Live The Ranch Life

Ranching is not only our livelihood. It’s also our passion.

Come and spend a horseback weekend with us working our cattle the cowboy way, surrounded by the diverse beauty of the Natal Midlands. Partner up with a seasoned ranch horse and become part of the ranch team, checking and working cows for the day. Roll up your sleeves, and participate in herding cattle horseback, mustering and checking on herd health. Watch experienced ranchers demonstrate the art of roping to doctor any sick cattle.

After getting your fill of fresh air and wide-open spaces, horses are unsaddled, fed and brushed down. With the work done, relax around a fire pit and savour the adventures of the day. Enjoy country hospitality in authentic farmhouse accommodation with hearty farm-style dining all included.

Located just outside of Greytown, weekends run from Friday 12pm until Sunday 12pm for groups of families and friends, minimum of 4 and maximum of 8 people. Ranch Guests must be between the ages of 13 and 99 years young, and come with an adventurous love of the great outdoors. Previous riding experience may come in handy but is not a pre-requisite.

Bookings are confirmed with a 50% deposit. Full payment required 1 week prior to arrival.
