Our Story
Fishing
For those looking for a unique fishing experience, Sandile’s Rest is the perfect destination. Our two dams are surrounded by natural beauty, and are perfect to help you learn the basic techniques of the sport. Come and try your hand at fly fishing today!
Scenic walks through the plantations and indigenous forests will lead you between stinkwood, ironwood, and yellowwood trees, plus at least 80 other tree species, some of which are labeled so that you can look and learn. There are streamside trails too where the water is the music and the plants amongst the rocks, the show.
There are more than 100 bird species to watch out for, including the very special (and now very rare) Cape parrot. Take a picnic, a stroll, or a quick trail run along one of the various routes in the area; you choose the pace.
Our log cabins are a luxurious retreat nestled near our peaceful dams. Experience a truly authentic Canadian-style stay, as all cabins are built with whole logs from our own plantation.
