What to do at Surval Boutique Olive Estate

Not feeling lazy enough to spend time in your room, with a good book, perhaps? Or perfect sunny weather (for which the region is known) outside? Feel free to try any of the following to make your stay even more enjoyable:

Swimming Pool

Relax in our sparkling clear swimming pool after a day of sightseeing and adventure in and around Oudtshoorn. The view is an ever changing canvas of mountain and valley scenery. There is also a lapa with barbeque facilities available for your enjoyment.

Orchard room

Cold winter evenings can be spent in the Orchard Room, our communal lounge, with a warm fireplace and luxurious leather couches, where you can spend time with friends in a cosy setting, or curled up with a favourite book and a glass of red wine.

Horse riding with Kango Horse Riding

Experience the unspoiled natural beauty of the Little Karoo's wide open spaces with a horse riding excursion with Kango Horse Riding. This is a wonderful opportunity to appreciate the wide variety of fauna and flora of the region, while you enjoy the antics of the meerkat families in their burrows, as well as the abundance of hares and small antelope. At the end of the day, our unequalled sunset will ensure the perfect end to your trip.

Mountain Biking

We have mountain bikes for hire, or you can bring your own, and enjoy the countryside under your own steam. Mounties all over the world are in agreement that there is no better way to get a close up view of the unique futures of an area, in a short time, than by mountain bike, powered by your own breath and legs.

Walking trails

We have a number of walking trails on the premises, suitable for everyone, from the fittest, to the not-so-fit, to families with small children. Remember to bring comfortable walking shoes with sturdy soles and heel support.

Stargazing

Far from the glare of the city lights, you can see and enjoy the Milky Way in its full splendour. Bring your telescope, or just lie on your back on the outside lawn and wonder about the vastness of the universe, and what is out there. (Note: the Little Karoo is considered to be one of the best places on earth for star gazing. This is the reason that the region was selected as one of two 'finalists' for the world's most powerful radio telescope, the SKA ("Square Kilometre Array") Telescope.

Enjoy a picnic

"Let us make a feast
Upon the summer grass
Let us find a quiet place
And make the moment last."
