There's nothing more inspiring than embracing our very own roots of arts and creativity. All our knowledge has its origin in our perceptions, where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art.
is not just only a place to visit itโ€™s like an achievement or the biggest thing to do on your bucket list. We have a permanent collection of artworks by Hugo Naudรฉ and Jean Welz. We also have a few sculptures by Bill Davis.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Behind every creative soul is a storyteller David Reade Glass Art our very own glass blower, he creates both functional and sculptural works, as well as commissions for some of the countryโ€™s top alcohol, cosmetic and architectural brands.

This is one of the great reasons to visit Worcester. Stay at a semi off-the-grid farmstead and enjoy the surrounding attractions!
Wine cellars like BC Wines for tastings at the highest producing wine farm in the area or a day out at Stettyn Family Vineyards (offering a MTB route and delicious lunch options.)
Visit Mountain Brewing Company on one of their open days (follow them to see when.)
Quaggaskloof Waterski Club is located nearby for watersports and fun for the whole family!
A fan of camping? At Quaggaskloof Waterski-club camping is an option with a view of the water and an on-site bar.
Right around the corner, you will find Rivierplaas Campsite also a must see with a surprise or two for the kids. (Which I'm sure a young at heart adult will enjoy just the same!)
