Amenities

Golf

The Gate golf course is unlike any other course in South Africa, being an Ernie Els Signature golf course and offering a technically superior golfing experience amidst some of the most spectacular scenery in the country. A combination of indigenous grasses in out-of-play areas and a fescue blend in the maintained areas are used to provide an emerald green playing surface all year round.

Trout fishing

Trout fishing opportunities exist in the natural weirs, streams and four dams on the estate.

Architecture

The architectural guidelines draw inspiration from the local Old Transvaal Style or Farm Style Architecture from the Dullstroom area. Designs are sympathetic to their surroundings, climatic conditions, topography, vistas, views and lifestyle of the Estate. Please request the architectural guidelines for more information.
