MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS 

STRAWBERRY HILL FARM IS SURROUNDED BY A 120KM-NETWORK OF MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILS WHICH FORM PART OF THE GROOTVADERSBOSCH CONSERVANCY TRAILS. 

You can choose from 4 different routes – each with a varying degree of technical difficulty. Most of the trail network consists of singletrack or rough farm track. The trails are what we call "real mountain biking" - fun but challenging. All the tracks are available to download here (kml and gpx). .

GET THE DETAILS

We highly recommend the trails available in Swellendam,
and the Bontebok National Park,
just outside of Swellendam. There are also some amazing trails close to Bredasdorp that are worth exploring.

BOOK YOUR RIDE

We can provide you with a permit when you visit. Or you can buy a day permit from the Grootvadersbosch Conservancy Office (situated on Strawberry Hill Farm) for R60.
