Approximately 200 m from the homestead is a 6.5-hectare dam where there is a beautiful floating platform and a large flat-bottomed canoe for guests to use. There are also fishing rods that guests can use.

The establishment is on a working farm that offers guests the opportunity to witness a variety of farm activities. The Rocklands area is one of the top three destinations for bouldering in the world.
