Sprawling over almost 1000 hectares mountains and cradled in a valley surrounded by mountains the venue is a sanctuary of indigenous forests, lakes, rivers and waterfalls.

A beautiful little watermill is situated on the property that was built toward the end of the 19th century. This watermill played a vital role during the Anglo-Boer War as it kept the Boer's fed right through the war and withstood plots by the British to have it ruined. Today, the attractive red-roofed mill house with its steel overshot wheel is a captivating historic addition to what is now a privately owned estate known as Valley of the Rainbow.
