This nature lovers paradise in the is situated at the start of the famous BOESMANSKLOOF HIKING TRAIL (permit needed) and those who wish to do so can hike the 16km to Greyton or otherwise you can take our own private hiking trails at ONVERWACHT with mountain streams, waterfalls and natural rock pools. You do not need a permit to hike on ONVERWACHT.

Onverwacht Flora is an ideal getaway for nature lovers, week-enders, hikers and mountain bikers. Of course you could relax and listen to the dawn chorus, the singing of the sugarbirds or the rumbling of the distant river rock pools.

The lights of the nearby villages of the R62 (the world’s longest wine route) and the Overberg are a picturesque view by day and night.

Onverwacht Flora overlooks the Gobos River with many refreshing rock pools to choose from for having lots of fun!
Make time to hike by following the directions starting from the Gobos River or the nearby marked foot-path.

The mysterious 'Galg Road' is a fascinating piece of history to discover when you visit us.
