Sightseeing

The temporary exhibition, hosted in the converted shed, tells a story of Nelson Mandela’s journey through life and how he built a new nation from within a conflicted South Africa. The sculpture, a collaboration between artist Marco Cianfanelli and Jeremy Rose, significantly comprises 50 steel column constructions – each between 6.5 and 9.5 metres tall – set into the Midlands landscape. The approach to the site, which has been designed by Mashabane Rose Associates, leads one down a path towards the sculpture where, at a distance of 35 meters, a portrait of Nelson Mandela, looking west, comes into focus. The 50 linear vertical units, line up to create the illusion of a flat image.

The home was originally Thatched, Sir George extended the original house adding on a lounge with a vaulted ceiling an office and what is now the kitchen. He then used corrugated iron which was imported to roof the house. His Grandson Tom Sutton sold Fairfell to Dawn Mackenzie in 1979, for a period of 20 years prior to this sale, the house was rented out to various families. Dawn then sold it on 4 years later to Derek and Eve Hughes. In 2003 Sandra Murphy purchased Fairfell and established what is now the Yellowwood Café and Restaurant.

Entertainment & Activities

The Karkloof Canopy Tour begins with a detailed safety briefing followed by a ‘Kitting up’ session where full body harness, pulleys and climbing equipment are put on and checked for safety. A short scenic 4x4 drive to the top of the Karkloof valley and it is time to monkey around! From the start on the launch platform a new world unfolds as one gently glides on a steel cable to the first platform. All groups are escorted through the forest canopy by a lead guide and a safety guide to ensure your safety as you slide from tree to tree. The platforms are built high up in the forest canopy and all offer different views of the surrounding forest, a magnificent 20m waterfall, clear sparkling forest stream and across the expansive Karkloof valley far below. Spend a couple of minutes relaxing on the platforms while your guides enthusiastically explain the ecology of the forest – pointing out different trees and the magnificent giant ferns way below. The bird life is incredible. This includes the opportunity of spotting Emerald Cuckoos, Knysna Loeries, a wide variety of raptors and if you are lucky, the elusive Narina Trogon or endangered Cape Parrots. The forest is also home to a variety of mammals, but it is the loud calls and fearsome tree swinging of the Samango monkeys that you will remember best. The Karkloof Canopy Tour consists of 12 platforms and 10 zip-line slides, the longest of which is over 200m! A tour lasts approximately two hours, this is a safe, fun adventure for people between the ages of 5 and 80+ and includes refreshments during the tour and a light lunch served at the end.
