Eselfontein, the oldest working farm in the famous Ceres Valley, practices mixed farming with apples, peaches, pears, grain & dairy, and yes, trail running and mountain biking.
Surrounded by the majestic Skurwe and Matroosberg mountains, Eselfontein’s rugged natural landscape include beautiful rock formations, perennial waterfalls, proteas, fynbos and an abundance of indigenous wildlife such as the suurpooitjie tortoise, leopard, fish eagle and many other birds, baboon and buck. The Breede River, which has its source in the mountains above Eselfontein, flows through the farm into our beautiful dam next to the Eselfontein Eco Huts.
The true magic of Eselfontein lies in the variety and quality of purpose-built single-track trails, designed specifically for mountain biking and trail running. Whether you get your kicks from lung-busting climbs, breathtaking views, long fast descents, flowing and/or technical single-track trails, or just a mellow cruise through the orchards, Eselfontein has your number!
Eselfontein offers a variety of accommodation options including basic camping; the rustic yet comfortable Eselfontein Eco Huts; and the more upmarket Eselfontein Guest House.
In addition to mountain biking and trail running, the Ceres Valley is rich in it’s recreational offering, including fishing in the Titus and Breede Rivers, horse riding and enduro trails on neighboring farms, bird watching and much more.
