Rumali Trail Run….recently taken over and family-run. We are working hard to breathe new life into the farm. We proudly raise ostriches in the summer, grow premium grapes for Montagu Wines and produce olives supplied to the renowned Willow Creek. Our three cottages offers peaceful farm stay experiences for guests looking to unwind in nature.
This event is pet-friendly, so if you want to bring your canine on a leash to run with you…you are at the right place.
The best view water station with a twist awaits you. Bring your camera…
Onwards and upwards !!
