Welcome to Cannon Valley estate and its beauty.
The property is app. 22 hectares in size and borders the Southern Atlantic Ocean. It is one of the last undeveloped properties in the Southern Cape and is bordered by the same on all sides. The beauty of the ocean and the beach are the main attractions as well as the peace and quiet that one experiences while enjoying your stay.
Nature Conservancy- the property is situated within the Fransmanshoek Nature Conservancy and therefore we politely ask that the proper respect be given to not only the ocean and the beach, but also to the fauna & flora on the property. For further info, please visit www.fransmanshoek.co.za
Mosselbay is app. 35 kms from the estate, which is probably the most scenic town in the Southern Cape. The town accommodates everything, from the best shopping facilities to the most enjoyable entertainment.
Other Interesting places are Gouritzriver-mouth, Vleesbay and Fransmanshoek – all being within app. 10 kms from the estate and worth visiting.
Beach-walks seem to be the best way to unwind and find yourself. When challenging the rocky shore, please be careful and always wear non-slip shoes.
Rock and Surf-fishing is one of the more popular things to do on the app. 6 kms beach and rocks, with many record catches already made in the area.
Tip;- Limit your catch and do not catch your limit.†(When not sure of the limits or sizes, rather ask.)
Deep-sea fishing;-Charters can be arranged with the manager, on a well equipped boat in Mosselbay. (If rock and surf fishing does not deliver the fish on the table, this is how you make sure of a fresh one.)
Radio-control model flying;-is also done on the natural lawn-runways on the premises, under supervision of the manager.( No flying though, to the detriment of other parties enjoying the peace & harmony of the nature.)
Picnic & Braai on the beach;-no fires are allowed on the beach, but the picnic-area specially made for this, is facilitated with water and hosts not only a beautiful scenery, but also is close to the sea.
Driving on the beach;- is prohibited by law and therefore not allowed; The most popular Vleesbaai-duine- roete is neighbor to the estate on the north-east, where any 4×4 vehicle and driver are challenged to the extreme.
Other attractions;- are ample and can be enquired with at the manager’s, where plenty brochures are available with the necessary indications or contact-details.
HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY
