SUMMERHILL FARM.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURES AROUND THE GIANT PINEAPPLE.
A 16 m high Giant Pineapple, offering spectacular views of the entire farm ,and a audio visual presentation showing the full pineapple story.
A fascinating farming operation including pineapples ,chicory ,straw crops, orchards ,pastures and livestock.

A restaraunt ,pub, tea garden , take away kiosk and gift shop housed in the original settler homestead, barn and out buildings.
There is also three leisurely walking trails, as well as a motorised farm tour with a tractor stopping at special places of interest, which include an ethnic Xhosa village ,a model mini farm,where children can see a show and feed the baby animals, as well as two dams stocked with bass for fishing and a childrens playground.
