FYNBOS

Pofadderskloof is characterized by the diversity of the Montane Fynbos. Over the last 10 years we have cleaned the farm from alien vegetation (mainly Hakea), invested heavily in erosion control, limited the access of poachers and brought back the beauty of the fynbos to this pristine location near the Cape Agulhas.

TIMBER

In the center of the farm are some 300ha of pine trees. Over the last 10 years we have converted the wild growing trees into a sustainable plantation. A small sawmill was established and since 2 years we are serving the local communities with timber products (pallets, furniture, beehives and other).

WEATHER

The weather on Pofadderskloof is a warm mediterranean climate. However giving the altitude (450m) of the farm and only 30KM from both oceans, several extremes have been recorded. Wind with up to 90KM/h and annual rainfall of up to 1800mm.
