Geocache Description:


Lowlands Estate is a beautiful sheep, cattle and pecan nut farm on the Fish River 30 minutes northwest of Cradock. The farm also offers accommodation which means visitors can access the farm to see some of the magnificent landmarks and historic houses located here.  The Fish River flows all year round (except for a month during winter) thanks to the Orange-Fish water scheme which means the farm has an abundance of water which is evident in the fast-flowing river, full water channels, many irrigation pivots and green fields.

Lowlands Country House truly is an oasis of green lawns, beautiful gardens, shade trees and water in the middle of the arid Karoo Heartland

The house is another old farmhouse that has been converted to provide accommodation for visitors.. 

The cache is located at the D&A Waterfront (Dave and Anne's Waterfront) by the farm dam next to the garden.

Note - The electronic gate to the farm is open from 6am to 6pm, so don't get caught inside.

Another Note - Keep following the Lowlands Country House and Lowlands Manor signs and you won't get lost

Just in case Note - If you get lost or need assistance while on the farm, please phone Dave & Anne Bowker based at Lowlands Country House on 071 393 3354.  They are aware of the caches and gave permission for them to be placed.
