Attractions

Not that you need do anything, Sewula is perfect for spending your days and nights comfortably lazing, reading and socialising, surrounded by the unique natural drama of the Sewula Gorge, the waterfall and the river. Swim in the cool pools and sunbathe on the sandstone slabs.

If you want to walk, SEWULA offers much. There are clearly marked paths and guides.

The delightful shaded river walk can be extended by swimming in the rock pools and spending time at the Bald Ibis nesting site
A fine example of an iron-age (14th Century) ‘fortified hill site’ is easy of access and immediately behind SEWULA
Of great interest is the Rensburg Koppie National Monument where in 1838 a small group of Voortrekkers escaped being killed by Zulu soldiers by fleeing to the stony hillock next to the iron-age hill
There is a steep but gentle walk to an Anglo-Boer War 1899 defensive position with its dry-packed stone ’sangas’ clearly visible
The surrounding cattle ranch offers mountain bike tracks, dam fishing as well as pleasant and easy walks
If one wants to get into a motorcar then there is a treasure trove of activities. Estcourt town has all sporting facilities, good supermarkets and other services. The Drakensberg is an hour away, as are the Battlefield sites on the Tugela line and the Midlands Meander is reached within half an hour
