This property offers a diverse typographical layout of undulating hills, vast flat plains as well as the Hol River running annually after good winter rainfall. This typical fynbos winter rainfall veldt supports a diversity of vegetation with patches of grass, shrubs, and bushes, with denser riverine thicket along the banks of the river. Due to this balanced habitat system, there is a perfect balance in terms of a diversity of naturally available food for both browsers and grazers.

About 30 Oryx, a couple of Springbuck as well as indigenous small antelope such as Steenbok, roams the area. It is to be noted that only the strongest and most adaptable game survived the previous severe drought.
