Paul Cluver Forest Amphitheatre – a unique natural venue

Paul Cluver Forest amphitheatre

The Paul Cluver Forest Amphitheatre is the most unique and awe inspiring setting for performances and is only 45 minutes drive from Cape Town International Airport. A towering Eucalyptus forest encloses the intimate 600 seater-arena where every seat is a 'golden circle' seat, and which has been hewn from farm timber in its entirety. Performances are specifically chosen to match the natural acoustics of the venue.

Pack a picnic basket, purchase estate wine and come enjoy an evening of entertainment with great stars, under the stars!

Sculpture Garden & Contemporary Art
in Houw Hoek Valley

Wildekrans Sculpture Garden & Contemporary Art Click here for more details Wildekrans Country House is home to a collection of art works of some of South Africa’s internationally renowned contemporary artists. These include works by William Kentridge, Robert Hodgins, Wilma Cruise, Simon Stone, Hylton Nel, Deborah Bell and Guy du Toit. The most recent addition to this collection is a piece by Wilma Cruise – Sheep may safely graze. Sheep may safely graze: The return of the Bultfontein sheep is an installation at the Oliewenhuis Museum in Bloemfontein. The inspiration was provided by an infamous moment during the Anglo-Boer war. On the farm Bultfontein, which lies between the Vet and Sand rivers, sheep from the neighbouring farms were herded together, shot and left to rot in the sun. It is in memory of these sheep in particular, and the animals of the Boer War in general, that Sheep may safely graze: The return of
the Bultfontein sheep was conceived

South Africa succeeded in emerging from the turbulent 20th century as one of the freest democracies in the world. Now at the dawn of the 21st century, we live in a time of increasing peace and prosperity. Sheep have returned to the fold, where they may safely graze. The return of Bultfontein sheep signifies this period of grace and acts as a cipher for reconciliation.

Wildekrans Country House has five of these life-size ceramic sheep made in replica in a limited edition of 30.
