About Us
Creating a Memorable Life With Nature
This property belonged to Happy Day Tours form the early 1930s to 1964. According to our older guests (who have been bringing us their photos as proof) the most famous activity was to book a Tour to Oribi Gorge at the office in Margate. They offered tours to the Oribi area in a little ‘bread box’ bus up a dirt road (which must have been fun in the rain season!). This included a visit onto the overhanging rock which hangs over approximately 2.5m. If Mr Clyde Sussens (from Tshukudu Game Farm – Nelspruit Area), who used to visit the farmers in the area was around they would fetch him and his tame pet leopard Suzie (that travelled everywhere with him) to pose with the group on the rock for ‘really dramatic’ pictures. We have an original article from the local South Coast Herald from 1948 with Clyde and Suzie on the overhanging rock – this was how Happy Day Tours used to advertise this specific Tour.
