Neighborhood info

Our guesthouse in Muldersdrift is ideally located close to the Muldersdrift cycle route and the Avianto Mountain Bike Trails. The Avianto Trails are situated at Avianto clubhouse in Muldersdrift and accommodate every level of mountain bike skills. Ranging from beginner to expert, they are guaranteed to get your adrenalin pumping whilst you take in the beauty of the Muldersdrift countryside. The beginner/green loop trail is 6km in length and consists mostly of jeep track and dirt roads. The more experienced trail or blue intermediate loop is just over 17km with some more challenging sections with single-track and tougher climbs. The blue loop includes an old train track and tunnel which is a wonderful addition to the whole trail experience. Once on the blue loop riders have the option of taking the more advanced black sections which have been built for the more skilled mountain bike riders. For the expert rider there is the disreputable testing route, with a fairly short distance riders should not be misled, the name says it all testing both your skills and fitness levels. With our peaceful surroundings we offer our guests utter tranquility, rest and relaxation
