Buchu Trail FAQs

The Buchu trail is open from 6am to 6pm

The Buchu trail is 8km loop from the trail head, back to the trail head.

An average hiker will complete the trail in 1-2 hours, with a few stops along the way.

An average mountain biker will complete the trail in 45 minutes to 1.5 hours, with a few stops along the way.

Checking in and out helps us keep track of who is on the farm at any given time. This is important for everyone’s safety, as it allows us to know how many people are on the trail, when they arrived, and (if and) when they have left.

It also confirms that all visitors have paid the required fee and are not trespassing on private property.
