It is amongst these surroundings that you will experience a feeling of fullness and wellness and spiritual awareness that is impossible to describe.
The land known as Silverstream was originally occupied by a Mr D.F.Barnard, who was given title to the property in 1896. Eventually the farm was abandoned, the simple house he built becoming a ruin and the area reverting back to nature.
One can't help thinking what life was like for these people who eked out an existence farming sheep in these remote, beautiful, but almost inaccessible mountain regions, especially when their sheep suffered the depredations of leopard, hyena and jackals.
Leopard, even today, although rarely seen, are known to exist in the kloofs of the surrounding mountains.
Silverstream was bought by the present owners in 1972 and is now administered by the E.Z.Powrie Trust as a piece of pristine mountain land to be preserved in it's natural state for it's unique Fynbos heritage.
