Poplar Grove Guest Farm is the perfect getaway venue, a welcoming retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The surrounding grasslands allow excellent highveld birding, with regular sightings of Blue Korhaan, Secretarybird and Southern Bald Ibis, to name but a few. Unwind in the farm's own bird hide, or order a picnic basket to linger under weeping willow trees. Explore the walking trail to the nearby dam where various duck, egret and heron species and a host of other inland water birds can be observed. Experience the vast open highveld plains and or enjoy the variety of indigenous veld flowers in spring and fields full of cosmos in autumn.
