The permanent art exhibition on its own is worth the visit, but always interesting other exhibitions. The sculpture garden offer peaceful surrounding to relax with friends and family. Short hikes available and just lots of interesting aspects to explore. #wintergetaway

Golden gate national park It is located in Free state at the Lesotho boarder. The park's most notable features are its golden, ochre, and orange-hued, deeply eroded sandstone cliffs and outcrops, especially the Brandwag rock. Another feature of the area is the numerous caves and shelters displaying San rock paintings and wildlife. Amazing to see the ochre/golden yellow rocky outcrops. Well worth it to spend a few days in the vicinity of Golden Gate ;) Plenty of walking trips and lots of nature and view- points to enjoy.There are also baboons and monkeys #wintergetaway
