Staging events at Sandstone Estates in the Eastern Free State is becoming more difficult.  This is due to the state of the roads which make the coach tour operators reluctant to visit us.  People with ordinary cars have to also drive very carefully due to the serious potholes.  However certainly as far as our South African market is concerned people are robust and if they want to come they certainly turn up.  Friday and Saturday were well attended but Sunday with 100% rain for the day tended to keep the visitors away.

“Very well organised event people friendly , the food drinks set up all a world class event, people that hasn’t been here missing out big time !!” “We had the most amazing time at Sandstone Estates today and I’m incredibly grateful to you for making it such an incredible occasion.
