Geocaching
Farmhouse Lodge Matopos is a proud supporter of Geocaching! The Farmhouse lodge has two caches located on the property; a ‘traditional cache’ and a ‘multicache’. If you would like to find the multi-cache a small fee is charged as it requires (a lot) of walking throughout the reserve. Bikes can be hired at an additional cost. This cache is not for the faint-hearted!
