Day Visitors

The Karkloof Country Club welcomes day visitors to make use to its facilities and trail network.

All day visitor activities start and end at the club and you need to go to the club and visit the trails centre.  The Karkloof Club has extensive access to land, and has access agreements with Sappi and other private land owners in the Karkloof Valley. In order to be compliant, all day visitors are required to pay the day fees, sign an indemnity, and to wear a Day Visitor Armband, that you get at the Club when you register for the day. There is no other way to get access to the trail network as a day visitor.

No Access to the Plantation Roads or the Trail network is allowed without an armband.

Day permits are also available at:

Dove House Organic – Howick. Location Link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/krVjDMtKsReE29kG6

Parking is not allowed on any land that is part of the trail network.  You must park at the Club, and not on any roads, verges or depots associated with the private land owners that allow trails on their land.  Driving on private land to drop riders off is also strictly prohibited

Fees for day visitors are as follows:

Any person that partakes in any activity at or from the club is considered a day visitor. This includes riding, running, walking, dog walking, parking and going out on the road, tennis and squash. The only exception to this is people that are only making use of the Café and Bar, and doing no activity.

Compliance and Land Access:

Day Visitor access to the trails is strictly from the Karkloof Club.  You are required to have a permit before you start your ride.  You may not start riding and then go and get a permit.

Members can access the trails from any point, but need to comply to parking restrictions below.

The Karkloof Club has security on the trails and at the club to ensure compliance with our entry process, indemnity process and the land access agreements. Should people be found to be in contravention of the process, they will be subject to land owner policies, as, in essence, they are trespassing.

Please encourage non-compliant members to co-operate and to comply. They are putting the pleasure of all the conforming members and day visitors at risk by entering private land without the required permission.

Our staff are part of the Club team that supports the experience that you enjoy. Please do not abuse staff enforcing the entry process.

Parking:

Parking is not allowed on any land that is part of the trail network.  You may park at the Club or in Howick, but not on any roads, verges or depots associated with the private land owners that allow trails on their land.  Driving on private land to drop riders off is also strictly prohibited. Parking your car at the Club and going out on the road is considered an activity. Therefore, fees will apply. The Club is not a public car park
