The Moonlight Hill walking trail starts right behind the house and leads to the Victoria West nature resorts that contain the Riverine Rabbit. It offers a 180 degree view of the Karoo and the Victoria West dam with breathtaking sunset views!
The Riverine Rabbit (Bunolagus monticularis - Lepus m.) is an endangered species. Its habitat is dense riverine scrub along the seasonal rivers of the central Karoo Desert. Between 1948 and 1979 none were spotted, and were assumed to be extinct. Most of its habitat has been destroyed by agriculture.
