A quick 25km tarred detour off the N3 towards Giant's Castle brings you to White Mountain Lodge, which is where this annual music festival is held. With its spacious grounds, fishable dams, restaurant, charming old pub (with satellite TV), children's playground, swimming pool and convenience store, the lodge's many amenities add another dimension to the usual festival experience.
In addition, festival-goers can look forward to colourful arts and crafts, a beer market featuring several local breweries, as well as a wide variety of food stalls. There are also loads of fun activities for the whole family, ranging from abseiling, paintball and helicopter flips to guided hikes and a zip line across a nearby 100m-wide gorge.
One of the best-kept secrets on the music festival circuit, White Mountain is now in its seventh year and is known for its intimate, relaxed atmosphere and stunning setting. Situated less than 200km from Durban and 400km from Johannesburg, it makes for the ideal weekend getaway and is not to be missed!
