Archery Adventures — a targeted escape into nature 

In 2018, adventure seekers Chris and Karin Spiess moved to South Africa, settling their family on a stunning piece of land. There, they built a small archery range a few steps away from their pool, offering a unique activity for their guests. However, thanks to Chris’s love for adventure, innovation, and a bond formed with the local archers, this small side activity transformed into Archery Adventures, a thriving business actively sought out by guests seeking something unforgettable. Today, with their two breathtaking locations, Archery Adventures continues to deliver fun, unique, and nature-immersed experiences for all who visit.  

Unleash your inner archer at Archery Adventures 

Located on an Old School Farm in Plettenberg Bay and the Lourensford Wine Estate in Somerset West, Archery Adventures offers visitors three types of archery activities each surrounded by a picturesque backdrop. Consistently nurtured from Chris and Karin’s love of movement and discovery, guests can choose from either 3D archery, with night and day sessions available, or target practice at dedicated ranges.   

The 3D archery range takes the archery experience to another level, where, after a hands-on introduction at a target wall, guests will head out down a guided trail through the bush hunting for foam animals. The activity is immersive, and at the end of the session, winners are chosen based on the results.  

Despite it being a new activity, 3D night archery has quickly become a guest favourite. Like its daytime counterpart, teams are taken through an extensive introduction before an experienced guide leads the group down a marked trail lit by the team and glowing foam targets.   

At Archery Adventures, their two dedicated target ranges are perfect for beginners and competitive shooters. An experienced guide will take guests through a comprehensive introduction followed by a lesson in the basics of shooting in a safe and supportive environment. Once all the guests are confident in their abilities, skills will be put to the test with a friendly competition. 

It is worth noting that there are a few requirements to embark on an archery adventure. Firstly, guests must be at least eight years old and are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing, closed-toe shoes, sun protection, and a light jacket. No prior experience is required, and the team will provide guests with bows, arrows, protective gear, and lighting for the night sessions.   

Shopping for gear 

Archery Adventures offers an online shop on its website. There, shop top-of-the-range equipment from bows, gloves, armguards, checkers, targets, and carbon core arrows.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.  We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Our team of journalists are seasoned travels and love visiting the myriad of exciting places around South Africa.  Whether it is off the beaten track or in the heart of the top attractions of the country, we’ll be there,

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation?  Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose. 

Expensive is not always better.  Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday.  They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice.  A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday. 

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance.  Of these, service is the most important. 

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion.  However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review.  We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience?  The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table. 

Well that’s our theory anyway.  It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced.  However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience.  In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe.  It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
