Landmeterskop lends itself to long, leisurely walks or bike rides along the farm trails; swimming in the farm dam, and picnics along the dams or the perennial stream running through the farm. The more adventurous might want to walk amongst the fynbos growing naturally on the sandstone slopes of the mountain – many species of the Watsonia and Protea families, Leucadendron, Mimetes, Serruria, Leucospermum, Vygies (Mesembryanthemums), Brunia, Staavia, Pelargonuim, Oxalis, Adenandra, Erica family, Dischisma ciliatum, Selago, Lobelia family, Syncarpha family, Metalasia Gladiolus family. There are more plant species in the Overberg region than in the entire United Kingdom (a total of 2 500, of which 300 are endemic). Some areas have a higher density of plant species than the Amazon.

Apart from the fynbos, Landmeterskop is also a bird-lover’s paradise! Many of the 350 bird species of the Overberg could be seen or heard here: African Fish Eagles (Haliaeetus vocifer), Secretary Birds (Sagittarius serpentarius), Blue Cranes (Anthropoides paradiseus), Burchell’s Coucal (Centropus burchellii), Malachite Sunbirds, tits (tinktinkies), guineafowl, various owl species, Fiscal Shrikes, Cape Robin-Chats (Cossypha caffra), Bokmakieries (Telophorus zeylonus), Cape Bulbuls, Karoo Prinias, Protea Seedeaters, Cape Siskins, Cape Sugarbirds, Orange-breasted Sunbirds, Southern Tchagras, Victorin’s Warblers and woodpeckers. More common species include Bar-throated Apalis, Cape Batis, Cape Grassbirds and Swee Waxbills. Also expect to find a good selection of birds of prey such as Verreaux’s Eagles, Lanner and Peregrine Falcons, Rock Kestrels and a variety of accipiters such as African Goshawks, African Harrier-Hawks and Black and Little Sparrowhawks.
