The monument is kept neat and accessible for free to the public. Its an interesting part of South African history and a remembrance of past war battles that would otherwise be forgotten in the history books that few and far between ever read.

Incredible site. Well kept for the most part. It’s just before the road to Dullstroom off the N4. Highly recommend it followed by a trip to longtom pass to see the canon.

Rather odd. Huge memorial for the Boers who lost, little memorial for the British who won.

A very significant historic monument and with a striking design. Well worth a visit. It deserves to be better marketed and to receive proper attention. The place was in a great condition with my visit today. Lovely rural surroundings. It is also interesting to read the history and more should perhaps be provided on site. This spot marked the last conventional battle of the war and after the british broke through at this point the guarilla warfare stage started which also let to the concentration camp policy. It aldo is the point of the biggest artilay bombardment in history at that point in time. A must visit.

Good to visit the site of the last big battle and read about our history, cant believe the farm house close by was used by the ZARPs in the war. We must preserve our history and monuments.

This monument is a tribute to the 74 ZARPs that stood their ground against 1,500 soldiers of the British Empire.

Had so much fun. One of the most underrated monuments in this country. Be careful of bees. Had to rush my gf to the hospital because she is allergic.

This monument is actually well kept. The battle is explained on a nice big board. Would have liked to have more information about the architecture style. No bathroom facilities but engen close by. Worthwhile to visit if your into history of the war.

I have been there a couple of times, stopping on my way to Nkomati Mine, very nice spot to stop after a couple of hours of driving, I would like to get hold of the owner of the farm/land next to it though. The gate says, BEWARE OF THE DOGS, IF THE DOGS COME, CALL FOR HELP, IF NO HELP COMES, GOOD LUCK. The gate is next to the Bothas graves.

Great site . With some backing from the goverment this site could become a must see for visitors on the N4 . The stand of the Johannesburg Police against the overwheling odds of the British Regiments is akin to Rourkes Drift.

For years, Ive passed this monument. Would like to visit and have. Grass was neatly cut and the toilet cleaned. The information board was difficult to read. Short cleaning. The rest of the boards, especially the slain, are very clear. Although the Boers lost the battle, the visit was worth me.
