Bowling

Apart from the range of other activities offered here at Eight Bells we are justly proud of our bowling green. After a range of very successful Bowling Academy’s held here and two visits from International Bowling Groups, we decided to form the Eight Bells Bowls Club and are currently affiliated to Eden Bowls and SA Bowls.

Our on-site Green keeper, Callie Schutte, has put in a lot of hard work and we can now proudly say that the green is in an excellent condition. We have many sets of bowls available suitable for all players, be they novices or serious bowlers.

With beautiful surroundings and views over the Outeniqua Mountains, we are sure that bowling at Eight Bells will appeal to bowlers from all over South Africa.
