Field and Stream

The road to the venue.

Everything. Gavin is an excellent host and has a wealth of knowledge about the farm and area. Thank you Gavin

The location is beautiful - the best thing about this place! Lots to explore and see, fresh clean water in the rivers. Felt truly immersed in nature and not just a farm with dams for fishing. Accommodation was simple and rustic, but we had no problem with that. All was clean and cozy.

Excellent location, fishing dams very good, clean, kept up well.

The chalet we stayed in was not clean, carpets dirty, cupboards not clean, furniture worn and shabby, lounge suite collapsing as cushions have no more support.

Although the owner stubbornly insists that the property is accessible by car, it is definitely not. You need a bakkie or SUV. We had to turn around halfway down the hill as we didn't want to damage tyres or the cars themselves. The owner did kindly offer that we could park our vehicles at the entrance to the farm (in SA?) and that the property manager could shuttle us up and down in his vehicle whenever we wanted to go for breakfast, lunch, sightseeing or shopping. Unfortunately, we wanted the freedom to come and go as we please. We were disappointed as it seemed to be a beautiful location, but would not have booked there if we knew about the access issue. No refund either. Not even partially. Although we had a rough start to the weekend, we stayed at Dunkeld just down the road and the weekend turned out to be quite enjoyable.

Lovely accommodation with a large fenced in yard which was such a bonus as we had 4 dogs that weekend. The walks were beautiful! Gavin was very friendly and accommodating

Farm road not the best. Our children had small cars (Swifts) which they just managed to get down the farm road. If we go again we might try and leave their cars somewhere in Dullstroom town.

Very nice and secluded. You will need a vehicle with proper clearance to reach the farm. We had a medical emergency and Gavin was amazing in assisting us. Had a nice view over a dam and did not see the other chalets from our chalet. Facilities were great and it was like home from home. Enjoyed the fishing even if strictly catch and release. Areas around dams were neatly maintained. Will definitely visit again. Although it was not cold enough to light the fireplace there was sufficient wood to make a proper fire. Always had hot water since the water is heated by gas. The waterfall and rock pools for swimming was amazing. The staff was very friendly. We had to travel with two vehicles. The one vehicle had low clearance and Greg, the owner, assisted that we could leave one of our vehicles at his house in town. Overall we had a great experience despite the medical emergency where we had one of our family members admitted to hospital in Middelburg.

No Vodacom cellphone signal but mainly a problem due to the medical emergency that we had. Gavin did however assist with a phone and a booster. Mainly MTN. Also no wood fires allowed for a braai. Can only use charcoal. We prefer wood.
