Absolutely charming cottage in a beautiful location

Stayed in May 2024

Lovely view, beautiful venue & peaceful!! We only stayed for one night in the Oak house as a family of 9! We loved the space and having dams so closely! We could fish even though we had only one night here. LOVED EVERYTHING!

It will be nice if each room could have a hairdryer.

My third time at African Leaves Trout Lodge in the Oak House. Again it was absolutely fantastic. The decor in the house is tastefully done, quality of beds and linen is very good. The staff always friendly and keen to assist. The landscape is out of this world...we will defnitely return.

Brilliantly thought out! Even down to the back up power! Having standby invertor for Wi-Fi and back up lights on charge is a class touch!

When we arrived, it wasn’t clear which building we were staying in. There is a choice of left or right as you enter the property and we of course went the wrong way. We couldn’t figure out how to get in. No available contact. Luckily booking.com was able to connect with a person. After a long travel day, it was quite frustrating.

Very peaceful location. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Buildings were quite interesting and fun to look at all the antique stuff.

Have been there before but stayed at the smaller silo house. The oak house is similar in style and was just really special as always. Such a beautiful place away from anything.

Another superb stay here! Plenty of fires made, a lot of food eaten in all 3 table settings provided, a great sundowner session at the waterfall and some good fishing and down time. Also it was a big help with the house being set up so well with load shedding lights and the schedule printed out. Really easy and to get to and excellent communication with staff for extra needs, such as wood/ice replenishment.

Such a stunning place! Super friendly staff, equipped with everything you need and more, lots of beautiful spaces for social and private time. Pity we only needed to stay for one night - If I had known it was so wonderful I would have booked for longer. Would definitely suggest it to any couple, family or group of friends! Also, a perfect distance from Dullstroom.

can’t say there was much I didn’t like! load shedding sucks but the house was well equipped. the outdoor shower wasn’t really useable as the water trickles.

The home is beautiful & in the most wonderful location. private, serene, quiet and peaceful. the beds were comfy and great linen. absolutely loved the bar area - very fun! well equipped and furnished.

This was honestly one of the most beautiful places we have ever been to and we have travelled extensively. We WILL be back but this time for a lot longer.

I was blown away by the setting and the house itself. The main house is just SO beautifully designed and styled. The dual fire place which warms the kitchen/dining area as well as lounge area makes the home super cosy. The bar is so unique as well. Rooms are lovely with comfy and classy linen. Annexure with the main room (with outdoor shower and fireplace) and additional room is right next to the main house so private but very much part of the main house. The beautiful vine covered veranda was perfect for al-fresco dining and a beautiful breakfast setting. The views of lakes and mountains were breathtakingly beautiful and we loved the short hike to the waterfall.

Beautiful property in a beautiful location.

Well equipped and spacious house. The dam next to the property is fantastic for fly fishing.

There was nothing to complain about!

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay. The ambience and beautiful interior decorating enhanced our holiday. After a weeks stay we all wished we could have stayed longer. Our children with the grandchildren enjoyed the tranquility away from the city and the scenery was out of this world. The best part was that even our Border Collie was welcomed and enjoyed the farm life!

The lighting in the house

Beautiful setting and beautiful home

Stayed in October 2022

Three lovely bedrooms, all en-suite. Large living room area and well-stocked kitchen. Beautiful quiet scenery to recharge and get away from the city. Cruelty free hand wash and bodylotion in the bathrooms, which is always a plus for me. Tamaryn communicated well and was very responsive to enquiries.

utensils for braai and fireplace

Its secluded, beautiful and well equipped.

Stayed in August 2022

Even with all the fires going the heaters were ineffective and it was difficult to keep the house warm. Trout fishing facilities were underwhelming. The short dirt road was a little tricky with a sedan but we made it over without damaging our cars.

The location was brilliant the accommodation ample and very well kept

Stayed in July 2022

Nothing, everything was exceptional!!!

The setting of the houses allows for ample private time if needed, and there is more than 1 area that you can visit in. So much space!
