Hartfell Farm

Hartfell Lodge is set amongst the rolling hills, forests, and grasslands near Dullstroom. The farm offers lovely walks and views, and boasts three well-stocked trout dams for fly-fishing. The farm is split in half by the Kruisfontein Road. The top section is mainly grassland and the lower developed section is mainly forest, creating a unique ambience that is different to most other venues in the area. We cater for both the family getaway with peace and privacy, as well as for the keen fisherman. There are various walks on the farm, notably the waterfall walk, either to the base or to the top of the 30 m waterfall, a river walk close to indigenous forest, and longer perimeter walks around the area. These all offer something to bird enthusiasts, especially in the summer. Parts of the Kruisfontein Road are also used for mountain bike races, and joggers and mountain bikers alike enjoy the low traffic along the scenic route. The area also offers a wide variety of fauna and flora as a discussion with Piet, a nature enthusiast, will show. Fauna and flora include a number of nocturnal animals, interesting birds, and several red data plant species. Located a mere 11 km from Dullstroom, ensures that guests may enjoy the tranquility and complete privacy on the farm and yet be close enough to Dullstroom with its great pubs and shops. Three charming, fully furnished self-catering cottages are available, each with their own character to suit different tastes. Each cottage is completely separate and set in stands of very old oak and blackwood trees, therefore they are very private. All cottages are serviced and firewood is also provided for guests' convenience.

Reviews

  • "Loved the simplicity and peace"

    31 December 2019

    "Searles Cottage was so comfortable and ideal for our needs. A lovely covered verandah was where we spent most of our time and the fenced garden was great for our little one to run around in. The dams were lovely to spend time at and we had picnics every day while the boys fished and explored. It was very hot while we were there and we wished we had taken a fan for the mozzies and bugs at night but all in all, a lovely, peaceful getaway for Christmas."

    "Its the perfect week or weekend getaway. Beautifully situated - close enough to Dullstroom for a town visit yet far enough away to experience peace and tranquility. Cottage is well maintained, spacious - has everything you need (except a kitchen scissors!!) Greg was extremely helpful and friendly without being intrusive. A definite returner..."
