Gunyatoo Trout Farm & Lodge,
is the perfect country getaway presenting a charming
fly-fishing, birding and nature retreat. Nestled in the
picturesque, and malaria free Rhenosterhoek valley (just
off Long Tom Pass - between Lydenburg and Sabie - 40km
from Nelspruit).
The guest lodge is ideally positioned for access to most
tourist attractions that Mpumalanga has to offer,
including Kruger National Park, Pilgrims Rest, Sudwala
Caves & the Panoroma. The thatch & stone lodge offers
luxurious, yet affordable accommodation. Recently
refurbished with several suites, all with beautiful
views of the surrounding pine forests.
Rooms are all en-suite, have their own private patio,
perfect for "feet up" early morning cuppa`s. For those
requiring self-catering, a fully equipped, four sleeper,
family cottage is available. The fisherman`s cottage,
which sleeps up to eight, offers a more rustic
self-catering option. It is secluded at the edge of
property, at the trout dams & raceways, and is ideal for
group fishing trips.
The farm is a full working "trout-farm", comprising of a
processing area, hatchery, nursery, raceways and
naturally, for the enthusiastic fly fisherman—two
stocked dams. Limited stream fishing is also available
for the more experienced fisherman. Private fly fishing
lessons and group clinics can be arranged on site.
After a days fishing one can enjoy a drink at the bar,
have a game of pool or darts then unwind in the sauna or
swimming pool. Of course should it be chilly one can
warm up around roaring log fires in the lounge.
