Gunyatoo Trout Farm & Guest Lodge

Welcome to Gunyatoo Trout Farm & Lodge, the ultimate country escape that offers a delightful combination of fly-fishing, birding, and nature retreat. Nestled in the breathtaking and malaria-free Rhenosterhoek valley, just off Long Tom Pass and conveniently located between Lydenburg and Sabie, our lodge is only 40km away from Nelspruit.

Indulge in our luxurious yet affordable accommodation at our thatch and stone lodge, which has recently been refurbished to perfection. With several suites to choose from, all boasting beautiful views of the surrounding pine forests, you'll feel a sense of tranquility and serenity from the moment you arrive.

Each room is en-suite and features a private patio, the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or tea while taking in the peaceful surroundings. If you prefer self-catering, we also offer a fully equipped, four-sleeper family cottage that has everything you need for a comfortable stay. For a more rustic experience, our fisherman's cottage is nestled at the edge of the property, right by the trout dams and raceways, making it ideal for group fishing trips.

As a working trout farm, we take pride in offering our guests the opportunity to experience the full spectrum of trout farming. Explore our processing area, hatchery, nursery, and raceways, and of course, enjoy fly fishing in our two stocked dams. For more experienced fishermen, limited stream fishing is available, and we can also arrange private fly fishing lessons and group clinics on-site.

After a fulfilling day of fishing, unwind at our bar, engage in a friendly game of pool or darts, and then relax in our sauna or take a refreshing dip in our swimming pool. And if the weather calls for it, warm up by the roaring log fires in our cozy lounge.

While Gunyatoo is undoubtedly a haven for fishermen, its natural beauty and serene atmosphere make it an ideal destination for any nature lover. Relax on our wooden decked patio and marvel at the abundant birdlife or take a leisurely stroll through the farm trails to discover nearby waterfalls and caves.

For those seeking adventure, we have you covered too. Enjoy clay-pigeon shooting right on our premises or arrange a Quad Bike tour, horse riding excursion, gorge-swinging adventure, or rafting trip. And with attractions like Sudwala Caves, Fanie Botha Hiking Trail, Kruger National Park, Panorama Drive, and Emnotweni Casino all within an hour's drive, there's never a shortage of things to do.

Golf enthusiasts will also find Gunyatoo to be a haven for their passion. With several golf courses just an hour's drive away from Sabie, our lodge is the perfect central base for a truly memorable golfing holiday.

Discover the charm and beauty of Gunyatoo Trout Farm & Lodge and create memories that will last a lifetime.
