The last stretch of gravel road through the pines at golden hour

Two hours up, ten years back

From Johannesburg

About 2 h 40 on the N4 to Belfast, then the R540 through Dullstroom. The last four kilometres are farm gravel, friendly to any car.

From the airport

Kruger Mpumalanga International is 1 h 50 away. The concierge arranges transfers, and the driver knows where the pie shop is.

On arrival

Check-in from 14:00, checkout by 11:00, both bendable when the rack allows. Gates close at 22:00, night arrivals by arrangement.

Asked often, answered gladly

Children

Very welcome in the Crane Villas, where the second bedroom earns its keep. The rooms and the Nest are kept for grown-up quiet.

Weather

Highland rules: bright days, cold noses. Frost visits from May to September and the fires stay lit. Pack one more layer than you think.

Power and signal

The generator hums through load shedding before you notice it. Wifi is quick, cell signal is shy, and we consider that a feature.

Dinner

The Boathouse holds a table for every stay automatically. Tell the concierge about counter seats, birthdays or shellfish opinions.

Anything else, the concierge is on +27 13 254 0207 or stay@staynest.co.za, six in the morning to ten at night.
