Take a step back into a bygone era with a stay at Schaefers' Halt historic cottages, a self-catering stay for stressed city dwellers looking for an authentic country experience. The property is located in the Dullstroom countryside and is a nature lovers' retreat that offers country accommodation near Dullstroom in four cottages on the farm.
The nearby quaint town of Dullstroom gives a glimpse into village life with its high street shopping and many restaurants and pubs. Horse riding and beauty therapy are on offer nearby. Schaefers' Halt is close enough to take a day trip to the many tourist attractions in the area and a stop over to Kruger National Park and private game lodges in Mpumalanga.
The Dullstroom area saw much action in the Anglo-Boer War and the Highland Battlefields can be best appreciated on a tour.
This scenic property has fly-fishing in three medium ponds (stocked regularly), as well as access to river fishing. Bird watching, walking, hiking and mountain biking can all be enjoyed on this farm which boasts stunning views, waterfalls, birds and wild flowers.

Set in beautiful gardens or on a hillside with magnificent views of the mountains, each self-catering cottage is different, yet all are enchanting. The verandas, the thick walls, the open fire-places, the furnishings, as well as the Persian rugs on terra-cotta or concrete floors, are all reminiscent of a past era. Bed linen is of good quality and the gardens are extra-ordinary. Each cottage has a private veranda with seating and a kettle barbeque and encompasses breathtaking views over the foothills of the Steenkampsberg mountain range. All cottages have an "outage" backup in the form of torches,paraffin and LED lamps, candles, gas cooker and kettle- also reminiscent of a passed era. DSTV: Snug and Cosy have the full DSTV bouquet, while Windsong and Cloud only have the "Easyview" bouquet. Schaefers’ Halt with its historic atmosphere, personal touches and many little extras offers a memorable and affordable breakaway experience.
