Schaefers’ Halt

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.

Schaefers’ Halt is fully aware of the concerns regarding the corona virus (COVID-19). We would like to confirm that Schaefers’ Halt is committed to maintaining professional hygene standards to ensure that high standards of cleaniness and hygene are maintained at all times, and according to the COVID-19 regulations.
