Kinloch Lodge

The most gorgeous little farm stay! Perfect for what you want in Dullstroom, and walks and fishing and lovely gardens on site and it’s close to town if you want to pop in. The hosts made our stay! Such lovely people and the little details and touches made our stay 100 x better then we could have imagined

Amazing place. Beautifully appointed with lovely views. The hosts are wonderful and we will defintely be back. A gem!

EVERYTHING

What an amazing stay it was! Kinloch Lodge is perfectly located with an abundance of peace and quiet. The hosts were great and we even got freshly baked muffins for Saturday morning. Would definitely recommend this gem to friends and family!

The cooking area (two-plate and little oven) could use a makeover but definitely not a deal breaker!

It has the best view and the place has all the facilities one would need. The owner are very kinds. They were worried why we took long to come and check in. They answer the phone all the time.

De locatie is een en al rust en heel groot! Erg schoon en mooi!

Er is geen internet en geen tv. Dat vonden we minder. We maakten een verre reis en konden op deze manier geen contact houden met ons thuisfront. Verder zijn er geen faciliteiten dus dan is het fijn om in de avond wat te doen te hebben. De weg naar de accommodatie toe was echt heel erg slecht, zandpad. Bij regen is het eigenlijk niet begaanbaar.

Loved the hosts, they were so kind and friendly. They made us feel like we were part of their family. Such a lovely place with great people and awesome cats.

Not applicable. It is a self catering facility. However the gesture of the owner brining us oven baked muffins every morning will forever remain with us.

Perhaps owners could consider including cleaning fee in the daily rate upfront.

Location and the beautiful farm and dams. Lots to do

The kitchens in the various units could be better equipped

Everything. The experience of being in a small piece of paradise isolated from the rest of the world was exactly what we needed. The location was beautiful and clean and the owners were phenomenal hosts! We cannot wait to make another visit.

The road getting into Kinloch is a bit of a rough drive so be sure to go in a tall car or something capable of 4x4 but this is only a minor note.

We really enjoyed the warm hospitality that our hosts provided. The units were clean and well equipped to cater for our needs. The farm is beautifully well kept and was an extreme pleasure to stay at. We will definitely be back!!

The fact that we only stayed for a weekend.

Peaceful and serene place, surrounded by rolling hills.

Fantastic location offering both fly fishing and Bass fishing. Bass fishing in Lake Kinloch only. All other dams fly fishing only. Wonderful hosts. My wife caught her first Rainbow Trout after a lesson from Ian. Will definitely be back.

The lodge offers complete privacy and seclusion, surrounded by a beautiful mix of forests, open fields, and tranquil dams. It’s only a short 15-minute drive to the town of Dullstroom, making it ideal if you’d like to pop out for a leisurely lunch or dinner. The owners are incredibly kind and made us feel right at home. Our two-sleeper cottage was wonderfully cozy, with immaculate attention to detail in every aspect, creating a charming and inviting country-cottage atmosphere.

Beautiful and cozy stay in our cottage with a roaring fireplace for a cold winters fishing stay.Lovely and warm welcome from Sian and Ian, with some delicious muffins. Sian was super responsive to all our needs.Great fishing and easy access to the dams with a variety of options and places to fish. Great walks and amazingly surrounded in nature.

Clean and close to finishing dams

The location is amazing! So peaceful and tranquil… yet only 15 mins from Dullstroom. We stayed in Dunbar cottage and it was so cosy with the log fire. We walked everyday around the farm, up and down the rolling hills admiring the stunning views. Ian, our host, was most welcoming on arrival and we loved all the cats!

Nothing…

Great location, beautiful and well decorated property. it's already our 5th visit, and I wish I could come more.

Our stay at Kinloch Lodge was wonderful, with fantastic fishing and a stunning location. Sianny, the host, was exceptional - her warm hospitality shone through despite having to handle an unexpected emergency at the time. Highly recommend!

The host is absolutely amazing! She was very helpful with items we forgot to pack, filling up the wheelbarrow with wood as we ran out and my favorite was the freshly baked muffins in the morning.

Kinloch provided the best fly fishing experience we've had in Dullstroom, with a variety of well-stocked dams to choose from. The accommodation is tasteful and cozy, with thoughtful touches throughout. The fireplace and electric blankets kept us warm and comfortable during the winter chill. Sianny brought us freshly baked muffins in the morning—a lovely personal touch. The peace and quiet make this the ideal retreat. We’ll definitely be back soon!

The ambiance.

Everything was wonderful. Loved the muffins in the morning.

The road was a bit bad and the location was difficult for people who do not know the area.

The hosts are amazing and the surrounding area is beautiful. Fresh muffins get delivered to the unit every morning as a treat from host!

Kinloch Lodge is definitely “Home away from home”. The warmth and friendliness of the hosts, the tranquility and privacy make it a place to remember. We loved our stay and looking forward to returning in the future.

Ian, Sianny, and the clowder of cats are incredible hosts. We had a really great time fishing and walking. It's a truly beautiful place. I look forward to going back again.

The last section of dirt road was the only downside. Summer in the rain must be stressful.

The cottage was very well equipped, comfortable and clean.

Thank you, Ian and Sianny. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Kinloch. We loved Inverness cottage. The rooms are large and well-appointed. The electric blankets were very useful. We have wonderful memories of sitting around the cozy fireplace in the evenings. The highlight of the day was the early delivery of your most delicious muffins. The lawns are green and lush,and the farm views are stunning. The dams were well stocked with fish. We can highly recommend Kinloch Lodge.

Location, the silence, but most of all, the reception by the hosts and the warm manner in which they communicate to all their guests.

nothing....

From our arrival, we were welcomed like old friends, a beautiful lodge, with stunning views, incredible hosts, where nothing is too much trouble. The special touches - warm, homebaked muffins in the morning, special birthday cake with sparklers, a sign on the front door welcoming us - just wonderful!

The road was a little challenging, but that was due to the rainy days previously. When we left, the roads were much better.

Beautiful scenery, outside the hustle of town but close enough for a quick drive to town. Very friendly hosts, we even woke up every morning to freshly baked muffins at the door!

Our stay should've been longer!

Nice cosy house in a quiet farm, lovely hikes, lovley dans and lovely cats! The muffins in the morning were amazing

Everything was great!

As usual it was awesome. A real home from home. I will definitely be going back....

The cottage was awesome, with a fireplace and comfortable couches.The trout dams is so nice and plenty of fish. The host was great and very friendly. I recommend this place highly!

Ian and Sianny were the perfect hosts, we were immediately made to feel welcome. The cottage was comfortable and well appointed with lovely decor and art. The freshly baked muffins every morning were a special touch. The fishing was excellent with many rainbows and 3 browns. A special place and we are already looking forward to our next trip.

Absolutely nothing.

Beautiful place to go for long walks, loved the Koi dam, and stunning views. Peaceful and restful weekend. The best were the early morning warm muffins on our doorstep. Thank you for sharing your beautiful farm.

Secluded farm style retreat with a focus on fly fishing.

Host Sianny treated us with warm home made muffins every morning -- on the house! She also came to our rescue with some mozzie repellant when we realized we hadn't packed that. For the rest, we had total privacy and enjoyed a wonderful restful weekend.

The short dirt road to Kinloch Lodge is accessible if you don't have a 4X4 or all-wheel drive vehicle, but it's very slow going, especially after it has rained. So factor that into your travel time.

Tranquility and peace

A perfect go-to place for peace and quiet. I had the best time ever and will definitely be returning! From the moment we arrived, we received such a warm welcome. The owner made us feel incredibly comfortable and right at home. Sianny is truly the best!

Took a shot left with a friend to rejuvenate and get away from the city. What a beautiful 😍 farm with beautiful views, spacious cottage with antique furniture, personalized artwork, bedding and bed very cozy, friendly welcome from host, lovely welcome board, delicious morning muffins! What more can I say....you need to come visit the place to experience all of the above. Their home is also so lovely 😍 they are doing this from deep within. They really showed us love and I left their place fulfilled. It's more then a guest farm....it tells their beautiful love story and how to look at life amid adverse times. Thank you Sianny and Ian 🤩

The lodge is so secretly located that it gives the ideal secluded feel. Sianny and Ian are very friendly and accomodating. The warm muffins in the morning and delicious . It is a must repeat.

Idyllic settings. Good fishing. Ian and Sianny are lovely hosts. Thanks for the upgrade!

Weber braaii was falling apart.

Beautiful serene garden and setting

Nothing

Loved the peace and tranquility of the place that is well looked after by the the most hospital hosts Sianny and Ian. They really made us feel at home. The beautiful gardens and little lakes on the property make it a fabulous get away.

Be aware that you do need a 4 X 4 to get there, particularly in the rainy season.

The hosts made us feel welcome from arrival to departure. The chalet was even prettier than advertised and everything was spotless. The beds were very comfortable and the blankets more than enough. We appreciated the fresh, clean towels. We were treated to the most delicious warm muffins every morning, even on Christmas morning! We wanted peace and quiet for Christmas and it was exactly what we experienced; peace, quiet, and nature's beauty. A definite return for us!

From the moment you arrive they make you feel at home. So it's actually home from home. The service is exceptional. And if I must say so the homemade muffins we got on Saturday are simply the best. Already planning our next trip back. Thank you for the excellent service. See you soon...

Incredible owners who even let me move dates due to my own booking error. Beautiful big Islay cottage.

All good.

We liked (actually loved) everything! Sianny & Ian the hosts were wonderful, such warm and friendly beautiful people! The history, the nature, the trees, the gardens, the pine trees, the trout dams, coy dam, geese pond the animals horse, cows, chickens, cats, ducks and geese were all over and gorgeous to see and hear. The cottage was amazing,the fireplace so stunning, vases full of beautiful branches from outside placed beautifully inside, all so so beautifully done, functional, peaceful, stunning. Ian & Sianny's passion gifts and talents & loving hands for life, nature, & beauty & sharing it with others can be felt, experienced & seen in the accommodation, stunningly done, with attention to hospitality detail, and all around the property, gardens, around the dams in the woods, where the animals freely roam - AMAZING! . We were surprised and blessed every morning with a knock at the door to find a warn scrumptious freshly baked muffins from SIANNY (the host /owner) . 🤗 Felt so spoiled and blessed. Were able to be switch off, relax, walk, read, play board games, sit in the stoep and watch the horse, cows and birds whilst sipping tea and coffee.

Absolutely Beautiful, lots of bird life, game , lakes , hiking spots, fishing spots, and a beautifully furnished cottage style accommodation with great hosts .

The access (dirt) roads All Over the Dullstroom area are bad, drive slowly and be prepared for some clenched teeth driving, otherwise take a 4x4 or SUV. We were in a Mini and it’s not ideal. - the Local Council should pull up their socks !

Serenity

Nothing

The homeliness, great fishing dams and the fresh muffins. The pavlova was even better.

Nothing

Wonderful hospitality! The owners Sianny and Ian were great hosts, even got freshly baked muffins in the mornings and pavlova late afternoon! Great locality! Beautiful accommodation! Great flyfishing opportunities!

Nothing to dislike! Nothing in/on our world is perfect. So a 10/10 is not possible but a 9.9/10 is an under statement!

We absolutely loved our weekend at Kinloch. Sianny went out of her way to spoil us and Ian was more than willing to share his knowledge with us. And the fishing was incredible. The dams were well stocked and trout huge. Best fishing I have had in Dullstroom. Kids had a blast and enjoyed entertaining all the cats. And so much more to do and explore. We can’t wait to visit again. Thanks Ian and Sianny.

View superb. Quiet you can even hear the birds. Superb hostess.

Road off the main road not great. Fishing not good not close to chalet and road to get to fishing not great.

The personal touch was awesome. Made us feel so at home. The kindness and willingness to help and explain about the venue were top-notch.

Sianny is a wonderful host. The pictures don't do this lodge justice, it's spectacular. Beautiful mountain & dam views. Morning walks surrounded by trees. Spacious & peaceful for a family to enjoy. No TV so you have quality time around the fire with the kids. Comfortable beds too.

Loved the friendly and hearty welcome, it felt as if we're visiting friends. The unit was lovely, awesome fireplaces in the lounge and rooms, and the neatness was exceptional. Everything worked until a power failure occurred luckily then still had parrafin lamps to assist where required. Gas for the cooking and it was as if we did not need power after all. Afternoon walks in the forest and sunsets were fabulous. The closeness to town for a visit to markets and shops if needed. Overall - exceptional. Thanks to both Sianny and Ian, you made us feel at home.

The road after the rains defintely more suited to an off-road, a capable higher clearance SUV or 4x4 type vehicle. Not much else to not like.

We enjoyed the peace and serenity of the place together with the amazing hospitality from Sianny and Ian, just beautiful people.

Enjoyed the beautiful hosts and the amazing accommodation. Although rainy for most of our stay it was just what we needed. Amazing walks with deep and moving landscapes.

We loved it all!

There was nothing that we didn’t like.

serenity

nothing

Tastefully decorated and luxurious linen. The owners were exceptional, so welcoming and friendly, we even got a delicious freshly baked slice of cake. A lovely wood-burning fireplace that kept us super toasty all weekend. Stunning property and dams are nearby to fish from. Dullstroom is also only a short drive away.

A high-clearance vehicle/ 4x4 would be ideal, especially if it rains hard, it could get tricky, Unfortunately, our cottage didn't have a view, which would have just been a bonus but you can see the dam just outside the front door and a short stroll from the cottage there are benches at the dam.

The property is amazing and so are the owners - super quiet and peaceful - there wasn't any breakfast offered (self catering) and we absolutely loved staying there - We would love to go back!! Bed was super comfy and the room was well thought out and very well decorated!

Internet could be better - but then on the other hand ot was nice to completely unplug (At least I did)
