Schaefers' Halt

 
 

Description

Take a step back into a bygone era with a stay at Schaefers' Halt's historic cottages, self-catering accommodation for stressed city dwellers looking for an authentic country experience. The property is located in the Dullstroom countryside and is a nature lover's retreat. The accommodation consists of four cottages. Schaefer's Halt also offers a country wedding and function venue.

The nearby, quaint town of Dullstroom gives a glimpse into village life with its high street shopping, many restaurants and pubs. Treat yourself to a horse riding trip and then a session at the beauty therapy salon.

Schaefers' Halt is close enough to take a day trip to the many tourist attractions in the area, and is a stopover to the 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 best be appreciated on a tour.

Art courses are held on this scenic property and the more adventurous can try fly-fishing in the three well-stocked small ponds, as well as river fishing. Birdwatching, walking, hiking and mountain biking can all be enjoyed on this farm which boasts stunning views, waterfalls, birds and wild flowers.

The Barn at Schaefers' Halt is an affordable wedding and function venue seating up to 150 guests. Your function can be tailored to your budget.

Check-In  01:00 PM   Check-Out 10:00 AM

Wedding Venues: This Dullstroom wedding venue is dedicated to the exclusive use of the wedding party for a weekend or two night midweek wedding package.

Pets Permitted: Pets welcome in Wind Song and Cloud units.
