As the year winds down and the festive spirit begins to fill the air, Lowveld families are eagerly crafting their holiday plans. For those seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of travel, a staycation could be the perfect answer.

Sociably is on a mission to discover and explore the treasure trove of family staycation spots scattered across the Lowveld and have found some truly amazing places that promise an adventure just as enriching, if not more so, than a far-flung vacation escapade. Just this past weekend, Sociably’s Christelle grabbed her family and headed over to the picturesque Kingfisher Country Cottages and Trout Farm. Lowveld families, keep on reading, because this local gem offers an abundance of activities and amenities to ensure an unforgettable stay for the whole family!

At the Kingfisher Country Cottages & Trout Farm anglers of all ages and skill levels can cast their lines and experience the thrill of fly fishing for trout in a number of dams, while one designated dam welcomes fishing for other species. As the fly rod lines gracefully arc through the air, the gentle rhythm of the whooshing sound creates a harmonious melody that blends seamlessly with the tranquil surroundings.

In addition to fishing, this Lowveld gem offers a host of other activities for both adults and children. Take a refreshing dip in the heated swimming pool or relax on the poolside loungers, soaking up the sun and enjoying the peaceful ambiance. For the little ones, there is a playground equipped with fun and safe jungle gyms and trampolines, keeping them entertained for hours on end.

Now, let’s talk about accommodation because here you have plenty of options. If you’re a camper, you’ll appreciate the camping stands, each equipped with its own individual braai facilities, toilet, shower, and washing station. This ensures a private and comfortable camping experience.

For those seeking a bit more comfort, the self-catering chalets are an excellent choice. With options to accommodate 2, 4, or 6 guests, each chalet is appointed with all the necessary amenities needed for a relaxing stay. Some chalets are even wheelchair friendly and pet friendly! Prepare your meals in a well equipped kitchen, and savor them on the veranda while immersing yourself in the breathtaking views of the Mpumalanga escarpment.  

For a more traditional stay, the lodge also offers stable rooms with coffee stations. These cozy rooms are ideal for those desiring simplicity combined with comfort. After a day of exploration, unwind with a cup of coffee and revel in the tranquility that surrounds you.

Hospitality is undoubtedly one of the lodge’s greatest strengths. The warm and welcoming Catherine, alongside the owner Gary, and their dedicated team, ensure that guests feel at home right throughout their stay. When it comes to dining, Chef Tom will tantalize your taste buds with his culinary expertise. As trout fishing takes the lead, Tom is bound to conjure up a symphony of trout dishes that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you wanting more. 

In addition to the many already remarkable features found here, this exceptional destination also has a hiking trail and a magnificent waterfall located right on the property. Prepare to embark on an adventure where you can revel in the beauty of nature and discover hidden gems that will leave you in awe.
