Only 3 hours East of Johannesburg lies the province of the rising sun, Mpumalanga, and the hidden gem that is the luxury Nooitgedacht Trout Lodge; a place for refueling, reviving, and revitalizing the soul.
Nestled on a nature reserve in the heart of South Africa’s most captivating natural wilderness, the lodge offers a romantic getaway, a fly fishing paradise, an invigorating haven for a corporate brainstorm or strategy meeting, and a beautiful and intimate wedding venue.
Nooitgedacht Trout Lodge provides comfortable and stylish accommodation in 9 en-suite bedrooms that are luxuriously furnished with double beds and single beds. Some of the rooms are located by stairs and have cozy open log fireplaces, baths, and private entrances, all enjoying breathtaking views of the lake, garden, and surroundings.
The lodge offers hearty home-cooked meals that are prepared by dedicated chefs in a traditional open-plan kitchen and served in the congenial dining hall. The state-of-the-art wine cellar offers a wide range of white and red wines. Located under the dining area, it is definitely worthy of a visit.
The old dry-stone barn, previously the original farmhouse, has been renovated with modern facilities such as a full-size billiard table, Satellite Television, and a well-stocked bar. The lodge offers some of the finest trout water in the country; whether fishing the Spekboom River or in any of the three lakes, the waters are well stocked with trout to challenge both the most astute angler and the beginner alike.
Guests at Nooitgedacht Trout Lodge can enjoy a variety of activities such as hiking, clay pigeon shooting, horse riding, 4x4 trails, tours of the hatchery, picnics, and sailing. They can also marvel at soaring eagles, Cape Vultures, a wealth of indigenous flora, prolific bird life, and various game including leopard, kudu, otters, and the elusive brown hyena.
Nooitgedacht Trout Hatchery is a commercial trout-producing facility situated on the Spekboom river in the heart of the Mount Anderson Catchment Reserve. With over 50 years of operation, the hatchery is known for supplying South Africa's best quality trout to fishing venues. Nooitgedacht’s mission is to provide blemish-free, happy angling trout to venues which can in turn offer some of the best fishing opportunities to anglers.
