OverviewRooms/RatesArea/MapReviews (33)
Guest Lodge rates include a delectable five course dinner and hearty breakfast. The thatch and stone lodge has recently been refurbished with several suites, all with beautiful views of the surrounding pine forests. Rooms, all en-suite, have their own private patio, perfect for "feet up" early morning cuppa’s. For those requiring self-catering, a fully equipped, 2+2 sleeper, family cottage is available. A 3 Bedroom Log Cabin sleeps 6 & our Eco Fiisherman’s cottage, which sleeps up to eight, offers a more rustic self-catering option. It is secluded at the edge of property, at the trout dams & raceways, and is ideal for group fishing trips. The farm is a full working "trout-farm", comprising of a processing area, hatchery, nursery, raceways and naturally, for the enthusiastic fly fisherman-two stocked dams. Limited stream fishing is also available for the more experienced fisherman. Private fly fishing lessons and group clinics can be arranged on site.
After a days fishing one can enjoy a drink at the bar, have a game of pool or darts then unwind in the sauna or swimming pool. Of course should it be chilly one can warm up around roaring log fires in the lounge. The lodge is just the place for a fishing vacation or weekend getaway, but any nature lover will find themselves in a proverbial paradise.
For the sedentary tourist, relaxing on the wooden decked patio watching the abundant birdlife is a must. The Sabie area is truly a birders paradise. Not only is there a huge variety of the more common bird species, but a number of globally and nationally threatened species also occur in the area. For those in need of exercise, on farm trails and walks to the nearby waterfalls and caves are just as enjoyable but should you require additional stimulation clay-pigeon shooting can be organized on site.
Arrangements can be made for Quad Bike tours, horse riding, gorge-swinging, rafting & many more activities.
The aborigine word for home is "Gunya". The name of our guest lodge is Gunyatoo, embedded in our name is our philosophy and commitment to our guests – "Our home is your home". Come and stay with us a while and it can be your Gunya-too!

Local area description
Die gebied het baie history en is geleë tussen die berge en plantasies. Die pad na Gunyatoo is redelik en kan per normale voertuig bereik word. Daar is lekker uitdagende bergfietsryroetes, van hulle nie vir die beginners nie. Jy kan ook die staproetes doen en ook ‘n vis of twee vang.

Ons het in die houthuis gebly en die trappe is nie met ‘n kleinding aan te beveel nie. Alles wat nodig was in die huis. Onderhoud sal binnekort gedoen moet word op die huis. Die ligging is pragtig, maar ek sal nie die plek aanbeveel as jy ernstig forel wil hengel nie. Die beskrywing lees as werkende forelteelplaas. Die foreltelery is lankal nie meer werkend nie. Dus neem ek aan die damme is lanklaas gestock met forel. Ek sal die lodge aanbeveel vir ‘n gewone wegkomnaweek en moenie gesien word as hengelparadys nie.

Die plaas is ‘n ontsnapping vir die gewone reisiger. Die gasvrou en heer was vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die kos was uit die boeke en detail het in elke ete gegaan. Definitief ‘n plek wat ek sal aanbeveel as jy rus vir die siel soek en die lekkerste kos in die kontrei wil eet.

Ons het in die Fishermans Cottage gebly en dit is sonder krag, maar baie gemaklik. Ons sal wel aanbeveel dat hulle die breekware vervang omdat dit ‘chipped’ is en dat hulle ‘n nuwe tafeldoek kry vir binnekant aangesien die een wat daar was vreeslik gevlek is. Andersins is dit heerlik gewees om eenkant te wees. Daar was genoeg vuurmaakhout, die donkie is betyds warm gewees en maak baie warm water. Die buitestort is heerlik, selfs in die winter toe ons daar was. Die kinders het dit geniet om die bospaadjies te loop en die stroompies te kyk en vry te wees.

Ons het een aand oornag op pad terug Pretoria toe. Gunyatoo Trout Farm was ‘n wonderlike keuse. Die huis waarin ons gebly het is baie volledig toegerus met selfs warmsakke, verwarmer, kaggel, marshmallows en sjokolade. Ons sal dit beslis aanbeveel en met ons volgende stop sal ons die ontbyt bespreek.

We really enjoyed our stay in the self-catering cottage at Gunyatoo Trout Farm. Our arrival was well prepared (there were even fresh flowers in the cottage to welcome us!). I would definitely recommend a stay at this location if you like to be away from the crowds and to relax.

Ons was op ‘n 3-dag motorfiets toer en na ‘n lang dag het jy ‘n goeie bed en kos nodig en dit was presies wat ons gekry het. Mense was gasvry, ons het onmiddellik tuis gevoel en kon ons skoene uitskop en ‘n drankie geniet op ons eie privaat stoep met ‘n uitsig. Die beste deel van Gunyatoo is die 5-gang maal aandete … onverbeterlik! En net so ‘n stewig ontbyt. Waarde vir geld in hoofletters!

Ons het net vir 2 aande daar geslaap maar wens ons kon langer bly. Die omgewing is skoon en stil en mens voel een met die natuur. Die vrou wat ons verwelkom het was baie vriendelik en ons kon haar raad vra oor enige iets. Sy was selfs bereid om ‘n stappie verder te gaan en vir die groep van ons aandete te maak, selfs al is dit nie eers deel van hulle besigheid nie. Ek sal verseker weer daar gaan bly in die vervolg.

Fishermans Cottage is ten volle toegerus met alles wat nodig is. Die pad af tot by die kothuis was bietjie rof vir gewone karre, maar hoër SUV-voertuie het geen probleem. Die atmosfeer is fantasties en dit is lekker ver van ander besoekers se loerende ogies en ore. Lekker privaat!

Ons het ons naweek terdeë geniet. Die kaggels het altyd gebrand en daar is nie ‘n tekort aan vuurmaakhout nie. Die eienaars (Debbie en Bob) het ons tuis laat voel en het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons behoeftes te bevredig.

We had a nice stay. We were only disappointed about not being able to go to the caves which were situated on the farm, as there was no tour guide available; also horse riding trails are not on the farm but located in Sabie. Fishing was good and placed was very pleasant to stay in. Dirt road was a bit of a put off.
