Set at the foot of Nelshoogte Pass, the colonial-style Dawson's Lodge offers spa facilities, spectacular panoramic mountain views and a relaxing retreat. It also offers an outdoor swimming pool and a large garden.
Guests at the Dawson can spot wildlife such as zebras, giraffes and native cows roaming the area, which is also full of permanent waterways and trout-filled waterfalls, ideal for fishing.
The rooms at Dawsons Game & Trout Farm Lodge are creatively decorated in bright colours and luxurious materials, and feature a fireplace and tea and coffee making facilities.
After enjoying a relaxing massage, guests can enjoy traditional Mpumalanga provincial food outdoors or in the lodge's restaurant, which can also arrange a romantic candlelit dinner.
