Chalet very nice and clean, unfortunately the lawn in front of the Chalet is full of cigarette butts and dog waste which the people who were there before do not pick up. I don't understand how people behave, please think. to the people who use the premises after you.

I don't know much about 'fly fishing' - I buy my fish from the supermarket. But if you like a nice fire in the winter, and a beautiful view from your bedroom, then this place is for you.

Dear Mr Human
We are very sorry to hear about you uncomfort. 98% of our guests love the trains passing by and we have (as new owners) for 9 months not received any complaints regarding the train. We have no control over this however I will make sure that we mention this on our website to inform future guests that there are trains passing by during the night and day. Our CLOUD cottage as u might have seen is far up the hill and will offer u a weekend there should u want to come back to this beautiful area again.

I will go back again and stay here by myself. Kitchen needs a little more stuff but you can get by without it, maybe you need a covered grill - it can rain a lot there.

We had a great stay at Schaefer's Halt! Trevor and Shanon are a wonderful, homely host and wife and really care about your comfort. The unit was well furnished with a few "personal touches". Most beautiful view of the hills. It was also so nice to be able to take our four-legged children with us. The fish ponds are well stocked and the site has nice walking trails.

Quiet and cozy place with beautiful natural scenes.
We stayed in "The Snug". It was a very nice, private place for the first two days of honeymoon. The layout of the cottage is very cozy and comfortable. There was even wood to braai with. It's a long way from any town, which means that you have to bring everything you need in advance, such as food. There are also no places to eat or other attractions in the area and there is a train track nearby with about three or four trains a day passing by. It was nice to sit next to the pond in the mornings and look at the little fish and there are also fish that you can catch and fry. There is a path up the hill with a nice view and a pine forest where we had a nice walk. Thank you for the nice stay.

It was lovely, will recommend to everyone. The place is very neat and clean and there's everything you need. We were a bit disappointed because we didn't have a little dam in front of the house, because on the photos it looked like you'd look out over the dam. But other than that, we can't really complain about anything. We will stay there again.

My wife and I with our two children in their twenties really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. There is a lot of walking space if you wanted to do it and the nature is beautiful. Neat living unit with enough space for a reasonable visit. Only thing that bothered was the road noise which is a bit close.

Schaefer's Halt is a beautiful, scenic place where you can breathe again.
We slept in the Snug, which is a cosy, earthy and welcoming place with a beautiful view of two of the ponds on the farm, as well as the hills of the Hoogland Kronkeling. It offers excellent value for money and rest for your soul. Our only hiccups were that the Snug is a little close to the main road and railway, so the environment is not 100% noise free. Also, it's a bit far to drive out of town and the road at night is a bit dark and dangerous to drive. Despite these shortcomings, we had a good time and were well rested. Next time I'll bring a fishing rod, because Schaefer's Halt is definitely a fisherman's (or woman's) dream.

Lovely place!
I took my sons (6,9,11) and their nephew (12) to Schaefers Halt for some great fly fishing. There are 3 lovely large ponds and the children could enjoy them and it is very safe. What I liked is that "catch and release" is allowed (or you can keep the fish), which makes it the ideal place. They are located about 27 km from Dullstroom, so it's very easy to spend the morning in Dullstroom and eat deliciously. However, the cottage is fully equipped to be self-catering and we had a lovely fire and cooked food on the veranda to appreciate the sunset. The only downside is that it is quite close to the busy road and you can hear and see the traffic. However, the place is really value for money and would definitely recommend it and spend time there again. Many thanks to Trevor and Sharon for their wonderful hospitality! Go enjoy Shaefers' Halt!

You don't often find accommodation that is beter and looks beter in the "real life" than the pictures. But with Schaefers' Halt this is the case. The units are beautiful, fully-equipped and provides everything you need for a weekend getaway in Dullstroom. We want to go back in summer to enjoy the dams! Please note that the unit is only serviced by prior arrangement - next time we will plan a bit better in this regard.

Nice braai, nice warm night's sleep with the fireplace and enough wood for both. Unfortunately the matress was a bit worn in.
