Property Description:

Welcome to Lowestoffe Country Lodge.
Lowestoffe Country Lodge is secluded in the heart of the Elandsberg Mountains.   This pristine and exquisite setting, in the amphitheatre of the Hogsback area, forms the backdrop for family holidays or weekend getaways for those who want to appreciate country living at its very best.
Among the many activities available, Lowestoffe Country Lodge, specialise in Trout Fishing and Horse trail rides.   Their goal is to enhance family togetherness and relaxation - activities for which there can be no replacement!
Nestled within 5 500 hectares of spectacular countryside are three modern, self-catering lodges.   Each lodge is separate and very private as the privacy and comfort of their guests is paramount.
Lowestoffe Country Lodge is comprised of four farms - Lowestoffe, Rooken, Rockford and Woodhouselea.   This unique area of land also functions as a holistically managed sheep and cattle farm and is home to the first Appaloosa Sport Horse Stud in South Africa. At the Africa Appaloosa Sport Horse Stud the horses are bred for conformation, size, intelligence and the Olympic disciplines, out crossing with the Thoroughbred and the Warmblood.
Together with spectacular scenery, and crisp high country air this must surely be one of the finest, most affordable, family run country retreats offered in South Africa today.
AA Quality Assured

Accommodation:
Accommodation consists of three extremely private, comfortable houses. With no-nonsense décor and spaciousness this is home-from-home accommodation in every way. The gardens around each of the houses with their huge lawns and total privacy, make the invitation to relax and "chill out", all the more enticing.

You may even be fortunate to catch an early morning glimpse of the wildebeest frolicking just beyond the dam.

Great trustworthy horses both for beginners and experienced riders.

18km's of the Klipplaat river are also available to the fisherman. Delight in this beautiful stretch of water by fishing for trout or yellowfish, or just for the shear enjoyment of it. Peaceful, uninterrupted wild trout fishing at it's best - with all the comforts of home.
