Description

Set on a cliff in the Witzenberg area, overlooking the Olifants River, this amazing off-the-grid Trout Pod offers fly fishermen the dream destination to fish for brown trout in the Western Cape.

This solar-powered cottage can accommodate up to 4 guests and comprises 2 en-suite bedrooms. Each bedroom is comfortably furnished with a double bed, and the bathrooms are fitted with a shower, toilet, and wash basin. The toilets run on a septic tank system, and hot water is provided by a gas geyser. Linen, bath towels, and soaps are provided; however, guests are required to bring their own swimming towels.

The open-plan living area features a well-equipped kitchen with a gas stove, oven, microwave, fridge, cutlery, and crockery, as well as tea- and coffee-making facilities. Guests can relax in the cosy lounge area that opens onto the patio with a built-in braai, outdoor seating and a wood-fired hot tub overlooking the lovely surroundings.

The cottage is designed to blend in with the surroundings, away from the busy city, and is not equipped with a TV, Wi-Fi, or mobile phone signal. Guests can cool down in the natural pool next to the river and are welcome to do some catch-and-release fly fishing or even some bird watching.
