Dwarsberg Trout Hideaway

Dwarsberg Trout Hideaway is a working farm and outdoor retreat near Rawsonville in the Breedekloof region, set in the Stettynskloof Valley roughly two hours from Cape Town.

Campsites sit on the banks of the Holsloot River, with several sites offering private ablution facilities, warm water, and electricity.

Self-catering cottages are also available, most nestled among oak trees beside the river, along with newer pod houses overlooking the vineyards and mountains. The property is well regarded as a dry-fly fishing destination.

The trout in the Holsloot River are wild, with no stocking — descendants of fish introduced in the 1890s — and typically run 10 to 16 inches, making light tackle the practical choice.

Beyond fishing, the venue caters to weddings, functions, and family getaways. Pets are not permitted, as Dwarsberg remains an active working farm.
