There is something about a trip to Southern Drakensberg that feels otherworldly. Travellers from near and far, searching for a slice of heaven, find it at Lake St Bernard Trout and Game Farm. Tucked against towering mountains, this 68-hectare lake sits on a private livestock farm, renowned for its Rainbow and Brown trout fishing. With three beautiful cottages at the water’s edge, Lake St Bernard Trout and Game Farm offers a genuine farm experience without sacrificing comfort.
Unwind at Lake St Bernard
The Southern Drakensberg has often appealed to travellers eager to immerse themselves in the great outdoors. At Lake St Bernard, family and friends will find the perfect spot to unwind in a spectacular environment. The tranquil mountain setting appeals even to the most discerning outdoor enthusiasts, and it’s no wonder this is often called one of the most beautiful lakes in the country.
While fishing is the main attraction, the three beautiful self-catering cottages, each nestled at the water’s edge, make it easy for guests to extend their stay.
Named after the lake’s prized catch, the Rainbow Trout Cottage offers a luxury self-catering escape for up to seven guests in its three bedrooms. When staying in this cottage, guests can fish right off the private jetty or take the cottage’s private paddle boat out onto the water. The lounge opens onto an undercover braai area, perfect for slow evenings by the fire, with the scent of grilled meat and the mountains in the distance.
Featuring a Cromadek roof over original thatch, Reedbuck Rest Cottage, is loved for its homely, rustic, and warm feel. It features a loft bedroom that sleeps up to five guests comfortably, while the main bedroom sleeps two. With a Weber braai and a private paddle boat, the cottage invites guests to slow down.
Lake St Bernard Trout and Game Farm is home to abundant birdlife, and enthusiasts will find a haven at the Crowned Crane Cottage. This three-bedroom cottage is often a guest favourite for its sweeping views of the Gamp camp, St Bernard Lake, St Bernard Peak and the surrounding mountains.
