Hidden mountain gem.

The Trout Pod is a fantastic hidden gem deep in the Groot Winterhoek mountains. The location is perfect to get away from all the noise, and when you're sitting on the deck, it seems like there is no one for miles around. The pod itself is modern, well-furnished, and very comfortable. All necessary amenities are provided, and the pod is well-maintained. The views from the deck over the river below are great, and you can just sit back and listen to the water while staring at the mountains across from you. The river provides good fly-fishing and a unique opportunity to catch brown trout on dry fly, which is not common in the Cape. The only advice I would give to anyone is to make sure you bring everything you need in terms of groceries; there is no quick outing to the shops, which are 40 minutes away in Prince Alfred Hamlet.

Peaceful and remote.

The Trout Pod is a phenomenal accommodation if you want to get away from it all. It is extremely well equipped and has everything you need. The setting is amazing with generous views of the mountain and Olifants River.

Heerlike rus en ontspanning sonder die steurnis van selfone en TV - pragtige ligging.

Die plek is pragtig geleë op die oewer van die Olifantsrivier. Dit is totaal "off the grid", dus kan 'n mens heerlik ontspan. Heerlike staproetes af na die rivier en in die omliggende omgewing.

Great rest and relaxation without the distraction of cell phones and TV - beautiful location.

The place is beautifully situated on the banks of the Olifants River. It is totally "off the grid", so one can relax wonderfully. Lovely walks down to the river and in the surrounding area.
