Where the Highlands
Meet the Water

A private trout farm 5 minutes from Dullstroom — four stone villas, six stocked dams, and complete seclusion.

The Farm

A highland estate built around water

Tucked away in the rolling highlands just before Highland Gate Golf Estate, Balteagh offers an unforgettable countryside escape in one of South Africa’s most beloved fly-fishing destinations.

Surrounded by misty hills, flowing streams, tranquil dams, and roaming wildlife, the farm blends luxury comfort with authentic highland tranquillity. Whether you’re visiting for world-class trout fishing, a peaceful weekend in nature, or a family getaway, our four private homes offer space, privacy, and breathtaking views across the property.

With four dams, a natural waterfall, roaming buck and Black Wildebeest, and uninterrupted views of the Dullstroom highlands, every stay here feels deeply connected to nature.

GUEST REVIEWS

What guests are saying

~ Mark & Leah
"The hot tub above the waterfall was unlike anything we've experienced. We arrived for a weekend and stayed an extra night. The fishing alone is worth the trip."
~ The Venter Family
"Complete privacy, stunning views, proper fireplaces. The kids loved the wildlife on the farm. We'll be back with the extended family for a multi-villa booking."
~ Sean O.
"Woke up to mist over the dam, fished until noon, braai'd at Braailand. That's the perfect Dullstroom day. The stone villa felt like it belonged in the landscape."
