Elands Valley - Strawberry Fields  

Set in Mpumalanga’s countryside between Machadodorp and Dullstroom, this pairing of a laid-back hotel and a rural cottage puts you close to Dullstroom Bird of Prey & Rehabilitation Centre, Wild About Whiskey, Dullstroom Nature Reserve and the baKoni Ruins. The hotel is about 18 km from Machadodorp’s centre.

Stay in a cozy cottage with a fireplace, LED TV and satellite channels, plus a full kitchen (fridge/freezer, oven, stovetop), a desk and a separate sitting area with daily housekeeping. The hotel rooms are simple and practical with in-room showers and TVs. Garden views and rustic, country-style touches keep the vibe relaxed and unfussy.

Fire up the barbecue—there are barbecue grills and a barbeque area for outdoor evenings. Free self-parking and an onsite parking zone make it easy for road trippers. Enjoy garden-facing mornings and a kitchen-ready cottage for home-cooked meals while you explore the region.
