Bucklebury Cottage @ Rivendell Trout Estate is a charming self-catering cottage nestled amongst other units, located on the banks of the fast-flowing Spekboom River within the Rivendell Trout Estate. This estate is part of the Mount Anderson Water Catchment Reserve, a vast conservancy that spans thousands of hectares. The reserve is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including kudu, bushbuck, duiker, bush pigs, and baboons, which roam freely throughout the area. Visitors can often observe these animals grazing peacefully while they enjoy fly fishing for trout.

This cottage can accommodate 4 guests and comprises 2 en-suite bedrooms. The main bedroom is furnished with a king-size bed, while the second bedroom has 2 single beds. The en-suite bathrooms are fitted with a bath, shower, basin, and toilet. Linen and towels are provided.

The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge-freezer, stove, oven, microwave, cutlery, crockery, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. It extends to a lovely dining space and further opens to the lounge furnished with comfy couches and a cosy fireplace.

The unit opens up to a patio with outdoor furniture, perfect for alfresco dining. The comfy deck comes with wood and gas braai facilities and overlooks the trout pools in the river.

This property is situated en route to the Kruger National Park and is centrally located for day visits to destinations such as Dullstroom, Bourke's Luck Potholes, Sudwala Caves, and Pilgrim's Rest.

House rules
Please note that only fly fishing is allowed, strictly catch and release.
You are welcome to keep one trout per person per stay. Additional charges at R150 per kg. Please enquire about smoked trout/pate availability.

Fly rods are available to hire at R150 per day, and flies are available @ R15 each. Should rented equipment sustain any damage, an R1500 replacement fee is applicable, and damaged equipment becomes yours.

2 Sacks of firewood is included. Additional firewood is available at an additional cost. Please order additional wood with the housekeeper and leave cash for it in the envelope inside the guest book.

The cell signal is generally bad along the river. For a good signal drive back up the steep hill just after Bag End Cottage, and park at the top by the tall blue gum trees.

Wi-Fi is routed via an elaborate network of wireless links through the valley to your cottage, and is dependent on the local Vodacom tower function. This infrastructure unfortunately makes it costly to deliver, and can be purchased (R100 per Gig) upon login by credit card. Not yet available to Elvinbrook and Bucklebury cottages.
Some guests have had reasonable success with personal Wi-Fi / hotspot devices, and you’re most welcome to bring them along, but the signal strength in the valley fluctuates.

No pets are permitted.
No smoking inside the cottages.

Cottages are serviced daily in the mornings, should you prefer not to have your unit serviced, please advise us.
