Total relaxation.

Our stay at Otters Rest @ Dondini Trout Farm was amazing. Loved the tranquility, the family had fun in the Little Mooi. Dams are wonderful and clean, however not many fish came out. Would highly recommend this place. Unfortunately the road to Dondini was a nightmare.

Beautiful family hideaway.

We had a delightful few days at Otters Rest @ Dondini Trout Farm with family. It was our second stay and we will definitely go again.

Beautiful surroundings and a very peaceful environment around the cottage.

It met all our expectations, and the interactions with the manager and owner were always courteous and pleasant, and they were most concerned to be helpful.

Beautiful location with well appointed unit.

The only thing that was disappointing was the fishing. Not even a nibble in 3 days!

Very relaxed family holiday in a great setting.

Great fishing. A forest to explore in with the kids. 3-minute drive to Highmoore which is beautiful.

Picturesque, peaceful mountain getaway.

We love this part of KZN and spend as much time as we can here. This cottage is in a small group of cottages, the fly fishing is great and the area is peaceful and quiet.

Magical. Wonderful. Tranquil.

The house is well equipped with everything you need. We loved the sliding doors that opens up the dinning area and when it is closed, you still had the view. I love the layout of the house and the fact that every room has it's own en-suite bathroom.

Peaceful, special time away with family.

Our stay at Otters Rest was so lovely. It's a really special place and we didn't want to leave! The house has everything you need and more! Beautiful decor throughout all the rooms - and super spacious. The property is well looked after and the views are breathtaking! We loved our morning walks and kids enjoyed feeding the horses. Would love to come try it out during summer. Thank you to Sue and Vincent for a wonderful weekend away.

Pragtige verblyf.

Otters rest was baie netjies en skoon. Die ligging was pragtig en stil. Goeie kommunikasie vanaf Sue. Ons het ons kuier deeglik geniet met kleinkinders en vriende.

A fabulous weekend away!

Otter's Den is a perfect place for a family get together. It is safe for children to go swimming and riding their bikes. The accommodation is well appointed for large families.

Highly recommend Dondini, beautiful location, spacious comfortable family chalet!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dondini! A fisherman's dream with well-stocked trout dams on your doorstep. The location is perfect with Highmoor hiking just up the road and beautiful views and surroundings from the Dondini property. Can't wait to return! Thank you Sue for sharing your lovely space with us!

Stil. Beeldskoon. Natuur. Skoon. Veilig. Afgeleë. Besonders gemaklik.

Otters Rest @ Dondini Trout Farm is 'n juweel. Dit is beeldskoon en na aan die natuur. Boonop is dit stil en baie netjies en goed beplan. Die pad soontoe is vol slaggate en mens moet suutjies ry maar as jy eers op die plaas is wil jy nie weer ry nie. Daar is gelukkig baie om te doen, of as jy verkies, niks om te doen nie. Die Natallers weet om jou welkom te laat voel. Daar is Blitz, houtskool en hout reg vir kuier. Koekies in die kas en ysblokkies in die yskas. Die plaas self bied ure se genot met baie riviere, swemgate en staproetes. Die beste deel is die ligging naby aan Highmoor. Die park is ongerep en stil en bied fantastiese staproetes vir alle ouderdomme. En die uitsigte van die park is 'n moet.

Quiet. Beautiful. Nature. Clean. Safe. Distant. Particularly comfortable.

Otters Rest @ Dondini Trout Farm is a gem. It is picturesque and close to nature. Moreover, it is quiet and very neat and well planned. The road there is full of potholes and you have to drive hard, but once you're on the farm you don't want to drive again. Fortunately, there is plenty to do, or if you prefer, nothing to do. The Natallers know how to make you feel welcome. There is Blitz, charcoal and wood ready for a visit. Cookies in the cupboard and ice cubes in the fridge. The farm itself offers hours of enjoyment with many rivers, swimming holes and hiking trails. The best part is the location close to Highmoor. The park is unspoilt and quiet and offers fantastic walks for all ages. And the views of the park are a must.
