| Description | Five Assegais Country Estate is situated just three hours from Johannesburg, exactly 275 kilometres from Hyde Park Corner, halfway to the Kruger Park, between Machadodorp and Badplaas. The estate straddles the Skurweberg on the very lip of the mighty African Escarpment with vast views over the Komati River valley all the way to Swaziland. This spectacular estate is over 1250 hectares in extent, featuring a wide variety of terrain, from the ancient grasslands to Yellow wood forests, with a multitude of springs feeding into the Bankspruit, Elands and Komati rivers the farm is a kaleidoscope of waterfalls and streams, with VIEWS, VIEWS, VIEWS.
Five Assegais Country Estate first opened the guesthouse in 2003 and has since established an enviable reputation as a fishing and wildlife venue of note and as desirable luxury country retreat half way to the Kruger Park. The lodge offers a single very private and exclusive luxury country house, with 4 double bed rooms en-suite and a kid’s room for the discerning lover of country life. The estate renovated and extended the original building that was built in the 1850’s and was established in this spot with a small dam on the then main route to the then newly discovered gold fields in Barberton as an ‘Uitspan Plek / Resting Place’ for the wagon trains that were bringing the people and material to exploit the gold rush. Situated at the top of the infamous ‘Hells Kloof Pass’ this resting place was a welcome respite after the arduous 400 meter climb from the base of the Komati Valley up to the peak of the escarpment and many famous people are reputed to have enjoyed this oasis among the rocks of the Skurwerand, from Paul Kruger to Jock of the Bush veldt. Five Assegais Fishing Lodge The Five Assegais Fishing Lodge is a very cute old stone home from the turn of the century, nestled in a protective valley overlooking large dams. Graded 4 star by the TGCSA and AA Highly recommended, the lodge offers an intimate country house atmosphere, which is exclusive and private. The open plan sitting, dinning and kitchen area is perfect for both catered and self catering guests. The kitchen is fully equipped and there is the full bouquet of DSTV. The house has 3 double bedrooms en-suite and a fourth bedroom also en-suite with two single beds sleeping 8 altogether. All beds are equipped with electric blankets and fab linen and loads of soft cushions to ensure a duvet wilderness experience. The lodge is the epitome of 4 star comfy, shabby chic luxuries where one can set aside the troubles of the world. |
