About Rainbow Lodge

Rainbow Lodge is a beautiful small farm in the heart of Mpumalanga only about 200km to 250km from Gauteng. Rainbow Lodge is an ideal getaway from the mad rush of the city for a day a weekend or for an extended period to recharge the batteries and get back to the real meaning of life.

The Lodge is also ideally located for someone exploring the area. We are within easy reach of most of Mpumalanga tourist attractions. We are situated near the very interesting small country town of Dullstroom which most fly fisherman will know. The Lodge has three dams of which two are well stocked with Rainbow Trout. There is also Black Bass in the dams.

There is also lots to do for the person not into fishing; the bird life is abundant and there is very nice walks around the dams and in the forest to enjoy the local wildlife and nature at its best.

The view and the informal extensive garden is also nice to explore. The yellow Arum Lilies which are native to this area only are also plentiful at Rainbow Lodge. The Lodge is also very easy to reach with a normal car as it is only 2.7 km off the tar and the gravel road is normally in good repair.
