About Little Troutbeck

Boasting a magnificent view over the Elands River Valley and offering self catering accommodation, Little Troutbeck is a 209ha working farm set 1900m above sea level in the mist belt of Belfast, 19km from Dullstroom. There are eleven dams with a stream running through them.

All water is sourced from springs on the farm (28 in a good year) and the water is crystal clear. Rainbow, golden and brown trout are stocked.
