The unit was perfect.We had a fantastic time
Unfortunately the wood for hot tub and barbecue was extremely wet
TimSouth AfricaStunning location & beautifully appointed house didn't make up for the neglect. Disappointing!
Stunning location
Property seemed to be in a state of neglect.
Scruffy surroundings. Debris lying around the property. Abandoned generator behind the building. Equipment littered the area around the tub
Simple things…
VanessaSouth AfricaWe loved every minute of our stay. The cottage is well stocked and we had everything we needed. Mostly, the river was
The isolation and location next to the river is spectacular!
The hot tub is rusty and has no seating inside.
KristelleSouth AfricaIt was very relaxing and a wonderful way to unplug and reconnect with nature and loved ones.
What a beautiful location. The river was spectacular and the views amazing. We saw a lot of wildlife; lizards, spiders, buck, fish and even some wild cat (possibly Caracal) and baboon spoor.
The property gets pretty hot…

Questions about The Trout Pod
What time is check-in and check-out at The Trout Pod?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Trout Pod allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Trout Pod?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does The Trout Pod have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Does The Trout Pod have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book The Trout Pod?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
