What a wonderful Easter weekend. Firstly the fact the farm only has 2 cabins on the premises is a bonus! We had privacy as well as spectacular views. It felt like home. The Lodge Manager Eddie was so accommodating and friendly. Both rooms were exactly the same, each having their own bathroom with a bath and shower. We did not need to worry to clean the place as a domestic worker came in everyday. The Beds were King Size and so comfortable. Fernbak is only a 30 min drive from Dullstroom. Very Peaceful as you can hear the river flowing outside the veranda. I rate this place definitely a 5 star and we will most certainly make this our new getaway place.

We've just come back from spending a weekend here. Log cabins were absolutely gorgeous - spacious two bedroomed units both en-suite. Which you can book as a couple or more. There is a fireplace in the open plan lounge/dining/kitchen area. Heaters in the rooms and electric blankets on the beds. Everything in the cabin is top class - down feather duvets, extra large bed, amazing linen. Kitchen is fully equipped for everything you need. Cabins are serviced daily. Trout dams are within walking distance from the cabins, even though it was rather windy the weekend we were there my husband thoroughly enjoyed the fly-fishing.
Will definitely be returning!

We needed some accommodation for a night for a wedding we were attending in Dullstroom area.
We booked into Fernbank Farm and were extremely surprised at how beautiful the setting was.
The log cabin we stayed in was spectacular.
The cabin has all the amenities you would require, and is exceptionally clean & neat.
The cabin overlooks a small stream which feeds into a fresh water dam where you could even go trout fishing if you wanted.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of the area.

I can honestly say that this is somewhere you need to try out
5/5 for me !!
