PEEBLES COUNTRY RETREAT
Hotel in Lydenburg

As the highest village in South Africa, situated at 2100m above sea level in the Steenkampsberg range, the town dates back to the early 1880’s, when Dutch settlers came to the area. Other major tributaries, like the Lunsklip, Klip River, Steelpoort and Elands River, do not only feed important rivers and marshlands, but have also become synonymous with some of the best trout fishing in the country. Foodies from all over flock to dine in some of the quirkiest, quaintest and bespoke restaurants the country has to offer.
