AVAILABLE FACILITIES

Self-Catering, Well Stocked, Deep in the Reserve

Highland Run is not a resort with a reception desk and a room-service menu, and that is the whole point of coming. What it has instead is two cottages kitted out well enough that a group can settle in for a week, a river running through the property, and a reserve to walk into when the fishing is done. Bring the food and the charcoal, and the rest is here.

Spekboom River

The Spekboom is one of the few streams in South Africa where trout breed freely. Both banks offer varied fishing for five kilometres, in a series of rapids, riffles, runs, glides and pools. At the height of summer it runs full and fast, and through the drier months it turns gin clear.

Relax & Revive

Braai Facilities

Both cottages have braai facilities, and iNsomi House has an indoor braai as well as an outdoor one. Firewood is supplied for the fires and guests bring their own charcoal and firelighters. The furnished patio outside each cottage is where most evenings end up.

Restaurant

Firewood

Firewood is supplied so you can enjoy evening fires in the heart of the beautiful Spekboom Valley, indoors at the fireplace or outside at the braai. Guests bring their own charcoal if they need it, and wood for the hot tub can be bought on the property.

Relax & Revive

Self-Catering Kitchens

Each cottage has a fully equipped kitchen opening onto the dining and lounge area, with a stove and oven, microwave, fridge and freezer, cutlery, crockery and detergents. Highland Run has no shop or restaurant, so bring your groceries and your own drinking water.

Where You Sleep After the River

One cottage takes up to ten guests and the other up to eight, both fully equipped and both a short walk from the bank.
