Winter is just around the corner!
Imagine spending your days hiking and exploring the area around Underberg in the Southern KZN Drakensberg, followed by a cosy evening with loved ones in an off grid wooden cabin complete with indoor wood burning stove, big comfy beds and only the sounds of Nature at night to disturb your peace.
Pre-order a picnic hamper and head on down to our beautiful picnic spot right on the banks of the Mzimkulu River, where you may spot an array of bird life, an otter, reed buck or even bushpig.
Visit the local mission which boasts a traditional stone ground mill and a church, or pop in to the Himeville Fort and Museum.
Stop at one of the local eateries for fresh, locally sourced lunch and dinner menu items that will leave you feeling healthy, happy and ready for your next adventure. Take a drive up the Sani Pass road or along the Drakensberg Gardens road and find yourself gazing at stunning views.
Or just chill on your covered deck and read a book, take in the fresh air and recharge your soul.
Tin Can Trout Farm is not just any guest farm, it is the perfect space to relax and take stock of yourself.

What does "off-grid" accommodation mean to you?
Well, at Tin Can Trout Farm, we believe it means no ESKOM, no wifi or DSTV, no hair driers and curling irons... just the calming sounds of nature, of cows lowing in their field across the river, of water plunging over rapids on an eternal quest for adventure, of birds, and bees, horses and the happy laughter of rural children at play.
Being "off-grid" means solar lighting, it means nightly braais and blissful gas heated showers.
It means reconnecting and letting go of the stresses of modern living.
Our self catering, rustic cabins are furnished with comfortablle beds and offer gorgeous river and farm views.
Close enough to Underberg for visits to shops, rextaurants and bars, far enough away that you feel lost in nature.
Tin Can Trout Farm is set on the banks of the Mzimkulu River which offers fantastic flyfishing and swimming spots.

It's a rather chilly 3°c at Tin Can Trout Farm today, but that's no problem because our cosy units have wood stoves and extra thick and snuggly blankets to keep our guests warm.
We wouldn't suggest a swim in the river today, but on sunnier days the water is beautifully clear and the riverside picnic spot is perfect for lazy family get togethers. The trout are biting, so don't forget to bring your fly tackle!
The Sani Stagger is coming up soon and our twin cabins (there are 4 of these) offer the perfect solution to affordable self catering accommodation for team mates looking for a base for the weekend.
