For the International traveler Forest Creek Lodge is an ideal place to relax and unwind after a long flight - a mere 130 km to the Kruger National Park, enjoy the treatments in the private Forest Spa, or just enjoy the tranquility of the bush. There is a private Airstrip 8 km from the farm, we provide transfers from the Airstrip to Forest Creek Lodge. At Forest Creek you will dine on a four-course d'hôte dinner served in our candle-lit dining room (Table d'hôte is a French phrase that literally means "host's table"), a choice of five-breakfast menus. We have a small menu for lunch. Weather permitting we will cook on the braai. For those who wish to hike lunch packs are available. For those who have special diets, we request that you inform us prior to your arrival. The water at Forest Creek comes from a spring, and we will be bottling our own Forest Creek spring water. Forest Creek boasts a huge fireplace. Weather permitting, you can enjoy your meals and drinks outside on the verandah overlooking the valley. TROUT FISHING We are situated half way down the Steenkampberg Mountain Range at an altitude ideally suited to the rapid growth of Rainbow trout. Our cold, clear perennial stream feeds the trophy dam in where these lovely fish abide in a truly beautiful setting. The dam is approximately a half hour walk from the lodge or can be reached by 4x4 vehicle, leaving a 5 minute walk. We practice catch and release of fish hooked. Should a fish be unable to be returned, the charge is R75 per Kilogram with a rod fee of R100 per day or part thereof. Bring your own tackle and don’t forget your camera! HIKING TRAILS One of our unique activities at Forest Creek are the Hiking Trails in the “Cloud Forest”. The trails are designed for the entire family, and are most suitable for the even not-so-fit person. Under this canopy of trees and at the edge of the Mountain one feels very small, in comparison to the magical views. The walk to the waterfall is approximately 2 kilometres, winding through the forest and criss-crossing the stream in several places under the canopy of large indigenous trees. One is likely to hear the baboons barking and spot the odd bush buck or red duiker and see the Cinnamon Doves, Narina Trogon's and Lourie's that frequent the forest. In the wetter months the ferns, orchids and wild mushrooms offer spectacular opportunities for the more photographic inclined. A tree platform built in a large fig tree above the forest canopy, is an ideal stop for birders or to just relax and enjoy a picnic! Scattered in the forest are remnants of old stone structures some of which are supposedly several thousand years old and are under study at present. The forest is beautiful, friendly and safe.Forest Creek Lodge - Mpumalanga Lydenburg Accommodation
