Activities and Attractions
The farm boasts two beautiful dams where guests can enjoy fly fishing. Our larger dam is an impressive 9 hectares in size and has several jetties to make your fly-fishing experience an even more enjoyable one. Both dams are stocked with rainbow and brown trout.
Bird watching is also a very popular activity on the farm due to the big variety of land and water bird species that can be seen. Endangered bird species such as the Crowned Crane and Blue Crane can also be spotted on a regular basis. We have a Blue Crane breeding pair that nests on one of the islands in the big dam once a year.
The venue offers beautiful scenery with free roaming game species such as fallow deer, springbuck, blesbuck, zebra, hartebeest and vaal rhebuck.
We offer all our guest the opportunity to enjoy nature by hiking on the farm. The farm border is approximately 6km if a circular route is taken. There are a number of interlinked farm roads over the hill that is lovely for hiking, cycling or jogging.
Taking a stroll around the big dam will be close to 1.5km-2km. The difficulty would be easy, all walks are on well kept paths with no climbing involved.
Location
Blue Crane Farm is situated approximately 10mins drive from the charming village of Dullstroom and is easily accessible from the R540, the main road between Belfast and Dullstroom. There are numerous excellent restaurants, shops, craft-beer brewery, whiskey, wine, and gin tasting, and cozy pubs that all form part of this popular tourist destination.
Other nearby attractions include golf at the famous Ernie Els designed, Highland Gate Golf & Trout Estate - approximately 25mins drive via the beautiful Kruisfontein Road, the Bird of Prey Center, mountain biking and horse riding.
The gravel road leading from the main road to the entrance of Blue Crane Farm is only 900m long and well maintained. Any low clearance vehicles can access these roads with ease.
