Walkersons Hotel & Spa Dullstroom

Last year was a whirlwind of exciting local trips! One, in particular, that made quite an impression was a visit to Dullstroom, a small town in Mpumalanga province. Exploring a new area is always exciting, and Dullstroom has piqued my interest for quite some time. The base for our two-day trip was the enchanting Walkersons Hotel & Spa.

Walkersons Hotel & Spa

Our adventure began with an early morning flight from Cape Town to Johannesburg. The next leg of our journey was a three-hour drive to the peaceful haven of Walkersons Hotel & Spa.

Walkersons Hotel & Spa

This Dullstroom hotel has been captivating guests for over 20 years, with its country charm and warm hospitality, not to forget the stunning views, delicious food and modern comforts.

Walkersons Hotel & Spa

Walkersons exudes an air of old-world charm and serenity, reminiscent of a Scottish Highlands country manor. Interiors celebrate the estate’s surroundings, with natural textures of stone and wood throughout, and a nod towards traditional country-style decor. The 27 tastefully decorated guest suites are spacious and inviting, each boasting views of the picturesque countryside.

After an invigorating morning hike, spend your afternoons lazing about, poolside or book a pampering treatment at the hotel’s on-site Spa. Walkersons Spa has three treatment rooms, as well as a steam room.

The Rooms

There is also a Family Suite, which has two bedrooms, a central lounge area and a fully-equipped kitchen. In addition, there is an upstairs children’s loft, with two single beds and an en-suite bathroom.

Afternoon Tea

Afternoon Tea at Walkersons has become a popular Dullstroom tradition, particularly for their famous scones. This indulgence is available to hotel guests and day visitors alike.

Before dinner, pop into Peggy’s Bar, a cosy spot to chat about your day’s exploits and enjoy a pre-dinner G&T.

The Flying Scotsman Restaurant

Be sure to work up an appetite before settling in at the Flying Scotsman for a lavish four-course dinner. Menu favourites include roast duck with black cherry sauce and a trio of trout. The restaurant also caters for Halaal and vegetarian diners.

Things To Do

Dullstroom Fly Fishing
  • Dullstroom, renowned as the fly fishing capital of South Africa, offers visitors an array of fully-stocked dams and lakes. Walkersons Estate boasts 14 of these dams and lakes, filled with rainbow trout. Guests will be happy to know that guides are on hand to help teach you the art of fly fishing.
Dullstroom Riding Centre
  • Explore the surrounds by horseback, on one of the trusty steeds from the Dullstroom Riding Centre, run by Dave Curtis.
Walkersons Estate
  • The 800-hectare Walkersons Estate offers the perfect opportunity for hiking enthusiasts to wind their way up into the mountain reserve while taking in the magnificent vistas. There is also a chance you will spot wildlife on your travails, which may include Impala, Zebra, Blue Wildebeest and Blesbok.
Zebra
  • Enjoy a Picnic basket at the waterfall, stocked with a selection of the chef’s delights, while sipping on a glass or two of perfectly chilled bubbly.
Dining at Walkersons
Dining at Walkersons
  • The Wild About Whisky Bar, situated in town, boasts the most extensive whisky menu in the Southern Hemisphere. Whisky tastings are a casual affair to be enjoyed by novices and connoisseurs alike. Made up of 4 to 6 half-tots of various whiskies, tastings aim to showcase the best of a particular category or style of whisky.
Harrie's Pancakes
  • Last but not least, a visit to Harrie’s Pancakes is a must. Whether you have a sweet tooth or are craving something savoury, Harrie’s has you covered. I am quite a plain Jane when it comes to pancake toppings and love nothing more than the simple combination of cinnamon sugar, lemon juice and a drizzle of syrup. If you like something a bit more indulgent, try their fillings such as Milk Tart Custard or Banana & Caramel Sauce.
