Hoyo Hoyo Machado Stud Lodge

Machado Stud Lodge is a self-catering cattle farm and fishing lodge located in the mountainous eastern highlands of Mpumalanga, approximately 20 kilometers from Machadodorp. It offers panoramic views and is home to resident ducks, geese, turkeys, and peacocks, making it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts. The rustic resort features three fully equipped, self-catering cottages that can accommodate groups ranging from two to twelve guests, catering to both romantic escapes and family vacations. Additionally, the facilities can accommodate functions for up to eighteen guests.

The largest cottage, Eagle's Call, features five bedrooms, each with two single beds, and three bathrooms, accommodating seven to ten people, making it suitable for extended family getaways. Misty Morns, the medium-sized cottage, can accommodate four to six guests and features three en-suite bedrooms, one with a double bed and two with two single beds. Fairview Cottage, the smallest of the three, has two en-suite bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with two single beds, accommodating two to four guests.

All three cottages offer striking views of the gardens, surrounding hills, valleys, and forests. They are equipped with towels, linens, fresh milk, and daily servicing. Each cottage has an indoor fireplace with wood supplies, private braai facilities with charcoal supplies, and satellite-equipped TV (guests are required to bring their own decoder and smart card). Home-baked products and freshly cooked meals are available by arrangement.
