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.
