FENCED, PET-FRIENDLY, SELF-CATERING CHALETS NEAR DULLSTROOM

At Greystone Lodge near Dullstroom, we have 9 individually fenced, pet-friendly/safe, self-catering chalets. 

We are predominantly a pet-friendly lodge providing a unique experience for you and your furbabies.

All sizes and breeds of dogs are welcome! We do not limit the quantity either.

The lodge is easily accessible with any standard clearance vehicle from Dullstroom & Belfast using the Machadodorp gravel road from the R540. 
Click here for detailed directions.

Each chalet has its own fenced private garden (with 1.2m high diamond-mesh fence). 
Two chalets have fence extensions (2m) for large dogs like Great Danes or jumpy dogs and fence-climber escape artists.

No chalet shares a fence with another chalet. 

The units are all spaced apart from each other and are private.

A fire-place is the central feature of each chalet’s lounge and definitely sought after for our chilly winter evenings.

Your chalet is stocked with a complimentary supply of wood and the fireplace is setup ready to go, just strike that match!

Additional loads are R150 each.

  • Please protect your dogs and keep them on leash around the chalet areas.
  • Bring your dog’s secure leash or harness. 
  • Choke-chains are not adequate.
  • We understand that dogs bark as they also need to talk to us, but please shush your dogs if they bark continuously, it is very irritating to everyone around you.

  • If you need old towels for them, please ask us, we have loads.
  • We do have Blesbok on the property, if your dog is off-leash in the open fields, they will probably attempt to chase the Blesbok. 
  • Please don’t allow this to become a regular game for them.
  • Once off isn’t an issue as the Blesbok will runaway to a safe distance but regular chasing will result in the Blesbok getting stressed and injuries could occur.
  • If your dog runs off after a bunny or buck and you can’t find your dog, please check your chalet, please don’t panic, the dogs usually go back to the chalet.
  • Should your dog be off-leash and attack another pet on-leash, you will be responsible for any vet costs incurred.

  • Snakes occasionally occur here; Rinkhals and Puff Adders are most venomous.
