Go Country is a working farm 12 km from Dullstroom village and 4.5km from the renowned Highland Gate golf course with its 18 hole Championship Ernie Els Golf Course. A 1.2km dirt road drive from the gatehouse will take you to the cottages, set against a forest with magnificent views of the dams and grassland on the farm. 3 bass dams are available for fishing.

We had a great-great time at Go Country. I’ve never seen Shona’s Place before, only knew the other houses on the property, but it was and is excellent, beautiful, very well appointed, quiet and peaceful, and our stay was fantastic and perfect! We had a good rest whilst being there. Thank you so so very much for the trouble and care you’ve taken, it is much appreciated. We will definitely go again. I was leaving with tears in my eyes… I didn’t want to leave…
