Troutbeck Resort

A Warm Welcome from Troutbeck Resort

Troutbeck Resort is situated at the foot of ancient pine-treed hills and overlooks a trout-filled lake. The hotel was built and founded by Major Herbert MacIlwaine in 1947 and has undergone considerable changes over the years. However, the famous log fire has never been put out since it was lit at the hotel’s opening.

The hotel is 6500 feet (2200m) above sea level, and the surrounding mountains climb to 8508 feet (2593m) above sea level. This inviting hotel is perfectly positioned to explore the scenic and tranquil beauty of Nyanga and to savour the crisp mountain air. Troutbeck Resort provides friendly and efficient service in one of Africa’s finest countryside settings. 

Experience. Explore. Enjoy.
