Beautiful and peaceful setting. 10 minutes away from Dullstroom, but you will need another 6 to 8 minutes to drive down the mountain to the picturesque hotel below. They have an airfield as well as a helicopter pad... wowser! Lunch was magnificent. I had a smoked pork chop and my wife enjoyed the Chefs special, which was fish. Both meals were scrumptious!

Lovely setting and views to look at. Food quality was rather disappointing, everyone at our table was not satisfied with their food. However we made the best of our time here ans enjoyed the vibe

I stayed in Shooters hill on the complex. Beautiful house. Beautiful view. Plenty dams to catch trout but not an easy feat. The fish are too clever, they have seen every fly possible.

Honestly, I have nothing to complain about my stay except that I wish I tried fly fishing. Everything from the food to the service was 5 stars like it should be. I would not mind spending a week here and working remotely. It has beautiful views and most importantly, it is so peaceful.The food was a highlight for me. Well presented and delicious.The Flying Scotsman offers a 4-course meal for dinner and has a different menu every night.Must-try dishes:For main: Grilled Beef FilletFor dessert: As you know, I am a dessert person, and my meal is not complete without a sweet dish. Be sure to try out the hot chocolate pudding.

This property really is impressive and any review that doesnt give it 5 star boggles my mind.The grounds are magnificent, the service is impeccable and the food delicious. We stayed in Unit 9 and what can i say about this room..... Spacious and has everything. Under floor heating in all areas, fire place, electric blankets, towel warmers, bath and cherry in the room.... Would i recommend Walkerons.... Every day of the week.... Especially weekends!!!!!!

Walkersons unce upon a time the PLACE to be in and around Dullstroom. Best food, wine and hospitality 5star has turned into a water down bowl of cheese sauce. So disappointed to see such a monumental destination turned into just another place next to the road.

Beautiful country hotel just outside Dullstroom with amazing views and a lovely nature walk past trout dams. We stayed in a comfortable room with and outdoor shower and fireplace. Staff are attentive and service exceptional. On site restaurant serves breakfast, light lunches and dinner. We loved the time spent at Walkersons and will definitely be back.

This is a 5 star country living experience with excellent service. You can ride a horse or a bicycle or even take a walk on their walking trail. Trout fishing, and a picnic spot add to the stunning views. The hotel has a superb restaurant and breakfast on the patio is definite must, my room had a divine outside shower and a fire place and stunning views of the surrounds...i cant wait to return.

Review №49

This place is really amazing. I did not sleep here I only came for lunch and spent the afternoon but the view is absolutely breathtaking!! The only reason I did not give it a 5 stars is the food! It was not bad but not nothing special. I enjoyed spending time here, the service was good but they took very long to serve the food and they did not have many customers.

Really nice spot for a breakfast/ lunch or lovely romantic dinner. Great spring / summer spot to enjoy breakfast on the terrace outisde with family and friends. During winter it has several beautiful and large fire places perfect for enjoying a glass of red wine paired with a lovely dinner. They have two separate menus one for the terrace and a lovely fine dining menu for the flying scotsman section of the hotel. Staff are uber professional and kind and there are plenty of activities for day visitors like horse riding, hiking, biking etc and a nice spa. One of the most beautiful hotels in the country. Defintely one of the nicest places in and around Dullstroom. Prices are reasonable but you will be paying slightly more for the fine dining options which is worth the extra spend.

A beautiful hotel with an cozy old world look and feel with all the modern amenities, set in and surrounded by a truly breathtaking and scenic landscape of rolling hills and a number of fishing lakes. The rooms are separate cottages, that provides privacy an space and connects you to the outside. Footpaths allow you to explore the surroundings and waterfalls.

Lovely country estate in a magnificent setting. Old-school hotel. Great for a weekend escape. Really good birdlife.The furniture in the room we were in was ever so slightly worse for wear, but its lovely to have a fireplace in the room (which they will light for you every night if you so wish). Good bed and nice minibar too. We happened to be there during a heatwave and there was no way to cool the room down. It would have been helpful to have a small fan.The massage at the spa wasnt bad and the service was good.The food at the main restaurant and terrace were great (except the falafel pita, which was bland) and really not expensive for hotel fare. Being a celebrated fly-fishing spot, Dullstroom offers lots of trout dishes, but the two that we tried at Walkersons are some of the best weve had.The grounds are well kept and you can explore walking trails, hire a bicycle or golf cart, or book a ride with the horse riding school on the property.All in all, a lovely stay.

One of my favorite home away from home places. Wakersons Hotel & Spa seldom disappoints. I love the country side feeling, the interior, the wood fireplaces, the friendly staff and most of the time the good meals. We had a very beautiful and comfortable luxury room. Electric blankets on the king size bed, warm bathroom floor and a charming warm fireplace. Taking a walk on the grounds early morning with the cold biting is pure bliss. The trout fishing dams are in good condition and provide endless entertainment to keen fly fishing-men. We will back!

I have been driving past Walkersons Hotel for more than 15 years. I am a Tourist Operator and Guide, so I decided to visit WalkersonsHotel and enquire what they have to offer my future Tourists. What a reception I received! I was shown around and visited some suites and was greatly impressed. Walkersons Hotel will definitely be a stop for my touring guests in the future. Being so close to Dullstroom with its own attractions, I can design a stop for at least 2 nights.

Review №79

We stayed two nights and loved it. Its not a place for excitement or activities - but a place to unwind, relax, take leisurely strolls, fly fish. After a few hectic weeks at work in the USA, this was our first stop after flying into JBG. Great place to recharge batteries. Restaurant was delicious, cabins were comfortable and staff was friendly.

Picturesque does not begin to describe the scenery. Great fishing and even better accommodation. Weekdays are really affordable and a great stop before the long road to the North . Horse riding also available and within 10 mins of Dullstroom. Tea and scone at the hotel can also be recommended and the service is excellent

Magical mountains and country side. Fishing, bike riding and wholesome walks are the order of the day. Cuddling next to a cozy fire in the often chilly evenings is recommended.

Had a light lunch at the Hotel. For a 5 Star...rather disappointing. Ok it was straight after new year!! Veranda area was dirty, tables not clean from previous guests. Table next to us had a slice of bread lying on the floor. Service was poor, and when we did not give a tip, there were mumblings amongst the staff in their own language.The couch on the veranda was really dirty, cushions stained, which looked like blood.Will not visit again. Although the food was good, not worthy of a 5 star.

Restaurant was just ok. Inconsistencies were clear on the same order on our table. Chicken and prawn curry tasted like packet curry powder was used. Rack of lamb was very fatty. Fillet pasta had loads of dried spices in the sauce.
