'Enjoy the little things in life because one day you`ll look back and realize they were the big things. ' - Kurt Vonnegut, American novelist, satirist, and graphic artist You like life's simple pleasures. Your idea of a great day is one spent in quiet, natural surroundings, where you hear nothing but the sounds of birds, a bubbling stream, and a few free-roaming animals chattering in the hills around you. End that off with jovial conversation, a crackling fire, and a glass of your favourite beverage and you're not just in heaven... You're in Machadostud Fly Fishing Lodge. Where you'll find Machadostud Fly Fishing Lodge - Machadostud Fly Fishing Lodge is a self-catering cattle farm and fishing lodge nestled in the mountainous eastern highlands of Mpumalanga, just 20km from Machadodorp. The panoramic views and resident ducks, geese, turkeys and peacocks make this rustic resort the ideal getaway for nature-lovers.
