Welcome to Greystone Lodge
A Truly Pet Friendly Lodge near Dullstroom
Greystone Lodge is a fully pet friendly lodge near Dullstroom, purpose-built for guests who refuse to leave their pets behind. We offer nine private, self-catering chalets, each individually fenced to ensure safety, privacy, and peace of mind for both you and your furry companions.
Unlike standard pet-friendly accommodation, Greystone Lodge is designed specifically with pets in mind. We welcome all dog breeds and sizes, with no restrictions on the number of dogs per chalet, making us the ideal choice for multi-dog households and larger breeds.
Each chalet features its own private garden, enclosed with a 1.2m high diamond-mesh fence. For larger or more energetic dogs, two chalets include extended 2m fencing, ideal for Great Danes, jumpers, or determined escape artists. Importantly, no chalets share fencing, ensuring complete privacy and reducing stress for pets that prefer their own space.
Our chalets are spaciously positioned and fully private, allowing you to relax while your pets enjoy freedom in a secure environment.
Greystone Lodge is easily accessible via the Machadodorp gravel road from the R540, and can be reached comfortably with any standard clearance vehicle from both Dullstroom and Belfast.

Greystone Lodge
Accommodation
Set at approximately 1,900 metres above sea level, Greystone Lodge offers a high-altitude retreat in the heart of Dullstroom, one of South Africa’s highest towns and home to the country’s highest train station at 2,076 metres. This elevated setting creates a distinctive atmosphere and ever-changing natural scenery throughout the year.
Guests can expect dynamic weather conditions, from cool, misty mornings to warm afternoons and summer rainfall in the evenings. Winters are typically cold and dry, although Dullstroom’s climate is known for surprises with occasional warm winter afternoons that feel more like summer.
In recent years, we have experienced warmer winters and hotter summers, adding to the lodge’s unique seasonal character. One of the highlights was the rare snowfall in July 2023, the first at Greystone Lodge since 2014, transforming the property into a truly magical winter escape.
To ensure a comfortable stay, we recommend arriving prepared for all seasons. For those seeking the classic Dullstroom winter experience, our chalets are perfect for cosy, log-fire evenings. Each unit is equipped with a fireplace, and complimentary firewood is provided, so you can relax and unwind in warmth while enjoying the crisp mountain air outside.
Fly fishing permits are available.
Fishing equipment is free with the purchase of a fishing permit.
*Only pay for lost/damaged equipment.
