ABOUT
Katrinasrust Trout Farm has been in the Brewer family since the 1940s, originally belonging to Tim Brewer's grandfather, Vernon. In 1990, Tim, who had previously been working in exploration geology, returned to Katrinasrust with his wife, Lesley-Anne, and their three children including their daughter, Alice, who was only a year old. Tim came back to help his father, Eric, run the trout business. You'll see his memorial bench at the Island Dam. Up until recently the farm produced in excess of 50 tonnes of fish per annum and largely dealt in live deliveries of trout to the local Machadodorp area and Mpumalanga province. More recently, however, the emphasis has gone over to recreation. Taking on this new direction for the farm is us, Alice and Graeme. We moved back to Katrinasrust at the end of 2018 from working in the bush, also where we met. Our vision for Katrinasrust is to create a space that enchants guests. To create a home away from home for you to relax and really spend quality time with family and friends while exploring the natural beauty that the farm has to offer. We hope that we get the chance to share this magical place with you.
Each cottage on Katrinasrust has a little something different to offer. Check out each one for more info on what you can expect when you stay with us.
