Critchley Hackle Lodge

Dullstroom village, Dullstroom, Mpumalanga 20 guestsRRR · Premium

Overview & Capacity

Critchley Hackle is the in-village Dullstroom alternative to Walkersons - a premium-boutique lodge with its own trout lake, fireplaces and a whisky bar, catering conference-style groups up to about sixty. It is genuinely trading (reviews into July 2026) and makes an easy, characterful bosberaad base within walking distance of the village. Two honest flags: its TripAdvisor ranking looks weak only because Dullstroom has a tiny hotel pool, and its direct phone and email did not surface cleanly - bookings currently route through an agent, so confirm direct contacts before quoting.
