The Highlands Meander Region of Mpumalanga is a hidden gem celebrated for its outstanding fly-fishing opportunities, particularly in the charming town of Belfast.
Here, the crystal-clear waters teem with vibrant Rainbow Trout and formidable Bass, thriving thanks to the rich tapestry of insect life that flourishes along the lush, reeded dams, locally known as ‘vlies’. Nestled in a picturesque valley between Belfast and the enchanting Dullstroom, the Middelpunt Farm serves as a tranquil sanctuary for fly-fishing enthusiasts and their families. This idyllic locale boasts seven pristine dams, including a remarkable trophy dam, each offering a unique setting for unforgettable fishing adventures.
Beyond the allure of fishing, visitors can explore an exhilarating mountain bike track that winds through breathtaking landscapes, engage in birdwatching to marvel at the region’s diverse avian life, and immerse themselves in the stunning array of fauna and flora that embellish this natural paradise.
Middelpunt Farm is lovingly owned and maintained by a collective of passionate shareholders ( Transvaal Fly Fishing Club (TFFC) and nurtured by a limited membership of just 110 devoted fisherfolk and their families. Please note that membership is required to access Middelpunt Farm, which also offers accommodation for members.
This haven not only fosters a sense of community among nature lovers but also invites outdoor adventurers to embrace the tranquility and beauty of their surroundings.

Hi there Angie
You must contact the place directly to arrange your awesome day fishing experience in Belfast, if there is anything you need just leave a comment on our site.
This site needs to be updated and they say nothing for 2025 … So what is the cost to stay and fly fish for a weekend ? Are there pics of the place. is it fly fishing only and you must find another place to sleep for the weekend?
Hi Bruce,
Thank you for your interest and for informing us about the outdated information. I have made improvements to the article as well i took your consideration into account, i have updated the accommodation details for the closest stay to Middelpunt Farm. Additionally, Dullstroom Manor offers various activities, including fishing. I have also contacted TFFC for additional information. If there is anything else you need, please let us know.
With my search for improvements I managed to find out that Lakenvlei Forest Lodge has been closed down temporarily or permanent unable to verify.
