Welcome to Lake Glencairn
Sheltering beneath the Giant's Cup in the unspoilt Southern Natal Drakensberg National Park, a World Heritage site, just 12 km from Sani Pass, lies a little known secluded valley on the Pholela River catchments.
The lake which takes its name from the trout farm nestling in the valley is one of a chain of five that dot this pristine 
waterway.
Of exceptional beauty, with stunning views of the Khanti range in the foreground and the high 'berg beyond, Lake Glencairn covers some 40ha.
Home to fish eagles, waterfowl, otters and small felines (genet, civet and caracal), which hunt its marshy reed beds, the lake is well stocked with rainbow and brown trout and has yielded fish in excess of 10lbs. Common reedbuck, mountain reedbuck, eland, duiker and baboons are commonly seen (along with over 100 bird species) on the surrounding hills, jackals though seldom seen, are often heard at night.
The owners, Jonathan and Cindy Leontsinis, personally welcome guests who come to visit and try to ensure that their stay is a memorable one.
Facilities/Activitiess
Activities on the farm include hiking, birding, swimming, boating, tubing on the Pholela river (which flows through the property), botanising (Jonathan is a horticulturist), and of course fly fishing on both river and dam.
More than 100 km of exciting mountain bike trails lace the immediate are and horseback riding under the eye of a professional instructor is available within 5 km's.
Day trips up Sani Pass in 4-wheel drive vehicles can be arranged as well as hikes further afield for the more energetic, and guided walks to rock art sites in the vicinity.
For the brave hearted: abseiling, hang-gliding and scenic flights in micro
light aircraft can also be arranged.
A comfortable, upmarket fully equipped
rondavel with fireplace and DSTV, accommodates six guests and overlooks the Pholela riverlands.
The "Trout House", also with fireplace and DSTV is fully equipped and sleeps six people. It has two private bedrooms each sleeping two people, and an open-plan lounge area that has two more beds. An additional six people can be accommodated in an adjacent annex. It has its own small dam stocked with bass for children to catch..
Both venues have braai/barbecue facilities with an initial load of firewood provided, and both are serviced daily. Laundry can be done by arrangement.
"The Stables" consist of three separate units within a recently renovated stables complex.
The main unit sleeps six people. It has three bedrooms – two en suite – and three bathrooms. There are only showers, no baths. There is a kitchenette with fridge, gas two-plate stove, microwave oven, electric frying pan, kettle, toaster etc. There is a sitting area and a fireplace. Due to electricity constraints, heaters are not provided (there is a fireplace), but hot water bottles are. There is Satellite TV but with a limited bouquet. If you want the full Multichoice bouquet you'll need to bring your own decoder as ours can't be "married" to a foreign smart card. There are braai facilities and wood is provided. The unit is serviced daily.
The tariff is R185.00 per person per day. Children under ten-years old are charged at half the adult rate. There is a minimum charge of R500.00 per day in this unit.
The remaining two units within the building each sleep three people but an extra bed can be provided if required. Each has two small bedrooms, a kitchenette, and a sitting area.
