Dullstroom is the hub of the Mpumalanga Trout Triangle and as such is well-known and beloved by many, while to some it is an undiscovered gem. But for all, there is no better time to visit Dullstroom than at the Arts and Crafts Festival, which takes place on the long week-end in the middle of December.

The village will be buzzing with displays in every aspect of the Arts: Fine art, mosaic, sculpture, pottery, glasswork, and beadwork will be well represented by talented local artists. At some centres, artists will be showing-off their creative talents and interacting with visitors.

The restaurants will pull out all the stops with their best cuisine and fine wine and in some restaurants live entertainment will be offered. Cheese tasting, chocolate cups from the fountain in the chocolate shop and beer from the micro brewery will all be on offer.

An Art Meander on the road towards Lydenburg will enable visitors to call in at a number of destinations where resident artists will be showing their work in workshop galleries and tea gardens will be open to the public.

Accommodation is booking up fast...

So don’t delay in sourcing the right destination for your budget and family needs. Whether you require budget accommodation or five star luxury, Dullstroom is the place to be this December! After visiting Stonecutters Lodge for a brilliant 2 day art workshop with Eugene Hurter this week I couldn't recommend this four star luxury destination more. Quiet and tranquil Stonecutters, who is participating in the Art Meander, should be top of your list.

Visit “The Workshop” to see paintings on display and artists at work on this scenic 60 HA property, just 35 Kms from Dullstroom.  Teas and light lunches will be available from 10h00 to 17h00 on Sat 17 December and 10h00 to 12h30 on Sun 18Dec.

Book the special at Stonecutters 16, 17, 18 December and get the 19th December for free. (accommodation only) Phone 013 235 4225 or 083 375 0132 or 013 235 8921/2. As this is a long weekend this offer is subject to a first come, first served basis.
