With a name like Little Switzerland, it s a given that you will discover more than enough charm at this affordable family-friendly resort nestled at the foot of the Northern Drakensberg. The resort boasts a history that spans over a hundred years, from its start as a tea garden to its transformation into quaint Alpine chalets and hotel rooms with breathtaking views of what feels to be the pinnacle of the South African landscape. Revel in serene silence far from traffic and meetings, enjoy our hearty buffet carveries, crackling log fires and perhaps even some pampering at our spa. Relaxation and comfort are yours for the taking at this affordable family accommodation, with plenty of outdoor activities to complete your stay and guarantee your return. The iconic mountain peaks offer every excitement, from serious hiking and hairpin drives to gentle strolls through forested glades and even a spot of culture. Venture out nearby and you will discover the Royal Natal National Park, an addictively beautiful place far from the well-trodden tourist paths, where you can climb, bike, ride horseback, fish and spot birds and wildlife.

- Unfortunately, one thing that is lost from this ancient art is the respect and understanding of our Quarry, and the ethics and respect to the land and the landowners. Because of the few, we have set strict regulations to fishing at Little Switzerland Resort with severe fines for the breach of these rules.
- Tackle
- Only recognized fly fishing rods with AFTM (American Fishing Tackle Manufacturers) written somewhere on the butt are permitted.
- Only recognized fly fishing reels are allowed No fixed spool reels(coffee grinders), multipliers or centre-pin reels are allowed.
- Only fly line that is AFTM coded.
- Any style of leader or tippet may be used.
- Absolutely no natural baits or artificial lures are permitted. Only barbless flies will be allowed..
- Bag Limit
- 2 Fish per permit.
- Catch Release
- If, for any reason, the fish is bleeding after the hook is removed, its chance of
- survival is minimal. Rather keep the fish than returning it to the water
- Record Keeping
- Little Switzerland is in the process of setting up a management program for the stocking of our waters. Your assistance in accurately recording information in the fishing book will enable us to better manage our waters, and in the long run benefit all those who enjoy the sport.
