An absolute gem not far from Joburg and Pretoria! Stunning surroundings, amazing wildlife, and the kindest, most helpful hosts you could ask for. Their passion for conservation really shines through, and all meat is respectfully processed on site. Whether camping or staying in a room, it’s peaceful, well-run, and unforgettable. Highly recommended!
Loved it there. Peace and quiet no cellphone reception gr8 escape for relaxation. Gravel road to the place turning off from main road not so good f small little cars especially when it rains. Owner is fruendky and helpful.
Amazing breakaway location! Spectacular area and views of bushveld and mountain. A truely digital vacation.
1.)This is the best place for tech people to unplug. 2.) The owners go the extra mile for their guests. 3.) There is privacy and safety. 4.) Beautiful veld. 5.) Wonderful driving experience on rainy days!! 6.) The staff is so friendly. 7.) Well equipped kitchen. We were treated very well, and the staff is so lovely and friendly. The owners and staff are amazing. Note that phone reception is an issue. Going there and meeting the owners and staff was a blessing.
Such a lovely getaway. Headed out here in early December 2020 with my family and we had the time of our life. The place is nicely situated in dense bushes ensuring a very quiet and peaceful stay. The hospitality level is excellent although one needs to be cautious of the strict check-in time. At the time of my stay, the facility was rated 9.1 by Booking.com and I could not argue with this considering the type of service received. There are various rooms to book but from my observations, a consistent standard was maintained for all. The place is clean and tidy and they have a swimming pool to enjoy when desired. When booking, one must consider that the closest amenity (small town) is over 5 KM away, otherwise bring your own stuff for a convenient stay. There is a game farm drive if request and comes at a reasonable price but can be shared amongst a group.
