Our stay at Katy's was great. Will definitely recommend anyone looking at escaping the city for a peaceful weekend away.Amazing hosts.

We had such a good time with Katy.. We felt like family as the conversation filled with lots of laughter, and progressed late into the night.. Thank you for a very warm, homey experience!

What a treat! Affordable accommodation with so much on offer. Katy is generous and loves to surprise her guests by delivering so much more than you'd expect. Although we had never met before, the experience is like staying at your Aunties place: comfortable, homely, unpretentious. We'll be back again and again. Thank you

What an AMAIZING house and beautiful person Katy is. She was available when we got lost and waited for us with open arms. The rooms where large, clean and so tasteful. Katy allowed us to use her space as though it were ours! The views where truly amazing. Great place for a quiet getaway. A must go back again!

Awesome place for a peaceful breakaway with wonderful hosts. The breakfasts are very nice as well.

Perfect for a quiet get-away! Katy makes you feel at home right-away. We had access to three rooms, two bathrooms, a bar, pool table, living area and kitchen equipped with everything you need. We had a rainy cold weekend and could not do much outdoor exploring. Katy made sure that the heaters were turned on early enough to keep us warm and cozy.

Nice quiet getaway with lovely host as well.

Paul's cabin is beautiful. The place is one of the most peaceful I have ever experienced and the view is breathtaking. The cabin itself is simple and perfect for cosy dinners, lazy winter afternoons reading books or sunny breakfasts. Paul was very helpful and answered all my questions.

I got just what i was looking for: a quiet refuge that was ideal to unwind and reboot. On top of that Paul is a great host; so i strongly recommend this place.

We had a quiet, low key valentine's weekend at the cottage. We didn't meet Paul but the place was identical to the pictures!

We had a lovely stay at the Elements. It was beautiful and rustic and had everything we needed. The view was perfect! We will definitely be going back!

My wife and I were looking for a quiet place to get out of Johannesburg for a quick night away. Paul's place was perfect. Very quiet, private and well maintained. Enjoyed our stay.

We had an amazing experience at The Elements. Paul is a fantastic host and was very welcoming to both ourselves and our puppies. The atmosphere, location and view was exactly what we needed to break away from the city life. Highly recommended for a well deserved break.

Whilst we did not meet Paul, he was super accommodating in allowing us a very late check in. The accommodation was awesome. Very rustic and simple which we enjoyed thoroughly.

We enjoyed our weekend at the Elements and were amazed by the amount of birdsong in the mornings and late afternoon. However, we were quite disappointed by the value for money. Having travelled extensively across South Africa and often staying in rustic accommodation, we did feel the accommodation was overpriced and lacked a feeling of TLC. The cottage is also very close to the main house and so it is not ideal if you are seeking isolation. Otherwise, we enjoyed our time and particularly loved the view.

well equipped, spacious cottage! We really enjoyed our stay and had a lovely time relaxing in the garden. Leon was a friendly and helpful host!

We had an amazing stay at Mile End Farm. We loved everything about the cottage and the farm. The cottage is clean and well equipped. Although we didn't swim, the pool is a wonderful addition. And three fireplaces - wow, we were so spoiled for choice! I can definitely recommend this place.

I would recommend the Mile End Farm cottage for a quick out of Jozi getaway with the family. We were welcomed by Leon with special treats for the kids and ourselves on the beds. The space was great, especially for kids wanting to roam around. The cottage decor and design was lovely. We enjoyed the fireplace - stocked everyday. We also appreciated the coffee, tea and yummy cappuccino and rusks provided. Not to mention the great book and magazine selection. The facilities, bedding, and towels were all freshly clean. The helpers were also readily available, specifically to find us some old crates and boards for us for the kids to use as a crafts desk :)

A lovely cottage with a large garden, which is just great if you bring your dog's along.

Leon welcomed us and made us feel at home. The cottage is delightful and has rustic charm. The two fat cows and two dogs added to the rural atmosphere. Beds were comfortable and linen crisp and beautiful! A lovely stay. Thank you

This was a lovely place for a quick breakaway from the city. Beautiful setting and warm hospitality.

We had a short stay over at Mile End Farm, would have loved to stay a little longer. Everything was as promised, clean and quite spacious. Will definitely visit again if we need accommodation in the area.

The Mile End Farm wa wonderful. A perfect getaway for a short or long stay. Everything that you need is there. The house is beautifully decorated an the beds and duvets are super comfy. The showers are steamy hot and great pressure . Leon and Michael were very friendly and left us to ourselves but were always available for anything. It was a bonus for us to be able to take our 2 dogs along. We will be back. Thanks guys

A really lovely place that's somewhat tricky to get to. Although we stayed just one night and were quite pleasantly surprised to be staying in the spacious, beautiful, and well-appointed house, it was a ways off the main road and better suited to a relaxing retreat than an access point for the Cradle of Humankind sites nearby. That said, we enjoyed our stay and felt well taken care of, even when we had an issue or two that the on-site caretaker helped us resolve.

Thank you for this wonderful stay at your farm we loved the vieuw of the mountains and the stars at night. All though is was a little bit scarry to be alone in the middle of knowwhere. Our car had a little trouble on the way up off Road not a comfortabele Road to drive with a normal car. Thanks for the good breakfast and the fast respons on everything !

We enjoyed our stay very much. the view was bleathtaking, it did take 30 min on dirt road, because we had a little rental car so we drove really slow. but it was really worth it! we had a such a romantic night. We had everything we needed and they helped us pick nice restaurant for us for dinner. thank you so much!

This is a lovely place if you're looking to "get away from it all". You'll spend your mornings drinking coffee on the deck and your afternoons with a glass of wine in hand staring out, looking at the beautiful view. It makes for a great stay with your family or with friends. Just make sure you take a vehicle with decent clearance to traverse the rocky road up to the farm, but once there the view is spectacular. Thanks so much Amin! We loved our stay!

We had the most amazing time here!!! Gorgeous getaway, where you feel like you in a whole different world! And Zai and Amin are such amazing hosts, very welcoming and kind people! Ive already made plans to come back, this place is too amazing to miss out on.

This is a quiet, scenic and restful farm getaway. Linda and Peter and very friendly and helpful and made us feel relaxed and well-looked after.

Thanks for a great stay. The place is beautiful, rustic and secluded and it was an added bonus to be able to have our furry friend with us.

Host was proactive in contacting us and very welcoming. The place is indeed romantic and the pool has a nice large size. You must not be afraid to be in the bush and face spiders, ants and mosquitoes. The farm is 40 km outside Magaliesburg, the last 10 km are gravel road. The fire for the water heater is maintained twice a day by staff.

It's a very secluded place and perfect for relaxing without children. It's trickier with children mostly due to the little thorns everywhere so shoes have to be left outside each time and they definitely can't run around without shoes.

This place was amazing, a lot to keep children occupied, hosts were warm and made us feel very welcome. We definitely will recommend this place to others and would be sure to visit again in future for more than one night as there is so much to do. Beautiful and scenic and family friendly. Paul was extremely helpful in the time leading up to our stay and during our stay. We had a lovely time and hope to see them again in future!

Jenni was absolutely fantastic once we were in. My hubbys son decided on the spur of the moment that they would like to spend the night as well and it was no problem and she put us in chalets next to each other. She even brought down some weetbix and rusks so the kids would have breakfast in the morning. That was really kind of her. One really needs to spend a few days there to make the most of the place. It really is beautiful

It was peaceful and we really enjoyed our stay. A list of suggested hiking spots was prepared for us which was really helpful. Amazing hosts, though we didn't get to meet Malinda but Darryl made us feel at home. The house was better than we had expected. Exactly what we needed for a short stay and wish it was a week long stay so we can get to do more. Darryl is an amazing and chilled guy even though we were late. And the bed is amazing and was comfortable.

Lovely place - quiet, simple and comfortable. Lots of gorgeous walks and fantastic scenery nearby. Malinda and her family are very welcoming, as are the cats, pigs and geese.

Angelique's farm is really beautiful! It's a lovely property not far out of town with beautiful gardens, great games (darts, pool etc), and an excellent veranda for sitting outside in the morning. The house has beds for 11 people, large kitchen and dining areas and is evidently set up to accommodate large families and groups of friends. Angelique is super friendly, as well as extremely helpful and prompt in her replies to my inquiries.

We had a great chat with Angelique that really got us excited about coming to stay at her place. The farmhouse has a lovely kitchen where we made great food and then ate together all very cosily. Angelique offered that we could use the supplies in her cupboards which was very kind. It really felt like her home was opened up to us, and not a guesthouse. The beds were great - a huge room with four double beds and singles - we went over with three couples and our kids - sleeping together was great fun. Later in the evening the lounge provided a cosy place to play games into the night. The splash pool was amazing for the kids and adults! Angelique and McKenzie and his wife were very helpful and available and lovely. Great to have them there. The verandah took us back to old days of sitting on the stoep and gazing to the horizon - loved it. Thanks Angelique, we would love to come back ....

Angelique was a very friendly, accommodating and lovely host!! She took great care of us and we felt very welcomed right from the beginning. The estate is very impressing, safe and has an amazing view. If you love dogs, this is the right place for you! We would alway love to come back :-)

Unfortunately the listing description was not accurate. There are two bedrooms (not four) sleeping two in one room through which those in the second - containing four double beds and a single - must walk. Only one bathroom (with shower) was operational; however the light was not working. The pool (a farm dam) was not usable as it was full of algae/slime. Morning coffee on the lovely veranda was peaceful as promised, but the four dogs unfortunately howled and barked throughout the night beneath the bedroom windows. Budget around half an hour for the the very rough 3km dirt road and leave the sedan at home. Best also to leave small kids at home as the lovely, but very big, dogs are boisterous in the extreme. Decor is an eclectic mix of Zen Buddhism and Christian ( with every surface covered with icons, candles, ornaments, photos and paintings); olde world farmhouse - and modern kitchen appliances. There are some stunning items of old furniture, all dominated by Tretchikoff paintings and family photographs. However, the farmhouse appears to be a work in progress. Be aware that the owner moves out (hurriedly, it seems) for guests, so don't expect the usual freshly laundered towels or linens on beds, or cupboard space to unpack. There is a pool table and TV, and a trampoline outside. Ideal for groups: perhaps an ideal destination for fire and trance-dance parties? Or a group yoga retreat where participants can enjoy a dormitory-type sleeping arrangement.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Angelique's guest house. Despite initial confusion regarding pricing, it suited our purpose of a girls weekend perfectly. If couples wanted to stay, however, the description of 4 bedrooms is ambiguous as most of the beds are in one big room. Having the full house to ourselves and with help from the friendly staff, we were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. All in all great weekend away.

The home is beautiful and the surroundings are awesome. Natalie is a very helpful host. We hardly needed much as the home is well supplied linen, towels, crockery, pots & utensils, etc. but whenever we needed assistance with anything Natalie was very responsive. The stay was very comfortable and calming and the kitchen was our favorite part in the house.

Fantastic, restful, renovated farmhouse. Highly recommended for a peaceful getaway.

beautiful house where you feel at home. the external environment (garden + brook) is restful and bucolic. our host has proved helpful and pleasant. we will happily.

Wonderful break in the country. Looking forward to returning soon. Thank you Sue for your wonderful hospitality.

Sue's place was great, the setting overlooking the Magalies mountains is fantastic, it is a very peaceful place and excellent for a little R&R. The accommodation is clean and provides all that you need. Sue is also an amazing host and went out of her way to make us feel welcome, she is also very knowledgeable of the area! The pictures in the ad are an accurate reflection of what you get, although they don't capture the beauty of the setting which can only be experienced when you are there!
