Hidden gem, peaceful, scenic. What a peaceful and wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome. Isaac, who took us to our cottage, was exceptionally friendly and helpful and made us feel at home straight away. Bethesda Mountain Lodge is truly a hidden gem. It offers the perfect getaway from the city, while still being close enough to Hartbeespoort that the drive didn't feel long or inconvenient at all. The dirt road on the farm is well maintained and was easily accessible with my hatchback. One of the highlights of our stay was the hiking trail. The scenery was breathtaking, and although some sections were challenging, it only made the experience more worthwhile. Whether you are looking for an adventurous hike or simply a peaceful place to relax and reconnect with nature, this is the ideal place. The lodge is also very affordable and offers excellent privacy. There is enough space between the cottages that you never feel like you are sitting on your neighbours' porch. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would definitely recommend Bethesda Mountain Lodge to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

Hidden gem, rustig, natuurskoon. Wat 'n rustige en heerlike verblyf! Van die oomblik dat ons aangekom het, het ons welkom gevoel. Isaac, wat ons na ons cottage geneem het, was besonder vriendelik en behulpsaam en het ons dadelik tuis laat voel. Bethesda Mountain Lodge is werklik 'n hidden gem. Dit bied die perfekte wegbreek uit die stad, terwyl dit steeds naby genoeg aan Hartbeespoort is dat die rit glad nie lank of ongerieflik voel nie. Die grondpad op die plaas is goed onderhou en was maklik bereikbaar met my hatchback. Een van die hoogtepunte van ons verblyf was die staproete. Die natuurskoon was asemrowend, en hoewel sommige gedeeltes uitdagend was, het dit die ervaring net meer waardevol gemaak. Of jy nou op soek is na 'n avontuurlike staptog of bloot 'n rustige plek om te ontspan en weer met die natuur te skakel, hierdie is die ideale plek. Die lodge is ook baie bekostigbaar en bied uitstekende privaatheid. Daar is genoeg ruimte tussen die cottages dat jy nooit voel asof jy op jou bure se stoep sit nie. Ons het ons verblyf ongelooflik geniet en sal Bethesda Mountain Lodge beslis aanbeveel vir enigeen wat op soek is na 'n rustige wegbreek.

Quiet and relaxing, breathtaking sunsets, beautiful scenery. What an incredibly beautiful and peaceful getaway. From the cozy house among the trees to the breathtaking sunsets by the water and beautiful hiking trails, every moment was relaxing and special. The perfect place to switch off, enjoy nature and just breathe again. Will definitely go back again!

Rustig en ontspannend, asemrowende sonsondergange, natuurskoon. Wat ’n ongelooflik mooi en rustige wegbreekplek. Van die knus huisie tussen die bome tot die asemrowende sonsondergange by die water en pragtige staproetes, elke oomblik was ontspannend en besonders. Die perfekte plek om af te skakel, die natuur te geniet en net weer asem te haal. Sal beslis weer teruggaan!

Away from the hectic life. In the bush and very private. Beautiful walking trails and nice braai facilities. Slept well on the beds and would have liked to stay another day or two.

Weg van die gejaagde lewe. In die bos en baie privaat. Mooi staproetes en lekker braaigeriewe. Lekker geslaap op die beddens en sou graag nog 'n dag of twee wou oorbly.

Neat, isolated, scenic. We had a great stay here! The photos do not do justice to the quality that Bethesda offers.

Netjies, geïsoleerd, natuurskoon. Ons het vreeslik lekker hier gebly! Die foto's voldoen nie aan die kwaliteit wat Bethesda bied nie.

A beautiful area, with amazing birds. Comfortable cottage with all amenities. The stay was great, wonderful setting under huge fig trees. Cute cottage with everything one needs. Note: no oven though. The slide-up windows either side of the door do not lock, which is concerning given the criminality of the country we live in! The toilet seat is a soft plastic that deforms when sat on. Please get a solid seat! The gas shower was very difficult to set, either scalding hot or cold! The stairs leading up to the loft are dangerous for young and old, see photos on the website. The bed was lovely with soft sheets and a very comfortable mattress. The braai is not covered, or close to the veranda and therefore not comfortable to use if it is raining. Also track dirt and mud back onto the veranda or chalet.

Wonderful stay close to Pretoria. We had an extremely pleasant stay at the Wildevy Cottage. The cottage is charming, and the setting under the Wildevy tree is truly peaceful and beautiful. Even though the cottage is not far from the main premises, it still offers complete privacy and tranquility, surrounded by nature and the squirrels that occasionally visit. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need, and it’s clear that great care is taken to ensure everything is perfect upon your arrival. Cell reception is quite spotty, but the provided Wi-Fi is adequate and keeps you connected to relatives, giving peace of mind that you're in good hands. To wrap things up—will definitely see us again. For such a short trip from Pretoria, it's a gem, and we look forward to a longer stay on our next visit. Thank you—you left us thoroughly impressed.
