Definitely worth a visit. It's remote and quiet (except for the peacocks). We had a very nice stay in the spacious room with a beautiful view of the cliff. The hostess was particularly nice and helpful. The room is wonderfully spacious with easy chairs where you can sit and watch the beautiful garden and birds. Crisp linen, soft towels and a porch with braai area and kitchenette were ideal. It is close to Ezemvelo Reserve, which makes it very suitable for an early morning walk in the reserve.

Beslis 'n besoek werd. Dis afgeleë en stil (behalwe vir die poue). Ons het baie lekker gebly in die ruim kamer met mooi uitsig oor die kliprantjie. Die gasvrou was besonder gaaf en behulpsaam. Die kamer is heerlik ruim met gemakstoele waar 'n mens lekker kan sit en kyk na die mooi tuin en voëls. Kraakvars linne, sagte handdoeke en 'n kuierstoep met braai-area en kombuisie was ideaal. Dit is naby Ezemvelo Reservaat, wat dit baie geskik maak vir 'n vroegoggend se stap in die reservaat.

Relaxed with the sound of the river in our ears the whole time. We had a lovely walk. We experienced a friendly welcome from start to finish. Lizelle went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable.

Ontspanne met die geruis van die rivier deurgaans in ons ore. Ons het heerlik gestap. Ons het van begin tot einde vriendelike ontvangs beleef. Lizelle het uit haar pad gegaan om ons kuier aangenaam te maak.

Very nice getaway near Pretoria for a short break. Very peaceful atmosphere, clean premises and rooms.

Baie lekker wegbreek naby Pretoria vir 'n kort breek. Baie rustige atmosfeer, skoon perseel en kamers.

Restful, therapeutic, beautiful. We had accidentally booked a non-self-catering venue, but the staff made a plan and upgraded us without charging us. This, of course, meant that the other venue was not deep cleaned, but this did not worry us too much. The peacock makes a mess on the verandah, but his visits are enjoyable and entertaining. The hikes were lovely and well marked, the Pinnacle cliffs stunning.

Enjoyed the weekend overall and will definitely recommend. Disappointed that the room was not maintained prior to our check-in, probably because it was a 10-sleeper and not booked for a while. Geyser, some lights, TV, and one shower not working to name a few. However, management was involved, sorted what they could and apologised, which we understood, and also gave us a free game drive to accommodate for the inconvenience.

Cozy place and very friendly service! Was a nice, peaceful stay, exactly what we were looking for. Would definitely recommend.

Gesellige plek en baie vriendelike diens! Was 'n lekker rustige verblyf, presies wat ons gesoek het. Sal definitief aanbeveel.
