The ideal getaway from the city for tranquility and beautiful nature. This place is a real gem for a peaceful getaway. We stayed in Bushwillow Cottage and the cottage was comfortable and well-equipped - you feel right at home. The surroundings are simply beautiful: a gently flowing river, breathtaking sunsets, and an atmosphere that makes you completely relax, especially next to a crackling fire. Everything you need for a few days of peace and recharging is here. We can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a bit of peace and quiet. Next time we definitely plan to stay longer.

Die ideale wegbreek uit die stad vir rustigheid en die mooie natuur. Hierdie plek is ’n ware juweel vir ’n rustige wegbreek. Ons het in Bushwillow Cottage oornag en die huisie was gerieflik en goed toegerus — jy voel dadelik tuis. Die omgewing is eenvoudig pragtig: ’n riviertjie wat rustig vloei, sonsondergange wat jou asem wegslaan, en ’n atmosfeer wat jou heeltemal laat ontspan, veral langs 'n knetterende vuur. Alles wat jy nodig het vir ’n paar dae se vrede en herlaai is hier. Ons kan dit met oortuiging aanbeveel vir enigiemand wat ’n bietjie stilte en rustigheid soek. Volgende keer beplan ons om beslis langer te vertoef.

Blessed. Wonderful place to switch off and rest. Big bonus is that Oude Doornbosch is only an hour from Jhb/Pta, but it feels like another world.

Salig. Wonderlike plekkie om af te skakel en te rus. Groot bonus is dat Oude Doornbosch net 'n uur van Jhb/Pta is, maar dit voel soos 'n ander wêreld.

We had a very pleasant stay and enjoyed every moment. We were warmly welcomed. We loved the walks to the river and around the farm, very picturesque. Also enjoyed the boma fire in the evenings.

Best stay. Incredibly nice self-catering accommodation with incredibly good hosts and hostesses. Extremely clean and has everything you need. The stream offers a wonderful atmosphere to stay.

Beste verblyf. Ongelooflike lekker selfsorgverblyf met ongelooflik goeie gasheer en gasvrou. Uiters skoon en het alles wat jy nodig het. Die stroompie bied 'n wonderlike atmosfeer tot verblyf.

Peaceful cottage along the Magalies River. A great stay at a lovely cottage in the Magaliesburg. We enjoyed the peace and quiet and the riverfront location.
