Fantastic! Just what we were looking for! We loved our 2 nights at the Stone Cottage! Small, quaint and simple - so peaceful and relaxing! We loved sitting outside at the cottage watching the eland, wildebeest, zebra, warthogs, jackals, bee eaters, eagles, and so many more birds/game. The trails were great as well - some better taken care of than others, but overall, good fun and beautiful! We would have liked to have been told about the slow & rough road (17km to the entrance gate) and the road condition getting to the cottage - we made it in our small car, but would have chosen a higher clearance vehicle had we known. A few small issues arose during our stay, but were very quickly addressed and sorted by the staff.

Good morning Bruce, Thank you for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed your visit to Bateleur Nature Reserve. Apologies, as a rule all visitors are notified to prepare to drive the 17km gravel road. Normal sedan vehicles will be able to drive the road, although slowly. Thank you for your positive feedback - it's much appreciated. You are welcome to visit us again, to break away from the busy city life. Regards, Susan

Goeie môre Bruce, Dankie vir jou resensie. Ons is bly dat jy jou besoek aan Bateleur Natuurreservaat geniet het. Verskoning, as 'n reël word alle besoekers in kennis gestel om voor te berei om die 17 km grondpad te ry. Normale sedanvoertuie sal die pad kan ry, hoewel stadig. Dankie vir jou positiewe terugvoer - dit word baie waardeer. Jy is welkom om weer by ons te kom kuier, om weg te breek van die besige stadslewe. Groete, Susan

Loved it! If you are looking for peace and quiet with basic but comfortable accommodation, look no further. We stayed in Stone Cottage number 8 with a beautiful view of the valley. Every morning, impala and wildebeest surrounded the cottage, and we saw eland, giraffe, and warthog as well. The hiking is pretty technical but well worth it. There are a few maintenance issues in the cottage, for example, some broken tiles and missing curtains, as well as the outside light needing to be replaced, but otherwise it was clean and had everything you would need for a weekend away. Will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Quiet surroundings, but the cottage and surroundings need maintenance. The reserve is lovely and we saw lots of animals and birds. The rest is also fantastic. The cottage itself is quite neglected (especially outside) and the kitchen was not very well equipped with enough cutlery etc. not. The swimming pool was also not maintained at all, but the pools were lovely. The cottage is very close to the reception and mountain villa which reduces the feeling of seclusion quite a bit.

Rustige omgewing, maar die huisie en omgewing kort onderhoud. Die reservaat is lieflik en ons het baie diere en voëls gesien. Die rus is ook fantasties. Die huisie self is redelik verwaarloos (veral buite) en die kombuis was nie baie goed toegerus met genoeg eetgerei ens. nie. Die swembad was ook glad nie onderhou nie, maar die poele was wel heerlik. Die huisie is baie naby aan die ontvangs en berg villa wat die gevoel van afsondering redelik verminder.

It was an unforgettable weekend with family to celebrate my Dad's 70th. Everything is perfect. I just suggest coming with a van or something like that, the road can get rough, but on the other hand you have to think it's in the hills. Beautiful view, comfortable beds. Great service. Thank you Susan, Walter and Levy and of course Janeatha.

Dit was 'n onvergeetlike naweek saam familie om my Pa se 70ste te vier. Alles is perfek. Ek stel net voor kom met 'n bakkie of so iets, die pad kan rof raak, maar aan die ander kant moet mens dink dis in die koppies. Pragtige uitsig, gemaklikke beddens. Puik diens. Dankie Susan, Walter en Levy en natuurlik Janeatha.

Loved it! Had an amazing stay! Even though we got rained in, it was really beautiful! Got to spend some much needed quality time together! If you want luxury go to Sandton, if you want peace go to Bateleur!

Restful. Well marked hiking trails, safe environment. Secluded from the world yet only two hours drive from Gauteng.

Rustig. Goed gemerkte staproetes, veilige omgewing. Afgesonder van die wereld maar tog net twee ure se ry van Gauteng.

Thanks for your positive feedback Heinrich, even if we were all rained out. . I'll use your tag line: "If you want luxury go to Sandton, if you want peace go to Bateleur."

Dankie vir jou positiewe terugvoer Heinrich, al was ons almal uitgereën. . Ek sal jou merkerlyn gebruik: "As jy luuksheid wil hê, gaan Sandton toe, as jy vrede wil hê, gaan na Bateleur."

Relaxing. The geyser was broken in the cottage. Although Wouter made arrangements for us to shower in another cottage, it was a bit inconvenient to boil water for dishes. But otherwise it had been a nice walking weekend.

Ontspannend. Die geyser was stukkend in die kothuis. Alhoewel Wouter reëlings vir ons getref het om te stort in 'n ander kothuis was dit bietjie ongerieflik om water te kook vir skottelgoed. Maar verder was dit 'n lekker stapnaweek gewees.
