Our visit was very nice. The tranquility of the farm was incredible.
Our stay was something special. We were looking for accommodation near Tsitsikamma, Mount Africa was a suggestion. We chose Mount Africa, upon arrival we realized that Tsitsikamma is actually about an hour from our accommodation. Although the farm was something special, we had to drive on a dirt road that is not quite suitable for low or smaller vehicles. The owners were incredibly hospitable, friendly and helpful.

The tranquility of 'farm', but with all the necessary facilities. Armand and Elmi are very hospitable and friendly and immediately made us feel at home.
The Old Man's house at Mount Africa is well equipped and gives you a taste of farm life, but with facilities such as air conditioning, Jetmaster barbecue, etc. The 'boere-jacuzzi' or heated whirlpool is an unexpected delight and we enjoyed watching the stars at night from the luxury. The black bass and carp ponds offer an extra activity on top of nice, safe areas for walking or just relaxing on the nice patio. We will definitely not hesitate to recommend Mount Africa to our friends and acquaintances.

Elmi & Armandt are down-to-earth and immediately made us feel welcome and showed incredible hospitality; very friendly and they even provided wood, fresh bread, milk, jam and cheese. We were in the "bachelor's" unit, and it was the cleanest accommodation we have ever experienced. We definitely want to come back!

If I could give six stars I would! Armand and Elmi are particularly hospitable and generous. Fresh bread, butter salad in the fridge and biscuits for long sittings on the porch. The sausage and lamb I bought and grilled were fine! The farm lends itself particularly well if you want to switch off and be strengthened internally. You see very few strange people, it's private, very quiet and the stars are bright at night. I also did 2 nice steps. I highly recommend it, also for families.

Mount Africa deserves praise for everything. Stay comfortable and special.
Mount Africa offers exceptional value for money - it's a cliche, but it's spot on. The two of us stayed in the smallest house, but there was no problem with space. Everything clean and tidy, and all the equipment for our needs was there - even a neat little stove with two plates and a small oven, on top of that a microwave oven. The advance arrangements were effective (and in neat Afrikaans!), the reception was warm and the owners were always available to share information about their interesting businesses. In a time of severe drought, it was remarkable for us as city dwellers to see here how income can be generated; even with soap making. The location is beautiful with mountain views, although it was very limited from our cottage. According to the owners, the nature reserve, only a few 100 m from the house, is accessible to visitors. The location is a few kilometers from the main road, but the surroundings make up for it. There are no exceptional security measures, but probably because they are not needed. Keep extra money available for the homemade products.

Mount Africa exceeded our wildest expectations. The accommodation is lovely, even in the winter months - electric blankets, well equipped kitchen, gas heater for the cold evenings and a sunny veranda where we could enjoy the beautiful nature with a cup of coffee. We were warmly received by Armand and Elmi and enjoyed freshly baked grilled cake with homemade jam. We enjoyed watching all the activities on the farm (this farmer and his wife hardly ever sit still!), and it contributed to our wonderful relaxation. Elmi's meals are top notch - the marshmallow pudding is the best ever! We left with heavy hearts because it was more than just a vacation. We will definitely visit there again.

Hidden gem!
We were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful unit that awaited us - better than the expectation created by the photos. Mount Africa's beautiful, spacious unit and the peace and quiet of the undisturbed environment didn't only exceed our expectations, but Elmi's outstanding balance between hospitality and sensitivity to ones privacy was amazing. It is clear that she is living her passion and that it is not just a business. Upon arrival we got fresh flannel cake, homemade apricot jam and cheese in the unit. The 100 year old farmhouse was equipped with new things and everything that you need, combined with old world charm. The environment is secluded from bigger shops and cities, but we took all our food with us and enjoyed coffee at Joubertina's charming French inspired coffee shop (recommended by Elmi). The getaway from the city, surrounded by nature, peace and quiet was JUST what we needed! We definitely recommend them and will go back anytime. Excellent value for money.
