Refreshment for the soul and anointing for the spirit.
It was a blissfully peaceful weekend in the most beautiful scenery that the beautiful Cape winelands can offer. In the silence, one can hear the birds chattering and hear the rustling of the leaves of the large fig tree next to the porch. The only problem is that we couldn't stay 3 days longer.

The team at Pat Busch are all friendly and looked after us well. Unfortunately, the blue berry farm makes a lot of noise during the night, but it's certainly not always like that. The nature reserve is very beautiful and the hiking trails are great. We will come again for hiking and fishing.

Beautiful farm with stunning scenery and surroundings. Our daughter had an absolute blast playing and running around and we felt really safe.
Pat Busch Mountain Reserve 's response
Dear Monique,
Thank you so much for the wonderful comments and rating, it is much appreciated and we are overjoyed that you had a great stay on the reserve.
We apologize for the poor Wi-Fi, but this is not the norm as we've invested a fortune in our Wi-Fi infrastructure and have an extensive network covering all our cottages & glamping tents, as well as most of the common outdoor areas. That said, unfortunately with the winter storms we've been experiencing in the Cape the local municipal transformer was severely damaged, and this affected our network for an extended time.
We are also susceptible to load shedding, but hopefully, this is short-lived as we are working on an extensive backup power solution for our guests.

A picturesque location, the cottage (Quince) is equipped with everything, clean and tidy. The scenery and activities make us want to go back as a group this spring.
Close enough to the surrounding towns to really thoroughly explore the Robertson Wine Valley, but well hidden that one is only aware of the silence and peacefulness of nature. The Shop at Pat Busch is quite well stocked and all the most important supplies/items just in case you forgot something. Beautiful hiking trails, nice swimming pool and the natural beauty is breathtaking. A recommendation to Pat Busch's management: Consider establishing a "boutique" campground on the lawn/open space north of the hall and just west of the fishing pond. So ± 10 - 12 pitches maximum. You will be in high demand!

It is a wonderful place and quiet in the mountains - Lots of things to do for both adults and children.
However, we were disappointed with the accommodation - Double bed was very uncomfortable and there was no place to put down luggage. It wasn't hot every morning - even if it wasn't loadshedding. The bathroom door handle kept falling out because the door opens to the outside and no warning was posted on it. Everything was done electronically - "checking in" and ordering additional wood is impersonal.

Dear Altia
Thank you for your review. We have taken your feedback seriously and discussed this with our team on site. For the most part, our efforts at providing a safe, socially-distant stay during Covid times have been appreciated by our guests and visitors to the reserve.
Firstly, due to the Covid-19 pandemic & in the interests of hygiene & keeping our guests safe, it is worth clarifying that all high touch point items and soft furnishings have been removed from our units - which unfortunately may appear to slightly diminish that 'personal touch'. As explained in the booking information emailed to all guests, our Reception Office & Shop has been temporarily closed due to the pandemic and level 3 regulations, in the interests of promoting social distancing. We have purposefully done away with a high touch reception area and introduced an online check-in system, allowing guests to pre-order wood, ice, and essentials prior to arrival.
To comply with our Covid-19 protocols as per the email we sent you, we have adopted a system of self-check-in, where guests make their way to their units and make themselves at home on arrival (no need to formally report to our Reception). Our manager will visit at least once during your stay to make sure that everything is in order, all the while trying to respect our guest's privacy by not being intrusive, and also maintaining social distancing protocols. That said, if you would have liked a tour of the property this could have been requested on-site by appointment, and I'm sure our manager would have obliged.
Loadshedding is, unfortunately, a part of South African life these days, no matter where you are, and it does take us all by surprise from time to time. This coupled with the fact that we are based high in the mountains on a nature reserve (which is probably one of the reasons why you visited us), it does pose its own challenges as we are obliged to supply our own water & pressure. We also have to provide for our own communications (since Telkom does not service out-of-reach areas any longer) and we also build & maintain our own roads. This level of self-sufficiency is probably not apparent to most city dwellers. We do apologize that there wasn't an alternative light in your cottage, but we made a decision to remove all candles from our units due to several incidents. That said there is a Consol solar jar light outside the front door, and we do encourage guests to bring along torches. Unfortunately, when the power is down, our entire Wi-fi infrastructure goes down as well, including our water pressure booster pumps. However even with the booster pumps not working during load shedding, there is still water at the units, just not at such high pressure. The Wifi infrastructure which we have on the reserve has been installed at great expense to offer guests this convenience for free, however, we like most South African businesses, remain at the mercy of Eskom.
We do agree that although families & children have been enjoying our hikes for the last 30 years, the trails are not to be taken lightly, these are the Cape Fold Mountains after all, and should be approached with respect. There are however numerous easier walks to do on the reserve should the mountain hiking trails prove to be too challenging.
We are pleased you enjoyed the peace and quiet at Pat Busch Reserve.

The receptionists and manager were very friendly and helpful. We stayed in Oak Cottage and the place was perfect for our needs! Nothing short and nice, clean and neat. There were also very few visitors so it was wonderfully quiet. The weather was quite warm but it was cool inside the cottage without any fans or air conditioners needed. Also lovely shade parking for vehicle right next to the most beautiful big fig tree. From the porch there are also beautiful views of mountains and lawns where we saw beautiful birds, bucks and a ferret. Also a beautiful big tree in the front garden under which we could visit in the shade. Pool area was also beautiful, neat with enough shade and chairs around it and close enough to cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back.

Rest for the soul
We stayed in Oak Cottage for 2 nights, it was lovely. Barbecued every night, and fished throughout the day and explored some of the hiking trails, we also visited some of Robertson's wine farms. Everything was delicious, nothing fancy, just a nice break without a sound of a car or city noise. The bathroom could use some attention and we didn't have barbecue tools and could at least borrow from the neighbours. Furthermore, I would recommend it to anyone who needs rest!

In the future please be advised that we do have an onsite reception office, with a shop, that is open on weekends, as well as an onsite manager who is available 24/7 on Whatsapp to assist our guests should they urgently need anything, we would've been happy to fix this issue right away :) We are also in the process of upgrading our units and have already started with Pine cottage which has recently been completely revamped.

Thank you for the comments, we are very happy that you enjoyed the reserve and apologize for not having DStv, but we decided to rather install complementary Wi-Fi on the reserve and not televisions, although we do see the benefit of keeping children entertained. There is however plenty of things for them to do on the reserve during the day from hiking, exploring, fishing, swimming, walking, bike riding, and generally just being kids out in nature on a secure & safe mountain reserve. We have planned to upgrade the bathrooms of our cottages and have already started with Pine Cottage which has recently been completely revamped and upgraded, the other units will follow soon.

A wonderful weekend getaway.
Our stay was wonderful. Als was perfect, except that the shower needs attention. The water coming out of the shower was very weak and cold, which made us have to bathe for an alternative.

Nie die standaard cottages nie, maar wel die res van die oord.

Not the standard cottages, but the rest of the resort.
Bathroom is very old and not up to standard, and the bunker beads are unstable. The bed in the room also did not have a feather duvet as specified on the website. The rest of the resort is very neat, will go back in the future, but not to the standard cottages.

Nice accommodation in lively landscape.
Pat Busch Mountain Reserve 's response
Dear Holger,
Thanks for the lovely comments, our Farmhouse Erika is very popular with big families and groups as it has 7 large bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, so it can accommodate 14 adults comfortably but closer to 20 with kids. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you onsite soon again.
All of the best from the Team at Pat Busch.

A wonderful peaceful break in nature with beautiful hiking trails.
Pat Busch is within easy hitting distance of the peninsula for a weekend getaway and as a weekend getaway it ticked all the boxes for us. A well-equipped little house with, among other things, a large teapot, nice big mugs, a decently sharp knife and a vegetable peeler, and a comfortable seating area inside and a sheltered outside patio and beautiful walking trails. We walked the Middelrug route and will definitely come back to do some of the other routes as well.

Dear Erina, thank you for your wonderful review and extremely helpful comments - we love it when our practical details are noticed and appreciated. The undercover stoeps are a recent upgrade, so we are very happy that you made good use of them. Keep well, we hope to see you soon again, from the Pat Busch Team

Very nice!
Everything was very pleasant. I just think the crockery can be better quality. Some of the plates are chipped and cracked. The mattresses can also be replaced.

Dear Tessa, thank you for your comments. We are actually in the process of checking and replacing all the crockery and cutlery in all our accommodation. We have already upgraded half of the mattresses and bedding, and within the next few months, we will be upgrading the other half of the mattresses (replacing so many beds and bedding is a hugely expensive task and takes time). We hope you will come visit again to see the difference :) All of the best from the Pat Busch Team.

Picturesque location.
Lovely relaxed, take a deep and free breath place with a really beautiful location. Really enjoyed it and will visit again. Next time just for a longer period of doing nothing but walking, reading, swimming and of course barbecuing. It's simple decor and rustic.

It was so peaceful and picturesque in nature.
Was pleasantly surprised with the environment and the cleanliness of the place. Wood and fire lighters are a good idea along with the ice in the freezer. Only take your own dishwashing detergent. Great playground for children while parents enjoy nature. Walking routes, and central to surrounding villages such as Ashton, Montagu, McGregor etc.

What a great place to be private. The tranquility is good for one's soul.
It's a wonderful place. There is no cell phone signal and you can hear all the animals clearly. Definitely a place where you can be private. Plus you can order all your meat from them and it's some of the tastiest beef I've ever tasted. Their 'burgers' and biltong are my favourite. Fantastic.

It was pleasant, but average.
Pat Busch Mountain Reserve 's response
Thank you for your review and feedback, Gretna. We are sorry the cottage did not meet your expectations. We have two different ranges of accommodation at Pat Busch Mountain Reserve, our standard more 'budget-friendly' options of which Fig is one, and then we have our exclusive range of accommodation (Nightjar & Hadeda cottages) which offer the most privacy with private gardens, outdoor hammocks and air-conditioning. Perhaps one of the exclusive cottages would have been better suited for your stay. We hope you will try one of these options in the future. Best Regards, Lindi Busch
