Description

Situated on the slopes of the majestic Magliesberg, The one-of-a-kind Donkey Dairy Kothuis - Plaaswerf Verblyf offers comfortably furnished self-catering accommodation on a working donkey farm, only 16 km from Hekpoort and the town of Magaliesburg. The property is powered by solar energy.

The farm is home to alpacas, miniature donkeys, horses, chickens, rabbits, chinchillas, goats and cows, and the accommodation is offered in a separate cottage located but near the main house.

Ideal for 2 adults and 2 children of 15 years and younger, the cottage has a private entrance, and comprises 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and a kitchenette. The bedroom is furnished with a double bed, as well as a sleeper couch for 2 children, and has a large walk-in closet. Free Wi-Fi and a TV with Netflix are also available.

The bathroom is fitted with a shower, toilet and basin. For convenience, linen, bath towels, toilet paper and a bar of natural, donkey-milk soap are provided. Guests please need to bring their own swimming towels.

The kitchenette is equipped with a 2-plate stove and oven, a microwave, a bar fridge-freezer, pots and pans, cutlery and crockery, tea- and coffee-making facilities, as well as an iron and ironing board. Complimentary coffee, tea, milk and home-baked rusks will be available upon arrival.

The cottage opens onto a verandah with a dining table, and outdoor braai and boma area with hammocks for guests who want to enjoy the starry sky, and a small private pool to cool down in. Covered parking is provided.

The Mini Farm Shop offers guests soft drinks, sweets, homemade jams and rusks, as well as the well-known Donkey Dairy products such as milk, soap and face creams.

Guests will have full access to the 34-hectare farm, and are welcome to interact with the farm animals and participate in farm duties such as feeding the baby goats. The farm offers a family-friendly hiking trail, Brayer's Eye, with the mountain donkeys and is 2 km long. Picnic blankets and backpacks for the hiking trail will also be provided. For romantic couples, a hike to Long Ears Lookout, will offer a lovely view of the Magaliesberg plains while enjoying a glass of sunset wine.
