A beautiful getaway just an hour away from Joburg. Hidden gem.

Love at first sight, I can't even describe the beauty of the scenery in words. It's a must see. We truly enjoyed our stay; the pictures aren't doing enough justice. Amelia is such an amazing host. From the moment we drove in, she welcomed us warmly into her space. Thank you for the fresh flowers .

A truly magical city escape!

What a magical place tucked away in the mountains! The Wildebeesthoek Nature Reserve was the perfect escape from Joburg. The cottage was perfectly equipped for a winter weekend stay with a fireplace to keep us warm. Lots of bird life right outside our windows, and a short walk out to the cosy bird hide treated us to some great wildlife sightings. It was a truly memorable stay from start to finish, and we look forward to visiting again! Thank you to Amelia, Rahim and the team for everything!

Jy rus heerlik! Die staproetes is fantasties. Het ook 'n hele paar nuwe voëls geleer.

Dit is 'n pragtige plek. Ontvangs was uitstekend! Dit is waarlik 'n "hidden gem". Alles is skoon en netjies! Fantastiese staproetes en voëlsbesigtiging.

Restful and peaceful, exactly what we were after.

We had a lovely time. Very picturesque and private setting. We were looking for a small getaway over a long weekend and the surrounding amenities, markets and activities were perfect for our stay.

Excellent place for a relaxed stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Wildebeesthoek Nature Reserve. The house was atmospheric, very clean, very well equipped and situated in a beautiful environment. We were welcomed with fresh flowers on the table. We love the birds and it was so nice to get the opportunity to read the names of the trees in the park and to meet giraffes and other animals during our walk. Our visit to the restaurant Honey Company was a real treat. We struggled with the red signet walk; for us pensioners, it was a bit of a struggle.

Loved it for a relaxing weekend. Not for kids, and no animals at the water hole.

Not really much for the kids to do. Never saw any animals at the water hole sadly. Lovely staff, perfect for relaxing, sleeping, and a bit of walking. Chalet was lovely. No TV was a problem for kids and rugby.

So 'n rustige mooi plek so naby aan Pretoria. Ek het baie lekker gebly, wens ek.

Dit was een van die mooiste plekkies wat ek nog gevind het, so netjies en skoon. Ons het ongelooflik lekker gebly. Dit voel asof jy regtig tussen die bome wakker word. Sal definitief hierdie plekkie aanbeveel vir enige iemand. Die gasheer was baie akkommoderend en hulpvaardig.

Ons nuwe go-to-plek.

Die plek was perfek. Foto's op die webwerf gee jou net 'n halwe idee van hoe dit lyk. Dit is 100 keer beter as jy eers daar is. Die huis en die area was silwerskoon en het baie spasie. Die kombuis het alles wat jy benodig. Die gasheer was altyd beskikbaar om te help.

Highly recommended. We can't wait to go back for more!

We had the most relaxing weekend in this very special place. The accommodation is outstanding with such amazing attention to detail in ensuring guests' comfort and the gardens are magnificent. There are two hikes onsite. We did the red route which was a little more difficult but the views are magnificent and it is really well signposted (except right at the end where we made our own way back!). Highly recommended. We can't wait to go back for more!

Besonderse wegbreek plekkie.

Die ontvangs deur Rahim was hartlik en die Treehouse is besonders mooi, ten volle toegerus en gemaklik. Ons was van oggend tot aand bederf met pragtige uitsig oor die tuin, eekhorinkies wat oral speel en 'n groot verskeidenheid voëlsoorte. Sommiges het sommer persoonlik kom kennis maak op die stoep. Hierdie blyplekkie word beslis aanbeveel en ons sal hulle binnekort weer besoek.

Special getaway spot.

The reception by Rahim was warm and the Treehouse is particularly beautiful, fully equipped and comfortable. We were spoiled from morning to night with a beautiful view of the garden, squirrels playing everywhere and a large variety of bird species. Some simply came to meet in person on the stoep. This place to stay is definitely recommended and we will visit them again soon.

Uitsonderlike ervaring in die paradys.

Die hartlike ontvangs telefonies en verwelkoming persoonlik deur Rahim het 'n wonderlike naweek ingelei. Die huis, in 'n fantastiese tuin, is baie gerieflik met alles wat mens nodig het. Beddens is uitstekend om 'n goeie nagrus te verseker. Ons het impala en koedoes gesien op die wandelpaadjies en meer geleer oor bome, wat met plaatjies geïdentifiseer is. Verskeie maatreëls laat mens veilig voel en die wonderlike stilte is ongelooflik, gegewe hoe naby dit aan die stad is.

Exceptional experience in paradise.

The warm reception by phone and welcome in person by Rahim ushered in a wonderful weekend. The house, in a fantastic garden, is very comfortable with everything one needs. Beds are excellent for ensuring a good night's rest. We saw impala and kudu on the trails and learned more about trees, which were identified with tags. Various measures make one feel safe and the wonderful silence is incredible, given how close it is to the city.

Ongelooflike ervaring op die mooiste plek!

Nader aan die natuur kan jy nie kom nie! Die staproetes kronkel deur die bos of teen die berg op waar jy sommer hier naby jou sebras en kameelperde en bokke sien! As jy 'n buite mens is wat van voëltjies kyk hou, gaan hierheen! Die huis binne is stylvol en so elegant. Die kaggel met jou 2 sakke gratis hout is verwelkomend. Die beddens slaap uiters lekker en die beddegoed het die heerlikste sagte gevoel en ruik so lekker! Daar is alles wat jy nodig het. en nog meer. Gefiltreerde water kraan in jou wasbak, groot moderne yskas, suiker en verwelkomings koffie. Die lieflike dek wat is dig teen die bome en jy kan ure sit en kyk hoe baljaar die eekhorings in die takke. Ek kan absoluut niks verkeerd van die plek sê of vind nie. Daar is wel nie 'n TV nie maar wel WiFi, so tieners mag dalk dit vervelig vind, maar vir ons wat dit hemels om net tyd saam te kon spandeer in die natuur. Ons gaan gou weer terug in die somer sodat ons daardie buitestort wat teen die berghang sit kan geniet! Baie geluk met julle uitstekende plek!

Incredible experience in the most beautiful place!

You can't get closer to nature! The hiking trails wind through the forest or up the mountain where you can see zebras, giraffes and goats right here close to you! If you are an outdoors person who likes bird watching, go here! The house inside is stylish and so elegant. The fireplace with your 2 bags of free wood is welcoming. The beds sleep extremely well and the bedding has the most deliciously soft feel and smells so good! There is everything you need. and even more. Filtered water tap in your sink, large modern fridge, sugar and welcome coffee. The lovely deck that is close to the trees and you can sit for hours and watch the squirrels frolic in the branches. I can't say or find anything wrong with the place. There isn't a TV but there is WiFi, so teenagers might find it boring, but for us it's heavenly to just be able to spend time together in nature. We'll be going back again in the summer so we can enjoy that outdoor shower sitting on the mountainside! Congratulations on your excellent place!

Pragtige plek.

Ons het in die Bird House oorgebly wat 'n pragtige, ruim en netjiese eenheid is. Die eenheid is teenaan die Magaliesberg met mooi natuurskoon. Dis heerlik stil en rustig en ons het ons verblyf baie geniet! Dis 'n ideale wegbreek plekkie.
