Leaks. Jewel in the bush. Everything was clean and tidy and nothing was missing. Good reading material and coffee plunger were the best. Will definitely come back for a visit.

Lekke. Juweel in die bos. Alles was skoon en netjies en niks het kortgekom nie. Goeie leesstof en koffie plunger was die beste. Gaan beslis weer 'n draai kom maak.

Excellent quick getaway outside of the city. Beautiful home, with everything that you need. Quiet and serene with beautiful views. Would strongly advise using a bakkie, as roads are not adequate for cars. Hiking trails were beautiful along the riverside, but we got lost. Would definitely consider upgrading the markings. We got there after sunset, and there were no lights on inside or outside the house, even though we did advise of our arrival time. Would recommend leaving just one outside light on for late arrival. Value for money indeed!

Perfect getaway near Pretoria/Johannesburg if you are looking for peace and quiet. Lovely quiet, peaceful and unspoilt getaway. Perfect refreshment for the soul. The pet-friendly cottage was neat, clean, spacious, comfortable and with everything you need for a few days away from home. The surroundings are beautiful and the 3 dogs and I enjoyed our time on the walking trails that cover different terrains and areas. Can definitely recommend Buffalo Thorn. Suggestion: the walking trails may just need to be clearly marked again, because some parts are completely unmarked and you just have to go by feel. Communication via WhatsApp was good and prompt, but it would still be good to meet the owner in person upon arrival or departure.

Perfekte wegbreek naby Pretoria/Johannesburg as jy opsoek is na stilte en rus. Heerlike stil, rustige en ongerepte wegbreek. Perfekte lafenis vir die siel. Die troeteldier-vriendelike cottage was netjies, skoon, ruim, gerieflik en met alles wat jy benodig vir 'n paar dae weg van die huis. Die omgewing is pragtig en ek en die 3 honde het ons gate uit geniet op die staproetes wat verskillende terreine en areas dek. Kan Buffalo Thorn beslis aanbeveel. Voorstel: die staproetes moet dalk net weer duidelik gemerk word, want sommige dele is heeltemal ongemerk en mens loop maar op gevoel. Kommunikasie via WhatsApp was goed en flink, maar sal tog goed wees om die eienaar persoonlik te ontmoet met aankoms of vertrek.

Blissful and peaceful. Very peaceful place to rest. Very quiet and beautiful surroundings with lovely walking paths. Neat little house with everything you need.

Salig en rustig. Baie rustige plek om te rus. Baie stil en pragtige omgewing met heerlike wandelpaaie. Netjiese huisie met alles wat jy nodig het.

Excellent. It was truly a wonderful getaway. Clean and tidy and the team was ready to help with anything. The scenery is indescribable and I would highly recommend Buffalo Thorn for a getaway or for birdwatching enthusiasts. Get close to nature, not far from the city.

Voortreflik. Dit was voorwaar 'n wonderlike wegbreek. Skoon en netjies en die span was gereed om met enige iets te help. Die natuurskoon is onbeskryflik en ek sal Buffalo Thorn vir 'n wegbreek of vir voëlkyk-entoesiaste baie hoog aanbeveel. Kom naby die natuur, nie ver uit die stad nie.

Very nice place to recharge your soul. Hospitality is fantastic, very beautiful surroundings and the silence is wonderful. Fantastic hiking trails. Everything tidy in Mofifi chalet. Would recommend anytime.

Baie oulike plekkie om net weer siel te kan herlaai. Gasvryheid is fantasties, baie mooi omgewing en die stilte is wonderlik. Fantastiese staproetes. Alles netjies in Mofifi chalet. Sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel.

Quiet, beautiful and clean. Very nice rest and silence that one cannot buy, walking sticks and beautiful nature was a special experience. Accommodation was neat and well laid out, you don't need anything more. Dirt road (10.5 km) to accommodation is not intended for a low vehicle but is no reason not to visit Kokopelli Farm. Will definitely visit Kokopelli Farm again.

Rustig, mooi en skoon. Baie lekker rus en stilte wat mens nie kan koop nie, wandelroedtes en mooi natuur was 'n besondere ervaring. Verblyf was netjies en goed uitgelê, mens het niks meer nodig nie. Grondpad (10.5 km) na verblyf is nie bedoel vir 'n lae voertuig nie maar is geen rede om nie Kokopelli Farm te besoek nie. Sal sonder twyfel weer Kokopelli Farm besoek.

Beautiful and peaceful. Very beautiful and peaceful place. We went while it was raining, thus the 11 km dust road to Kokopelli was a challenge. Once there, it is absolutely amazing.
