Wonderful forest experience with everything just right. This farm is beautiful with the river running through it all. You have the freedom to drive and walk around to explore. Incredibly beautiful 6 km hiking trail and many paths to watch wildlife and enjoy nature. Podica is 3 units next to each other with beautiful river views. The chalets are beautiful with everything you need, an outdoor and indoor shower and a lovely braai area. River Cottage is private and very beautiful by the river. Here you can enjoy fauna and flora to your heart's content and relax very well. Communication from the hosts is excellent and precise! Took very good care of us and spoiled us with our wedding anniversary. Can highly recommend.

Heerlike boservaring met alles net reg. Hierdie plaas is pragtig met die rivier wat regdeur loop. Mens het die vryheid om self rond te ry en te stap om te verken. Ongelooflik mooi 6 km staproete en baie paadjies om wild te kyk en die natuur te geniet. Podica is 3 eenhede langs mekaar met mooi rivieruitsig. Die chalets is pragtig met alles wat jy benodig, 'n buite- en binne stort en 'n heerlike braai-area. River Cottage is privaat en baie mooi by die rivier. Hier kan jy fauna en flora geniet na hartelus en erg lekker ontspan. Kommunikasie van die gashere is uitstekend en presies! Het baie mooi na ons omgesien en lekker bederf met ons huweliksherdenking. Kan ten sterkste aanbeveel.

Quaint accommodation in an idyllic setting. It was lovely. The accommodation is quaint, with wooden countertops, cement floors, and mosquito netting that creates the illusion that one is sleeping in a four-poster bed. The setting is idyllic to the extent that not even the dulcet sound of the traffic in the distance can detract from it. Combine this with a warm welcome on arrival, our neighbours, the woodpeckers’ watchful gaze, and the stars (oh man!), and I highly recommend this as a destination not only for the couch potato who wants to lie in the hammock and read a book, but also for the energised bunnies who are willing to traverse the rock face to see the cave paintings.

It was lovely. If you like being in the bush with nature all around, beautiful scenery, and no pesky cell reception or WiFi to bother you, this place is for you.

Beautiful gem in the Bushveld. Would recommend it anytime! Beautiful gem in the Bushveld. What you see is what you get. You can feel the tranquility. The outdoor shower is heavenly. The host and hostess are lovely people. We would recommend Palala River Cottages anytime.

Pragtige juweel in die Bosveld. Sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel! Pragtige juweel in die Bosveld. Wat jy sien is wat jy kry. Mens kan aan die rustigheid vat. Die buitestort is hemels. Die gasheer en gasvrou is pragtige mense. Ons sal Palala River Cottages enige tyd aanbeveel.

Wonderfully quiet breakaway in the bushveld. Comfortable chalets right next to the river, with wonderful service from Carlita and her team. Thank you.

Quiet. The right getaway from the city noise. Will definitely stay there again. Hans and Carlita went out of their way to welcome people. Especially with Eskom power not wanting to play along. Hans knows his bushveld and the game drive was worth it. Too bad we didn't get to see all the animals, but what we did see looked good. You two are a couple in a thousand. Thank you for your effort and friendliness. Take care.

Rustig. Die regte wegbreek van die stad se lawaai. Sal beslis weer daar oornag. Hans en Carlita het uit hul pad gegaan om mense te verwelkom. Veral met Eskom krag wat nie wou saam speel nie. Hans ken sy bosveld en die wild rut was die moeite werd. Jammer dat ons nie al die diere kon sien nie, maar dit wat ons wel gesien het, lyk goed. Julle twee is 'n paartjie duisend. Dankie vir julle moeite en vriendlikheid. Pas julle op.

Have a great time and enjoy the tranquility. It was our wedding anniversary weekend and the peace and quiet was just what we needed. Thank you to your team for your hospitality! We really enjoyed it.

Baie lekker gerus en die rustigheid geniet. Dit was ons huweliksherdenkingnaweek en die stilte en rustigheid is net wat ons nodig gehad het. Baie dankie vir julle span vir julle gasvryheid! Ons het dit vreeslik geniet.
