A relaxing getaway from the busy city life. I had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful cabin nestled in the mountains! The views of the Lion and Safari Park were simply stunning. The cabin was cozy and well-equipped, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor patio with braai facilities was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. Highly recommend!

Very happy with the accommodation, everything went according to plan. We truly needed a weekend away, and this accommodation was amazing. This was the first time we had such an experience to be able to hear lions and other animals late at night and early in the mornings; it was really wonderful. I will suggest that they try and get an aircon in the rooms.

A hidden gem barely 40 minutes from Joburg. As advertised - easy to reach, peaceful location with great views. The cottage is clean. Well-equipped kitchenette. The bed is comfortable. Shower is good. Generally - all we needed for a few days away from Joburg and the rat race.

Fine. While I appreciate the security and the location of the place, online it was said to have a bathtub and it did not have it. When I asked the manager, I was told to take it up with the owner and provide a screenshot. It was pointless because he did not take the time to see the screenshot and address it with his boss as the person who is currently at the property. He shifted the responsibility, which was very unprofessional. The cottage wasn't clean to the T; it had spider webs in the bathroom. We were later accused of the noise, but when we asked, who is much closer to the cottage, he said he did not hear any noise. The place needs a modern revamp: the beds, the bedding, and even the furniture. We appreciate Zifa's help throughout our stay.

Hi, We’d like to clarify a few points to ensure future guests have accurate expectations. The cottage does not have access to the pool or jacuzzi, and this is not advertised anywhere in the listing. We always encourage guests to carefully review the listing details before booking to ensure the accommodation meets their needs. Regarding quiet hours (8 AM - 8 PM), as stated in the listing, our property is located within a nature reserve, and we aim to provide a peaceful, family-friendly environment for all guests. To maintain this atmosphere, we do not cater to groups of friends or parties, as noise disturbances have been a concern in the past, as it was this time. The cottage is cleaned daily, but as it is situated in the bush, occasional spiderwebs or other natural elements may appear. This is part of the charm of staying in a stone cottage in nature, rather than a modern city apartment.

Relaxing, comfortable, woodland visit. Great clean and safe unit, my wife and I had a great time. Ideal break from the city, nice campfire and relaxation in the forest with the sounds of nature and the lions nearby. Zifa is an asset and helpful, respects privacy and stands ready for any questions or help. We will definitely visit here again.

We'll definitely see you again soon. Had a great time. Everything was as described. We just couldn't use the TV or functions on it. Would definitely recommend to anyone and we will be back. Loved hearing the lions roaring early in the morning and at night. Prime location.
