84 guests' feedbackVery friendly welcome and very hospitable. Everything and more that one needs!
We loved the peace, the old decor and the place was clean and comfortable. It felt like home. Thank you.
It was breathtaking!
The place is beautiful and peaceful, and the hostess goes out of her way to pamper guests. Would highly recommend the place for a stay to see sights around Pretoria.
No comments - we enjoyed our short stay.
Very neat. Lots to do surrounding. Beautiful farm with beautiful Bonsmara cattle.
Friendly reception and effort made when there was no power.
For a peaceful weekend getaway near Rietvlei Nature Reserve, Elandsfontein Farm is a must-stay. It was delicious and we will definitely use them again. The owner received us kindly and was very helpful from the beginning when the reservation was made until departure.
It is a very nice place, the hostess is very friendly, we felt very much at home, thank you again.
Everything you need was there. Beautiful surroundings. Love the woofs. One always brought a leaf to say hello. Within driving distance of shops. Can only see that if it rains that road will be a nightmare.
The farmer showed us around and allowed us to assist him.
Nice home away from home place.
Misunderstanding between the host who thought that one doesn't appreciate farm life and instead expected a 24h hotel service. Forgetting that sometimes it's just about ensuring no trespassing of security protocols keeping in mind the farms incident in South Africa.
We had a wonderful rest! The detail of the cottage, from the 'homey feel', to the biscuits, milk and nut coffee, as well as chocolates, bath soap and candles was a wonderful treat for us. Already thinking when we will be able to come again. Can't believe 50 minutes drive we are on a lovely farm and feel far away from the busy city.
So peaceful and quiet.
It is such a beautiful place. Very neat! We really enjoyed it.
Truly a beautiful cottage, neat and well furnished. Peaceful surroundings and the type of place to just find rest for your soul. The service was professional and an effort was made to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Will definitely go again.
It was our second visit to the farm, but the first time the children were there. We were all so comfortable and my children thoroughly enjoyed the farm - Ninell was a fantastic hostess as usual. She and Hoffman made the children feel so at home on the farm and it gave us peace of mind to fully enjoy and relax the weekend. The children often ask when we are going again and we are all ready for the next visit. Ninell and Hoffman, thank you very much for allowing us to enjoy this special place again, we will see you again soon.
What a gem! Quiet, safe, place is very well equipped and with so many small details. Definitely a must if you want a quick getaway from the city. 5 out of 5.
We had a lovely time at Elandsfontein farm - it is the perfect getaway for a weekend's rest from daily life in the city. Close enough to be easily accessible but far enough to feel like you are truly on holiday, the cottage is very comfortable and well stocked. Hoffman and Ninell were amazing hosts, and we will definitely be returning when we need another break.
This place is a secret gem! We were received so welcome and from the first moment at ease and relaxed. This wonderful place gave us the opportunity to recharge, we will definitely visit longer next time.
My husband and I enjoyed it as a breakaway for our anniversary. Home away from home. Will be back with fam as well.
We only stayed 2 nights and couldn't go hiking because it rained a lot. We were kindly received and it was very quiet and peaceful so close to the city. Will stay there again. Thank you.
Excellent, friendly service, and a discount! Thank you.
The reception was friendly and sincere. Just like the Farm with its beautiful nature. Everything was clean and tidy and incredibly beautiful. Definitely worth the visit and for sure we will have a family visit there next time. Elandsfontein will definitely see us again soon.
Everything you expect for self-catering accommodation.
Dit was heerlik om daar te wees - baie dankie. Wens ons kon langer bly en jy sien ons verseker weer in die toekoms.
Elandsfontein has a lovely, peaceful farm atmosphere and is perfect for a quick weekend getaway close to Pretoria East. The house is well furnished with everything one could need. The fireplace was a winner against the cold winter evenings. Ninell's attention to detail in the house was remarkable. We really enjoyed the time at Elandsfontein.
Friendly hostess with loving attention to detail!
The plane tree cottage is beautiful and well equipped. The farm is conveniently located close to the city, but it feels like you are miles from the city. The dirt road is in reasonable condition and passable with a regular Sedan car. Ninell is a warm sociable hostess, but gives you the necessary space. Highly recommended!
Come rest and relax. Located nearby.
It was incredibly fun. I was so kindly received first by two cute woofies and then by Ninell. Everything was perfect. Clean and tidy. The place is ideal if you want to get away from the city's noise. It's peaceful.
Elandfontein Farm was exactly what we had hoped for - a relaxing break on a farm not far from home. The cottage, although rustic on the outside, is a beautiful farm home with everything we needed. It was perfectly clean and well looked after with a very homely feel. It is secure and we felt very safe. The hosts were friendly and informative and were available if we needed anything but we also felt like we had privacy. We were able to explore the farm and the neighbouring farms and we had some lovely walks and bike rides. We felt very comfortable and able to just enjoy the surroundings and be outdoors. Our kids had the best weekend! Thanks so much to Ninell and Hofman. We would love to return sometime and experience this lovely farm in spring or summer too.
Friendly staff and two beautiful dogs immediately made us feel welcome. Love the old family photos, sketches and beautiful antique furniture that give peace of mind and stylish character to the place. Treated with farm milk and chocolate. Hoffman signed his book for us, which will be a very special souvenir of our stay. Famous author. Thank you.
We have stayed here several times and this place never disappoints.
We were surprised with the beautiful private unit we booked and we would have loved to stay longer!
Well worth a visit, highly recommended.
Peaceful, nice people, central.
Everything was great.
Very nice, clean and comfortable. With lots of extras, beautiful flowers, refreshments and a great atmosphere.
Excellent service. We needed to check in earlier and we were accommodated. The place was very clean and is kid friendly as we have two small children. We highly recommend this beautiful farm.
Definitely a place we'll visit again. It has a good location for a quick getaway with family, a partner or friends. The peacefulness was just what we needed this weekend.
The reception was very friendly and the owners made sure that nothing was lacking. The place is very neat.
Thank you very much for a nice place, very neat and quiet. Just what we lacked!
Very cute, cosy cottage. Really thought of everything. Peaceful atmosphere in Gauteng.
Typical farm getaway!
Excellent accommodations and very clean and neat.
The accommodation itself was spotless and tidy. The rooms are nicely and tastefully decorated. Everything we could possibly need and more was there and made available to us. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. There is approximately 4 km of dirt road that has to be driven to the farm and we would have appreciated it if we had been made aware of this ahead of time as we would then have made better preparations about which vehicle we would be driving with. At check-out time there was confusion about where and to whom we should hand over the key and we stood for a while knocking and calling before someone came to take the key. Otherwise a very nice experience and good value for money. We will definitely go there again.
Nice stay. Few technological challenges. Host very friendly and helpful.
Hospitable, clean, tidy very cute place, owners very friendly and helpful. Thanks for the bottle of sweets and biscuits. Recommendation - there are no directions to Elandsfontein, this may help.
Was very pleasant, would just prefer that they clean out trash cans if you stay there more than one day. So is wood for the next day. Elandsfontein is very beautiful and private and I will use their premises again. The children were very pleased with their stay. Thank you very much.
Thank you for having us. We enjoyed the stay a lot.
A very nice, clean, tidy and cozy place to get away from it all. Very peaceful and quiet and an incredibly friendly and helpful hostess! Thank you very much for the nice coffee, milk and biscuits!
Very clean and tidy. Friendly reception and shown the ropes! Could even drive back and forth for unplanned hospital visit times without cutting short the rest time so conveniently the farm is located. Thank you very much for the assistance and fresh milk that was available during our visit to you!
Excellent arrangements from the owners. Well equipped with everything needed and more.
I can highly recommend Elandsfontein. You are on a farm but so close to the city. Facilities are more than adequate and there's a lot of space. Was delightful.
I had business I needed to do in Pretoria, and it was conveniently close to my destination to get it done.
Everything was perfect. It felt like I was walking into my own house on the farm. Elandsfontein will see us again for sure.
Had a great stay and would love to come again.
Fantastic and very clean, spacious room / apartment.
Lovely place! Owners are hospitable and very friendly. We and our children really enjoyed our stay. Elandsfontein is recommended to anyone who needs to visit the city, but doesn't want to experience the hustle and bustle. Delicious!
Friendly service. A special welcome and unexpected goodies to feast on. We wanted peace and quiet, and that is what we got.
See stars.
Very nice place to stay.
Friendly, helpful staff always willing to assist when needed. Homely, quite environment to rejuvenate your soul. The well equipped self-catering cottage allows you to take that well deserved brake you needed in a landscape with a well maintained lawn abounding in trees.
This was so well worth the visit! I am going there next weekend again!
The guest house is fantastically furnished, is very homely and the hosts are very easy-going people.
A pleasant stay with lovely, serene gardens.
We had a great time!
Beautifully beautiful and peaceful atmosphere. Cottage is truly beautiful. Thank you so much for letting us stay there!
Arrangements confirmed in advance, directions and contact persons sent. Was there immediately to receive us. Stunning place.
Elandsfontein Farm was very helpful and friendly. Made sure we got the spot. It is very nice and clean inside and out. Very convenient indeed. Will use it again.
Will surely always stay there. Everything you need is there. It's unbelievably beautiful and a must to stay over. Couldn't ask for better.
See stars.
Will definitely book again. Beautiful farm, large lawn for the kids to play.
Friendly service, beautiful cottage, comfortable and tidy with tasteful decor.
We loved the house. A very authentic, peaceful farm atmosphere. Unbelievably nice and I'll recommend Elandsfontein Farm anytime. Thanks so much.
We had a really lovely few days at Elandsfontein Farm. A little difficult to find as we have a hire car without GPS! However, it was worth the find. The cottage is beautiful and exceptionally clean (I have high standards!). It is equipped with everything you need and the use of the picnic items was most welcome! We spent two days at the amazing nature reserve (next to the farm). It was so quiet (weekday visit!) and enjoyed this so much! I wish we had found the farm many years ago - this would have prevented us staying in Jburg centre as you could quite easily explore all tourist attractions from here! If you like peace and quiet and don't like your holiday with other people and their noisy children then this is the place! Simply perfect!
It was very nice.
Enjoyed the quiet atmosphere so close to Jhb. Owners went out of their way to make the place very comfortable. Food and drinks available at good prices. Excellent place to stay and worth trying out. Very good value for little money.
We enjoyed the few days on Elandsfontein Farm and we definitely recommend this place. We will stay here again anytime. The cottage has a nice homely vibe. (Mabye you add a separate door for the shower next to the basin, so that it forms a private little space.)
Stunning little house with nice fireplace and lots of wood.
Friendly and hospitable experience. There is enough space and freedom. It's a very neat and peaceful place. I will visit a lot more.
It was a pleasant weekend, it was just too short. We had a nice walk and rest - the owners are very friendly. We will definitely visit there again.
