Ma Tala Tala offers an African bush retreat feel in the proximity of the City of Tshwane in Cullinan, close enough for weekend travel, but yet just far enough where guests can escape from the humdrum of city life. This hidden gem of a private wildlife reserve is near Dinokeng and Roodeplaat dam and allows guests to just have a private function, enjoy their dream wedding, host a conference, enjoy nature with the amazing wildlife of Africa or if you wish, just relax and savour the ambience and peace offered by Ma Tala Tala.

Accommodation is available in a variety of budget and hosting configurations, from tents to 12 en-suite chalets units and a 4-person suite. Ma Tala Tala further offers family accommodation in a 3-bedroom self-contained family unit for up to 8 persons and on the same property an additional 3 sleeper cottage for up to 4 persons with an unequalled view over Dinokeng. Campsites are also available on the premises.

Ma Tala Tala possesses an old-world elegance rarely found in this day and age. Thatch roof buildings consist of a lovely main building, a wedding chapel, Individual en-suite rooms and an alfresco facility that graces the countryside. An open-air Boma for up to 100 guests makes this venue ideal for braais or potjiekos and is particularly well supported by groups wanting to have a private function.

Additionally, this property has shared braai facilities, and Wi-Fi access and guests are afforded secure parking on the property.

"Not recommended."

As an instant hotel we expected comfort and leisure. Someones home offered for rent is what this is, someone lived here before and is now renting it as holiday home and we rated it poorly. This is the very first time I have left a review after any stay at a place and we have been all over. Being a middle class household we don't travel expensive at all so we are not posh and fancy people be any means. We booked at Ma Tala Tala because we love the bush and the old farm house vibe was appealing to us. On arrival we opened the door with the very unorganised set of keys none clearly marked. We were hit with a very horrible musty smell like the old smell and a house that had been left closed for years. The bread board was so worn and disgusting. None of the cutlery and dishes matched and some where bent and damaged. The beds were absolutely unacceptable. Our main room bed frame was so bad it was broken and you could see it on the floor under the bed. the furniture was so outdated its depressing. The main room door can't open because there is no key and it was chained closed with such a thick chain which is very worrying to guests. The 3rd room, otherwise labelled by our family as a dorm room or hospital room, the frame from the window was totally out of the window so it could just be pushed out. The curtains were all off their hooks in that room. We were very shocked to hear that the game drive costs R250 per person and all there is no game on the farm only thing we saw was 4 giraffe buck here and there and zebra or two, which was the highlight sadly and I love giraffes. We stayed 2 nights and after an absolutely horrible sleep in main room we moved to the 3rd room with our 2 kids to sleep on the spare beds hoping for a better night but the beds over all in the house are just horrible. The lounge couches have slashes on the arms. I found a old empty box of cigarettes under the main bed as it wasn't cleaned properly. These bedrooms are in desperate need of a make over and there are no head boards. The management when we arrived were very friendly and on departing at 09:35 to drop off the helper for cleaning the gentlemen was also very friendly. I find carpets in place for holiday inappropriate as we don't know the hygiene levels of them so that was horrible. Garden within the house was terrible red sand no effort has gone into trying to maintain it around the house area. The furniture around the house is very mismatched old damaged and just put there for space closure. Nothing is functional or working. The desk in the main rooms drawers are broken with no chair so what is the point. Room 3 had 4 peaces of different and old wood furniture that is terrible quality and some doors all broken or not functional. Please advise the owners they are not able to charge the amount they are charging if your stay isn't at a certain standard. We didn't feel safe at all in the home while there so we all had basically no sleep.
