Wonderful stay!
Very peaceful, beautiful walking paths.
Thank you very much, for all the effort and for sharing this beautiful paradise with us.
We had a wonderful stay. The house is beautifully furnished and the view is exceptional. Completely safe. Many birds seen on the walking paths. Will definitely go back again as we enjoyed every moment.
Mark was well organised and ensured we found the right location and was on hand to welcome us. (He also has an avo farm so we got a few bags at a very good price!)
Magical Magoebaskloof. Turn off your phone and recharge! Always a delight. Fourth visit and not the last.
What a lovely getaway. Quiet, private and very well equipped.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Had a wonderful stay. Nice hot shower. Kitchen well equipped. Access easier with a van or SUV.
Very nice and beautiful place. Very complete.
Great place to relax. Go for a walk in the gorge, watch birds, have a barbecue and read a book. Then drive around looking for other treasures in Magoebaskloof. Great getaway spot.
It was a wonderful experience. It was our honeymoon. Quiet in nature, plenty of bird life and rest. I can definitely recommend it.
Great place to stay, amazing scenery, overwhelming silence. Cottages very well equipped.
The stay was absolutely wonderful. The place has everything and was squeaky clean. The cottage is nestled in the Magoebaskloof valley and has great bird life as well as a nearby waterfall/stream that gave it an even more calming atmosphere. The outside bath was so relaxing and the braai area was such a great place to kuier. We loved our stay here and will definitely be back in the future! All the information was well laid out, Mark was super friendly and our stay was the perfect breakaway.
We had a wonderful stay in the Narina Cottage. We were a bit unlucky with the weather for our short stay and didn't have the opportunity to fully explore all the walks. It's so wonderful that the cottages are deep in the forest, really peaceful. The birding was fantastic and we managed to see the Narina Trogon. The cottage was very comfortable and homely, clean and well-equipped. I would highly recommend it. The host kept us well informed of load shedding, etc. I really hope to come back again soon and spend a longer period in magical Magoebaskloof.
Our third stay at Magoebaskloof Birders' Cottages and again it was just amazing. If you need to get away from life, this is the perfect place. There are so many small, thoughtful details everywhere. It will certainly not be our last.
Unit was well appointed and lacked nothing. WiFi was a bonus, thankfully no TV. For birders this is an awesome spot, there is a bird hide and several trails on the farm, so plenty to do. An added bonus at the accommodation is the small container of wild bird seed. You are able to sit on the patio and watch the Red-backed Mannikin, Swee Waxbills, Dusky Flycatchers (nesting nearby) and a host of other awesome bird life feasting on the seeds and bathing in the small water bath, perfect for photography. The outside bath and (donkey) heated hot tub were brilliant!
Lovely walking paths along the river and waterfalls. There is a lot of bird life at the cottage. The nature is special - green, with many trees and mountains.
Wonderful and rested.
Perfect little house with everything you need. Very comfortable and there were walks that could be done closeby. Great views of the forest from the house and lots of birdlife around.
Spent 2 nights at Trogon Cottage. Wonderful place and very peaceful. We have even been visited by two Kynsna Turacos.
Trogon exceeded our wildest expectations! Everything we needed was there. It almost felt like our own home. Everything was exquisite and showed high quality. It is not only a beautiful environment with many birds, it is also a very romantic place. There is a fireplace in the cottage, king size bed, outdoor bath (lovely private), spacious shower and candles on the edge of the indoor bath! Excellent provision has been made so that load shedding does not sour the stay. The garden and surroundings were visible from everywhere in the house with large windows in all rooms. It is also very safe. We will definitely go there again!
The cottages are excellently equipped with everything one needs. Lovely walking trails and access to the gorge's nature.
The Cottage was equipped with everything you can think of. It was so special, for that we have to say; thank you. The advance communication and road directions by the owner were just as special. We would definitely recommend Birders' Cottages!
Perfect place to take it easy and relax.
Really enjoyed my stay which opened up more plans to visit around the country.
The house is complete with everything you need. Als neat and tasteful. If I needed anything or had any questions it was never a problem. It's wonderful to be able to sleep in the depths of the forest like this.
This is the most beautiful place. So many little things have been thought of and the place is very well appointed. Will definitely go again. If you want to rest and find yourself again, the net is the place, it's like heaven on earth.
Beautiful scenery and hiking trail.
Robin Cottage was incredibly well-equipped with everything you could need. The outdoor bath or shower is a must! Walk through the forest listening to bird calls or just relax and take in the beautiful scenery.
Nice little place in the heart of Magoebaskloof. Great for any keen bird watcher or nature lover.
Well equipped cottage. The owner really thought of everything that might be needed. The house was very neat and comfortable. The environment was very peaceful, and we were not aware of our neighbors.
The Magoebaskloof Birders' Cottages are particularly suitable for bird watchers. Someone who does not watch birds at all can enjoy the forest and do hiking trails.
Robin cottage was very comfortable for our purposes. We loved the easy access to the walks in the forest. Great spot for birding. We also really enjoyed exploring the area with all it has to offer. It was a chilly weekend so the fireplace was a big plus. Hopefully, we will be back again soon.
It was indescribable! All the smallest details. So much more than expected.
Suitable for the nature lover who just wants to rest too. The hiking trails are great, the bird life excellent and the service from the owner the best. Mark went out of his way to make our birding experience the best it could be. The cottage has more than what is basically needed - even during load shedding we were not left in the dark!
It is so calm and peaceful. There are incredibly beautiful walking paths on the premises with the most beautiful water stream and waterfalls. Definitely the place to be if you need to escape from the busy city life.
Fantastic break away, close to nature and extra special cottage. Very well equipped, with everything and more. Will definitely visit again, thank you.
Very neat and private in the natural beauty. The outdoor pool was a highlight. The bird life and walking path are beautiful.
Very private and beautiful.
Comfortable, spacious house with comfortable beds. Beautiful nature and many hiking trails in the native forest. Well a lot of "pepper tick" ticks! Lovely outdoor shower even in winter. Good provision for lights during load shedding.
Was damn nice just had a lot of rain. The view is beautiful, owner very nice and friendly.
Heart of Magoebaskloof. Off the beaten track, private, secluded. Amazing forest and nature short walks. Accommodation offers everything needed for self catering. Clean, neat and functional. Booing online seamless, check in smooth, no frills or fuss. What a delight. Will return,.
My type of place. Not modern, but more than expected, especially those of us who work in such an industry. Thank you very much.
This was our second visit and will absolutely not be our last. Such a special place!
Nature akoon and waterfall with birds, fresh air, no TV a bonus for us, outside nice walk through forest. Foggy and rainy that's what we wanted. The owner kept us informed about rain and the roads good service. Great hiking trails.
Beautiful surroundings, the cottage is private and very nicely furnished!
We had a magnificent experience together and within nature away from any daily life. Thank you.
The Trogon Cottage in which we stayed is very well equipped with everything you need for luxury self-catering accommodation. The fireplace, which can also be used for a barbecue, is quite handy, especially if it's cold and wet outside and you want to barbecue. It is deep in the Magoebaskloof and the setting is absolutely fantastic with beautiful views and quite a few walking paths for some exercise. Can highly recommend it.
What a beautiful place among the mountains! Total tranquility, in beautiful nature. There are short walking paths along the river to waterfalls, as well as in the yellowwood forest to where you can look out over the farm. The cottage has everything one could need and more, not to mention the outdoor bath and plunge pool to cool your feet in after a morning's walk. Huisie is also equipped to operate without Eskom power if necessary. There are also more than enough attractions in the immediate vicinity.
This was exactly what we needed for our anniversary weekend getaway. Sure it was a bit rainy but the scenery, the extra thought that went into extras. It was super awesome, I am going to make a plan to go again soon. We absolutely loved it!
The Birders Cottages are the perfect getaway to escape the rush of every day life. The most beautiful environment and comfortable cottage. Definitely visiting again soon.
It was the perfect destination to go and relax. The outdoor bath is definitely a big attraction and worth it.
Beautiful birdlife around your private cottage with a lovely outdoor pool with enough hot water, and enough hot tub! You can walk and breathe clean air on the many hiking trails. You are completely private, but willing help is just a phone call away. For sure a place to go back to again and again.
We really enjoyed the stay in Robin's Cottage. The house is well equipped. The dirt road into the accommodation was in pretty good condition, our Polo was able to maintain it well. You feel like you are really hiding in nature. The outdoor bathroom was a favorite! Will definitely go out of our way to visit Magoebaskloof again.
Deep in the forest with many birds around you. Can sit in the bath and look at the trees and birds. Wonderful location. Very private. Host welcomed us personally. Coffee tray was much appreciated as we flew from Cape Town and didn't really have groceries. The dirt road to the cottage is quite bad and it was difficult to get there with a small rental car - you should definitely have a vehicle with high ground clearance. But definitely value for money.
We had the most amazing stay. Mark is such a great host. Trogon cottage is absolutely beautiful. Will visit again without a doubt.
This was not our first visit to Magoebaskloof Birders' Cottages and certainly not our last. Rest and peace for the soul.
I come here at least once a year. The beauty and peacefulness is good for my soul. Love the amenities of any of the lodges.
The large windows around the house invite the natural beauty in. The kitchen is equipped with everything needed and the indoor fireplace/braai makes it perfect for colder days. The outdoor bath is a luxurious tranquility. Mark is helpful and friendly.
Of all the holiday accommodation we have stayed at, we have not come across accommodation as well equipped as this one. Attention is given to the finest details and everything is in its place. The location is incredible, with exceptional views over the valley. The owner was also extremely helpful. Although we never felt unsafe, we (coming from the Capital of Crime) did wonder a bit about our safety. I think if the sliding door could be extra secured, people would be more relaxed. But with all that said we would definitely stay here again.
The owner did his best to solve the Eskom poor electricity supply and response. Warm water from the donkey morning and evening! The cottage was clean inside but cheaply renovated - you can live with that. Outside the rondavel and rusted window panes are a sight for sore eyes. The small splash pool looks like a dirty fish pond. Low profile cars will not make it on the dirt road to the cottage.
Very peaceful with outdoor shower and bath, beautiful butterflies and scenery.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thanks. We walked all of the trails and also took your advice on where to eat out and other areas to visit for birding. Great getaway
Can 1000% recommend Birders' Cottage. We stayed in the Trogon Cottage for two people. The host did not miss anything and the cottage is very well prepared and setup nothing was overseen. 1st time ever I stayed in a cottage where even bodywash and bubble bath was provided and also insect repellent, clean towels, enough fire wood firelighters and matches etc, even bird seed for the wild birds (awesome). The garden is beautiful with spectacular views and other surroundings are stunning. We are planning too visit the cottage again as our son is now living and working in Magoebaskloof! Well done Mark we will meet you again soon!
Beautiful place. Very private and romantic. Everything one would need. Lovely walking trails and excellent birdlife. Will definitely go again.
Very beautiful, like a fairy tale.
This was the fourth time I have stayed in the Trogon Cottage. This time my wife was there with me. She particularly enjoyed the bird life. Also the fireplace was an absolute winner. Will come stay again. Mark, thank you also for the nice avo's we were able to buy from you.
Gem of a place, will return every year!
This was our second visit to Birders' Cottages, this time in another unit, and once again we were blown away by the breathtakingly beautiful views, the bird life and the walking trails. We brought my parents along this time, it was their first visit to the Limpopo province and also to Magoebaskloof and they very much enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend this place over and over and over again.
A lovely place in the gorges, peaceful and quiet. Walking/hiking routes are easy and not too far. Lots of birds to identify. The house is comfortable and very well furnished with enough water (and hot water) and everything you could possibly need. Plus even more. We were kindly received by Mark, the owner. We were there for 4 nights and can recommend the place. Everything is nice and clean. Would love to visit Birders' Cottages again in the future.
Beautiful accommodation situated high up on the mountain. Totally private. Outside baths a winner. Very well equipped. High clearance vehicle recommended. Nice hiking trails on the farm. We will go again.
Ons kon heerlik rus en het elke oomblik geniet in die mooi natuurskoon! Die bad is 'n wenner!
We aimed for a tranquil place where we could relax in peace and the spot had absolutely met our expectations. We had no worries and the location is absolutely private. Definitely a recommendation for someone who just wants to relax.
The accommodation was first class, extremely comfortable. The scenery is incredible, absolutely breathtaking. We highly recommend this place to anyone who is tired and needs rest.
It was definitely one of the most beautiful places my husband and I have ever visited. The cottage is equipped with everything you could need. The lovely bath in the garden was one of the highlights of the stay. There are many beautiful hiking trails to do and the natural beauty is something to experience.
We recommend them to people who want to get away from the city. There are hiking trails to follow and the surrounding area offers plenty to do. 10/10!
We enjoyed it a lot. Will go again just for the scenery!
Very beautiful, private and in the middle of the forest.
Must go with a four-wheel drive vehicle, a bit remote, very nice and peaceful stroll and barbecue, surrounded by the most beautiful nature. No TV for disturbance. Self catering well equipped.
Was very quiet so one could relax. The house is well equipped and the view is beautiful.
Magoebaskloof Cottages are fully equipped and located in the most special of places. The setting is beautiful, and the unit is private and incredibly comfortable to stay in.
Value for money. Very beautiful and peaceful. Amazing owners.
One of the nicest cottages we've stayed in. Amazing location and views of the surrounding mountains and forests. Abundant bird life, so peaceful and tranquil. A little piece of paradise Where you can test and recharge. The cottage is brilliantly equipped with everything you need.
Unique environment - a perfect balance between, body, mind and soul.
The service I received from the moment I booked my accommodation, before my arrival, on arrival and after my stay was out of this world. I have never experienced such professional service. The accommodation was a pleasant surprise. It was homely and cosy and exceptionally clean and stocked with quite a few extras to make your stay comfortable. The location and setting of the accommodation is out of this world, the cottage has a view of the valley below and the mountains around you situated a dense forest and the sound of the running river water. If you need a place to relax and peace of soul then this is for you, then there is quite a few walking trails if you feel to recon the area.and take in the beauty of the area. The entrance road to the accommodation is narrow and be warned if the road is wet due to rains you might have a problem at certain steep incline but there are concrete strips which helps a lot. Without a doubt a worthwhile visit and a excellent night-stop to break your journey into the Lowveld.
We stayed in the Robin Cottage. Lovely and peaceful. The cottage is fully equipped with lots of extras and we really enjoyed the stay!
Wonderful and peaceful.
Trogon Cottage is a wonderful place to rest. It is close to hiking trails and other attractions, yet it offers silence and closeness to nature. The outdoor pool provides stargazing in an unusual but incredible way. We will definitely go back.
Fully equipped, beautiful surroundings, breathtaking hiking trails, beautiful view.
The cottage had everything one could possibly need for a lovely stay and more. The owners went out of their way to make things easy and enjoyable for us without being a nuisance. The environment is breathtaking and the nature is just wow! Very central and close to everything. I would definitely recommend Magoebaskloof Birders' Cottages to anyone who can climb the pass.
This weekend was a very much needed getaway for two very tired individuals who live very busy lives with two small children. It was my husbands birthday and I must say we enjoyed the weekend thoroughly! We had soft rain the whole of Saturday but that did not stop us from having a nice and hot bath in the most beautiful outside bath in the rain! If we get sick it would be worth it! We also did some of the trail in the rain and I must say I won't do it any other way! It was the most beautiful nature scenes I have ever come across in my life! Can I come live there permanently? I just want to say thank you from two very tired parents we are now recharged and ready for the last few months of this year! The road to the cottages are not that bad at all, I stress we would have trouble getting out because all of the rain and we drive a quite low car but we had absolutely no trouble at all!
Trogan is a beautiful little place, ideal for two people. Incredibly well equipped with everything you need and more. Definitely worth it!
It was incredibly peaceful and relaxing at the Trogon Cottage. The facilities in the Cottage are extremely neat and in a typical farm theme. The wooden geyser teaches you to be patient with the hot water, but it is still sufficient. We just realized that the path to Trogon Cottage might be more difficult for normal vehicles than for 4x2 or SUVs but a competent driver will be able to master it with a little patience.
It is a very nice place and we would like to stay there again for a few nights in December 2018. Certainly not for everyone, but if you work in the city every day, this is the place for you to go rest.
Thank you so much for such a lovely getaway in the mountains. The cosy fireplace, the braai overlooking the mountains and the outdoor bath were a few highlights of a stay. The kitchen was very well stocked. The staff were friendly and helpful and made sure the donkey was lit every morning and afternoon to ensure the water was always nice and warm. The walks around the property were also very lovely and well signposted.
The additional extras such as swimming towels, wood charcoal, make the stay comfortable. Entries about the walking routes helped a lot. I really appreciated the directions to avoid the people and dogs.
What a peaceful place with adequate facilities. To walk in nature and hear birds was wonderful, we enjoyed it very much. Will visit again.
The Trogon Cottage where I stayed is really well equipped with everything you might need for luxury self-catering. The fireplace doubles as a braai, which was quite handy, especially when it's cold and wet outside. The area is absolutely breathtaking with beautiful views and hiking trails for a bit of exercise. I've already stayed there twice and would stay there again.
We really enjoyed it and would definitely like to go back. Question: is it a cold splash pool or is it heated as well?
Magoebaskloof Birders' Cottages is a jewel of a place where the cute Trogan Cottage, the fresh air and the breathtaking scenic beauty will transform you're stay in a "I want to stay here forever" feeling. It was definitely the first visit of a lot more. It truly is the perfect place to relax and strengthen marriage and family ties.
We only stayed the night, it was much to short! Magoebaskloof Birder's Cottages has everything you need ... beautiful nature, privacy, tidiness, romantic setting, attention to detail. Next time we will definitely stay longer! The large tub outside in the bush in the moonlight under the twinklings stars was heavenly!
It's a wonderful getaway for a couple or a family. A piece of paradise that allows you to relax and forget the hustle and bustle of busy city life. Will definitely go again.
Good accommodation, very private.
We had a lovely stay at Birders’ Cottage where we stayed in the Targon Cottage. The owner (Mark) looked after our luggage while we did a 2 day hiking trail (thank you Mark). We really enjoyed and appreciated the outdoor shower. The gardens are beautiful and full of life.
The accommodation is very nice and the area is very tranquil to just relax and rest. The house is very well-equipped with everything that you need and more!
We were 4 adults who had a wonderful time in this beautiful environment for 4 days. Birder's Cottage is very special and is indeed like a nest in a tree. Nature is omnipresent! The amenities and facilities in the house are excellent: the donkey hot water system is great and brings back many memories and works great! The outside barbecue, the inside (living room), the bedrooms and the kitchen were all wonderful and comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you may need for cooking and barbecuing. The gas stove works perfectly. Congratulations Mark with the right place to satisfy a Gautenger who longs for nature and rest! Hope we can come again!
Magoebaskloof Birders' Cottages are in an incredibly beautiful area. The cottage is very fully equipped and is very comfortable. The place makes one feel like a new person.
What an experience that was. Mark communicated wonderfully and accommodated our very late check in. His foreman Solly was a star and made us feel very relaxed, safe and welcome. It is definitely a destination I would like to visit again.
5 nights of total relaxation at Robin Cottage! When you exit from the main road you have to follow a 3 km jeep track (not advisable for a vehicle with low ground clearance) through a forest, a prelude to a fairytale. The hot water donkey was stoked every morning and evening but it didn't bother us. They respected our privacy, yet housekeeping was available when needed. So it isn't a chrome and granite house with a TV, but nothing was run-down or out of order. Hand soap at each basin, Peaceful sleep and tissues on every night stand. Radox bubble bath at the magnificent outdoor bath. 4 Braai tongs. 6 Cutting boards. Not just one drying cloth, but three! And evern Gladwrap - I couldn't believe it! Wood for the braai and the fireplace, and firelighters. I can continue, bowls, cutlery etc. for many more people than just 7. Gas stove in case Eskom dropped us. Our double bed had a great matress. If we needed anything Mark was available immediately to lend a hand. That's what counts. So our vehicle wasn't behind lock and key, but I suppose it is just our Gauteng paranoia acting up. I don't think the beautiful Samango-apes posed any threat to our safety. My wife and I felt like Adam and Eve in paradise, hidden away in a forest surrounded by the sound of the river and the birds. The night sounds were so soothing without the ever-present noise of a TV. This is our kind of place, for an affordable holiday or even a second honeymoon! Five nights flew by. Thanks Mark!
Lovely cottage, well situated and very well equipped with personal touches! It was our first time but we will definitely be back!
Stunning location and nice place, with things you haven't even thought of. Expect amazing nature views and a great stay.
This was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life. Perfectly romantic, totally relaxing, wonderfully rustic and was the perfect honeymoon destination. I can recommend it to any honeymoon couple and with confidence say that the is no better place to celebrate your new or existing marriage. From the donkey, to the road into the cottage, the waterfall and especially the outside bath... I will surely be back again and again and again... 5 stars to Mark and his staff!
What a wonderful place! Everything has definitely been thought of. From hot tubs and candles in the bathroom to an apron in the kitchen. We will definitely be hiding here again.
We really enjoyed it and it's a must for people who love nature. We also really appreciated that provisions were made for things that one might forget.
My husband and I go away for a week every year on our wedding anniversary. This year it is 21 years. We have been to several places. In terms of privacy and romance, I've had no equal when you factor in costs. I didn't want to come back. Anyone who loves nature, tranquility and peace, this is the place! Thank you, it was truly fantastic! I will definitely want to come again next year and I tell everyone about the place.
Magoebaskloof Birders Cottage is a place where you can find yourself again. We are so grateful that we were able to experience a piece of paradise for a short while. The cottage is very clean, tidy and private. The ideal break that you sometimes need so much.
The trees, waterfall, birds and starry sky force you to rest and catch your breath. The cottage has everything you need and you are close enough to drive somewhere to see the area. They cater for power outages!
The little house in the woods is beautiful, and anyone's soul will rest there. Everything is available, from the wood for the fireplace, to extra light sources in case of load shedding. Would recommend to anyone, and would love to visit again.
Look, if the children are crying because they have to go home again, then you need to know!
The bed was just not suitable for my back problem.
Was fantastic, can't wait to go back. Wish I could keep the place a secret!
Please see the stars below.
Absolutely worth it. After a year of work, you couldn't ask for better to relax. It's a dream come true. Many thanks to LekkeSlaap and Mark for making this possible.
Very peaceful and unique getaway. Time for real rest and relaxation in the forest. Perhaps it would be good if the unit was serviced daily and someone kept the fire going for hot water.
Lovely experience in the Kloof,very private and breathtakingly beautiful. Accommodation is good and clean.
Excellent place for a weekend break away. My wife and I will visit the cottage again.
The environment is very beautiful. The cottage is very well equipped. Mark was very friendly and helpful...he will go out of his way to help you.
