23 guests' feedbackHad a lovely stay, slept warm and got great service. Will definitely book again.
Wow! What a nice experience. Lemar is a manager of a thousand! Lizzie played hostess and everything was in place on arrival. Nothing has been left out and all you need to bring yourself. There were plenty of warm things against the winter cold and even a nice indoor fireplace for barbecuing. The Njalas greet you with a squirrel or two. The watering hole is very private and nicely designed to accommodate the nature lover and angler. Lazy relaxation with a glass of Merlot in the hot Jacuzzi on the open-air terrace makes any stress disappear quickly as dusk descends and the little ones finish their last song of the day and take over the frog's ear for the night under a starry sky. Bedding is of good quality and clean. Upgrade recommendations. The only worthy upgrade that will need to be done is the 2x TVs for DStv, KYKnet Channel 144, 145, 146, 147 at Lapa and Moonstone Cottage.
It was one of the best visits in a long time, it is a must for a nice weekend away. Well done. We will do it again soon.
We had a great weekend away. The property has so many great activities to keep everyone busy. The scenery is perfect and peaceful. We pre-ordered food and everything was amazing. The hosts thought of everything and went out of their way to make it perfect.
Absolutely beautiful place, a piece of Heaven bot far from Lichtenburg in the North West stunning views peaceful, Lamar a brilliant host stunning baskets available. Just stunning.
My wife and I travel a lot overseas and have toured SA flat out. This is one of the few that really surprised me. All told my friends and we plan to go back as a group. Enjoyed the weekend. Was good value for money and place really safe. Definitely a place where you can kick your feet up. Highly recommended.
It's an incredibly peaceful place where your soul can rest and you can spend time with your family.
It is a very nice place with friendly and helpful hosts. Unfortunately we had to leave earlier than planned and therefore could not do everything on the farm and in the area that was available. Hopefully next time.
We were really pleasantly surprised with Malmane. The photos look nice, but you can only really sum it up once you've been there in person. The view over the eye/pond provides a tranquility that one can only find next to the water. There are several room options. Our friends enjoyed the chalet, and we were delighted with the glamping option in a large canvas tent. The area is rich in bird life, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. Lemar was a wonderful hostess, and always available on WhatsApp should we need her. The main house is more than 100 meters away, and still the guest area is totally private hidden behind trees. You are not even aware of them - so it feels like you have your own resort all to yourself. The facilities in the lapa (kitchen, indoor barbecue etc.) are fantastically comfortable, and there is WiFi to keep in touch with the outdoors (note that mobile phone reception is very poor, but WhatsApp works well on the WiFi for communication). We didn't have the best weather (raining most of the time) so we were mostly under cover, but still really enjoyed the peace and quiet. I can definitely recommend the place for a private group or family break. Thank you Lemar, it was very nice to stay in your place for the few days!
Will definitely go back with friends.
The venue is absolutely stunning, we were all blown away from the very first second that we arrived. Everything is very neat and tidy. The facilities are impeccable.
It was delicious! We traveled a long way and arrived there late in the evening and drove again early, but were very nicely helped by Lemar - she gave excellent directions and made sure all the time that everything was 100%! All facilities were clean, beautiful and very pleasant! We will stay there again if we are in the area again!
What a hidden treasure, a truly beautiful setting full of bird life and nature and the cleanest, clearest water in the "eye" that I've ever seen. A complete natural haven. Lamar went out of her way as regards every comfort for the stay, a beautiful bedroom complete with percale linen, huge bath tub and lovely little details to attention in all aspects. Recommended.
Very nice stay. Great service.
Malmane Eye Retreat exceeded all my expectations! A gem of a place, true oasis!
It is recommended, clean, neat and friendly people.
Retreat is the most relaxing place to stay. The cottage and lapa are both lovely, fully equipped with everything you need, neat and clean and there are lovely touches added in many little areas. The setting is so magical, lush lawn to relax on, facing the beautiful dam with crystal clear water to play in. The water comes from a natural eye, which is such a treat to experience. Paddling around the dam looking into the clear water is so special. You can see the bottom, the fish swimming around and the water plants growing under the water. The abundant bird life and calls really warmed our hearts. There are lovely walks and woods to explore. Malmane retreat really has a special mood that helps to relax and be at such peace. The hosts are so lovely and really go out of their way to make us feel special. Thank you.
Top notch hospitality! So much extra effort, really worth the visit! Will definitely go again! Thank you very, very much!
The accommodation is clean and comfortable and has everything you need. It's the perfect place for a break from the city or to visit some family or friends. We will definitely want to visit again.
Our experience at Malmane Eye Private Retreat was truly one for the books. The house is very well furnished and has everything you need and more. It's neat, clean and beautiful. There is just something special about the place that is hard to articulate. There is the opportunity to do many activities, such as cycling and walking on the various forest paths. We also had a great time swimming in the little pond which has crystal clear water. At Malmane you will definitely be able to appreciate the natural beauty once again and with it you can rest well for a new week.
Close to nature, nice to rest the soul.
Malmane Eye's accommodation is the ideal destination for a getaway - whether it's just you and your other half, or you and your whole family! We were warmly received and Lemar checked in every day to make sure we had everything we needed. The spacious lapa and the separate cottage are surrounded by shade trees and are right next to the water of a natural eye. The lapa is well equipped, has additional sleeping space in the 'loft' and its own bathroom. The Cottage is cozy, also has a bathroom and 'bath with a view'! The location is perfect for bird watchers and fishermen, active people can enjoy the trampoline and canoeing. If you just want to relax there are comfortable reclining chairs in which you can enjoy the scenery and 'sundowners'. Malmane Eye is about 50 km (a comfortable 40 minute drive) to Mahikeng and you can stay there if you need to be in the area for business. Malmane is truly an oasis in the North West province.
