56 guests' feedbackMy son and his friends went and they said it was very very nice, his words were "Mom, the aunt is so friendly and the breakfast was fantastic." So I think if 4 young children of 21 years are impressed, then you must know that it was really a nice visit.
What an incredibly nice getaway. I haven't experienced so much peace for my soul in a long time. Rika is considerate, friendly and the cottage is clean and tidy and very comfortable. The outdoor shower was a wonderful experience in nature and the overall experience was just wonderful. We will definitely go again.
We were greeted with a smile and overall the stay was pleasant.
We were kindly received and the facilities were as expected.
We spent the weekend at Matlapa Lodge in Magaliesburg, and what a pleasant surprise. We were warmly welcomed by the owner, Rika. She is a lovely, down-to-earth, friendly, and hospitable lady. The chalets are rustic and fit beautifully into the bush surroundings. They are very clean and have everything you need for a nice self-catering experience, including a fridge, microwave, stove, braai, and fireplace inside the chalet. This is the perfect place for a pet-friendly break. The dogs can run freely around the premises and explore at their leisure; they are welcomed in the dining room with a delicious cookie or two. If you are looking for a very nice pet-friendly getaway, this is the place. Their breakfast is really nice, and the dining room is very homely. We will definitely be back to enjoy more of the hospitality and the tranquil surroundings. NB: The outside shower is a must for couples.
The accommodation was clean and comfortable. The weather for our stay was very cold at night, but the room had extra blankets, and the fireplace in the room was great.
The residential unit is well furnished and clean, the stay was the tranquility itself and breakfast was tasty and sufficient. During the day we explored the area but felt somewhat unsafe at night due to no lockable entry gates.
The view was amazing. The hostess was friendly and helpful. The kitchen countertop was not hygienic and broken. Water came in through the fireplace.
My sister and I had a peaceful and relaxing stay at this lodge. The host and staff were amazing, making us feel right at home. It’s the perfect escape from the city, and we’d definitely visit again. The lodge was clean and well-maintained. . Do bring your own firewood; although the fireplace occasionally lets out smoke. Other than that, it was a restful stay. While there isn’t much to do on-site, the surrounding areas offer plenty of activities like spa visits, horse riding, and hiking trails.
Yes, lush vegetation and abundant birdlife.
My husband and I had a nice braai in the evening, there just wasn't much space to explore. We would have loved to go for a walk. We stayed right on the fence, which didn't feel too safe. We did not have a peaceful night's sleep, tossing and turning, and a night filled with nightmares (which is not normal). Won't ever go back.
If you feel like getting away from the city's busy life, Matlapa with its peace and quiet is your solution. No TV, just the starry sky as you stand in the outdoor shower with the sounds of nature as your music.
Was a brief stay but most enjoyable.
Owners are wonderful people. Very nice break away. Nice to spend some time together as a family.
A very nice visit in Magaliesburg. Matlapa is nice and close to some dog-friendly walking trails and the Magalies Candle Dipping which was great fun for us and our 5 year old. Feel free to take a few "camp goodies" with you to liven up your barbecue and meals because this is not a 100% self-catering unit. There is a sink and fridge. They also sell wood at reception for the fireplace.
Neat, clean rooms.
See stars.
Place can can do with an upgrade, esoecially the pool.
Everyone is helpful. They go beyond the call of duty. Rika is such a darling. Wow words can not describe the things they did for me. That place is just peaceful.
The service was awesome, friendly people. Would go back anytime.
Rika was extremely nice.
Will definitely come back with friends.
Can recommend it to friends.
There is not much space to explore.
Cleaners friendly and helpful. Garden too bushy where vehicles have to move.
It feels like you are on a farm and the silence was wonderful. The people are nice and friendly. Would recommend to anyone and there is plenty to do in the area as well as lots of good restaurants and activities.
It's old fashioned, kitchen is not up to standard, no TV in the room.
Just what I needed for my birthday. Private, nice braai area and quiet.
Gustav and Rika were a wonderful host and wife. Nice breakfast with friendly staff. Icing on the cake: Springboks who won the Lions tour! Thank you, our pugs enjoyed it so much.
Can't wait to return when in the Magaliesburg area.
Very nice and good value for money, friendly service.
Lovely outdoor shower. We only stayed overnight after a wedding at another venue. We booked two cottages. The reception and service during breakfast was very friendly and pleasant. Rika made an effort to find a camping cot especially for our 9-month-old grandson, which we really appreciated.
Relaxing stay with family.
Everything is in its place, clean and tidy. Reception was also very personal.
The maintenance is lacking a little, which might irritate some guests. A lot of small issues arose, but all those reported were immediately taken care of. Wonderful hosts.
Rika and Gustav are the perfect hosts. Our chalet was "eat from the floor" clean and the tub in our bathroom was just amazing to soak in.
Would definitely recommend if guests would like to rest.
"Pets welcome" does not mean "pet-friendly". The area set off for the dogs at the unit is not a garden, but a very small backyard (approx. 4 square meters) and is not suitable for accommodating dogs. Unit and grounds need renovation. No security and anyone can walk into the units from the main road. Unit was very small and not suitable for 4 people.
Very cute little place! Will definitely recommend!
Fantastic beautiful place to relax! Thank you Gustav and Rika. You are a lovely host/woman who went out of your way to make our stay wonderful!
See stars.
We had a wonderful peaceful breakaway from the city. We loved the outdoor shower. Staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. Breakfast was also hearty and tasty.
Peaceful atmosphere and sounds of birds. Would just prefer to have any fans or air conditioning in room. Thank you.
Friendly staff, delicious breakfast. Definitely worth it!
Lovely, quiet place. Friendly staff. Loved the outdoor shower!
Our cottage had an outdoor shower. Breakfast is between 09:00-10:00. When we got there at 09:42, the table was already set and breakfast over. When we asked, the woman said she could quickly see what was left and what else she could make for us - we felt uncomfortable and decided to drive.
They definitely need a new mattress.
We all really enjoyed our evening and breakfast. Everything you need was in the chalet. All I wanted to enjoy with my tea and coffee was fresh milk. Probably if I had asked I would have been able to get but it was very early and I was in my night clothes.
Really a fantastic place! Wonderful reception and hospitality. Beautiful unit with private braai and meeting place. Really a great break. Went with my dogs. They were very welcome but the resident dogs didn't think so. Thanks to the owner who locked up the dogs on Sunday morning so we could play outside. However, the team of children who came to bathe in the morning did not like the dogs, screamed and shouted and again they had to stay inside. Sorry it didn't work.
We had a great time.
It is a very simple place, but very neat, quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was very nice, and we slept very well. The people are also very friendly. There was a bit of a problem with ants coming out of the outdoor shower head when we showered, but other than that we really enjoyed it.
There were a few things that were disappointing to me. First, the outdoor shower. The shower head was broken on one side and was spraying water into the garden. The hot water came out of the hot water tap and not the shower head. So we had a rather cold and unpleasant shower experience. Secondly, we also had no cooking facilities, to make matters worse breakfast is not served until 9 o'clock in the morning.
