8 guests' feedbackWe loved our stay at Khaya Mandevu - Schoemanskloof Retreat. The house and garden are completely private, and the large garden is also fenced so our dogs could explore and enjoy the garden safely. We saw some beautiful birds, swam, and back-floated in the pool for hours. Surrounded by the views of the mountains all around, it was so relaxing and refreshing. The house is also very nice and cosy, and the screens in front of the windows also keep all the bugs out! We can't wait to stay there again.
Thank you, Dee, for your hospitality. We really enjoyed the beautiful scenery and trail walks. The farmhouse was a delight to stay in.
Wish we could stay longer.
Thank you very much Dee and Pretty, for the wonderful long weekend in the forest with all our children, people and animals! Thank you for the clean house, and the wholesome books on the bookshelf. It was a wonderful getaway.
Place is very old, but we had a nice stay. Traffic on the main road can become distracting.
Beautiful and peaceful surroundings. The house is nice and private, but is dilapidated and needs a lot of maintenance. The pool is actually a fish pond.
The place is cute if you need to be in the area for business or something, but for us the road noise was quite disturbing. It's neat and clean, although we feel the price is a bit high!
Absolutely fantastic place to find rest for your soul. Would definitely recommend it.

House rules
Khaya Mandevu is accessible via a rough farm road but a high-clearance vehicle is not essential if one drives slowly.Guests without a high-clearance vehicle can be shuttled from the main gate to and from the cottages, at the beginning and end of their stay. Additional shuttles can be provided at a fee per trip.
Khaya Mandevu has a small plunge pool situated on one side of the house but it is not covered so children need to be very strictly supervised.
The first bundle of firewood is free, thereafter it is available for purchase at an additional fee per bag.
Pets are welcome and a small once-off cash cleaning fee is charged for the extra cleaning that furry friends inevitably necessitate.
Pets need to stay off the furniture and beds and guests should bring throws to protect our furniture if this can't be guaranteed.
Dogs must be walked on leads outside the garden to protect them as well as to ensure wildlife is not chased.
Please ensure your pets are free of fleas and it is advisable to bring anti-tick spray to protect them against local ticks they may not have resistance to.
