87 guests' feedbackWe had a pleasant stay and had a great time. Recommended for a couple breakaway. Unit very clean and well equipped.
Very private and nice space in residential unit.
Lovely place, we really enjoyed it.
My partner and I needed the getaway from the busy city. We got exactly that. It was very peaceful and scenic. We enjoyed the morning visits from the property's 3 dogs as well.
Very very nice, thank you. Real owners who prioritize the little things in life. Quiet, peaceful, clean and tidy.
We had an incredibly nice stay. Will definitely stay there again.
Nice quiet and peaceful.
We really enjoyed the most peaceful weekend. Very clean and tidy place. I would definitely recommend for a most peaceful weekend getaway.
It was a very nice visit for us. The accommodation has everything you need. Dawie always ensures that everything is above expectations. We will definitely visit again.
We had a great time at Thala Thala. It is the ideal getaway for someone who just wants to rest.
What an awesome stay we had. Such a beautiful and safe place, and the tranquility was exactly what we needed to unwind. Thala Thala is highly recommended.
If you want privacy and relaxation this is the place to be. It is very secure, and the owners are awesome people. Very nice place to relax and it is not too far from Pretoria or Cullinan. It is neat and everything you need is there. Thank you for your hospitality.
Had a friendly reception by Dawie, stayed very nice the few days, house was neat and clean, as well as the braai area. It was peaceful there and nice to break away from busy city life. Would recommend Thala Thala for a peaceful getaway.
We had such a wonderful stay and could just relax. The owner Dawie and family's hospitality was excellent, we felt very welcome. The unit is very well equipped and quite cozy and warm for the winter. We also had a lovely walk around the farm and saw many goats, the dogs were also a great treat for us. With solar power and other alternative power at our disposal in the unit, we didn't even know about load shedding. The late night boma fire under the stars was of course our highlight!
Excellently equipped, neat and beautiful rondavel with private porch, carport and braai boma. All located in a beautiful and neat garden full of surprising intimate places to hang out. A hidden gem. Dawie, you thorn.
Dawie was a good host.
We want to thank Dawie for welcoming us with open arms. He met us at the gate on our arrival, very friendly and immediately took us for a tour in and around the Villa. We tell about all the animals and hiking trails, about the 'things to do' in the area. We had a very nice time. Braai facilities excellent, 'pool table' kept everyone busy. The load shedding did not affect us terribly. The TV is on a UPS for those who want to use it. I will go back for another break. Thank you very much Dawie. It was 'great'.
Dawie was very hospitable and friendly, explained how things worked and showed where everything was. The boma and braai place, everything is neat and clean, well furnished, everything you need is in the chalet. It's very private and your privacy is very respected, it's nice in the woods, will definitely visit again. Thank you Dawie, it was very good service.
Nice place, really relaxing and affordable.
Awesome stay at the Villa, makes quick weekend getaways easy and fuss-free with everything you need for a comfy stay. Oom Dawie has even accommodated for load shedding with a battery and emergency lights throughout.
Very nice unit with everything you need. Friendly, peaceful environment and nice close to Centurion. Unity is even more beautiful than in the photos. Will definitely book here again.
The Rondawel is not one tiny thing, it's spacious and linen, the kitchen accessories, fridge, stove and braai places are all sufficient. Gardens are quite a treat for the eyes and you can tire your legs out walking on the farm. Or just sit and rest. Owner is available should you insist on anything. What was the most wonderful thing about the visit for me is that there is a feeling that there is no one around or near you. The dirt road between Moloto highway is not long and well maintained. However, the vegetation in the area is sufficient that the road's traffic is not disturbing. Sufficient wings for photography for the season we visited. Definitely a worthy place in my opinion. Would definitely book there again!
Extremely clean and tidy, would definitely recommend. Hospitably and kindly received, wonderfully rested and relaxed. Dawie just a recommendation to maybe improve the 1st braai area a bit, maybe put a roof or umbrella there, it can get a bit too hot.
Very clean facility and friendly people.
People are very helpful and friendly. Beautiful chalet with everything you need. Hot water, gas stove, lights for when loadshedding takes place. Great experience.
We had a great time relaxing. Nice walk on the farm.
Thala Thala is a nice, peaceful visit so close to home. It's central to Dinokeng, Cullinan and other places. We will definitely visit again!
Very nice clean place with the most beautiful gardens. We had a nice stay and rested.
Perfect place to relax. The facilities are neat and clean. The area and nature are beautiful. Our little girl and the cute dogs had so much fun playing.
Dawie's place is perfect for a quiet weekend away! Children really enjoyed the farm and enjoyed walking and cycling. Savannah the giraffe was a highlight.
What a lovely break it was! Thanks to the owners for the wonderful, relaxed atmosphere you create! It feels like visiting family! Many thanks to Oom Dawie who spoiled the 2 boys so much with the quad bike and going to feed the goats! It was their highlight and the tears flowed when we had to go home! Any parent couple with 2 children knows that if the children have a good time, mom and dad can relax! It was delicious! The boma and a big bushfire were definitely our highlight! We will see Thala Thala again for sure!
Before we were even there, the owner sent us the directions, as well as things to do in the area. He received us very well from the time we arrived there on Friday afternoon and showed us where everything was. We have small children and they enjoyed the footpaths everywhere to walk around and the dogs walking with them. There is everything in the rondavel that you need or may have forgotten at home. The veranda in front of the rondavel is wonderful to just relax or to enjoy your meals. We went for a walk around the farm and could see different goats. The pool's water was quite cold, but the children enjoyed swimming in the afternoon. The boma is a winner where you can have a delicious barbecue, make a fire and just relax wonderfully with your family. When I made the reservation, I also got a discount on top of that. Would definitely recommend Thala Thala. A wonderful weekend.
Would highly recommend for a long weekend.
We were kindly welcomed, the nature is beautiful and peaceful. The rondavel has everything you will need and is beautifully clean. It's a perfect place to get away from the city and relax. We can't wait to go back.
Neat, beautiful, clean, safe and affordable weekend getaway 30 min from Pretoria. Will definitely visit again!
We had a fantastic, peaceful weekend at Thala-Thala. A squirrel family came to greet us every morning. Could listen to birds chirping until late. Was exactly what we needed from busy city life.
Very nice place. Had a nice time. Children really enjoyed the dogs and all the garden paths. One feels safe and very much at home. Thank you Thala Thala for a nice weekend.
Great place to visit. Had a great time with the family.
I booked as we love wildlife but the photos are deceiving as the only view we had was a fence, trees and the main house. The unit is very clean inside but spider webs everywhere. Nothing to do so great if you want to rest.
What a peaceful getaway for a weekend! We enjoyed the silence and nature very much! The unit is very neat and everything you need is there! They thought of every little thing one could possibly need. The nice cards we could play with, the DSTV which has all channels available. The boma where we could just relax and look at the fire and woodland around us. Thank you very much for the fantastic place, a stone's throw away from the city! We will definitely visit the place again!
We were received very kindly, the unit was very well equipped and comfortable.
From the time we checked in at Thala Thala until we left it was just a pleasant time we had here. Everything we needed was available. The place is clean and tidy. Dawie quickly made us feel at home. We had a wonderful rest. When we arrived there were beautiful fresh roses in the rondavel. Thank you very much for a wonderful week's stay. We will definitely be staying there again and recommend Thala Thala for sure!
Accommodation is very neat and very friendly. Will definitely visit again.
The venue is extremely tidy with top quality linen and furniture. Kitchen neatly arranged with everything you need. Several cozy corners for a campfire or barbecue. Surrounded by beautiful scenery. Will definitely return again!
What a surprise! Beautiful gardens, scenery, extraordinarily luxurious rondavel. All an hour's drive from Johannesburg. Thank you Dawie, will recommend you everywhere. At the time of the sale, Dawie's 3 well-mannered dog children crept deep into our hearts.
Dawie is a fantastic host and has contributed to the feeling of home in a lovely well-equipped rondavel with a beautiful garden that has footpaths leading up to the boma area. We climbed the hill on the farm and enjoyed the beautiful view and wildlife from the pool, but enjoyed the nice thatched terrace right by the rondavel the most. If TV is your thing and you don't want to miss sport, there is a full DStv package. Excellent value for money.
It was a lovely getaway with everything we needed. Very neat and so nice and quiet. Perfect getaway, go and try it. Definitely worth the money!
Beautiful, neat, safe place. Had everything we could possibly need. Dawie is very friendly and ready to help where needed. Hope to definitely come again.
The accommodation is either for 2 people or parents with two children. Neat, beautiful linen and nice mattress! The air conditioning was also a big bonus in the heat! The cool lapa porch was just what we wanted and late in the afternoon we could escape to the hide-and-seek boma against the game farm and sit by the fire for hours and have a nice meat roast! The swimming pool, just a few steps from the rondavel, was a pleasure. My husband was also able to enjoy riding his mountain bike! Dawie was a perfect host and we knew he was available if we needed him! We highly recommend it! Thank you also Dawie for the special discount you offered!
Thanks for a wonderful 2 nights! It was very peaceful and clean! Our little girl had a lot of fun playing and was safe!! We are now rested for the new year!
Very peaceful, children really enjoyed running around everywhere and being in the woods a bit.
Great host, peaceful and very clean.
The place is very peaceful. We had a great time relaxing. The rondavel is located next to a very nice garden with several footpaths
Thank you very much for a wonderful weekend! Chalet is fantastically furnished, in such a peaceful atmosphere!
The accommodation is great, well equipped with everything and more you need for a pleasant holiday. We will indeed go there again on another occasion. We had a great time relaxing and resting.
Very peaceful bushveld visit. Clean and neat. The garden is definitely something to mention, beautiful. Will definitely come visit again! The dogs, Saartjie and Frikkie, climbed deep into our hearts.
The place is very neat and very beautiful. The owner very friendly and helpful. Well appointed. Peaceful and blissful. We had such a good time. We will definitely go again.
I will definitely recommend Thala Thala.
Dawie made us feel so welcome from the moment we stepped in, he really went out of his way to make us and the children comfortable and happy. The rondavel is fully equipped and there is literally everything you need. We will definitely visit Thala Thala again!
Dawie is very friendly and helpful. The house has everything you need. We had a wonderful stay and slept. Just from the edge of the pool we could see the beautiful goats. Will visit again.
If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this is the place for you. Dawie is incredibly hospitable and always makes sure that everything is OK. We had a very nice time as a family. Would definitely recommend them.
Dawie was an excellent host, very friendly and helpful. The cottage is beautiful and extremely homely. We had the best weekend, thank you very much.
Beautiful place - tame giraffe provided great excitement. Owner was extremely helpful.
I can recommend the accommodation. Dawie, the owner and host, was great. Beautiful scenery. Game viewing was nice.
What a beautiful place, private, tree-lined, fully equipped, exceptionally neat and clean, Dawie went out of his way to make it a special weekend for us. Even the giraffe made an effort to welcome us. We would highly recommend Thala Thala for a couple who wants a peaceful getaway on their own.
Thala Thala is all that is advertised and more. Quiet and well appointed. The children thoroughly enjoyed the fairy garden, lots of activities in the surrounding area. Absolutely worth it, will go back for sure.
Dawie is an amazing host. Did a small cycle ride with him, most informative. Cottage was absolutely spotless. Saw most amazing stars from braai area. Will definitely be back.
Beautiful, neat little place in a tropical garden with stone paths laid out. The place has everything one needs - complete DStv, tranquility, privacy and delicious braai facilities. It's conveniently close to Pretoria, yet it feels like you're sitting in the middle of the forest. The swimming pool is currently being built and will be a welcome addition for the hot summer days. We felt safe with the electric fence, gates and security gates. We can absolutely recommend Thala Thala - it's value for money!
Beautiful place in the scenic nature. It's peacefulness itself, Oom Danie is very friendly and helpful. Close to the beach, but you still feel miles away from everything. Perfect for a couple's getaway from the city. Dinokeng is close for a day excursion. Well equipped and the advertisement and reality meet each other. Could highly recommend it and will go back again.
I will happily refer people to Thala Thala! It has a wonderful woodland atmosphere and the host is friendly and helpful. Enjoy the piece of forest with a bushveld fire that crackles and the stars are touchable! Furthermore, there is absolutely everything you need and it is neat and clean. A beautiful garden with paths that capture every child's imagination! Thala Thala will definitely see us again. Thank you Dawie for your hospitality!
Thala Thala was really worth it. Thank you Dawie for your excellent hospitality. Will do so again.
Lovely place, beautifully equipped, spotlessly clean and very friendly owner. Thank you very much, we had a wonderful rest (looking forward to the pool).
Such a delightful, peaceful place. Well stocked self-service facility with the most beautiful garden surroundings. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet and wandering around the lovely garden and our lovely breakfasts on the veranda overlooking all the greenery. We had a family wedding nearby and it was perfect for us to rest and enjoy. The roads to Thala Thala were much better than any other dirt roads around the area that we visited.
Ons het heerlik vakansie gehou met 'n kleuter.
Very hospitable people and animals. Thank you for everything. Needed the peace and quiet.
Very friendly, hospitable chalet. Peaceful and beautiful garden and woodland atmosphere. Nice braai facilities with boma.
We had a lovely time at Thala Thala, the hospitality is top notch and the care, thank you Dawie. There is plenty of play space, especially the garden paths, which my son really enjoyed and kept very busy. Very peaceful and relaxing place to stay. The accommodation is nice and tidy and very well equipped. We could easily get in the car and spend a day out as a family and see other places as well and return to a comfortable and peaceful atmosphere. Would definitely stay there again and recommend Thala Thala.
My wife and I needed a weekend away from the city and from work. I must say that it was great from our arrival to our departure. The owner was so helpful and friendly. I will happily recommend it to people and will definitely stay there again.
The place was welcoming and the hosts were very friendly. Great place to spend out of the Jo'burg lights. The owner also gave us a credit day because we left a day earlier due to an emergency.Great service and planning to visit again end of the month.
We had a lovely stay. Close to the Dinokeng Game Reserve, safe and comfortable, and the children enjoyed the little paths in the garden.
It's a very neat, clean rondavel that I would gladly recommend. We've been paying a lot more for a lot less.
Thala Thala will definitely see us again. It is so peaceful and we could just relax and enjoy nature. We will definitely visit Thala Thala again. We were received hospitably and immediately felt at ease.
Dit is 'n baie rustige en lekker wegbreekplek. Baie lekker geleë en die enigste aanbeveling wat ek sal maak is dat daar 'n aparte toilet van die hoofslaapkamer moet wees aangesien die plek toegerus is vir 4 persone en 1 kind. Verder is daar absoluut alles en dit is baie netjies.
Despite the power outage and weather, our family really enjoyed the place. Very neat and clean. The children were happy about Dawie filling the little pond so that he could just cool off, ride a bike and play on the paths with Frikkie (jack russel). As big campers, it was wonderful to be able to be off for a while and go to rest without setting up camp and enjoy a piece of forest with a crackling forest fire.
Was very peaceful. Very warm reception. Will definitely recommend it. Neat and organised.
We were received very kindly and it's a gem of a place!
