105 guests' feedbackIt was a wonderful week that I can recommend to anyone if you like silence and nature. Beautiful place. Pierre, Genevive and Ettienne are the friendliest people, you immediately feel at home.
The place as a whole is absolutely fantastic. Extremely clean with very friendly service. The perfect getaway place to get away from the noise of everyday life. Would recommend Garden of Eden anytime. The hiking trails and scenery were perfect to clear the mind and recharge the soul. 10 out of 10!
The cottage was clean and comfortable.
Very friendly, beautiful surroundings.
Comfortable stay and will book there again.
Garden of Eden's campsite's view is beautiful. The rooms inside are carefully decorated and tidy. However, the buildings and grounds are slightly neglected.
The resort needs a lot of work. The photos are misleading. We were not received as there was no one present at the reception. The reception is inside the dining hall which has perspex or some other transparent panels around it. It was very dirty. After quite some time we were taken to a room. It wasn't clean. Not even the braai or ashtray had been cleaned and the ashes and stumps were still lying there. The bathroom door is full of dirty finger marks and the sink faucet was very dirty. The corrugated iron roof is full of holes. It was a very hot day and the room was boiling hot when we got there. Definitely not a place we would recommend. We decided not to stay.
Very disappointed. Doesn't look like the photos at all. At least the bedding was clean. Beds weak. Not recommended at all.
The farm is beautiful and we will definitely visit it again. However, the unit needs some work. The fridge didn't work and the shower and sink were slightly clogged.
The room was cozy and the bed slept well. Furthermore, it was very unfinished. The shower head is already so chalked up that it's not even worth taking a shower. The water marks on the shower glass are never cleaned, or so it seems. The boiler must be plugged in next to the bed to get to the plug. A little more love, care and finishing in the rooms will make a very big difference.
The owner went out of his way to make sure we had everything. It's so quiet in the middle of nature, the perfect place to hide away from the city. Absolutely beautiful hidden gen. Hiking trail down the mountain is magical. There's a pool and braai area. Can hike all the way to the river. Food is spectacular. Accommodation was comfy and clean. Had the best time!
There are nice hiking trails, a swimming pool to cool off in and a place to braai with a nice view.
Quiet, picturesque and perfect for overnight and group camping.
Perfect for city people.
Clean spacious room and safe hiking spot.
My boyfriend and I were looking for a New Year's break to spend time together and the place kept us warm and cosy, with a very nice view to boot.
Thanks to friendly staff. Can enjoy a walk in the beautiful nature. If you like camping, then you will like the place.
WiFi only in main areas and very slow. No undercover parking. No bedside lights. Only 1 plug in the room. Shower and bathroom blinds broken and ripped. Comfortable bed and linen. Okay curry for supper.
Thank you so much Pierre for making our wedding anniversary so special. You upgraded us to the "honeymoon suite" at no charge because it was available. Your farm is beautiful and the hiking trails an experience.
Apart from being situated on a beautiful landscape, it is peaceful and good for the soul. Pierre and the team are extremely friendly and take the guests' interests seriously. Upon our arrival, Pierre kept the most ideal room for us where we were very private and could even enjoy a braai on the veranda. The breakfast was delicious and absolutely value for money. The different walking routes were planned for each person's needs (and of course for what we could handle). We will definitely go again!
If you are looking for a place to recharge your batteries closer to Joburg, this is good.
Friendly and very beautiful there.
Net wat ek & my kêrel nodig gehad, was baie rustig en die natuur was pragtig! Ons het dit baie geniet.
The hiking trails were challenging but had the greatest scenary. The 4 x 4 trails were also great. The chalets/rooms are small and cosey but everything you need is avaliable. Great place to visit to shut off and disconnect from everything. Definitely will return for more visits and to complete more of the hiking trails.
Pierre was very hospitable and helpful. It feels like you are visiting family. The scenery is beautiful. My boys took on the hiking trails which they enjoyed immensely. The lookout point was again beautiful for me! Thank you very much we had a good rest!
Ons het lekker gerus. Mooi omgewing. Wonderlik stil. Gasheer baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Plek kort so bietjie onderhoud. Kos was heerlik voorberei en sal dit aanbeveel. Pragtige staproetes. Veiligheid ook net bietjie opskerp.
Had a great time, will definitely go again.
Bathroom is built inside the great room where four people can sleep under any ceiling or roof so there is no privacy. Road is okay but struggle if you drive a small car. But otherwise it had been okay.
Very friendly welcome with good assistance if help is needed.
Tuin van Eden is such an amazing place, the owner and staff were so friendly and went out of their way to accommodate our every need. We loved the hiking trails on site, room was clean and comfortable. The room does only have a microwave and fridge so you may need to bring a few extras for your own catering needs (plates, knives forks, braai tongs, dishcloths, towels, extra blankets and a dish washing basin are provided) but that is not an issue at all, you can braai right on the patio outside your room so it was easy to make our meals on the braai, plus meals are available to order from the reception area. Will most certainly be back. We were made to feel so welcome and it just felt like home from home.
It was the best getaway I've had in a long time. Thanks for an excellent weekend. Pierre, your service and kindness is exceptional. You feel right at home, and want to stay longer. We are already planning when we go back.
We really enjoyed our time at Garden of Eden. The farm is quiet and safe and the owner is very helpful and friendly. The facilities are simple but very nice and clean.
A beautiful getaway close to Joburg.
Beautiful setting, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly, helpful staff.
It's a very nice place, between the hills, peaceful and beautiful! Nice people and very neat! Recommend them anytime.
I actually went to see it twice with different people and the owner was very helpful. It is away from noise in the mountain.
Have a very pleasant long weekend, rest assured. Staff very friendly.
Beautiful surroundings. People are hospitable and very helpful.
A gem away from the crazy city rush.
Peaceful, beautiful setting. Such peace. The host and staff is very efficient, friendly and on the ball. Comfortable accommodation and a nice relaxed environment for cooking, braai, etc. The views are breathtaking. And they have a very cool dog too! We'll definitely recommend the venue to friends and will go back.
We had a very nice stay. The owner is very friendly and considerate. Would really recommend Garden of Eden for a peaceful weekend getaway.
It was a lovely getaway in the most beautiful valley, peaceful atmosphere. Friendly, quick service from Pierre and the rest of the staff. Will definitely go again.
Lovely web break to rest and enjoy nature. Neat room with small fridge, kettle and microwave, as well as cups with coffee, tea and sugar and towels. Pack milk and water, as well as your own snacks. If you decide to eat something in town, it's about 20 minutes away. There is a TV, but why now? The water is very warm! We booked room 8 and were upgraded to room 10 when we got there. What a cremation! There is a sheep dog, so loyal he just goes for a walk with you in the field and lies like a guard dog on the porch in front of your door, very friendly. We enjoyed it a lot!
Very hospitable and helpful. Rooms neat and environment a loop court. Food delicious and they were very flexible with times to accommodate our group of 11.
Very friendly owner. Willing to go the extra mile. Need to perhaps spend a night in their rooms to see what is needed. personally I would have preferred the toilet to have been enclosed for privacy. But for a short getaway it was lovely. Thank you to the hosts.
Maybe not quite value for money, I would include breakfast in the cost.
Will stay there again next year April.
We camped, although there is other comfortable accommodation. If you would like to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and like to stare at the stars around a campfire, Garden of Eden is the place for you. Nice casual camping event.
Service was good, rooms were clean and tidy, but the advertisement is misleading.
Environment is not bad at all. Room is cold. There was also no tea, coffee and milk in the room. Was not value for our money.
We had a lovely stay at Tuin van Eden. It is located in a stunning environment. We were warmly welcomed and the room and facilities were good. We also had a wonderful meal. We will definitely return when we get the chance!
The people are very friendly and will go out of their way to accommodate you.
Very quiet place, very secluded. Rustic.
Just needs a swimming pool and they can renovate the toilet facilities at the river.
Very quiet, neat and clean.
The camping area did not have many facilities but it is a very nice place that is very restful, you relax a lot there. And the owners are very friendly. I look forward to the changes that will be made.
I would recommend Tuin Van Eden to any one, to get away from your busy daily routine.
We only slept over and didn't spend much time there, but the rooms are neat and clean. The area is quiet and there is a very nice view.
We were looking for tranquility in beautiful scenery, without having to drive far. Garden of Eden offered exactly that. The rooms are simple, but neat. The gorges and mountains are beautiful, with beautiful views.
Expected more. Some items like the bulb for the lamp was out and we had to phone someone to get the key. Area is lovely, comfortable room and view very pretty.
Thank you very much. It was really awesome. We will visit you again.
See the stars.
With a hot water bag and coffee it was an incredible weekend. Peaceful atmosphere away from the city noise.
Pierre is an excellent host and you quickly become friends with him. He is willing to solve problems or queries at any time and with a smile. Our room was very hot and stuffy. A regular fan will help a lot. Overall we had a great time.
I would definitely recommend it to friends and family - it was lovely and relaxing.
We were at a wedding nearby and just looking for a place to sleep. We got there after 12 in the evening without any problem. The rooms are very neat and beautiful. It was perfect for what we needed. Thank you very much!
Please see the stars.
Outstanding! Just a well-deserved break close to home.
We had a great time at Garden of Eden. It brings you closer to nature. The hospitality there is very good. They make sure that their guests get the best service.
The road instructions on the internet are good. It is better to travel in daylight as it is difficult to see the turn at night especially around the busy road, but after that it is easy to get to the farm even in the dark. The reception is friendly and takes the visitor's interests into account. Unfortunately couldn't stay for the breakfast that others recommended and couldn't walk around either due to time. It is well located from the airport if you are driving south to get out of the city and spend the night on a farm.
The farm is beautiful! It was nice and close to the wedding at Stone Cellar. Nice, clean and tidy and the breakfast on Sunday was delicious.
Pierre immediately made us feel very much at home and was very hospitable. We will definitely visit again!
Everything was beautiful, the units I would suggest should get fans in.
See the stars.
We were kindly received at our room. The rooms were just bitterly cold, the cement floor brought the cold into the rooms. Breakfast was a bit messy, could hear everything that was going on in the kitchen and what was being talked about. Just think about including breakfast in the price, the R60 for breakfast was not value for money. But apart from all that, at least my husband and I got a night's rest.
We went camping for a long weekend to escape the city noise and it was lovely! Beautiful scenery, hospitality and a real farm experience. Will definitely do so again.
A wonderful experience!
I will definitely recommend my friends and family to visit Garden of Eden. We are planning a follow-up visit in the near future!
Everyone had been friendly. We are so spoiled. Sorry it was just an overnight stay. Would love to stay longer.
What a warm, friendly enviroment! Excellent value for money AND the best cooked food.
I would definitely go again as I like the farm feel. It's very clean and the scenery is beautiful. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed it!
Once all the little things they plan are finished, it will be absolutely beautiful.
I really enjoyed the tranquility.
Pierre made you feel right at home and the peaceful atmosphere on the farm is so relaxing. Everything you would expect if you want to get away from everything that is busy.
Farm atmosphere with comfortable accommodation in beautiful surroundings.
Our visit at Garden of Eden was very pleasant. The owner and his wife are extremely hospitable. The surroundings offer a beautiful sunrise. We enjoyed it very much. The view on the hiking trails is incredible.
Owner very cute and more than helpful. A few small things he needs to sort out, electricity and maybe a little more staff when it comes to larger group meals. Still very good value for money though.
Very friendly reception and a lot of help to explain the way to our reception. There was no hot water in the afternoon upon arrival, after we brought it to their attention they immediately made work of it and quickly sorted it out.
The rooms are great and tidy, and the service is exceptional. The road is very poor.
No complaints.
See the stars below.
I needed a bed, bath, sink and toilet - that's exactly what I got. Rooms are clean and tidy and we experienced a fantastic sunrise over the valley.
Both the host and wife are very friendly. The unspoiled nature is exactly what one needs to escape from the city.
See the stars below.
Our stay on the farm was very nice. Very peaceful atmosphere where you can relax, go for a walk, ride a bike and swim in the river. We enjoyed it very much.
Very nice and peaceful farm environment. Some rooms have a nice view of the valley. Friendly service. Rooms are adjoining like in a barn. Nice close to cattle to get a farm atmosphere. The dirt road to location can be rough for low cars. If you want to get a farm feel, you will enjoy it here.
The rooms are small and the bathroom door does not close.
There are no decent kitchen facilities. The ceiling in our bathroom was not fully installed and when you took a shower, the whole bathroom was under water. A shower door is missing. Our bakkie stood in the sun all day. We just went home a day earlier. The owner did return half of 1 night's money to us. It was not good value for money. Perhaps the place is more suitable for a B&B than for a family that wants to go on holiday. I wish we had booked somewhere else instead. The activities that were promised such as fishing in the river were not possible because the river was too forested. The owner offered us his panga to clean. We also couldn't swim in his farm pond because it was too dirty.
No fan or TV in the room. It's a nice farm atmosphere if you want to get away from the city and have a quiet time.
Wow, I can believe we discovered the perfect place for the getaway from JHB. The valley is beautiful and the hiking trails are amazing. Thank you for the hospitality we received this weekend. One can really admire the nature there and clear one's head. I would go back and stay there again anytime. Thank you Pierre, you made us feel so welcome.
Very, very clean.
