3 guests' feedbackWe absolutely loved our stay here! Mark & Bernadette were wonderful hosts. The cottage itself was very comfortable, super clean and very well equipped. The outdoor shower was one of our favourites! The farm itself is very quiet and peaceful with a lot of hidden gems. We had a braai on the mountain top with breathtaking views, and we also stumbled upon another picnic spot in the mountains. If you are looking for a place to recharge your batteries, be in nature, enjoy the animals with lots of privacy - look no further! We can't wait to come back.
Vaalkop Reserve is an ideal place to relax and walk. The house is comfortably furnished and there were many personal touches. We really enjoyed our stay.
What a piece of heaven on earth. Many thanks to Mark for making everything so easy. The place was far beyond our expectations. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching wild animals move in front of our cottage. If you love walking in nature, this is the place, we walked far every day and every day in a different direction. The pool is lovely to cool off in and the boma a bonus on a warm cloudless evening. You can go and charge your batteries!
