Boschfontein Guest Farm

Pros: The farm was absolutely stunning, views from the chalets is beautiful. I loved how off the grid it is, no stress from normal day life, gives us time away as a family. Plenty of animals to see and encounter. The out door fire pit was lovely on the evening. Kids loved every minute of our time here. The owners were very accommodating and helped in every way they could. Very friendly.

Cons: Nothing loved the whole time there.

Quiet, relaxing, beautiful views, game spotted on walks, perfect off-grid experience. Will go again

Pros: For an off-grid venue, the cottage had everything needed. Total peace and quiet, stunning view, long walks in the bush, donkey water system worked like a charm. Host were very responsive and did not bother guests unless brining wood for the donkey or checking that you had enough water supply.

Cons: Gas fridge worked well but not ideal for freezing meat if you stay for longer than 3 days. The hosts were kind enough to keep meat frozen at the main house.

Beautiful nature, excellent privacy and seclusion. Close to the National Park gate.

Pros: The location is magical - surrounded by an amphitheatre of mountains. The warm water furnace worked superbly.

Cons: Although we liked the secluded location, it would be nice to have a place on the property to charge our devices. Given the excellent solar technology that's available today it might worth slightly upgrading the solar system in the chalets.

Family stay over Easter

Pros: The views were spectacular and the hosts were so friendly and helpful.the farm had cows,zebras,ostriches and tshebes.

Cons: I didn't realise that off the grid meant no electrical power points.the road to get to the farm was very bad.

Pros: We loved the beautiful view, great outside showers, pool we were allowed to use at the owners house and stunning garden. The kids enjoyed making fire in the donkey for hot water. Quiet and no cell signal made it ideal for long conversations around the fire.

Cons: The fridge too small for a family and not working properly. The stoeps could be made a little safer for toddlers as they can easily fall of the cliffs. Would recommend some sort of battery operated communication system with the owners as there is no signal and us being just women and small kids would have felt safer.

Pros: The owners are friendly and helpful, always smiling and willing to help in every possible way. They made my family's holiday memorable. The fact that we had the whole lodge to ourselves was beyond our imagination, I will definitely go back soon

Pros: Very nice view very quiet near Marakele National Park

Cons: Bad road for 8 km

Pros: It was absolutely lovely. Off the grid, and in a beautiful location. It was such a great experience and we will be visiting again.

Cons: Nothing. Everything was great.

Beleving middle of nowhere

Pros: Prachtige locatie; een zeer speciaal plekje om de sterrenhemel te beleven. Ook dank voor het hout om de koedoe en het kampvuur te stoken.

Cons: Geen negatieve punten

Heerlijke plek in de natuur met alle privacy

Pros: Wat een heerlijke plek in de natuur met allerlei soorten wild op het terrein. We hebben enorm genoten van het huisje, de privacy en het uitzicht. Het huisje is voorzien van solarpower licht en gaskoelkast. Warm water wordt geregeld via een ‘donkey system’ waarbij hout in een buitenkachel het water verwarmd. Maar bij 35 graden vonden wij koud douchen in de buitenlucht een genot.
