Ekukhuleni Game Farm And Cottages - Reviews

If you are looking for a quiet, comfortable, affordable and very clean place to get away to that's close to Joburg, this is it! Although there were other guests, we felt like we had the place to ourselves while we enjoyed bird-watching, strolling around and making use of the very nice built-in braai. If you're lucky, you might even see the kudu and impala on the property.

Heerlike wegbreek, netjies en behulpsaam.
Baie vriendelik, skoon plek, baie still en sal definitief weer gaan.

Very beautiful place, clean and neat cottages and the owners are very friendly. Braai area cleaned daily and wood provided every day.
We expected a gravel road, but were met by a concrete double track road wel found welcome after the heave rains. Karen was very friendly and showed us the various chalets. We were pleasantly surprised at the size of the double room chalets. Very spacious for socialising around the braai. The pool, though quite deep, was such a welcome refreshment in the heat. Ideal for weekends close to Gauteng. Would love to go back there.
Baie lekker gebly en net so lekker gekuier.
Ons het 'n lang grondpad verwag, maar is begroet met 'n betondubbelspoorpad wat gehelp het met die baie reën en kondisie van die toegangspad. Karen was baie vriendelik met ons ontvangs en het ons die verskeie chalets gaan wys. Ons was aangenaam verras oor die grootte van die dubbelkamer-chalets. Baie ruim met baie plek om te braai en kuier. Swembad, alhoewel bietjie diep vir sommiges, was welkome lafenis van die warm weer. Ideaal vir naweekwegbreek as jy net wil rus en is binne trefafstand van beide Pretoria en Johannesburg. Sal beslis weer teruggaan. ...

The place is private and perfect.
The game farm was great we had our private time and the staff didn't bother us they were there when we needed them. I wish they can put lights by the pool so that we could swim at night. The pool was clean, we enjoyed swimming and they were nice to allow us 2 hours more to check out. The check out time is so perfect, 4 pm, so we had enough time to enjoy before departure.

The place is nice and the owners are really humble people.
I would recommend the place, especially to people who are looking for privacy. I would go again.
The owner Karen was friendly and helpful, the cottage very spacious and clean. Not crazy about the location of the cottage or view from the veranda.
Thank you to Karen for her friendliness and assistance. The cottage was spacious and clean and the bedrooms roomy. We would probably have rated the cottage higher if our stay was in winter. We would strongly recommend that they install overhead (silent) fans in the bedrooms and lounge, as the stand alone fans were very noisy and inadequate especially in summer.

Dit is heerlik, rustig en baie lekker om te ontspan, kan enige tyd aanbeveel.
Dis baie lekker in die bos, rustige atmosfeer en lekker om te ontspan van gejaagde lewe.
Baie rustig, stilte met net die bosgeluide en reuke.
Die chalet was goed toegerus en netjies. Die bed was gemaklik en ons het regtig veilig gevoel. Het nie enige wild gesien nie, wel mis en spore. Baie voëlgeluide maar het net 'n paar gesien.

Karen, 'n lieflike mens het ons hartlik ontvang, 'n beter woonplek aangebied en die stilte van die omgewing, was wonderlik.
Karen, 'n lieflike mens het ons hartlik ontvang, 'n ander woonplek aangebied (nr .4), nie nr. 2 nie. Sy het gepraat van die grassnyer wat ingegee het. Kon sien dat instandhouding tussen die wooneenhede baie werk nodig het. Kokkerotte in een kas. Geen wild gesien nie. Kragonderbreking het elke aand gebeur, net vir kort tye. Onderdakparkering by die wooneenhede sal 'n pluspunt wees.

Its very nice and peaceful.
It was very nice ... Just had a problem with cockroaches..... alot of them.

Dit was rustig en lekker om uit die stad te kom.
Lekker rustige atmosfeer en stilte is wonderlik. Die huisies is lekker privaat en mooi. Die stoele in die sitkamer kan net meer gemaklik wees, veral vir TV kyk en lekker kuier.

Rustig, maar nie wow nie.
Bitter min wild. Word as wildsplaas geadverteer, bietjie misleidend.

It's a very beautiful place but I think they need to cut trees a little bit as they are falling all over the place and also need to install remote gate to ensure safety of the guests, especially at night. We were so scared as we arrived late and we had to open the gate, ayi, it's not ayoba, but other than that everything was perfect. I love the place.

Cottages was perfek vir ons behoefte.
Cottages is ruim en skoon en goed toegerus, omgewing ongerep met inheemse plantegroei, kry die gevoel jy is op die plaas, skoon swembad was groot bonus. Ons kan Ekukhuleni aanbeveel.

Dit was 'n wonderlike rustige atmosfeer.
Dit was vir my 'n besonderse rustige naweek, vir seker 'n plekkie om net af te skakel van die besige gejaag.

Clean and neat accommodation. Wood provided daily and fireplace and braais cleaned daily. Peaceful area so you can relax after a week of hard work in the busy city.
Verblyf baie skoon en netjies. Vuurmaakhout daagliks voorsien en kaggel en braaie skoongemaak. Rustige omgewing sodat mens kan ontspan na 'n week van harde werk en stadsrumoer.

We had a wonderful time and felt very welcome.
Good value for money. There are many tourist attractions in the area. Our cottage was tidy and clean. The braai wood is replenished every day without any additional costs. The owners are lovely people and we felt very welcome.
Ons het heerlik gekuier en het baie welkom gevoel.
Goeie waarde vir geld en daar is baie toeriste-aantreklikhede in die omgewing. Ons huisie was netjies en skoon. Ons braaihout is elke dag aangevul sonder enige addisionele onkoste. Die eienaars is lieflike mense en het ons baie welkom gevoel.

It was a lovely getaway from the city. The silence and bushveld were blissful.
It's the ideal accommodation for people who want to get out of the city. The silence and nature is blissful. It's also nice and central to tourist attractions. There isn't a lot of game on the farm as indicated on the website, the obstacle course doesn't exist anymore and the walking trails are overgrown with gras which makes it difficult to walk along. It was lovely to sit by the dam though.
Dit was 'n heerlike wegbreek uit die stad, die stilte en bosveld was 'n lafenis.
Dit is ideale akkommodasie opsie vir mense wat wil wegkom van die stad. Die stilte en natuur was 'n ware lafenis. Dis ook lekker sentraal vir toerisme-aantreklikhede. Daar is baie minder wild op die plaas as aangedui op die webtuiste, die "obstacle course" bestaan ook nie meer nie en die wandelpaaie was oorgroei met gras, sodat dit enige wandelinge bemoeilik het. Dit was heerlik om by die dam te sit.

Pretty area and tranquility at its best.
Ekukhuleni is relatively close to other attractions, including the Sterkfontein caves and the Cradle of Humankind. Thank you for a lovely time, away from the city's hustle and bustle.
Mooi omgewing en rustigheid op sy aller beste.
Ekukhuleni is relatief naby ander besienswaardighede, insluitend die Sterkfonteingrotte en "Cradle of Humankind" om die naweek aan te vul. Dankie vir 'n heerlike tydjie weg van die stadsrumoer.

Very nice, good service and value for money.
Friendly and helpful owners. Simple but neat accommdation, value for money.
Baie lekker en goeie diens en waarde vir geld.
Die eienaars was baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Die verblyf was eenvoudig maar netjies en waarde vir geld.

While there were some minor maintenance issues, the place offers fantastic value for money and a very relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

The house needs some renovating.
The house needs to be renovated - the power outages are unacceptable. The lady at reception is an exceptional person and will go out of her way to make anyone feel welcome.
Die huis het opknapping nodig.
Die huis moet opgeknap word - die krag wat afgaan is nie aanvaarbaar nie. Die dame by ontvangs is 'n besonderse mens en sal uit haar pad gaan om enige iemand welkom te laat voel.

Received with a warm welcome, a tranquil/restful weekend was had.
A great weekend was had, peaceful, relaxing and comfortable.Had Kudu visiting us on the stoep early Saturday morning. A nice surprise!
