We enjoyed our stay at the establishment. Big ups to the caretaker, David, who was always willing to assist.

My friends and I went there for a weekend. We really enjoyed it, fun was had and thank you David for taking good care of us and the cleaning lady. On Sunday we discovered that our tyre is flat as we were only ladies and already packed our bags, we didn't know how to change a tyre and David told us about a place where we can find a pressure pump. He walked with us as we avoided to put pressure on the vehicle only the driver was driving. We walked for 30 mins to the place. Bruce, thank you very much for assisting us with directions.

Nice to go and rest.
Very nice and quiet area and lots of relaxation.
Lekker rustig om te gaan rus.
Was baie lekker rustig, mooi omgewing en baie ontspanning.
Mooier as die foto's!
Dit is min wat verblyf presies lyk soos op die foto's maar ons was aangenaam verras! Die uitsig was asemrowend, die beddens gemaklik en David is regtig goud werd! Ons was meer as gemaklik en wens ons kon langer bly. Ons het teen die berg opgestap, geswem, in die hangmat gesit en lekker om die vuur gekuier. Ons het die aand 'n storm aanskou wat so mooi was vanaf die dek. Doen jouself maar 'n guns en gaan rus hier voor jy terug gaan na die malle gejaag toe! Ons het heerlik gerus.

Perfect place for both business and leisure trips.
The views from the house are beautiful. The activities were enjoyable (pool table, dart board, bow and arrow range) the pool and Jacuzzi were all a bonus. The road leading to the house was easy to navigate with a sedan. The caretaker was on point including housekeeping. The owner, Bruce was available on call at all times.

Wonderlike, rustige omgewing en pragtige uitsig.
As jy wil sielsrus vind, gaan besoek Magaliesberg Mountain lodge. Pragtige uitsig en sekerlik mooi groen in die somer.

Beautiful deck overlooking the mountains.
The house was spacious with lots of activities for teenagers to do. The deck is fabulous with hammock and swinging chair. The pathway leading up the mountain was well marked. We enjoyed the Jacuzzi for many hours. My biggest problem was the kitchen - the microwave was unusable as it had no glass turntable and the gas hob had no electric spark. No matches were provided - luckily David kindly lent me his lighter.
Many thanks for the review and sorry about the difficulties you had with the microwave and gas oven. I am however, pleased to report that we have now replaced both these items.

The location and house are beautiful. But disappointing that they have an infestation on cockroaches.
We had a great time. But the infestation of cockroaches was big let down. The roaches where everywhere (kitchen, bedrooms, dinning room). The geyser water was hot only some of the time. And the lady that had to clean did not come clean. The road leading to the house is terrible, and there was no advanced warning given. However, the house is beautiful and the location is perfect.
Sorry to hear about this. Will take immediate action to rectify.

Asemrowende uitsig, vriendelike opsigter, gerieflike fasiliteite.
Dit was 'n heerlike wegbreek uit die stad en sonder om te ver te ry was ons in die bos en bederf met 'n pragtige uitsig oor die Hekpoort vallei met Hartbeespoortdam in die verte. Die drywende lugbalonne in die oggende het voorwaar on gemoed rustig gestem. Alles was gerieflik en leefbaar en die kinders het die aktiwiteite geniet. Dalk net: hangers in die kaste, badmatjies in die badkamers en doom vir die kakkerlakke?

Dis baie rustig.
Dis 'n baie lekker plek om vakansie te gaan hou. Kort bietjie werk en aandag in die kombuis en die Jacuzi is koud en word nie warm nie so kort ook bietjie aandag daar. Maar anders is dit baie rustig en stil in die natuur.

Excellent location and view, but unfortunately a bit neglected.
When it comes to views, you'll find no better. Sitting on the porch/lapa looking at the view was amazing. Very spacious and serene. And loved the hiking route. Unfortunately the place have been neglected. The swimming pool was leaking and not cleaned when we got there. The leak was fixed the same day, however the pool only got cleaned by day 3 of our visit. The fridge wasn't working, however another fridge was provided. We had to call Bruce several times, as we had no water, the Jacuzzi was not working, and as mentioned the swimming pool only got ...

The fridge wasn't working, however another fridge was provided. We had to call Bruce several times, as we had no water, the Jacuzzi was not working, and as mentioned the swimming pool only got cleaned by day 3 of our visit, and the electricity went off several times due to the swimming pool/Jacuzzi/oven running at the same time. The caretaker went awol for the 1st 2 days of our visit, and without him, it would appear no-one could help. Bruce did try to send other people to assist, but unfortunately they did not know or understand how everything worked. With a bit more TLC and active management, we can see this would be a lovely place. As we experienced several and constant issues, this was not a memorable holiday.

Friendly staff. The atmosphere was exquisite.

It was really so nice. We really enjoyed it.
It was excellent, the place is well maintained and we enjoyed it. We did have some trouble with the gas geyser, but it won't stop us from staying there again. We will definitely go again. It's very safe and the atmosphere with the boma was great. Thanks Bruce and David.
Dit was regtig baie lekker. Ons het dit so geniet.
Dit was puik, die plek is baie mooi opgepas en ons het lekker gekuier. Ons het so bietjie gesukkel met die gas geyser, maar dit sal glad nie keer dat ons nie weer soontoe gaan nie. Ons sal vir seker weer daar gaan kuier. Dis baie veilig en die atmosfeer met die boma was uitstekend. Baie dankie Bruce en David.

Fantastic time, pleasantly surprised.
We had such a nice stay at Magaliesberg Mountain Lodge and will definitely go again. With all the rain the road was very muddy, but that was part of the fantastic experience and adventure. Thanks to Bruce who made sure that we didn't struggle finding the place. The place is very beautifully kept. We could have used wine glasses though. Awesome place with so much beauty.
Fantastiese tyd, aangenaam verras.
Ons het so lekker gekuier by Magaliesberg Mountain Lodge en gaan vir seker weer gaan. Met al die reën was die pad baie modderig, maar dit was deel van die fantastiese ervaring en avontuur. Baie dankie aan Bruce wat seker gemaak het ons sukkel nie om ons bestemming te bereik nie. Die plek word verskriklik mooi in stand gehou. Ons sou egter kon doen met wynglase. Awesome plek met soveel skoonheid.

The views were spectacular, out of this world.
The lodge was clean and David the manager was super. This is a home away from home. This is a gem. The only turn off is the location which I believe can be reached by an SUV comfortably, normal vehicles are not suited for this terrain. My friends and I agreed this was a trip to remember. We would do it again if it was not for the location.
Thanks for the review Debbie. I will try and improve the road over time.

Had an awesomely awesome time. The place was amazing and so was the service. David, the caretaker, is the best! Only the road up the hill was not nice at all, off road with a car sucks, and that will in the end stop me from returning.

As jy kans sien vir die grondpad is dit beslis die moeite werd. Die huis is redelik hoog teen die berg op en is omring deur bosse. Daar is wel 'n elektriese heining om die huis. Dit is baie stil, privaat en rustig. Die natuur is baie mooi om te aanskou. Daar is onder andere ook speletjies soos tafeltennis en snoeker om jou besig te hou. Dankie aan David wat op die erf bly wat baie behulpsaam is. Dankie aan die eienaar wat sy eiendom met ander deel.
Verskriklik lekker gebly en gerus. Sal enigetyd weer gaan!
Die plek bied alles aan wat adverteer word en is regtig waarde vir geld.
Many thanks for the positive feedback Jaco. We are very glad to see that you enjoyed your stay.

It was awesome and David was super.
The caretakers were so good to us and I would go back any day. I loved the peacefulness and the bids singing and we felt very safe.
