We had the most wonderful and authentic African bush feeling. This remote place is stunning and the view from the house incredible. We enjoyed the terrace and braii area with wonderful sunsets. The walks in the reserve are one of a kind. We saw Zebras, Kudus, Duikers and so much more. Magdalena was so helpful and made this stay memorable. Our hearts are full. Thanks Elna.

Accommodation is amazing, 6 private en-suite chalets with a central boma area that has 3 separate kitchens with everything you could need to cook (there is a restaurant level prep kitchen). Pool is amazing but be okay with nature being around you, and do the game drives offered by Josh, so worth it! Sundowners by the hippo pool are a must and nightly fires lit for you are such a perk. This place is amazing, it’s huge and brilliant for a big family get away. Privacy and entertainment all in one, and the game on the farm is plentiful and so beautiful. The photos do not do this justice, the place will blow you away when you arrive. But bypass Airbnb and contact the host directly on their website, responsive and will save you some bucks.

Duiker cottage is a wonderful place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The house is comfy and beautifully done. The bush is peaceful and the walking trails are great. We saw a nice variety of game and really enjoyed the peace and quiet. Thank you Nikki and Andrew.

A very tranquil experience. The hosts were extremely friendly and very professional. Even with load shedding they kept us updated on load shedding times and ensured we had backup lights etc to make sure we were comfortable. Definitely aim to return, hopefully with a larger group.

Absolutely beautiful location. So private. So peaceful. We love this spot and will be back again. Thank you for an amazing stay!

An absolutely fantastic getaway! The Bungalow exceeded all expectations and provided the perfect escape from the city. The natural hot spring was undoubtedly the highlight—soaking in the 50°C mineral-rich water under the stars was an unforgettable experience. The property is beautifully secluded, offering complete privacy with stunning riverfront views, mountain scenery, and an abundance of birdlife. It’s the ideal place to relax, disconnect, and enjoy nature at its finest. The bungalow itself has a unique rustic Mediterranean-African charm, blending effortlessly with the natural surroundings. The braai and pizza oven were great additions, making outdoor cooking a pleasure. We also appreciated the fast WiFi, which worked even when there were temporary power trips (to clarify—there was no load shedding during our stay). A standout experience was the magical three-course meal Schalk arranged for us atop one of the nearby mountains.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Our host was very friendly and always available when we needed something. The place is beautiful and very peaceful. I would recommend this for anyone wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Palala isa great place to relax from the stress of normal life. Nicely tucked away next to the palala river you can go for great walks, explore the surroundings by car and have a nice braai in the evenings (or at any time you like). We were here for the third time and will come again next time in SA.

The house and its location were both beautiful, with no neighbors in sight. Soekie was a wonderful host. We enjoyed seeing many animals on the game drive. Please arrive promptly to avoid getting lost.
