Oh my goodness! So unexpectedly nice, and the fireplace plus constant supply of wood made it sooooo nice! Let's not forget the perfect showers!! WOW!!! Staff were exceptional, and the location cannot be beat! You do need a car though.

Located 6 km from Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve, HighlandsView provides accommodation with a garden, a terrace and a shared kitchen for your convenience.

A barbecue is available on site and cycling can be enjoyed within close proximity of the lodge.

This place is an absolute MUST! It has everything you could want. Gorgeous views, truly friendly and hospitable hosts, and a really comfortable and luxurious accommodation! This is the perfect place for a reset, to connect deeply with family or friends, or a space to "switch off" from the distractions of the day. You feel completely separate from the hustle and bustle of city life here. We will recommend this place to anyone looking for a genuine getaway. We only stayed one night and had to leave earlier the next morning, so I HIGHLY recommend you book TWO nights, instead of just one. There is a refreshing dam to swim in, beautiful nature reserve walks/hikes, and hammocks to swing in and relax. It kind of has it all. My wife and I stayed here to spend quality time together, so we intentionally spent time mostly ourselves, but if you are looking for making new friendships and having a laugh, there is a communal space where you can enjoy that as well. We highly recommend this place, and will be back again if we are in the area! Don't miss the opportunity to stay here! If you are looking for a luxury outdoors experience to refocus, relax, or have fun this is the place for you!

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    Absolutely loved this place. A 85 hectare piece of land with lots of animals roaming around and you can walk among them. I was upgraded to one of the lodges, stunning view of the mountains, barbecue place, the bed was comfortable and all else was perfect.
