Asemrowende natuurskoon en sonsondergange met puik diens.

Het heerlik gebly, warm geslaap en het puik diens gekry. Sal definitief weer bespreek.

Kleine Eden.

Wow! Wat 'n lekker ondervinding. Lemar is 'n bestuurderes duisend! Lizzie het gasvrou gespeel en alles was in plek met aankoms. Niks is uitgelaat nie en al wat nodig is om uself te bring. Daar was genoeg warmgoed teen die winterkoue en selfs 'n lekker binnenshuise vuurherd vir braai. Die Njalas groet jou saam met 'n eekhoring of twee. Die watergat is baie privaat en mooi ingerig om die natuurliefhebber en visvanger te akkommodeer. Luilekker ontspanning met 'n glasie Merlot in die warm Jacuzzi op die opelugstoep laat enige stress sommer gou verdwyn terwyl die skemer daal en die voeltjies hul laaste dagsang afsluit en die paddakoor oorneem vir die nag onder 'n sterrehemel. Beddegoed is van goeie gehalte en skoon. Opgradering aanbevelings. Die enigste waardige opgradering wat sal moet geskied is die 2x TV's vir DStv, KYKnet Kanaal 144, 145, 146, 147 te Lapa en Moonstone Cottage.

Little Eden.

Wow! What a nice experience. Lemar is a manager of a thousand! Lizzie played hostess and everything was in place on arrival. Nothing has been left out and all you need to bring yourself. There were plenty of warm things against the winter cold and even a nice indoor fireplace for barbecuing. The Njalas greet you with a squirrel or two. The watering hole is very private and nicely designed to accommodate the nature lover and angler. Lazy relaxation with a glass of Merlot in the hot Jacuzzi on the open-air terrace makes any stress disappear quickly as dusk descends and the little ones finish their last song of the day and take over the frog's ear for the night under a starry sky. Bedding is of good quality and clean. Upgrade recommendations. The only worthy upgrade that will need to be done is the 2x TVs for DStv, KYKnet Channel 144, 145, 146, 147 at Lapa and Moonstone Cottage.

We had a great weekend away. The property has so many great activities to keep everyone busy. The scenery is perfect and peaceful. We pre-ordered food and everything was amazing. The hosts thought of everything and went out of their way to make it perfect.

Ek en my vrou reis baie oorsee en het SA al plat getoer. Hierdie is een van min wat my regtig verras het. Alklaar my vriende vertel en ons beplan om as n groep terug te gaan. Het die naweek geniet. Was goeie waarde vir geld en plek regtig veilig. Definitief n plek waar jy kan voete opskop. Word sterk aanbeveel.

My wife and I travel a lot overseas and have toured SA flat out. This is one of the few that really surprised me. All told my friends and we plan to go back as a group. Enjoyed the weekend. Was good value for money and place really safe. Definitely a place where you can kick your feet up. Highly recommended.

Dit was 'n aangename ervaring en besoek.

Dit is 'n baie mooi plek met vriendelike en behulpsame gashere. Ongelukkig moes ons vroeër vertrek as beplan en kon dus nie alles op die plaas en in die omgewing doen wat beskikbaar was nie. Hopelik volgende keer.

It is a very nice place with friendly and helpful hosts. Unfortunately we had to leave earlier than planned and therefore could not do everything on the farm and in the area that was available. Hopefully next time.

Pragtige plek om te rus en ontspan.

Ons was regtig aangenaam verras met Malmane. Die foto's lyk mooi, maar mens kan dit regtig net opsom as jy eers in persoon daar was. Die uitkyk oor die oog/dam verskaf 'n rustigheid wat 'n mens net langs die water kan kry. Daar is verskeie kamer-opsies. Ons vriende het die chalet geniet, en ons was dolgelukkig met die glamping opsie in 'n groot seiltent. Die area is ryk aan voëllewe, veral vroegoggend en laatmiddag. Lemar was 'n wonderlike gasvrou, en altyd beskikbaar op WhatsApp sou ons haar benodig. Die hoofhuis is meer as 100 meter weg, en steeds is die gaste-area totaal privaat agter bome weggesteek. Mens is nie eers bewus van hulle nie - so dit voel asof jy jou eie oord het net vir jouself. Die geriewe in die lapa (kombuis, binnebraai ens) is fantasties goedgerus, en daar is WiFi om in kontak te bly met die buitelewe (let dat selfoon-opvangs baie swak is, maar WhatsApp werk goed op die WiFi vir kommunikasie). Ons het nie die beste weer gehad nie (reën meeste van die tyd) so ons was grotendeels onderdak, maar het steeds die rus en stilte baie geniet. Ek kan die plekkie definitief aanbeveel vir 'n private groep of familiewegbreek. Dankie Lemar, dit was baie lekker om in jou plekkie te bly vir die paar dae!

Beautiful place to rest and relax.

We were really pleasantly surprised with Malmane. The photos look nice, but you can only really sum it up once you've been there in person. The view over the eye/pond provides a tranquility that one can only find next to the water. There are several room options. Our friends enjoyed the chalet, and we were delighted with the glamping option in a large canvas tent. The area is rich in bird life, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. Lemar was a wonderful hostess, and always available on WhatsApp should we need her. The main house is more than 100 meters away, and still the guest area is totally private hidden behind trees. You are not even aware of them - so it feels like you have your own resort all to yourself. The facilities in the lapa (kitchen, indoor barbecue etc.) are fantastically comfortable, and there is WiFi to keep in touch with the outdoors (note that mobile phone reception is very poor, but WhatsApp works well on the WiFi for communication). We didn't have the best weather (raining most of the time) so we were mostly under cover, but still really enjoyed the peace and quiet. I can definitely recommend the place for a private group or family break. Thank you Lemar, it was very nice to stay in your place for the few days!

Baie goeie kliëntediens!

Dit was heerlik gewees! Ons het ver gereis en laat die aand daar arriveer en vroeg weer gery, maar was baie mooi gehelp deur Lemar - sy het uitstekende aanwysings gegee en het heeltyd seker gemaak alles is 100%! Alle geriewe is skoon, mooi en baie aangenaam gewees! Ons sal weer daar bly as ons weer in die omgewing kom!

It was delicious! We traveled a long way and arrived there late in the evening and drove again early, but were very nicely helped by Lemar - she gave excellent directions and made sure all the time that everything was 100%! All facilities were clean, beautiful and very pleasant! We will stay there again if we are in the area again!

An absolute gem.

What a hidden treasure, a truly beautiful setting full of bird life and nature and the cleanest, clearest water in the "eye" that I've ever seen. A complete natural haven. Lamar went out of her way as regards every comfort for the stay, a beautiful bedroom complete with percale linen, huge bath tub and lovely little details to attention in all aspects. Recommended.

We had an absolutely wonderful, ideal weekend at Malmane retreat.

Malmane retreat is the most relaxing place to stay. The cottage and lapa are both lovely, fully equipped with everything you may need, neat and clean and there are lovely touches added in many little areas. The setting is so magical, lush lawn to relax on, facing the beautiful dam with crystal clear water to play in. The water comes from a natural eye, which is such a treat to experience. Paddling around the dam looking into the clear water is so special. You can see the bottom, the fish swimming around and the water plants growing under the water. The abundant bird life and calls really warmed our hearts. There are lovely walks and woods to explore. Malmane retreat really has a special mood that helps one to relax and be at such peace. The hosts are so lovely and really went out of their way to make us feel special. Thank you.

Wonderlike geleentheid om te rus en net die natuurskoon te waardeer.

Ons ervaring by Malmane Eye Private Retreat was werklik een vir die boeke. Die huis is baie goed ingerig en alles is daar wat jy benodig en nog meer. Dis netjies, skoon en pragtig. Daar is net iets spesiaals van die plek wat moeilik is om te verwoord. Daar is die geleentheid om baie aktiwiteite te doen, soos fietsry en stap op die verskillende bos paadjies. Ons het ook heerlik geswem in die dammetjie wat kristalhelder water het. By Malmane sal jy definitief die natuurskoon net weereens kan waardeer en saam met dit goed kan uitrus vir 'n nuwe week.

Wonderful opportunity to rest and just appreciate the scenery.

Our experience at Malmane Eye Private Retreat was truly one for the books. The house is very well furnished and has everything you need and more. It's neat, clean and beautiful. There is just something special about the place that is hard to articulate. There is the opportunity to do many activities, such as cycling and walking on the various forest paths. We also had a great time swimming in the little pond which has crystal clear water. At Malmane you will definitely be able to appreciate the natural beauty once again and with it you can rest well for a new week.

Malmane Eye is 'n oase vir die siel!

Malmane Eye se verblyf is die ideale bestemming vir 'n wegbreek - of dit net jy en jou ander helfte is, of jy en jou hele gesin! Ons is vriendelik ontvang en Lemar het elke dag ingeloer om seker te maak dat ons alles het wat ons nodig het. Die ruim lapa en die aparte kothuis is omring met koeltebome en is reg langs die water van 'n natuurlike oog. Die lapa is goed toegerus, het addisionele slaapplek in die 'loft' en sy eie badkamer. Die Kothuis is snoesig, het ook 'n badkamer en 'bad met 'n uitsig'! Die ligging is perfek vir voël-kykers en vissermanne, aktiewe mense kan die springmat en kano geniet. As jy net wil ontspan is daar gemaklike lê-stoele waarin jy die natuurskoon en 'sundowners' kan geniet. Malmane Eye is sowat 50 km ('n gemaklike 40 minute se ry) na Mahikeng en jy kan daar tuisgaan as in die omgewing moet wees vir besigheid. Malmane is voorwaar 'n oase in die Noordwes-provinsie.

Malmane Eye is an oasis for the soul!

Malmane Eye's accommodation is the ideal destination for a getaway - whether it's just you and your other half, or you and your whole family! We were warmly received and Lemar checked in every day to make sure we had everything we needed. The spacious lapa and the separate cottage are surrounded by shade trees and are right next to the water of a natural eye. The lapa is well equipped, has additional sleeping space in the 'loft' and its own bathroom. The Cottage is cozy, also has a bathroom and 'bath with a view'! The location is perfect for bird watchers and fishermen, active people can enjoy the trampoline and canoeing. If you just want to relax there are comfortable reclining chairs in which you can enjoy the scenery and 'sundowners'. Malmane Eye is about 50 km (a comfortable 40 minute drive) to Mahikeng and you can stay there if you need to be in the area for business. Malmane is truly an oasis in the North West province.
