Alto Log Cabin

Onvergeetlike wegbreek.

My vriendin het 'n onvergeetlike naweek weg van die gejaagdheid van die alledaagse lewe geniet. Dankie vir alles.

Rustig.

Dit was baie rustig en 'n gesellige plek.

Awesome.

Beautiful place with an amazing view.

Great break away.

Really enjoyed being able to unplug and reset at this place. It really offered me exactly what I needed, which was to break away from the typical city buzz and detox from technology.

Dit was lekker om daar te woon.

Ek het baie lekker gebly.

The log cabin was very isolated and quiet with a fantastic view.

If you want complete quiet with limited cellphone interruptions, this is the place. It is 7 km down a gravel road and 25 km from the nearest shops. It is a place to go and completely chill out. The view is spectacular with views of all parts of Gauteng all lit up at night. On the way back to the M5, we stopped at a Jodev Farm Stall which sold all types of meat and homegrown vegetables. Would go back again.

Heerlike battery herlaai.

Was 'n heerlike tyd. Rustigheid en natuurskoon was so lekker.

Rustige verblyf.

Sal weer oorslaap. Rustig en naby meeste plekke waar ons moes wees.

Great place to unwind.

The cabin is very homely with everything you need to self-cater and a gas geyser for guaranteed hot water. We loved the views over the Rhino and Lion Park, the peace and quiet, and the call of the jackal in the evenings. A great weekend getaway!

What a gorgeous setting!

If you're looking for isolation, this is it. We had such a peaceful time and the attention to detail was such a lovely warm touch. Thank you for sharing this beautiful gem with us! If you look at the pictures you can believe that this is the scenery you are going to get. Spectacular sunrises! The lions roaring and jackals are about the only sound you hear. Love that there is no TV! Absolutely stunning!

Peaceful and relaxing.

Peaceful and clean cottage. Great quality bedding, beds and pillows. Pretty and well-maintained. Not enough space in main kitchen bin. Ran out of hot water various times due to water pump not working when power is off - they need a solution for this as it impacts the overall experience. Website says that they offer hiking trails, but none are located at their venue. Very disappointing. Blinds on main windows still let in the bright light at night, impacting sleep. Insufficient lights when power is off. Owners could have checked up on guests more. No gas heaters provided although cold in winter and without electricity to run heaters.

Absolutely loved it.

Will definitely go back. I would recommend a minimum stay of 2 nights. I love the tranquility and nature.

Beautiful, nature-filled break.

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alto Lodge. It was so peaceful and relaxing. I would recommend it to anyone needing to get away from the city bustle without having to drive too far.

Avontuur.

Dit was 'n wonderlike verjaarsdagviering saam met vriende in die pragtige hout cabin wat gevoel het soos hemel tussen die berge en die verafgeleë stad. Wonderlik gewees.

Hidden gem.

Alto Log Cabin is geleë een uur van Pretoria af wat dit die ideale wegbreek maak as jy graag nie omring wil wees met mense nie. Dit is letterlik 'n Cabin in die berge en dale van daai area se plase. So dis privaat en die landskap is beeldskoon. In die vroegoggend kan jy in jou bed sit en koffie drink terwyl jy die sonsopkoms bekyk en die laatmiddag kan jy die sonsak aanskou terwyl jy kosmaak op die gasbraaier. In die aande kan mens soms ook leeus hoor brul van die buurplase af en wildehonde. Jy kan ook perdry as jy sou wou - dit is 'n ekstra bespreking. En dan kan mens rondloop in die landskappe ook. Of jy kan net op die stoep met 'n koffie sit terwyl jy die ongelooflike "view" beskou in stilte.

Heerlike, rustige wegbreek.

Ek, my man en ons 20 maande oue dogtertjie het ons tydjie by Alto Log Cabin baie geniet. Die uitsig is pragtig, die beskuit heerlik, en die naggeluide (leeus en wildehonde) besonders! Die eienaars is lieflike mense, en baie gasvry en akkommoderend. Die verblyf is netjies en meer as groot genoeg, en alles werk soos dit moet. Mens sou dink die houthuis is koud (veral van Mei maand af) en hoewel die luggie buite koud was met rukke, het ons glad nie koud gekry binne die huis nie. Daar is ook oorgenoeg verwarmers indien mens dit sou nodig kry. Dankie vir hierdie juweel wat jul met ons deel!

So rustig met die mooiste uitsigte!

Lekker naby aan 'n hele paar besienswaardighede. Maar as jy net 'n afskakelnaweek soek is dit beslis die plek vir jou.

Great value for money.

Amazing views at sunrise and sunset, great braai available. The cabin is sparkling clean and has everything you need including towels and even a fan/heater. Will definitely be back.

Lekker gesellige houthuisie waar 'n mens kan wegkom van die stad se lawaai!

Beslis die moeite werd om vir Peter en Annemarie te kom kuier. Pragtige uitsigte en regtig so rustige juweel van 'n plekkie! As jy gelukkig is hoor jy ook die leeus brul omrede hulle baie naby aan die Rhino and Lion Park geleë is.

Die moeite werd!

Baie oulike plekkie, mooi view vanaf balkon, stil en kry goeie rus in. Kan die leeus hoor brul en die perdry was baie lekker en 'n avontuur om so tussen bokke en zebras te loop. Annie en Peter is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig! Sal definitief weer terug gaan.

It felt homely and tranquil.

The cabin was well equipped, well furnished and clean, thus, affording us the freedom and peace we desired for a relaxing getaway.

Netjies, skoon Log Cabin.

Baie dankie aan Peter and Annemarie, julle is twee wonderlike mense. Ek en my seun het ons Pa-Seun wegbreek verskriklik geniet. Alto Log Cabin is n wonderlike bestemming as jy stilte soek. Die naggeluide (leeus wat brul en jakkalse wat tjank) was wonderlik. Die perdry was regtig spesiaal en word hoogs aanbeveel, selfs vir onervare ruiters. Sal beslis weer kom kuier.

Rustigheid en sielerus in die natuurskoon!

Skoon, netjies, gerieflik, stil en het die natuurskoon so baie geniet. Ons sal weer van die verblyf gebruik maak.

Klein juweel naby aan die stad.

Alto Log cabin is presies wat ons wou hê en was alles wat adverteer was. Na my dag by die Rhino & Lion Park was dit die perfekte oornagplek net agter die Leeukamp. Cabin is goed toegerus en die gasbraai op die stoep was 'n wenner. Heerlike tuisgemaakte beskuit, tee, koffie en melk was beskikbaar. Naggeluide van jakkalse en kiewiete laat jou dink jy is honderde kilometer van die huis. Ons het die oggend lekker gaan stap en die perderuiters langs die pad gekry. Baie dankie vir heerlike verblyf teen bekostigbare prys. Ons het reeds ons vriende vertel.

Wonderlik!

Baie lekker gekuier en wonderlike diens!

Superb solitude and silence.

Fantastic sun and moon risers and sunsets! Absolutely a great place to spend with your partner, reading, painting, drawing, or just playing board games together. Hearing the neighbouring lions roaring and the ever-chatty jackals at night was also very cool.

Absoluut 'n wonderlike plekkie.

Dit was nou 'n belewenis gewees. Dit was net wat ons nodig gehad het. Dit was my Ma se verjaarsdag. Dit was so stil en rustig. Al was ons net een aand daar, het ons dit so geniet. Stilte en die mooi omgewing. Jy voel rêrig of jy diep in die bos is. En dit is so naby aan die stad. Sal dit definitief aanbeveel vir enige een wat net wil rus en vrede hê vir 'n rukkie. 'n Mens vergeet van al die besige lewe van die stad. Absoluut wonderlik.

Knus, met'n asemrowende uitsig.

Die eienaars was baie gaaf en die verblyf was skoon en baie netjies. Alles was agtermekaar wat bydra tot 'n rustige wegbreek.

We had a lovely cosy time.

The cabin was such a lovely experience. It was a rainy weekend and we had a wonderful experience throughout. The location is breathtaking, our host was caring and warm.

A beautiful location where the air is fresh, you have space to breathe.

Peter and Annemarie are brilliant hosts, warm and welcoming and very accommodating. It is wonderful to sit on the deck at night, with space all around you while you listen to the lions roar and the black-backed jackals barking. What a glorious privilege to be able to listen to the wind blowing a cool breeze at night. The cabin is bright, cheerful and even if you are sitting inside it still feels as if you are sitting outside because of all the windows. It is very private location, which is nice when needing a break from people. The outback horse ride was wonderful. While you are riding, you are surrounded by beautiful valleys and hills, with wildlife such as springbuck, blue wildebeest and zebra walking around with you. It is a lovely place with lovely hosts. You will not regret it.

Rustigheid vir die siel.

Asemrowende uitsig, leeus wat brul, jakkalse wat tjank. As jy op die stoep sit voel jy sommer baie nader aan die natuur. Ons het ‘n heerlike naweek gehad.

Absoluut die moeite werd as jy wil weg kom van die stad se gejaag en geraas!

Ons was baie verras met ons aankoms. Die plekkie was netjies en ons is verras met 'n bottel sjampanje vir ons huweliksherdenking. Die heerlike beskuit waarmee ons bederf is. Ons het alles op geëet. Die getjank van die jakkalse en die leeus se geluide het mens net weer soveel nader aan die natuur asook ons Skepper laat voel. Trevor het kom inloer en heerlik saam gesels. Annemarie en Trevor, baie dankie vir julle gasvryheid en vriendelikheid. Ons het die verblyf baie geniet en sal vir seker weer gebruik maak van Alto Log Cabin.

Peaceful and quiet.

We booked in for one night. We loved the peaceful and quiet.The evening we enjoyed a night cap. We heard the jackal cries all around. The morning we woke with sun coming up over the hills and valleys around us. Silently the hot air balloons rose in the distance. The Lion and Rhino Park's back fence was near us and you could hear the wild dogs' feeding frenzy. I would have loved to stay longer and will return for a longer visit.

Absoluut rustig en pragtig.

Ons sal Alto Log Cabin aan enige iemand aanbeveel wat op soek is na rustigheid en vrede vir jou siel weg van die stadsgedruis met uitsig om van te droom. Die leeus se gebrul en jakkalse se tjank in die nag maak dit net soveel beter.

The pictures do not do this place justice.

Great stay for a mini getaway and great value for money.

Rus vir die siel.

Ons het 'n wonderlike tyd gehad, rus vir die siel, die wegbreek uit die stad en die stilte was fantasties. Die plekkie is so netjies en skoon, en al die klein detail het ons verwagtinge oortref, baie dankie, ons sal julle vir seker weer besoek!

Great place to relax and unwind.

Awesome getaway and an awesome place. Clean and neat. Will definitely go back, really enjoyed our stay!

Dit is baie verwelkomend en baie huislik.

Hierdie is 'n ideale plekkie as jy en jou maat 'n tydjie heeltemal alleen wil wees. Dit was wonderlik en was eenvoudig met 'n lekker intieme ervaring. Jy het 'n wonderlike uitsig en die stilte verseker dat jy die rustigheid van die natuur kan ervaar. Waar jy vergeet van die gejaag op paaie en dinge wat jou altyd te besig hou.

Heerlik.

Pragtige plek om die natuur te geniet. Plek was skoon en netjies en veilig. Sal vir seker weer gaan.

Alto Log Cabin het net weereens bevestig hoe nodig en hoe goed die stilte van die natuur die siel doen.

Dit was wonderlik om vir 'n paar dae die besige stadslewe agter te laat en dit in te ruil vir stilte, skildery mooi uitsigte en nag geluide van soveel verskillende tipe diere (jakkalse en leeus).

Perfect getaway not far from the city to relax and enjoy the sounds of nature.

We were met on the day by Peter who showed us to the cabin, all was very neat, modern and clean. The views from the chalet are awesome, whilst relaxing having a braai at night taking in the sounds and views. We were lucky to here the sounds of the lions and wild dogs at night, when the wind dropped. An extra treat for my daughter was a horse ride later in the day of which she thoroughly enjoyed, later the horses came up to the cabin where we gave them some extra carrots and apples. We also managed to see a jackal and rabbits around the cabin.

Ons het ongelooflike lekker gerus.

Dit is heerlik om 5:00 in die oggend met 'n koppie koffie in die hand buite te kan sit en kyk hoe die son opkom terwyl jy luister na die leeus wat brul in die agtergrond. Werklik uniek. Alto Log Cabin is 'n goeie keuse as jy wil afskakel van die stadslewe.

Rustig en asemrowend.

Stunning, veral die naglewe en geluide van die leeus en jakkalse.

Great stay and clean cabin. Well kitted out.

See stars.

Absolutely beautiful cabin.

Alto Log Cabin is definitely worth a visit for either a weekend getaway or just to get away from the mad rush of day-to-day living for couples or for families. Situated on a beautiful farm with a view for miles, listening to the lions roar and watching jackals run down the hill, there was never a dull moment. Plus seeing the horses roam around the cabin on the Sunday morning just added to the weekend. The cabin is well equipped for your every needs, and the hosts are extremely gracious and friendly. We cannot wait for the braai area to be built but the gas braai did the job just as well. We will definitely be back.

Awesome! Die plek is so mooi en mens voel so ver van als af.

Dis 'n baie lekker plekkie sal weer gaan.

Excellent.

Alto Log Cabin has a breathtaking view and is a few meters away from the white lion and wild dog camps situated within the Rhino and Lion Nature Reserve. We could hear the lion roars and wild dog twitters in the evenings and throughout the night. There is a lot to do in the area, and after a full day out on Saturday we enjoyed the most peaceful evening. My daughter and wife went for a lovely horse ride with the owner, Annemarie, Sunday morning. This was definitely one of our favorite weekends and a very relaxing experience for my wife's birthday. Thank you so much for having our family in your cabin.

Fantasties.

Wat 'n aangename belewenis, die plek is pynlik netjies en daar was vars proteas op die tafel, koffie en suiker en tee, melk in yskas en heerlike beskuit om te geniet. Die eienaars het ons soos familie laat voel. Beslis 'n moet ruskansie vir enige een!

Hemels om alleen te kon wees in die natuur.

Die huis was so lekker warm en snoesig. Die bederf met sjampanje en briefie spesiaal vir my, het my verjaarsdag so baie spesiaal gemaak. Ek beveel hierdie plek aan vir enige iemand wat net stilte en rustigheid verkies. Baie dankie vir die wonderlike tyd wat ek by julle kon spandeer.

Baie lekker.

Baie lekker plek, baie rustig en veilig, ideaal vir afskakel.

'n Regte juweel!

Alto Log Cabin is a regte juweel. Met die mooiste uitsig en geluide van leeus wat brul in die verte is ongelooflik. Ek dankbaar dat ons hierdie plekkie gevind het.

Quick getaway for the weekend. Stunning views, listening to the sounds of the lions and jackals.

Upon arrival we were welcomed by Peter, the owner, who had the cabin open and ready for us. For a quick getaway we were pleasantly surprised at the comfort of the cabin and with the views and the calls of nature. We will be back. If you take your kids, take their bikes as there is a fantastic bike park at Rhino and Lion park for them.

Rustig.

Stil, rustig, pragtig. 'n Fantastiese wegbreekplekkie. Het dit vreeslik geniet. Net wat ons nodig gehad het. Dankie.

Rus vir die siel.

Baie vriendelike gasheer en gemeenskap.

Asemrowend mooi.

Alto Log Cabin is die perfekte wegbreek van die stad af. Die ligging is baie mooi en 'n mens kan agter die renoster- en leeupark verby ry en verniet na die diere kyk wat 'n ekstra bonus is. Baie netjies en goed versorg, mooiste sonsopkoms uit jou bed en daar is baie om te doen in 'n radius van 20 km.
