Absoluut fantasties.

Wat 'n wonderlike naweek saam met familie. Buffalo Hills is fantasties. Baie goed ingerig en prentjie mooi. Ons het heerlik ontspan en gekuier. Die feit dat die eenheid ook elke dag gediens word, is 'n absolute plus. Niks was te veel moeite vir die gasvrou/heer nie en kan ons net die plek se lof besing. Julle sien ons vir seker weer.

Absolutely fantastic.

What a wonderful weekend with family. Buffalo Hills is fantastic. Very well furnished and nice picture. We had a wonderful time relaxing and visiting. The fact that the unit is also serviced every day is an absolute plus. Nothing was too much trouble for the hostess and we can only sing the place's praises. You will see us again for sure.

Awesome, will definitely be back in the warmer months.

Nicole was friendly, welcoming, and very accommodating. The cottage felt like a (home away from home). The scenery, peace and quiet were enjoyed by all, even the young adults. The wildlife was breathtaking and an experience that will stay with us forever. All in all, the stay was worth the traveling.

Perfect and beyond expectations.

Our stay was just incredible - our whole group of 10 people were amazed at how wonderful the lodge is and the details that the owners have done to make you feel welcome. The facilities are perfect (definitely beyond expectation) and we had one of the most magical bonfires after which we lay watching the stars against the mountain that is lit up. We enjoyed sundowners while some of our group went looking for the rock paintings (a little bit of a challenge to find). We will definitely be back for a longer trip to explore and relax more.

Hi Stephanie,

Beautiful farmstay in the mist gorgeous surroundings.

This is a little piece of heaven. A lovely farmhouse well suited for a family get-together. The service was wonderful, and the house was clean. The kitchen was well equipped. The surroundings are so beautiful. The sand road is not as hectic as expected, and we were able to reach the farm perfectly. Kelvin was always on call if we needed anything. Will definitely be visiting again.

We had a delightful time.

We had a great time at such a beautiful place. The kids enjoyed the pool and the games that were provided by the host, and we also received great service. He made sure we never ran out of wood as the weather was a bit chilly. It's such a beautiful environment; we also saw different animals, and it's definitely nature at its best, surrounded by beautiful mountains. We are definitely going back.

Pragtige plek, perfek vir 'n wegbreek!

Uiters heerlike vakansie saam met my gesin en die perfekte plek om herinneringe te skep! Ons het in die Fishing Cottage gebly, waar ons gereeld deur die perde besoek was. Ons het vrylik toegang gehad tot die reservaat. Die uitsigte daar was pragtig, met skilderagtige heuwels, groen gras velde en 'n groot verskeidenheid wild en voëllewe. Wonderlike staproetes en die kinders het lekker in die helder poele vis gevang. Die cottage was skoon en gerieflik en was toegerus met alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Die personeel was puik, professioneel, baie vriendelik en behulpsaam! Dit was 'n unieke ervaring, veilig en afgesonder, en ons het die privaatheid en rustige atmosfeer geniet! Ons sal nie huiwer om hierdie plek aan te beveel nie. Ons sal definitief terug wees!

Beautiful place, perfect for a getaway!

Extremely lovely holiday with my family and the perfect place to create memories! We stayed in the Fishing Cottage, where we were often visited by the horses. We had free access to the reserve. The views there were beautiful, with picturesque hills, green grass fields and a great variety of wildlife and birdlife. Wonderful hiking trails and the children enjoyed catching fish in the clear pools. The cottage was clean and comfortable and was equipped with everything we needed. The staff were great, professional, very friendly and helpful! It was a unique experience, safe and secluded, and we enjoyed the privacy and peaceful atmosphere! We would not hesitate to recommend this place. We will definitely be back!

Ons het vreeslik lekker gekuier. Pragtige plek met die mooiste natuurskoon. Baie netjies en skoon, 5-ster-verblyf. En Jackson wat mooi na ons gekyk het van skoonmaak tot die generator aansit in loadshedding. En dan natuurlike die heerlike koffie, rooiwyn en steak wat ons as geskenk gekry het. Dit was heerlik. Baie dankie Buffalo Hills, julle sal ons vir seker weer sien.

Beautiful peaceful location.

Accommodation in the fishing cottage was perfect for a great getaway. Very well equipped and clean with many personal touches. Kitchen and braai area were serviced daily, discreetly and without any fuss which was a welcome surprise Extra blankets and wall heaters available and a fireplace with firewood supplied for chilly nights. Double bunk in the rondawel a little cramped. Very friendly and helpful staff. Communication prior to booking and en route was very good. Lovely view of the dam. Roads had taken a beating from the recent heavy rain but they were busy fixing them. During high rainfall, I would strongly recommend a 4x4 for drives in the reserve. Some roads in the reserve are passable only with a 4x4. Access road was fine as they had just graded it after the rains. Having wifi was a lovely addition. Well equipped for loadshedding with gas and rechargeable lamps. Braai area lovely with view of dam.

Peaceful and picturesque farm stay.

Beautiful place with tranquility and serene views! We were often visited by horses and farm animals, which brought a great experience. The place was equipped with everything we needed for self-catering. The fireplace, well stocked with wood, was a fantastic value add given the cold weather. We had some power disruptions, but they were attended to promptly. We really loved the great service from the team - they had a hands-on approach.

Oornag op pad Suidkus toe.

Ons het besluit om naby Harrismith te oornag aangesien ons gedink het die paaie baie besig sou wees die Vrydag wanneer die skool sluit en besluit om dag vroeër halfpad te ry. Die Cottage was baie maklik om te kry, ry presies op Google Maps tot by plek. Daar is nie sein nie maar as mens op die gratis WiFi aanteken kan mens boodskappe stuur. Dit is effens van lang grondpad maar die pad is rybaar en die vars lug, pragtige berge en natuur maak dit alles die moeite werd.

Overnight en route to the South Coast.

We decided to spend the night near Harrismith as we thought the roads would be very busy on the Friday when school closed and decided to drive half way earlier in the day. The Cottage was very easy to find, drive exactly on Google Maps to the location. There is no signal but if you log on to the free WiFi you can send messages. It is a bit of a long dirt road but the road is drivable and the fresh air, beautiful mountains and nature make it all worth it.

Wonderlike natuurskoon met elke dag iets nuuts om te doen.

Die plaashuis was vir ons familie 'n treffer. Met 'n badkamer vir elke kamer, ruim kombuis en vertrekke en 'n lieflike stoep as bonus. Jackson het elke dag kom skoonmaak. Die omgewing het iets vir almal aan te bied - visvang, stap, 4x4, wildkyk en 'n ryk voëllewe. Werklik 'n paradys vir natuurliefhebbers. Die Plaashuis is gemaklik en gerieflik, met 'n outentieke, langbestaan decor.

The area has something to offer everyone - fishing, walking, 4x4, game watching and a rich birdlife. Truly a paradise for nature lovers. The Farmhouse is comfortable and convenient, with an authentic, long-standing decor.

Beautiful setting, interesting historical buildings, spacious, clean and neat.

Guests should be warned on the website when booking that a 4x4 vehicle is advised. The 15 km dirt road is extremely slippery and treacherous in rainy conditions. Members of our group got stuck on Friday, however, a team from Buffalo Hills came to assist in getting them back on the road. We ourselves got stuck at the same spot when leaving on the Sunday. We were delayed for an hour but again they came to our rescue. The problem was also exacerbated by the bad cellular network in that area. Two of the non-4x4 vehicles in the group sustained damages as a result of bad road conditions.

Hi Melody, thank you for your star review. Unfortunately we had 160mm of rain the week before your stay, which had a severe impact on the condition of the road. Normally the road is quite accessible for a light motor vehicle as we do our utmost best to maintain the road to give our guests easy hassle free access to the reserve. Kind Regards

Saam met familie 'n bietjie weggekom.

Ons het 2 aande hier gebly. Dit was heerlik - ongelukkig het dit aanhoudend gereën, en die paaie was moeilik- selfs met ons 4x4. Maar die huise was snoesig en skoon en ons was mooi na gekyk en verwelkom. My enigste klag was die vlieë - dit was dalk omdat dit bedompig was, maar ek beveel aan dat daar meer gedoen moet word oor al die vlieë.

Got away with family for a bit.

We stayed here for 2 nights. It was lovely - unfortunately it rained continuously, and the roads were difficult - even with our 4x4. But the houses were cozy and clean and we were well looked after and welcomed. My only complaint was the flies - maybe it was because it was stuffy, but I recommend that more be done about all the flies.

Rustige kalm atmosfeer.

Die verblyf was baie mooi en netjies. Die omlggende area is beeldskoon. Die pad na die verblyf kort wel werk. Nicole en Bafana het moeite gedoen om ons welkom te laat voel. Die plaashuis gevoel was baie lekker en die buitelewe so mooi gekomplimenteer.

Calm calm atmosphere.

The accommodation was very nice and tidy. The surrounding area is picturesque. The road to the residence does need work. Nicole and Bafana made an effort to make us feel welcome. The farmhouse feel was very nice and complimented the outdoor life so nicely.

Awesome, beautiful views and accommodation.

We had an awesome long weekend and for our group of 12 people (4 generations) accommodation was amazing, spacious, and didn't short anything. Shaun was a star helping and Jackson was an absolute blessing. Our 4 grand children enjoyed the walks and animals as well as finding Peter Rabbit. Will definitely recommend. Thank you all, we had fun and enjoyed our stay.

Uitstekende slaapeenhede, privaat met asemrowende uitsig. Goed toegeruste kuierplek.

Sit-eetkamer baie, baie goed toegerus met hoë-kwaliteit toerusting. Lodge baie skoon en word goed onderhou. Die skoonmaakdiens is uitstekend en is altyd beskikbaar indien benodig. Die slaapeenhede is baie privaat met elkeen se eie karakter. Ons beste ervaring nog en asemrowend mooi.

We had a fabulous stay. Will definitely recommend to others. Harrismith was about 20 km away from tarred road, there was a Checkers and Spar also restaurants there.

Will definitely recommend to others. Nice place to relax away from the hustle and bustle. We took a 4x4 ride alongside the nature reserve, we saw plenty of buffalos, ostriches, baboons etc.

Peace & tranquillity.

Beautiful place offering good accommodation along with much needed peace & tranquillity. Owners were very helpful and even took us on an unexpected quick tour around the farm. The only concern are the gravel roads leading to venue and also on the farm. 4x4 a definite requirement to fully appreciate buffalo hills.

Dear Tracy,

Thank you for your review, we are so pleased to see that you have enjoyed your stay and we look forward to hosting you again in the future.We have also noted your comment about the 4x4 being required and will advise all future enquiries thereof.
