Ons het heerlik gekuier en die kaggel was fantasties in die koue.

Ons kuier was baie lekker gewees, die kaggel is hemels as dit so koud is en ons het gratis hout gekry om mee te braai en vir die kaggel te gebruik. Ons sal beslis weer teruggaan.

We had a great time and the fireplace was fantastic in the cold.

Our visit was very nice, the fireplace is heavenly when it is so cold and we got free wood to braai with and use for the fireplace. We will definitely go back again.

Dit is elke keer die beste plekkie vir 'n naweek wegbreek. Die eienaars is altyd so vriendelik en die huisies is so lekker snoesig in die natuur.

Was lekker vir sakereis gewees, het net oorgeslaap, kon nie veel van die natuur geniet nie, agv te laat in die aand opgedaag. Die wild en voëls kan 'n rustige verblyf gee.

Nie soos geadverteer nie.

Huisie was netjies, maar daar is geen staproetes of wildkyk op die gronde nie en in julle advertensie sê dit dat daar staproetes en wildkyk is. Dis net 'n plaas wat nie bewerk word met huisies vir slaapplek nie, daar is wel 'n swembad vir almal se gebruik.

Omring met tuine, bome en uitsigte op die Magaliesberge.

Wonderlike gerieflike verblyf weg van die stad af, en 'n vinnige ry vanaf die Wesrand in Gauteng. Eenheid was goed toegerus en kon heerlik vuurmaak. Plek is goed ingerig met ongelooflike uitsigte, en 'n heerlike swembad. Dink ook dit is gerieflik as mens die chalets uitbespreek vir 'n familie kuier naweek. Naggeluide omring 'n plaaskuier, en laat jou voel asof jy vêr weg is van die stadsgewoel. Skottelbraai is 'n bederfie vir 'n lekker buite ontbyt.

Surrounded by gardens, trees and views of the Magaliesberge.

Wonderful comfortable accommodation away from the city, and a quick drive from the West Rand in Gauteng. Unit was well equipped and could make a great fire. Place is well furnished with incredible views, and a lovely swimming pool. Also think it is convenient if you book the chalets for a family visit weekend. Night sounds surround a farm visit, and make you feel as if you are far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Skotelbraai is a treat for a nice outdoor breakfast.

Was only for one night.

There are a few things that need to be fixed such as the big crack in the wall in the cottage, cobwebs behind the curtains and under the sink. Roof fans would be a better option instead of free standing fans and spiders in cottage 4 and the refrigerator that does not work in number 4.

The most amazing place to de-stress, refresh and reconnect.

I was looking for a place to 'find' myself, to find the meaning of my existence and my purpose on this planet, so I was looking for a place where I could be alone. I found it at Ekukhuleni. The place was more than I expected. It gave me space, privacy, safety and serenity. In the week that I spent there, I came back refreshed, reconnected, found my purpose, reconnected with my God and ready to face the world. I fell in love with the place and am planning to make it an annual retreat. The hosts were amazing, made me feel welcomed and special.

Exactly what we needed.

A weekend away to just relax with family in a quiet and country-type location. We enjoyed our time and the kids found loads to do in nature and swimming in the pool. The bedrooms are large and comfy and we had everything we needed for our stay. Our only suggestion for next time would be a mowed path to do a few walks if possible. Otherwise fantastic.

Alhoewel ons begrip het vir die droogte toestand, sou enkele buitelig-aktiwiteite, behalwe swem, die verblyf meer interessant gemaak het.

Peaceful and quiet, perfect to unwind and just be.

The hosts are very welcoming and helpful, you feel safe and completely at ease. The cottage is lovely and comfortable and the walks available on the farm are so scenic. If you are an avid bird lover, this is the place to come to as there have been over 145 different species spotted on the farm. I loved listening to the birds and did not realize that there were so many different bird calls.

Rustig. Paradys vir voëlkykers.

Die eenheid waarin ons gebly het, was skoon en netjies, maar het dringend instandhouding nodig. Die deure se skarniere kraak en haak vas, my man moes ons badkamer s'n met kookolie bykom. Verf dop af op etlike plekke, die voordeur kan net van binne sluit met 'n hangslot en die een toilet lek. Verder is die naam Game Farm misleidend aangesien die wild tans bestaan uit 'n somtotaal van 2 koedoes.

Restful. Paradise for bird watchers.

The unit we stayed in was clean and tidy but in urgent need of maintenance. The door hinges crack and catch, my husband had to add cooking oil to our bathroom. Paint peeling off in several places, the front door can only be locked from the inside with a padlock and the one toilet leaks. Furthermore, the name Game Farm is misleading as the wildlife currently consists of a total of 2 kudus.

Heerlik gebly.

Geen wild gesien nie. Cottage 1 en 2 is ver van die swembad af. Gaste moet op 'n baie vergroeide voetpad loop of ry na dit toe. Plaaspad vanaf die teerpad is heel goed, maar die doringbosse is bietjie dig en krap voertuie. Cottage self baie mooi ingerig en gemaklik. Kan dalk voorstel hul kry OpenView HD dekodeerder vir meer opsies vir TV kyk.

Had a wonderful stay.

No wildlife seen. Cottage 1 and 2 are far from the pool. Guests have to walk or drive to it on a very overgrown footpath. Farm road from the tarmac is very good, but the thorn bushes are a bit dense and scratch vehicles. Cottage itself very nicely furnished and comfortable. Might suggest they get OpenView HD decoder for more options for watching TV.

It was very nice. Very calm. There was just no game. Lots of birds.

We went for a walk but could not have seen the wildlife. The bird life is very active. They can concentrate more on that with the fact that there is no wildlife. Like feeding place and water bowls for the birds. Will definitely go again.

We had to make the best of what we had, because it was a getaway much needed.

It's a place with a lot of potential, but requires enormous renovation. Pool area needs improvement, chairs, shelter, place where you can sit while watching others swim. Drainage systems need to be fixed. The place requires a lot of consideration and renovation. But the owner Karen is very nice.

Our stay was great, but the fact that the gravel road to the farm is very dark in the evening. The gate must be manually opened fortunately it was not raining, however my concern is that a better way to manage access to the farm is needed as anyone can come and open the gate.

Great stay we had however better gate access management is needed for safety purposes.

Ek en my vrou het veilig gevoel nie weens dat daar geen veiligheidshekke voor die voor en agter deure was nie. Enige iemand kan inloop as jy die deur oop los vir vars lug.

Ons het opgemerk in die boom langs die huis was daar 'n tou met kabel aan, gelyk soos 'n galg. Ons het Saterdagmiddag gery omdat ons nie veilig gevoel het nie. Ek het met Karin daaroor gepraat Maandag en sy sê hulle gebruik dit vir verf rollers om droog te maak. Ons sal nie weer daarna toe gaan nie!

My wife and I did not feel safe because there were no security gates in front of the front and back doors. Anyone can walk in if you leave the door open for fresh air.

We noticed in the tree next to the house there was a rope with cable on it, looking like a gallows. We drove on Saturday afternoon because we didn't feel safe. I talked to Karin about it on Monday and she said they use it for paint rollers to dry. We will not go there again!

Baie lekker gebly en net so lekker gekuier.

Ons het 'n lang grondpad verwag, maar is begroet met 'n betondubbelspoorpad wat gehelp het met die baie reën en kondisie van die toegangspad. Karen was baie vriendelik met ons ontvangs en het ons die verskeie chalets gaan wys. Ons was aangenaam verras oor die grootte van die dubbelkamer-chalets. Baie ruim met baie plek om te braai en kuier. Swembad, alhoewel bietjie diep vir sommiges, was welkome lafenis van die warm weer. Ideaal vir naweekwegbreek as jy net wil rus en is binne trefafstand van beide Pretoria en Johannesburg. Sal beslis weer teruggaan.

Had a great time.

We expected a gravel road, but were met by a concrete double track road wel found welcome after the heave rains. Karen was very friendly and showed us the various chalets. We were pleasantly surprised at the size of the double room chalets. Very spacious for socialising around the braai. The pool, though quite deep, was such a welcome refreshment in the heat. Ideal for weekends close to Gauteng. Would love to go back there.

Perfect for a relaxing long weekend.

If you are looking for a quiet, comfortable, affordable and very clean place to get away to that's close to Joburg, this is it! Although there were other guests, we felt like we had the place to ourselves while we enjoyed bird-watching, strolling around and making use of the very nice built-in braai. If you're lucky, you might even see the kudu and impala on the property. Karen and her husband were friendly and helpful hosts - the nights we were there were very chilly, so we requested extra firewood which they provided at no additional cost. We would happily return.

Clean and tidy.

Although the hostess was very friendly, unfortunately there were things that did not work. The TV remote control was broken and the gas grill didn't work at all, even after we asked for another gas bottle. Only 2 plates of the stove worked. The hostess was really very friendly and helpful, but we are of the opinion that the cottage needs some upgrading and attention should be paid to small things (such as the toilet brush which was very dirty).

The game farm was great we had our private time and the staff didn't bother us they were there when we needed them. I wish they can put lights by the pool so that we could swim at night. The pool was clean, we enjoyed swimming and they were nice to allow us 2 hours more to check out. The check out time is so perfect, 4 pm, so we had enough time to enjoy before departure.

The owner Karen was friendly and helpful, the cottage very spacious and clean. Not crazy about the location of the cottage or view from the veranda.

Thank you to Karen for her friendliness and assistance. The cottage was spacious and clean and the bedrooms roomy. We would probably have rated the cottage higher if our stay was in winter. We would strongly recommend that they install overhead (silent) fans in the bedrooms and lounge, as the stand alone fans were very noisy and inadequate especially in summer.

Karen, 'n lieflike mens het ons hartlik ontvang, 'n beter woonplek aangebied en die stilte van die omgewing, was wonderlik.

Karen, 'n lieflike mens het ons hartlik ontvang, 'n ander woonplek aangebied (nr .4), nie nr. 2 nie. Sy het gepraat van die grassnyer wat ingegee het. Kon sien dat instandhouding tussen die wooneenhede baie werk nodig het. Kokkerotte in een kas. Geen wild gesien nie. Kragonderbreking het elke aand gebeur, net vir kort tye. Onderdakparkering by die wooneenhede sal 'n pluspunt wees.

Covered parking at the residential units would be a plus.

Dit was 'n heerlike wegbreek uit die stad, die stilte en bosveld was 'n lafenis.

Dit is ideale akkommodasie opsie vir mense wat wil wegkom van die stad. Die stilte en natuur was 'n ware lafenis. Dis ook lekker sentraal vir toerisme-aantreklikhede. Daar is baie minder wild op die plaas as aangedui op die webtuiste, die "obstacle course" bestaan ook nie meer nie en die wandelpaaie was oorgroei met gras, sodat dit enige wandelinge bemoeilik het. Dit was heerlik om by die dam te sit.

It's a very beautiful place but I think they need to cut trees a little bit as they are falling all over the place and also need to install remote gate to ensure safety of the guests, especially at night. We were so scared as we arrived late and we had to open the gate, ayi, it's not ayoba, but other than that everything was perfect. I love the place.
