Had a great stay. Enjoyed all the wild animals at home.
The house needs some attention. Curtains are old and dirty, broken window in the kitchen, built-in braai is in very poor condition and cannot be used. Outside the kitchen, a solid door is needed that can close, instead of a security gate so you don't have to pack away all the food items and kitchen all the time. And to keep the monkeys out. The shower floor is very slippery when you shower, and had to use a bathroom mat in the shower to stand up so you don't slip and fall. The house's ceilings also need a good cleaning. Wooden floors, deck area and wooden arrangements need sanding and need to be re-varnished.

We were still very impressed with the outdoor kitchen. A small suggestion from my side would be to put a little more shade over the pool, but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed it!

It was quietly located in the woods and we had a great time relaxing. The monkeys were just a bit troublesome and maroleas falling on the roof. The little pond also a bit dirty and the swing was broken. The place needs some renovation.

Wonderful forest experience, with animal and bird sounds on your doorstep! The first forest house ever that is also really wheelchair friendly!
At Magani it feels like you are camping, because you feel so part of the forest, but with all the luxuries such as a hot shower and an aircon! We also have a son in a wheelchair and the house with his 'disaster' was an absolute bonus! We have now found our ideal place to stay for a Wildtuin holiday!

Quite convenient. Fairly clean. Many animals near the cottage were very cute.
Master bedroom bed's mattress was extremely uncomfortable. Springs press into your body when you lie on them. We threw the blankets that were on the single beds on the bed to sleep more comfortably. That gas geyser was also quite a challenge. Hot water stops all the time. Furthermore, the place was very cute.

It was peaceful, and a chance to get back into nature.
It was a bit "unnerving" when we were on our way and I didn't know which gate to enter, and I had to let the people know when we were at the gate (which gate) and they would take us "somewhere " get to hand over the keys - the process was very "blind" which I feel could have been avoided from the start - people tell from the start which gate to enter, where to be and what time, and where exactly is someone going to get them to hand over the keys. It makes planning a little better and puts people a little more at ease. The only other issue was the little electricity meter that beeped very loudly every 20 seconds in the master bedroom - we didn't know what to do - maybe there could be pre-charged power to avoid this? Furthermore, everything was 100%, we really enjoyed the outside kitchen, as well as the swimming pool, we will definitely visit again for the evenings!

Dear Melissa,
Thank you for your review. I will definitely mention to my future guests that there are 2 gates.
We do pre-load the electricity as stated when making the enquiry.
I will put a sign up in the house to notify people that when the meter beeps continuously it must get topped up.
Kind Regards

Nice close to the Wildlife Park and quiet in the woods!
We had a great time staying quietly in the woods without all kinds of city noise. The animals such as ostriches, ibex, warthogs and kudus came to say hello. Even a large group of mouse dogs. On the last day, the monkeys also came to show their eyes, but luckily they didn't bother. It was very nice to be able to visit the Wildtuin as well. We will visit again.

Nice in the forest and nice stay despite a few things that could be improved.
To get the keys I first had to call Rina (phone off) then I called Michelle who then gave me her son's number, who was also out of town and then gave me his father's number. He then found us at home. We were asked where we were, and when I replied that GPS said we were 1 min from destination, I was inappropriately told not how far I was - but where I was! There were only 2 towels and we were 2 adults and 3 children. The beds were clean but apart from that place was dusty and dirty inside. The pool was grass green within 1 day. There was no effort to do anything. The aircon unit in the living room leaked so much water that you couldn't use it. Cushions of outside area sofas are so dirty. We saw all the animals, fed kudu with apple, gave snacks of yogurt, lots of warthogs etc. The braai area and kitchen work well. Otherwise we slept and stayed well. If everything is maintained it will be good value for money. And better attention should be paid to welcome etc.

A wonderful place to rest and relax and enjoy nature.
Privately located, very neat and clean with enough sleeping space for 6 people. Nice little swimming pool and delicious braai area. The only problem we experienced was that the temperature of the hot water was not right. It doesn't have the geyser doesn't regulate the heat properly and was hot then freezing cold and the water runs out of the bath very slowly. Apart from the geyser it was a lovely place to stay and we will certainly use the accommodation again in the future.
