Peaceful escape from the city.

Loved our time at Melozhori. We had a really relaxing time out in nature and well isolated from the outside world! The cottage has been thoughtfully set up and really well stocked with all the essentials plus some bonus gifts on arrival. One small complaint would be to please do something about the large family of bats living in the roof above the main bedroom; they made quite a racket!

Hi Stephen. Thank you for the lovely review. We will certainly look into the bats. Apologies for that.

Wonderlike wegbreek!

Die stilte was goed vir die siel en die 360 grade-natuurskoon was 'n groot bederf. Ons was vriendelik ontvang, met Marzanne wat beskikbaar was vir enige vrae. Sam was 'n ongelooflike gids gewees wat die wildrit so interessant gemaak het! Namiddag stap op die plaas was heerlik. Die kothuis was baie goed toegerus - ons het niks gekort nie. Die hot-tub was 'n lekker bederf en die pizza-oond het die ervaring sommer net nog meer pret gemaak. Selfs die vlieë kon nie 'n groot genoeg demper op die kuier sit nie!

Wonderful getaway!

The silence was good for the soul and the 360 degree scenery was a great treat. We were warmly received, with Marzanne available for any questions. Sam was an amazing guide who made the game drive so interesting! Afternoon walk on the farm was lovely. The cottage was very well equipped - we lacked nothing. The hot tub was a nice treat and the pizza oven just made the experience even more fun. Even the flies couldn't put a big enough damper on the visit!

March fly season ruined our visit.

March appears to be a bad fly season. This, together with the excessive requirement for insecticide, is not good combination. Also, had an issue with contradictory information regarding the availability of horse riding as an additional activity.

'n Wonderlike wegbreek.

Dit was fantasties om vir 'n paar dae heeltemal in die natuur te wees. Net stilte en mooi uitsigte. Ons het dit veral geniet om te gaan stap met ons hond. Ook om op die stoep te sit en te kyk na die wilde diere wat verby kom. Marzanne het ons op 'n puik game drive geneem. Alles het bygedra daartoe dat ons enige tyd weer Melozhori sal besoek.

A wonderful getaway.

It was fantastic to be completely in nature for a few days. Just silence and beautiful views. We especially enjoyed going for a walk with our dog. Also to sit on the porch and watch the wild animals that pass by. Marzanne took us on a great game drive. Everything contributed to the fact that we will visit Melozhori again anytime.

Ons het die naweek-wegbreek vreeslik geniet. 'n Moet-besoek vir enigeen wat stiltes en die oop vlaktes van die natuur waardeer en kwaliteit-tyd saam vriende of familie wil spandeer, weg van die stad se gedruis.

Hier kan jy net jou skoene uitskop en ontspan. Die kothuis is ongelooflik skoon en netjies en voorsien in al die basiese behoeftes vir 'n lekker naweek se ontspan en kuier om die vuur of voor die kaggel. Ons is met ons aankoms baie vriendelik ontvang deur Marzanne en het dadelik tuis gevoel. Die reservaat is goed geleë en bied jou die privaatheid van 'n wildreservaat maar is naby genoeg aan Robertson of Bonnievale indien jy 'n winkel sou nodig kry of die omliggende wynplase wil besoek. Die wildsrit is 'n moet vir enigeen wat die reservaat besoek en 'n lekker interaktiewe manier om meer oor die reservaat en sy verskillende wildspesies te leer. Marzanne, wat ook ons gids was op die wildsrit, is goed ingelig en praat met insig en kennis. Ons oulike "besoekertjies" elke oggend op die grasperk voor die kothuis het ook die besoek net nog meer spesiaal gemaak. Ons sal beslis in die toekoms weer by Melozhori wil oorbly.

We really enjoyed the weekend break. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates silence and the open plains of nature and wants to spend quality time with friends or family, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Here you can just kick off your shoes and relax. The cottage is incredibly clean and tidy and provides all the basic needs for a nice weekend relaxing and visiting around the fire or in front of the fireplace. We were received very kindly by Marzanne upon our arrival and immediately felt at home. The reserve is well located and offers you the privacy of a game reserve but is close enough to Robertson or Bonnievale if you need a shop or want to visit the surrounding wine farms. The game drive is a must for anyone visiting the reserve and a fun interactive way to learn more about the reserve and its different game species. Marzanne, who was also our guide on the game drive, is well informed and speaks with insight and knowledge. Our cute "visitors" every morning on the lawn in front of the cottage also made the visit even more special. We would definitely like to stay at Melozhori again in the future.

'n Heerlike week van rus in 'n pragtige, stil omgewing.

Ons het die tyd by Melozhori baie geniet. Die huis is skoon, gerieflik en goed toegerus. Die feit dat ons die enigste gaste was is 'n pluspunt. Baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die 'game drives' was great.

A real find at only 2 hours from Cape Town. Lots of rare buck species.

Accommodation in tip top condition and furnished beautifully. We loved the visits of the horses and the goats! Lovely game drive with Jacques and lots of antelope species around, including black or white tailed wildebeest which we had never seen before. Great to be able to take our little dachsie with us! We were there the weekend the Cape Argus was cancelled because of the exceptional wind - which also took one the bedroom doors clean off! It all added to the adventure, almost sleeping outside!
