Our 2 nights at Pinella and Castanea were very nice. The children could use their imagination and walk safely in the "fairy" paths between bushes and trees. We will definitely want to go back again.

Nice house in the woods.
Our family had a great time at Pinella. There is a piece of forest in which one can go for a walk. The fireplace in the living area came in very handy, even in January when it was raining outside. The beds sleep very well and the kitchen is well equipped. We were also not affected by load shedding at all while we stayed there. There are really many attractions, cute restaurants and shops in Haenertsburg that are quite close.

Lovely stay in a beautiful setting.
As a family we have stayed in Pinella and Castanea Farm Cottages 3 times. The houses are well equipped and very comfortable. The property is beautiful and Castanea is located in front of a small pond, which can be enjoyed in the summer months. The unit is spacious with enough warm blankets for the cold winter evenings. The unit was also quite cold during the day, due to the big trees that will provide nice coolness in the summer. However, there was enough firewood provided by the owners.

Nice and luxurious and beautiful. The beautiful Swartbos 3.5 km walking trail is barely a few minutes from there. We had a nice stay there and it's far from any other houses so you can enjoy privacy and silence. There is even an inverter so that the lights at least work during loadshedding and the stove is gas. Only the wooden deck at the door does not have a railing to protect toddlers from a 1 m fall.

The cottage is tastefully furnished with everything you could possibly need. Cottage is clean and tidy and the most beautiful chrysanthemums were displayed on the dining room table. The natural beauty and tranquility has just been such an incredible experience for us. We enjoy going here as a family to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Can really recommend it to anyone who wants to unplug from the rat race and recharge a bit! Thank you Iris for your hospitality!

We enjoyed our weekend at Pinella so much that we decided in the spur of the moment to stay an extra night. What more can I say!
Pinella is exceptionally comfortable and tastefully equipped. The cosy fireplace and selection of board games were a highlight in the evenings and the electric blanket was a luxury. We will definitely recommend Pinella and its beautiful area for nature lovers. Note: be aware of the fact that the high, open deck can be a hazard for busy toddlers.

Beautiful little house and location.
We were 6 adults and everything was perfect except that something was wrong with the electricity. Some switches kicked off the electricity. The electric blankets on the single beds don't work at all and should be replaced for the winter months. This is quite important because the house is very cold because it doesn't get a lot of direct sunlight.

Castanea is a gem of a place. The house is modern, tidy, has plenty of space and is adequately equipped. And it's surrounded by the most beautiful scenery. All that needs attention is the water. It's not suitable for drinking. The water was brown for 2 out of the 3 days. It didn't start running clear until the third day. My little girl and husband both developed an upset stomach. But we are still impressed with the house and will definitely return if the water situation is sorted out.

Wonderful accommodation in a fairytale fairyland with privacy for a nice rest when you escape from the hustle and bustle of the city!
Upon our arrival at Pinella, Portia welcomed us kindly and we were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness, beauty and tasteful accommodation unit. We lacked nothing and sufficient wood was provided for our needs to make a nice fire when needed. Our four-legged elderly child (Jack Russel) got his second breath with all the attention of the local four-legged friends who came to visit. Although there are fire extinguishers, I suggest providing extra candles for those unexpected power outages. Thank you for a lovely weekend and hope to get another opportunity to visit.

Very nice, very big, very good value for money.
We stayed in the Castanea cottage and were very impressed. Pilot was very friendly and made it clear that we should feel as welcome as if it were our own home. There is ample space, large beds and a nice large kitchen. The fireplace was ready with a pile of wood, so we could make a nice fire. The only thing we would still appreciate is body soap and shampoo in the bathroom. The dam just outside the house completed the peaceful, scenic atmosphere. We were only two people but could rent the cottage per person, so it worked out very cheap. It is so well-equipped that we got the idea that it would be very nice for a larger group of friends. I would definitely recommend it for both large and small groups.

Great. Not suitable for children because the beds are on the second floor.
Unfortunately some of the light bulbs where blown, the shower were clogged and there wasn't enough wood. They replaced the lights and unclogged the drain after we phoned them. The river is actually just a small stream. The bedrooms are on the second floor (we didn't know this). Our eldest is almost 2 and he was a handful with the dek without the railing. Our other child is crawling and that was also a problem. The house is nice and warm when the fire place is lit, but we needed more wood. Bedding is nice and warm.

Got a bit lost on my way there, but Iris helped us even though it was late at night. The place was very clean and the view over the dam was beautiful. Will definitely go there again.

A true gem in Magoebaskloof.
I, my dad and boys had a wonderful weekend at Pinella and Castanea Farm Cottage. The location and cleanliness of the cottages were exceptional. The cottage is spacious with 2 bedrooms and then space in the loft. A lovely fireplace (actually 2) is available and there is plenty of wood available if extra wood is needed at a cost of R15 a bag. Everything you need is there and the attention to detail was incredible. The children enjoyed fishing and there were dogs on the farm with which the children also played. The location is also very close to other attractions such as Haertnesburg, Debengeni waterfalls and various delicious eateries on the Magoebaskloof Pass. Definitely a place where anyone can go and relax.

This is one incredibly beautiful place, we were so lucky and had a very nice stay, it's breathtakingly beautiful.
We were a group of 6 friends, all couples and we really enjoyed it, the place Castanea is incredibly beautiful, out of a storybook, it's so peaceful and you feel at home, the dam is a big plus for us been because everyone likes to water the line, there was enough sleeping space and everything was comfortable and very neat and clean, even the dogs were very cute to us, to know that there is life around a person, no one bothered, and that was just take it easy we will definitely book the place again when we come to Magoebaskloof.

Cold, but pretty.
We stayed in Castanea, the decor is very pretty and done tastefully. It was super cold and dark inside the house, had to keep the lights on the entire time. The fireplace struggled to keep up. The dogs were too cute and the one Dalmatian was basically with us the entire time, but didn't bother us whatsoever.

Four lovely rainy days in the forest.
Pinella and Castanea Farm Cottages are located in probably one of the most beautiful places in South Africa. Tucked away between trees and fog, the cottage itself has a fantastic porch from which you can watch the birds and animals. When it rains for three out of the four days (as it did for us), you can light the fireplace inside and snuggle up with a book or a large selection of board games. Although a notice promised that wood would be delivered every day, this did not happen and the daily cleaning service did not include the replacement of things like toilet paper or garbage bags. However, the cottage itself is clean and tidy and well equipped with all the cutlery and other accessories you will need. Extra little things like a glass of sherry, books, games, DVDs and a map with things to do in the area make you feel right at home. If you are someone who always needs to be in touch with the outside world - stop by. Pinella is one of the few places where you can really shut yourself off from the rest of the world and enjoy the peace and quiet without the interruption of your cell phone.
