A peaceful experience of nature, where you can find yourself again.
We had a great time. We spent the Saturday by the pool, and later in the afternoon lit a fire at our cottage. Later that evening we stood outside and looked up at the wonderful view of the stars. The fact that there are no lights outside at all was a plus for us. It just made looking at the stars so much easier and wonderful. Our one night sleepover was exactly what we needed, as new mum and dad, and of course baby enjoyed it just as much in the peaceful silence in the valley.

Very calm, peace and quiet. We managed well with the gas and the solar system. Cell phone signal is weak but sufficient. It was wonderful to see and hear the cattle every day. One day we drove to Dullstroom, about 60 km of which more than half was dirt road. Unit was clean and very nice.

Incredibly peaceful, and everything you need in the house.
Very calm and quiet. Unfortunately, a bat bothered me continuously from 02h00, every 15 min. If I turn off the light he comes back. Rather drove and left my food behind (couldn't keep it in the car). I was expecting a call but at around 14h00 I preferred to find another place to stay. They let it be known that the previous weekend's people had not complained. After about two weeks put my money in the bank for the second night, and R20 extra.

Mr Smith booked from 8 - 10 March 2024. On 9 March 2024, he left the key of the chalet in the box in front of the office and drove away. He informed the office only through a WhatsApp text message that the cleaners should collect the meat in the fridge. When I asked him afterwards if they weren't returning, he indicated that they were not and mentioned an issue with bats. I responded by suggesting that the bats may have found a hole somewhere because there was no such issue the previous weekend. If there had been, I am sure the previous guests would have mentioned it. As he stated he was not returning, I didn't offer him an alternative chalet for that Saturday night. However, on 11 March 2024, I did offer him another weekend here. On 13 March 2024, he declined my offer and mentioned that had I offered an alternative for the Saturday night, he might have accepted it. If he had informed me about the bat problem in person, or via WhatsApp, or even called early that Saturday morning, I could have moved them to another chalet.

Nice break with the most beautiful views. Just wish the house was a little more luxurious.
The farm is very beautiful. We stayed in Blinkblaar Chalet. We struggled terribly with the shower's water. It's either ice cold or blazing hot. The roof leaked when it rained. There were also bats in the roof that messed up one of the beds. The house has a lot of potential but needs some updating. Other than that we had a nice stay.

However, it is not for "squeemish" people. It's remote and with limited electricity, but clean, tidy and safe and eerily quiet. I really love the place, but there is no fuel or shops nearby. It also seems that there are places between the ridges that do not receive cell phone signal.

So beautiful. Restful. Wish time could stand still!
The friendly Driekie received us so nicely! After I paid my place she immediately contacted me via WhatApp. She was also in contact with me all the time. Until I picked up the keys from her. We wanted to rest and just be lazy. Didn't even want to get up on Sunday in the rainy weather and get ready for breakfast. Then they spoiled us at our Chalet with delicious breakfast platters for 2 people at exactly 9 o'clock. We will definitely come back to hide and rest there! We sat for hours under our cloth pad and just took in the beauty. In between the rain we could have a nice barbecue. The accommodation is very private. Well equipped. And more than enough sleeping space for just 8 people! Aalwyn Chalet is perfectly located by the river and with all the rain we could hear the water over the stones all the time. Thank you very much for our nice weekend. See you again soon.

What a lovely weekend. Enjoy cycling, fishing and walking. We brought the valentines and attended the braai dance. It was 10 out of 10. An awful lot of effort is put into maintaining everything nicely. It's so nice to be there, you don't even want to go home. Wish we could have stayed a little longer. This is definitely one of my favorite places to visit. This was our second time at Ribbokkloof Holiday Farm and will definitely visit again.

This is really the ideal place to come and relax. It's wonderfully quiet and the house is very neat and well equipped. The footpath is pleasant, but not reason enough to come here. Rather, you come for the beauty and serenity. Unfortunately, the footpath is also completely full of knapsack guys who will stick to your clothes. Remember your own towels and a blanket to sit outside under, because the evenings get cold!

Ribbokkloof is located in a beautiful nature area, and offers value for money.
In general, it is a very nice place with beautiful scenery. A few problems we encountered were the photos still show people sitting in front of a fireplace, but no fireplace may be used anymore. There is now gas heater that you can rent for R200 which is not the same. A deposit of R400 must be given for the key, but you may not do it in cash and if you check out and return the key you will not get your money back immediately, it will only be paid back to you later. The solar battery was empty the first night we got there and it was clear that no one had checked it before we checked in. We then had to make arrangements for them to come and put in other batteries. None of the management or staff wore masks for Covid-19 and we feel they could perhaps improve this. Safety may be a problem if there is a farm attack, because the cottages have almost no signal and there is no panic button or security gate either. The thatched cottage has only one entrance (door) which might be a problem during a fire if one had to flee from the house.

Dankie vir julle besoek aan Ribbokkloof. Ons Blinkblaar chalet het nog 'n kaggel binne.Tans is ons byna klaar met die herbou van ons Tolbos chalet wat weens die gebruik van die kaggel, afgebrand het, dus die rede waarom die ander kaggels verwyder is & gasverwarmers nou beskikbaar is. Ons is ook in die proses om ons webblad te hernu.
Kontantbetalings is toelaatbaar, maar elektroniese betalings word verkies.
Sleuteldeposito's is vir die veilige terugbesorg van die sleutels asook vir breek- & diefstalskade [wat ons ongelukkig al ervaar het & waarvoor die R400 eintlik te min is]. Nadat gaste uitgeboek het [oor algemeen op Sondae], besoek ons personeel die chalets op Maandae om linne te verwyder en gaan die Chalet inhoud na om die chalets weer vir die volgende gaste voor te berei. Die personeel gee dan terugvoer en daarna word sleuteldepositos uitbetaal. [In die geval was daar 'n netwerk probleem met die elektroniese betaling op die Vrydag, 13/08/2021 toe gaste arriveer/inboek & is gas vriendelik versoek om die betaling later oor te plaas, wat toe 16/08/2021 eers in die bankrekening gewys het. Die R400 is op 20/08/2021 terugbetaal.
Solar batterye word nagegaan. Daardie week was redelik bewolk & ligte, yskaste ens word alles nagegaan voor gaste arriveer. Batterye was dadelik vervang toe ons ingelig is van die probleem.
Die Covid register is deur die gas voltooi met aankoms & haar temperatuur was geneem en aangeteken. Die ontvangsdame dra haar masker in die kantoor asook ander personeel in kantoor ure.
Tov veiligheid by die chalets is gaste welkom om hulle gelisensieerde vuurwapens saam te bring. Vodacom & MTN het redelike sein by die Chalet area & in die kloof. Ons is ook gekoppel met buurtwag radios en almal in die omgewing is baie paraat.
Ons poog om ons prag stukkie aarde met ons basiese, tog nostalgiese, netjiese akkommodasie tot soveel as moontlik gaste se beskikking te stel deur ons lae tariewe. Sou ons egter opgradeer sal ons tariewe ook aangepas moet word.

I booked Blinkblaar chalet which is for 12 people with 2 bathrooms.
On arrival we were pushed into Aalwyn and after I called, moved to Stinkhout. Also for 12 people, very small. Very steep stairs with only 1 bathroom. It was not at all what I had hoped for or expected. We had 5 small children, was very impractical. The caretaker was very nice and helpful. I will not stay there again.

Die bespreking was gemaak op 06.09.2021 deur Travelground [Lekkeslaap] vir 4 volwassenes & 4 kinders van ouderdomme 2, 2, 3 & 5 jaar oud. Daar was slegs vir die 4 volwassenes betaal & nie vir ‘n chalet / eenheid of kinders nie. Die gas was ook ingelig dat die Blinkblaar chalet se reeling op die boonste vloer, nie kinder veilig / vriendelik is nie. Die kwotasie het egter verval op 08.09.2021 & het die gas uitstel gevra tot 15.09.2021, waarop sy dit toe betaal het, maar die Blinkblaar chalet was toe reeds uitgeboek aan ander gaste vir die bepaalde naweek. Ons het toe die Aalwyn chalet wat 8 gaste kan huisves, aan die gas toegeken.
Met aankoms, het die gas genoem dat daar egter 5 kinders is, wat baba van 5 maande insluit. Sy is ingelig dat die Aalwyn chalet 8 gaste kan huisves & daar nie trappe in die chalet is nie. Met aankoms by die chalet het gas die kantoor geskakel & genoem dat die eenheid vir hulle bietjie knap is, met die kinders inaggenome. Ons het toe reelings getref dat hulle wel kan skuif na die Stinkhout chalet [wat 12 gaste kan huisves], maar trappe het & wat gelukkig beskikbaar was op daardie stadium. Hulle het toe besluit om te skuif.

We thoroughly enjoyed it. The tranquility, The calmness of the river stream that swept past us, the great variety of birds singing and waving through the air. Pitch black nights due to no electricity. Here we found ourselves again and got to know our souls. Had great conversations with each other and with God. Would recommend Ribbokkloof to any camper. Just make sure the road is not wet when you travel there, as only a four-wheel drive vehicle will find the wet road passable. Otherwise, it is quite passable to tow a caravan there.

If you want to get away from the noise and hustle and bustle of life, you go to Ribbokkloof. The silence in the gorge is deafening! If you are used to every luxury, Ribbokkloof will not work for you. You use gas or battery or solar power. There is no power point, but we have taken care of that. The place was spotless and tidy. We slept very comfortably. It might not be suitable for families with teenagers who can't live without technology, but for us it was heaven on earth. We even saw a pair of Ribbok goats when they came to drink at the stream. Fresh spring water supplies the cottages with the most delicious water. We will definitely go back again.

Ribbokkloof is a fantastic weekend visit - this was our second visit to the farm. We had a great time, enjoyed the walking routes (with 5 and 9 year olds walking together). Our only criticism is the pool which was terribly dirty, sand and soil on the bottom and water brown (turbid). The farm had heavy rain two days before we checked in, and the river washed into the pool - that's understandable. We would like to see the pool made more accessible to guests as soon as possible, because with young children the pool is a constant attraction.

Our stay was very nice, accommodation is standard, neat and clean. There are no power plugs to use any appliances, be aware of that and we didn't know we had to bring our own bath towels. It was quite a story. The location is good and the break from the city is heavenly for the soul. Kids enjoyed the fishing, but the areas around the river and ponds short of clearing, we had lots of bushes and mudflats to wrestle through.

We are in love with Ribbokkloof Holiday Farm! And just want to tell all our friends and family about the beautiful place. Unfortunately we went camping with two small children in a very cold time so we struggled a bit without the power and warmth and had a very cold night. But our last night there was in a cottage and we would definitely recommend it for people with small children. If the weather is warm or the kids are older, the campsite is perfect! The surroundings are beautiful with the most beautiful views!

Really beautiful, the perfect place to relax!
My husband, daughter (6) and I really enjoyed our time at Ribbokkloof. We stayed in Alwyn chalet. Away from city life, TV, etc. Had warm water and a great gas heater because our chalet did not have a fireplace. Remember to bring a charger for your phone or a fully charged powerbank. Great 4x4 trail.

Far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Starry skies that you can write home about. Walking trails that will have you sweating and where you can enjoy nature. The stone house was neat, clean and everything you need is there. Relaxation by just sitting back. We enjoyed the silence and just being able to relax. Can highly recommend them.

Natural silence is my food!
We really enjoyed the break, because being able to be in nature just a 2.5 hour drive is heavenly! It was nice and cold in the evenings, but the house (Alwyn) was wonderfully warm with enough bedding. We were just a little disappointed that we were 6 people and only 2 large towels were provided. There had also been no chairs/table or light for outdoor barbecue and we were not informed to bring them either. We also didn't know that there were no power points, so be sure to take a car charger with you! The river had dried up, but that is understandable with our country's drought, just such a pity. Other than that it was nice.

Simple convenience!
Beautiful stone houses in a beautiful setting. Website said we should bring towels, dishcloths, toilet paper and dish soap...but that was all. We should have taken matches (for the gas stove) and a wine bottle opener instead. Alwyn could do with better lounge facilities. Furthermore, it was very peaceful and we enjoyed the walking route.

Very nice surroundings, accommodation very basic.
It's a beautiful environment and peaceful. Everything is very neat. However, nowhere does it say that you must bring your own towels and toilet paper. It is also not clear that none of the houses have power. We slept in Lemoendoring. It sleeps 4, but only 2 chairs at the kitchen table. The kitchen is very basic equipped. The double bed was very uncomfortable.

Wonderful stay.
Ribbokkloof is a real gem and it's located very close to Johannesburg. It's picture perfect, the fireplace in the thatched house is wonderfully romantic, it's just a shame that people riding motorbikes are allowed.

The accommodation was comfortable, safe, cozy and everything you need.
This nice stone house in the middle of nature, where you can bring body and soul together again, is the perfect getaway. Away from our daily hectic existence. You can't help but just relax. The beautiful nature reminds you what life is really about. The cottage and the amenities are perfect; you don't expect 5 star when you are so close to mother nature. And mother nature is a very good "nanny". The children play outside for hours without you knowing about them. Even their little souls "connect" with the tranquility of nature. We went home, rested, relaxed and satisfied.

It was lovely so in nature and close to nature especially with the beautiful cattle that came to greet you every morning.
We really enjoyed the stay with only the hot water being somewhat of a problem, but with the help of Willem it was soon sorted out. It is a beautiful environment where one feels so close to one's Creator and truly it is close to one's heart.

A wonderful, peaceful experience...
I would be able to recommend Ribbokkloof to anyone who wants to get away from the hectic life. I can't explain how much I enjoyed my stay there! The place is clean, tidy, beautiful inside and out, quiet and peaceful. Everything was just as I wanted it to be. The lady who received us was very friendly. I had the best time of my life, my husband and I will definitely be staying there more often for a weekend just to be able to spend some time with each other and appreciate the tranquility. Thank you very much for the beautiful place to stay. You really are tops!

A wonderful nature experience that I would recommend to any nature lover!
From the moment we drove into Ribbokkloof's main gates, it felt like we were on holiday. We were kindly welcomed by Adrie Schutte and the formalities were quickly completed. From the office, either down the dirt road or over the hill, we are greeted by a secluded natural world where the wind blows playfully through the gorge and the red Bonsmara cattle graze peacefully between the rondavels. Don't expect to be able to use your electronic toys here, because this is where Mother Nature brings you back to earth to find your "roots" again. The earthen kettle sings merrily on the gas stove while the solar panels behind our cabin capture the last of the sun's rays for our lights for the evening. I haven't been so lucky in a long time to be in a place with NO mains electricity or annoying cell phones and emails that bother me... A barbecue fire and the sweet taste of a Rosé under the stars have the perfect atmosphere on Friday night created to ask your sweetheart the yes word on one knee! Early morning walks on the footpaths brought sore legs and muscles by the afternoon, but it was all absolutely worth it! I have probably never felt so safe and so isolated from society in my life. It was certainly not the last time we camped at Ribbokkloof and we can't wait for the next time we drive over that hill on that dirt road.
