Perfect.

It was amazing, exactly like it was on the pictures. Clean, neat and perfect for our family weekend. The kids loved the pool and we enjoyed our braai. We had absolutely no network, so be prepared for that, but they have a radio for you to reach the host if you need anything.

The Hanging Garden Bushveld Eco-Retreat 's response

What a lovely surprise to receive your fantastic review! Thank you Mokgadi. I am glad you and your family enjoyed your stay. Please note that the quality of cellular network coverage varies or is intermittent in the general Marico area, depending on whether ESKOM power outages occur, which does affect the performance of our local cellular network towers.

Rustig en natuurskoon.

Ons gashere was behulpsaam en vriendelik wanneer ons raad nodig gehad het. Die eiendom is nie baie groot nie, maar die twee staproetes is pragtig uiteengesit. Die verblyf is bekoorlik en het 'n lieflike uitsig. Dit is 'n rustige plek, ideaal vir 'n langnaweek. Ontvangs is sleg, so jy sal nie op jou selfoon wees nie. Daar is 'n walkie-talkie in die kombuis as jy jou gashere in die hande moet kry, wat baie gerusstellend is. Die eiendom voel baie veilig en afgesonder. Ons beveel wel aan om in 'n 4x4 te kom, want dit is nie net die pad na die oord wat 'n grondpad is nie, maar ook meeste van die paaie in die area.

Quiet and scenic.

Our hosts were helpful and friendly when we needed advice. The property is not very large, but the two hiking trails are beautifully laid out. The accommodation is charming and has a lovely view. It is a peaceful place, ideal for a long weekend. Reception is bad, so you won't be on your cell phone. There is a walkie-talkie in the kitchen if you need to get hold of your hosts, which is very reassuring. The property feels very safe and secluded. We do recommend coming in a 4x4 as not only is the road to the resort a dirt road, but also most of the roads in the area.

Thank you, Marianne, for your positive feedback. It was a pleasure to share our bushveld haven with you. The retreat is situated within the expansive Marico Biosphere Reserve. Most outdoor features developed for our guests, like the River Trail & Eco Trail, are located near the Eco Chalet, which makes them easily accessible for guests. There are sizable parts of the bushveld farm retreat that are not yet explored or accessible by visitors. Please note that cellular network coverage in the Marico area can vary from poor to good, depending on the performance of local cellular network towers. Also, any high clearance vehicles such as bakkies, SUVs or 4x4 vehicles can travel on the Marico sand/gravel roads, whilst sedan type vehicles may manage at a slow pace.

Rustig en privaat in 'n pragtige omgewing.

Ons waardeer die informasie wat aan ons voorsien is om voorbereid te gaan. Ons het gegaan in die hartjie van die winter. Nie koud geslaap of gestort nie. Was goed ingerig om kos te kan maak. Is pragtig geleë en die staproete is pragtig en veilig en 'n kind se droom. Stilte is heerlik. Niks padverkeer is hoorbaar nie.

Ons het die rustige omgewing en die natuur baie geniet!

Die bome om die huis is gemerk en dit is baie interessant, die staproete na die rivier toe was net so mooi en maklik. Daar is baie voëls, maak seker jy vat jou boek saam om te identifiseer! Jammer ons kon nie die sterre sien nie. Dit was bewolk. Ons sal beslis in die somer teruggaan om ook die plonspoel te kan gebruik. Karen was baie vriendelik en het altyd seker gemaak alles is reg by ons.

We will definitely go back in the summer to be able to use the splash pool as well. Karen was very friendly and always made sure everything was ok with us.

Thank you for your kind comments Winston! So glad to hear that you enjoyed your retreat in the beautiful & peaceful bushveld environment at The Hanging Garden. We do suggest, if possible that our guests make use of a high clearance vehicle when travelling the sand roads in Groot Marico, however, a standard sedan-type vehicle can manage at a slow & careful pace.

Dis 'n ongelooflike, rustige plek waar jy net kan ontspan. Heerlike staproetes. Die huisie was blinkskoon met al die toerusting wat mens benodig. 'n Klaargepakte houtvuur wat jy net kan aansteek en ys in die yskas was 'n aangename verrassing. Karen se kommunikasie is uitstaande en geen vrae was te veel nie.

Excellent for getting away from the city, fantastic stay, highly recommended.

I would highly recommend The Hanging Garden for getting away from the City. It is well equipped, and Karen and Troy made sure that we have everything that we needed. They are exceptional hosts and very caring. The chalet is small, but there is an excellent braai area, patio and a small swimming pool for the warm days. We were four people, and we had a fantastic time. Highly recommendable.

Ons kon heerlik rus en ons battery herlaai. Die stilte en rustigheid daar is wat ons nodig gehad het.

Die akkommodasie is prakties, baie skoon en netjies. Ons sal dit regtig aanbeveel vir diegene wat wil ontsnap van die stad vir rus en vrede. 'n Mens pas gou aan by die sonkrag-/gasfasiliteite. Die gaste wat daarvan hou om vroeg op te staan, kan dalk 'n LED-lig saamneem vir die oggende wat dit langer neem om ligte aan te skakel. Gaste wat vir langer as 4 dae bly, moet dalk 'n mobiele vrieskassie saamneem, aangesien yskas nie 'n vrieshokkie het nie.

We were able to rest and recharge our batteries. The silence and tranquility there is what we needed.

The accommodation is practical, very clean and tidy. We would really recommend it to those who want to escape from the city for some peace and quiet. One soon adapts to the solar/gas facilities. The guests who like to get up early may want to bring along an LED light for those mornings that take longer to turn on lights. Guests staying longer than 4 days may need to bring a mobile freezer as fridge does not have a freezer compartment.

I am pleased to hear that you and your family had the opportunity to really relax and take in the peace and quiet of the Marico bushveld. Thank you, Adrinette for your great review.
I wish to mention that the durability of the Solar Power provided to the Eco-Chalet is dependent on weather conditions and user/guest management. There are three LED lanterns supplied in the Eco-Chalet for our guests to use as well as an extra pack of batteries if needed. The Welcome Letter provided to our guests, prior and during their stay, explains exactly how the Solar Power System operates and the letter also provides guests with guidelines on how to make use of the solar power efficiently. As part of the information provided, guests are advised not to make use of any additional appliances like portable fridges/freezes, heaters, electric blankets etc. as these appliances are not energy efficient and are not compatible with the Solar Power System. Should our guests decide to stay for long periods then Management does offer to store any perishable items guests may have in the main farmhouse freezer.

Baie rustige wegbreek in die natuur.

Dit was ons tweede keer by The hanging garden bushveld Eco-retreat en was weereens vriendelik verwelkom deur Karen, sy was baie behulpsaam gewees vandat ons arriveer het tot op ons laaste dag. Die rustigheid van die plek is voedsel vir die siel en mens rus regtig lekker uit, ons sal die plekkie beslis weer aanbeveel en sal ook in die toekoms weer daar gaan ontspan.

Goed ingerig, baie privaat, mooi omgewing.

Baie mooi goed ingerigte, omgewingsvriendelike huis, baie privaat en goed geleë in 'n baie mooi gedeelte van die Marico Bosveld. As jy wil hê liggaam en gees moet weer ontmoet is dit die plek. Die plonspoel is goed geleë op die stoep en lafenis teen die bosveld hitte. Mense moet egter kennis neem dat die toegangspaaie nie regtig vir 'n gewone sedan geskik is nie. Die fasiliteit word sterk aanbeveel.

Very nice well appointed, environmentally friendly house, very private and well located in a very nice part of the Marico Bosveld. If you want body and mind to meet again this is the place. The splash pool is well located on the stoep and cools off the bushveld heat. However, people should note that the access roads are not really suitable for a regular sedan. The facility is highly recommended.

The best news to hear is that you managed to restore the balance of your mind and body. It may be worth mentioning that we do suggest, if possible, that guests make use of a high clearance vehicle when travelling on the Marico sand roads, however, a standard-type sedan can manage at a slow pace. A perfect opportunity to admire the spectacular surrounding natural environment and even spot some game or bird life.

"The Hanging Garden Bushveld Eco-Retreat" is beslis die plek om te wees in Groot Marico distrik.

Die perfekte wegbreek uit die gewoel van die stad. Ons het as gesin 'n naweek by die plek deurgebring, baie netjiese en rustige plek. Die eienaars het ons laat welkom voel en alles wat ons nodig gehad het was daar of was voorsien, ek sou net aanbeveel dat daar dalk losstaande waaiers in die kamers moet wees, want Groot Marico word redelik warm. Oor die algemeen kan ons glad nie kla nie, die rustigheid van die natuur om jou is beslis terapeuties en 'n mens kan rus. Ek sal die plek beslis ten sterkste aanbeveel.

The perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. We spent a weekend at the place as a family, very neat and quiet place. The owners made us feel welcome and everything we needed was there or was provided, I would only recommend having detached fans in the rooms, because Groot Marico gets pretty hot. In general, we cannot complain at all, the tranquillity of nature around you is definitely therapeutic and one can rest. I would definitely recommend the place.

Ekologiese toevlug - klink not so nice soos Eco Retreat.

Rustigheid, mooi sonsondergange, afsondering, braaivleis op die vuur, glasie wyn of twee, lieflike verblyf met alles wat jy sal benodig vir die naweek as dit is wat jy soek. Dit is die plek! Jy wil nie weer in die voertuig klim om die omgewing te verken nie, hang eerder heeldag in die "splash pool" en gooi nog 'n glasie wyn. Dit is 'n heerlike plek, saam met lekker geselskap of sommer net 'n lekker boek. Karen en Troy, julle is so bevoorreg om daagliks hier wakker te word. Ek moet noem die visie wat julle gehad het om so 'n lieflike plekkie in die bosveld te bou was ongelooflik! Dankbaar!

Ecological retreat - doesn't sound as nice as Eco Retreat.

Tranquility, beautiful sunsets, seclusion, barbecue on the fire, a glass of wine or two, lovely accommodation with everything you will need for the weekend if that is what you are looking for. This is the place! You don't want to get back in the vehicle to explore the area, instead hang out all day in the "splash pool" and pour another glass of wine. It is a lovely place, with good company or just a good book. Karen and Troy, you are so blessed to wake up here everyday. I have to say that the vision you had to build such a lovely place in the forest was incredible! Grateful!

Pragtig, stylvol, absoluut privaat vir rus en vrede.

Die huisie in ongelooflik mooi, baie mooi beddegoed, meubels en toebehore. So welkom gevoel met die blommetjies in die huis, heerlike roompies, sepies en beker melk in die yskas. Natuurskoon pragtig. is die hele naweek nooit gesteur nie. yslike houer ys in die yskas, net reg vir die glas wyn na die klipperige pad, maar darem nie te ver nie. Paar pakke hout neergesit. Mooiste "splash pool" waarin ek die hele naweek deurgebring het. Baie dankie ook vir goeie diens en vir Karen, wow, jy is bevoorreg om so 'n pragtige plek te hê.

Beautiful, stylish, absolutely private for peace and quiet.

The house is incredibly beautiful, very nice bedding, furniture and accessories. Felt so welcome with the flowers in the house, delicious creams, soaps and mugs of milk in the fridge. Beautiful scenery. was never disturbed the whole weekend. huge container of ice in the fridge, just right for the glass of wine after the rocky road, but at least not too far. Several packs of wood put down. Most beautiful "splash pool" I spent the whole weekend in. Many thanks also for good service and to Karen, wow, you are lucky to have such a beautiful place.

Amazing, will recommend it to anyone who wants to break away from the city.

Amazing place to stay in the "Groot Marico Bosveld", most beautiful view and sunset. Elegantly furnished. You will definitely miss out if you don't visit this amazing cottage.

Absoluut fantasties.

Baie netjiese blyplek. Die stilte, omgewing en pragtige sonsondergange oor die Marico bosveld is absoluut fantasties. Pragtige staproetes, alle inheemse bome is geïdentifiseer met naam plaatjies op. Dit was 'n baie lekker drie dae wat ons hier deurgebring het. Ons gaan sekerlik weer.

Absolutely fantastic.

Very neat place to stay. The silence, surroundings and beautiful sunsets over the Marico woodland are absolutely fantastic. Beautiful walking trails, all native trees are identified with name tags on them. It was a very nice three days we spent here. We will definitely go again.

Baie aangenaam en stil en rustig.

Die chalet is regtig baie mooi en goed toegerus. Die omgewing is baie rustig en stil, soos ek dit verkies, alhoewel die toegangspaaie in baie swak toestand is. As gevolg van die bewolkte weer was beskikbaarheid van elektrisiteit 'n probleem omdat die chalet van sonkrag en battery gebruik maak. Ek is van mening dat veiligheid verbeter kan word.

Very pleasant and quiet and peaceful.

The chalet is really very nice and well equipped. The environment is very peaceful and quiet, as I prefer it, although the access roads are in very poor condition. Due to the cloudy weather, availability of electricity was a problem because the chalet uses solar power and batteries. I believe that safety can be improved.

The Hanging Garden Bushveld Eco-Retreat takes pride in offering a comfortable, well equipped and secure facility to all guests.
As soon as you depart from the stressful city and turn off the busy N4 highway onto the sand roads of the Marico Biosphere Reserve an adventure begins.
Nature lovers appreciate the authentic, unspoilt and idyllic bushveld setting. Our establishment’s concept is based on eco-friendly, off-grid living and working with the natural environment.

Every guest is well informed of all the functions and operations on the bushveld farm before and on arrival. On the rainy weekend of Kobus’ visit the entire Groot
Marico was without conventional power or electricity for 3 days. Our Solar System maintained power supply efficiently until the last evening of your stay.
The Hanging Garden has never had any security issues and we feel blessed to be part of a community who are very vigilant and safety conscious.

The Eco-Retreat offers people an opportunity to get in touch with nature and with themselves.
