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.

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.

The Hanging Garden Bushveld Eco-Retreat 's response
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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
