Neat private place with a beautiful view of the mountains.
All our expectations were exceeded. It is wonderful to have all the facilities at our disposal. Beautiful view of the Soutpansberge with a well-marked walking route up the mountain. Goats and partridges come to graze around our very private cottage.

Lovely in every way.
Zanaka is an excellent accommodation option. It is very well located, in a quiet and wooded location on top of the Soutpansberg. The equipment testifies to an experienced host and hostess, and there is more than enough information about how everything works and what services are available. You could just sit in the cool and watch nature pass by, or go for a walk along all the walking paths. The WiFi is very welcome and works independently of Eskomkrag.

Hi Zelda
Thank you for taking the time to write this review and please excuse my replying in English. I am happy you enjoyed your stay. You were here on the day we had 80mm within a few hours! One of the biggest downours we have had in 20 years! The clay on the farm becomes very messy when wet but dries quite quickly!
Thank you for pointing our the WiFi situation. The Information File in the Cabin explains exactly where you can go to get WiFi but it was not mentioned in the confirmation letter. I have now amended the confirmation letter and thank you for the heads up!
I do hope you can visit again for alonger non-business stay. All the best.
Warmest wishes

Zwanika is a great place for a weekend getaway, nice walk, awesome plants and birds.
Had a great weekend in the Zoutpansberg. The accommodation is meticulously and stylishly maintained, neat and clean. No detail was spared. It is a wonderful place for a break. The walk over the mountain is incredible and brings you into contact with the vegetation and animal life of the region. At the top of the mountain, the view is breathtaking. Bird life is spectacular! Also a good base to explore the region further. Would recommend the place. We will come again for sure.

We are delighted that you enjoyed Madala's Cottage and yes, sad that it was only one night! We hope you will return someday, maybe when it is greener and the birds are even busier.

Great stay, quiet and excellent service.
Accommodation great, clean and tidy. All necessities were provided, from champagne and fresh flowers to the smallest detail i.e. wood, fire lighters, fireplace wood and soaps for Africa. Very nice hiking trails, from easy to slightly difficult (mountain). Scenery wonderful, very funny birds (beautiful), goats, very friendly and shy. Pool clean and fresh. Braai place well equipped and there is a separate boma at the braai place for a bonfire etc. Water clean and drinkable (delicious). Monkeys around, but not bothersome. Outside bath a winner.
