"Thabametsi is an excellent getaway especially for 'city slicker' kids. My son and nieces were intrigued by the farm animals especially since it was the first time they saw them that up close. Even my 30something aged sisters were amazed. We had an excellent time there. I personally enjoyed the labyrinth as it gave me time to focus on me and my emotions. It was as if all the messages were directed to me and what I was going through emotionally. Taking a 'shotleft' to Thabametsi was the best thing I did for me and my loved one. The serenity was beyond this world. Thank you Judy, Thabiso and Elijah for making our stay pleasant. "

"We had a lovely peaceful stay, with lots of farm activities for the kids. Squirrels nest is a huge house with lots of space for the whole family! We enjoyed freshly baked scones and the staff are very friendly. Planning to return every year!"

"The place is very nice and the staff is so dedicated to give best service. me and my girls loved everything about it."

"The peace, the tranquility and ambience of Thambametsi Farm coupled with the hospitality of staff and management."

"We enjoyed the donkey & tractor rides. The kids loved the games as well. What a lovely weekend we had."

"Like always the staff is super friendly and helpful, the kids had a blast with the tractor and donkey cart rides. "

"What an amazing weekend - we are beyond thrilled to have finally found the perfect weekend family getaway within a short drive of Jo'burg!

From the incredible staff to the well-equipped cottages to the vast range of activities on offer, Thabametsi has it all. Our daughter was kept busy from dawn till dusk with pony rides, tractor rides, donkey cart rides, feeding the animals, swimming in the lovely shallow pool, playing in the games room and running around in nature. And my husband and I managed to shrug off our city stress and R-E-L-A-X to the max.

Thank you to Judy and staff - we will definitely be back soon for another Thabametsi fix."

"Thabametsi farm is a place of peacefulness and relaxation. Lovely facilities for the children and friendly staff. David makes sure the kids get the fill of the donkeys, chickens, goats, geese and even a turkey. Will recommend it to everyone with young children, plenty of open space to run and play, places to ride their bikes, a beautiful swimming pool with a relaxing view. The cottage we stayed in was Lavender cottage and was perfect, very well appointed with everything you need for your self-catering plus a lovely stoep with braai area. "

"My husband and I and our dogs had a great stay at Thabametsi farm.We will definitely return in the future."

"It was peaceful. relaxing and very enjoyable. Nothing pretentious, clean and neat. Our hostess, Judy, is a gem, a wonderful lafy. Will always remember Thabametsi Farm. Thank you"

"Thabametsi from the entrance you can tell that it is peaceful and full of nature. Pity the dam was dry and could not go fishing or canoeing. Never the less it was nyc and inspiaring word on the walk of fame."

The sound of the rain on the tin roof was so nice and it rained both nights.It is a pity that we only met the owner when we left.

We will be back! _"

"Fantastic stay. Entertainment for kids galore. And the staff is very friendly. The facility is very clean, and has all equipment needed to make a stay very comfortable.
I just wish that housekeeping was part of the package that was offered. I had to arrange for that and had to pay separately."

Thanks again, We had a superb stay.

"Thank you Thabametsi Farm, we enjoyed our stay and the relaxing atmosphere."

"This is the perfect place to go to if you need to get away from the city.

"The farm is beautiful, serene and well-taken care of.

The hosts (Judy & Keith) are very considerate and warm-hearted."

"A great restful environment, plenty of activities for children of all ages.

Just remember to take all requirements with you, as the nearest shops are quite a distance, making use of the dirt road."

"Very clean, peaceful and comfortable. The cleaning staff were very attentive and offered to make up the fire each evening. Relaxing weekend had by all of us! Thanks very much!"

"We had a wonderful stay at Thabametsi farm. Very relaxing, just what we needed. Will defnitely visit again."

"The Owl Cottage is comfortable accommodation with all the necessities, and I would like to visit it again in the future! It was the perfect place for me to recharge my batteries, and I think more people should know about this beautiful place!"

"Enjoyed my stay at Thabametsi. The place is detached from the noise of the cities and it was worth our while staying there."

"Thank you for a lovely long weekend at the Farm. It was an enjoyable, relaxing time and I will definitely visit you again."

"What a great weekend! An ideal place to get away from the rush and just relax and spend some quality time with a loved one. It is very private and luxurious. Friendly staff willing to help and friendly reception. Thank you again for a brilliant stay. We will definitely go again!"

"We enjoyed our stay at Thabametsi! Perfect farm experience for little kids.

Even I enjoyed it and I am not a farm person at all. We will definitely come back! "

"After the hectic pace of Johannesburg, this is the place to come and unwind. The one unadvertised fact is that you can't hear a distant motorway, freeway or any car sounds at all. It is replaced with solitude filled with the calls of nature. The bird life is terrific and the walks, under the big sky, in the wide open spaces are great."

"We only stayed over for a night. The cottage is very neat and tastefully decorated. Loved the peace and quiet and had a warm welcome from the owners. Will pop in again some time."

"Thank you so much, the place is beautiful and clean. The staff is very friendly. We had a lovely time."

"My wife and I stayed at Owl cottage, which was very comfortable. Beautiful views, bird life, cheerful farm animals and a warm reception, makes this little farm a great weekend getaway from the city. "

"It was the best holiday i ever had. My family agreed with me. I went with my parents, brother and daughter. Everyone had a great time. There were activities that catered for everyone.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and experienced great hospitality and excellent accommodation.

We will be sure to visit again."

"We had a fantastic, relaxing weekend at the farm. Keith and Judy were great hosts and made sure that we were comfortable and looked after. "

"The stay at Thabametsi was absolutely brilliant. It's quiet, peaceful and the ultimate way to just relax. Judy and Keith are very accommodating and always willing to help in any way possible. I'll be raving about the farm for years to come."

"We had a peaceful weekend thanks, Judy and Keith are a family orientated couple.

Lots off things for kids to play with

"Great hospitality from Keith and Judy. Very clean and neat accommodation. Highly recommended. Will definitely go back. Thank you"

"Thanks for the relaxing experience. The beauty of the place and the surroundings added to the friendly hosts make for a warm and enjoyable stay."

" I loved the quietness of the place"

"I enjoyed my stay there."

"Judy and keith are great hosts. They went out of their way to accommodate my wishes. The farm is peaceful and beautiful. The website does not do the farm justice. I got much more than what I was bargaining for. This is the place to go if you want to recharge!!! Thanks Judy and Keith!!!"

"Perfect for a family getaway if you want peace and quiet being close to nature. Keith and Judy are fantastic hosts, having thought of everything required for a comfortable stay. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back."

"We had the privilage of staying at Thabametsi for a week. We had an incredible time. The absolute quiet and serenity made us as a family come closer together. Granted the units are a bit on top of each other, so privacy is not high. Our children truly enjoyed the tractor and horse rides. I would suggest if you enjoy fishing to take your fishing gear. Please note, if you want to relax and escape your children, find a pleasure resort, as here you have the nature and yourself. If you want to bond with your children, I would rate this as family get away, nothing else. We went with our bakkie, so enjoyed watching the sunset from on top the koppie. Fabulous!"

" Units bit close to each other ( no privacy ) when there is other guests as well."

"The staff were very friendly and made us feel welcome. What a wonderful place and everyone went out of their way to assist us with our needs during the heavy rain during the day and evening.

"Thabametsi is nice and quiet. The sunset and sunrise cottages is very beautiful laid out with a relaxing double bed. Thank you my weekend was wonderful.. "

"It’s a beautiful place. The accommodation is clean and the environment was good. The staff was really friendly and I’m planning on going back soon."

"Talk about peace and quiet. Just what we needed. Our stay at Thabametsi was absolutely fabulous. Accommodation was very comfortable and the staff and owner made us feel very welcome. Just what we needed. We will definitely be going back!!!"

"I really enjoy the place, the tranquil environment was splendid for our stay."

"Couldn't have had a nicer place to spend my birthday. We arrived and were immediately greeted by friendliness and warm welcome. The gardens and views are magnificent, we were shown to our cottages. I stayed in the Lavender and my friends stayed in the Owl Cottage . The cleanliness and organisation of the cottages were superb. We lacked absolutely nothing. The beds were extremely comfortable, the smell of fresh linen welcomed you to sleep in peace. The bird life and animals on the farm made us feel in touch with nature. We went for a walk Sunday early morning, everything was so serene and tranquil. I will highly recommend this accommodation to everyone who is seeking nature, peace and total relaxation. Will definitely stay here again without a doubt.
Rooms for Africa ensured all the bookings ran smoothly, will recommend people to book accommodation through them.
Lovely awesome place to be away from home. "

"What a pleasant time we had here indeed! We were well received and the people were very warm and friendly. The accommodation and surroundings is a farm type so it's a great place to come to for some rest, relaxation and reflection. I'd certainly stay here in the future."

"We had an amazing stay. The place was everything we expected and more. Although the unit was cold, adequate provision was made like heaters, a fire place, and electric blankets. We were very impressed. They even had air-freshner in the toilets. Well done."

"From the moment we turned off the road and drove down the avenue of trees, we knew we were in for a treat. We had a very warm welcome from Felicia as she showed us to our rooms. In fact, all the staff were amazing especially Fanwell, who went above and beyond his call of duty. He was so kind to the children and willing to help us with any request. As for the accommodation, it was clean, well-appointed and very comfortable. The electric blankets were a "warm" addition to a comfortable night's sleep! The lounge, dining and kitchen area was fully equipped and lacked nothing. The warm fire gave us a really cosy ambiance. As an animal lover, I was delighted with the donkeys (Pete and Molly) as well as the placid horses and the cacophony of sounds from the turkey, ducks and chickens. Tori, the Rhodesian Ridgie, was absolutely awesome and the 3 sheep gave a great farm feel. We also had a good contemplative time in the labyrinth and the children enjoyed the great selection of playground equipment. I would definitely recommend Thabametsi to friends and family and because we had such a pleasant successful stay, we will definitely be back. Judy was very kind and understanding when my daughter accidentally "murdered" on her potplants with her car! What an awesome get-away from the rat-race!"

"Everything was on point for us. The space in the house is just perfect. Thank you"

"Perfect getaway from the city. Surrounds are a peaceful farm setting. Accommodation is clean, which is key. Very obliging and friendly owners and staff. All the conveniences for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay."

"Neat, clean accommodation with everything needed.
If you want a quiet, serene place to re-charge then this is the perfect place.

I never thought that I would be taken aback in such a fashion and I would gladly recommend this getaway to everyone looking for a week or weekend away.
The serenity and the fauna and flora is what one longs for and this place gives you all that together with the call of nature.
I give this place a 10 out of 10. A great thumbs up to all seeking time away from the hustle and bustle of life. A must see and experience of a lifetime. Just simply come to Thabametsi and be amazed.
"

"This is a lovely clean place and I will definitely come back for another visit."

"We only went for 1 night - just needing to get out of the big city. And it was exactly as we had hoped. Quiet, peaceful, straightforward. And it did the trick. We came back feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the week ahead.

We will definitely be back!"

"Well done! It was awesome to arrive at your destination and immediately feel very relaxed and welcome. All the extras provided to make it more comfortable was a huge bonus for us (i.e. Heaters in every room, fire wood, blitz and the supper table were set very neatly.)

It was great to have a "farm style" stay. Waking up to hearing the animals and birds each morning instead of police sirens etc was awesome. I will recommend all my friends to make a point of gong through to Thabametsi for a holiday / weekend break.

Thanks for the hospitality!

See you again soon!

I would really recommend Thabametsi to anybody looking for a nice quite time in a farm environment away from the city. “Home away from home”

We will definitely go back. Not Just because of the place but because of the people.

Thanks again we will see you again soon!

"Thaba Metsi Farm is most definitely one of the best places to stay if you are looking for a peaceful getaway, the farm is beautiful, and the accomodation immaculate!!
Keith and Judy are amazing people, so accomodating and helpful.
We will definitely be returning soon for another break!"

I like rustic accommodation and this was rustic! Hence not for anyone looking for great interior decorating and a fancy place.
