"We spent two wonderful days at Madi a Thavha, staying in the wooden cottage. The cottage is beautifully decorated with local Venda fabric and local photographs, and was superbly comfortable for four of us. Madi a Thavha provided us, at a very reasonable price, with a guide, Musa, who spent a day and a half with us showing us sights and introducing us to local crafters and artists. He was great company - knowledgeable, friendly, articulate and fun. We had a marvellous time. Definitely recommended as a place to stay and to explore the area."

"Great setting, well equipped cottage in a lovely area. Very peaceful."

"A wonderful visit and we could have stayed for much longer. It's a beautiful setting and the accommodation couldn't be better. The hosts were friendly and incredibly helpful. This was despite the fact that I'd forgotten I'd booked for self-catering and turned up at 5pm with no food - at short notice..."

The setting is spectacular, high in the mountains with wonderful views and clean air!

I would definitely return there if I was in the area, and would certainly recommend it."

"Thoroughly relaxing and a truly friendly atmosphere. Thanks"

"Fantastic in every aspect!"

"I was travelling to Makhado to take part in the Kremetart 175km Cycle Race with two of my friends. Madi a Thava was the perfect place to stay with the quiet farm atmosphere, comfortable accommodation and excellent cuisine. We will definitely be back next year. Thank you!"

"Just what I needed after a hectic day working. The staff were warm and friendly, the food was great and the room was very comfortable, just wish I had more time to take a dip in their pool."

"Our stay there was absolutely wonderful. We were warmly welcomed and assisted every step of the way. The chalet was beautiful and clean and the people very very friendly."
