"We truly enjoyed our stay for the 2 nights that we spent at Thaba Manzi Ranch. The Loerie unit was very spacious for 2 people, clean and well maintained and very well equipped. We enjoyed sitting outside on the patio with the lovely view of the hills around us and beautiful skies. The staff especially Esther were very friendly and helpful. She helped us carry most of our luggage which was a lot and some quite heavy. The property was well maintained and being in the sparkling blue swimming pool made us feel like we were somewhere high up in the mountains. We really enjoyed having all the animals around us from the cattle, the sheep, the horses, the squirrels, the wild boar and the 2 kittens were just the cutest. From the property we were able to go on a 10km hike in beautiful surroundings and different terrains and loved just hanging out at the small dam watching all the amazing bird life and even saw some buck. Also only a short drive away and a few kilometers of walking (due to our low clearance vehicle) one can be up in the surrounding hills with spectacular views. We were hardly disappointed that there was no longer the opportunity to go horse-riding on their horses as we really loved exploring the property and greater Farm Boschfontein by foot. "

"What a fantastic two days. Quiet, relaxing time with stunning views. What more could you want when leaving the city?! Would definitely go again and next time for longer than two days!"


"Great "Switch Off" destination"

(South Africa) Ntuthuko

"Time spent at Thaba Manzi was Priceless.
You'll be greeted by the horses as you drive in, then hear a cow call at a distance.
Very warm welcome from Mama Ester helps you settle in.
Beautiful views of the Mountains with a lovely Sunset to end the day.
Cozy safe pool that accommodates..."

Very warm welcome from Mama Ester helps you settle in.
Beautiful views of the Mountains with a lovely Sunset to end the day.
Cozy safe pool that accommodates MOST heights.

"Recently spent a long weekend at Thaba Manzi Ranch. Upon arrival we received a very warm welcome. Accommodation in the Lavender Unit was very comfortable and well furnished with everything needed for a self-catering stay. The views of the mountain were beautiful. Plenty of trails for relaxing hikes. We also took advantage of the horse-riding and thoroughly enjoyed a pleasant hour long ride with a friendly trail guide. The abundance of farm animals was lovely. Nice small swimming pool for cooling dips.
Overall it was a perfect place for a weekend getaway. "

My boys absolutely loved the farm life (even if it was just for the weekend) and being able to interact with the animals. "

Ranch. We stayed at lorie room, loved the old beams and the door, it certainly gave character to the place. The owners were very welcoming and great to talk too. Chantal very patiently explained everything on the ranch to us. We took our own coal for braai, but were also provided wood for the first braai. And were also informed if needed more then it is available at the farm for a very good price. All in all the place was very peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle of city. And simply loved waking up to the sounds of birds, insects, cows, sheep, horses etc etc. Would definitely go again!!!"


"Great place"

(South Africa) thulani Ngwenya

"It was great. Love the flexibility around checking out. Very clean."


"Got potential"

(South Africa) Mary-Ann Henning

"I enjoyed the view, the animals and the pool. They have it all, but need to pay attention to trees scratching the sink roof 24/7, the water does not flow out of the sink without lots of effort. Small little things that will make the stay there much more relaxed."


"Nice"

(South Africa) Pat Roux

"Great place to unwind!"


"Excellent experience"

(South Africa) Johanna steyn

"Rest"

"Peace and quiet. Our doggies loved it."


"Sanity break"

(South Africa) Salomien Marsden

"This is a wonderful setting for a midweek sanity break. Absolutely nobody else was there, not even a visible reception office. We adored the view of the Magaliesberg and watching the routine animal herding. It's not a place for children, but definitely a tranquil retreat for two oldies."


"Great getaway from city life"
