We have a wonderful range of accommodations to choose from!
Whether you are looking for a cozy cottage, a charming chalet, a spacious family home or you enjoy caravanning and camping, we offer diverse options to suit different preferences and group sizes to enhance your overall experience.
A large sparkling pool at The Venue is a delightful feature for our guests to enjoy.
Breakfast is at an additional charge, made for you with free range eggs from the farm and served at your accommodation. You will however have to order in advance or on arrival. A chicken alternative to pork or vegetarian breakfast option is available.
We are a family that loves the outdoors and that is why we chose to move to a farm in Magaliesburg. We grow organic fruit and vegetables for our personal use which is used (if available) to prepare the food we serve.
Our accommodation boasts a magnificent view of the Magaliesberg Mountains & two small dams which offer fishing on a catch and release basis (Tilapia, Bass, Carp and Yellow). You will need to bring your own tackle and bait. It is a tranquil environment, perfect for anyone looking to get away from it all! As the sun sets you often hear the Jackal calling and the fireflies dancing in the summer evenings.
Charcoal, wood, firelighters, matches, refreshments, snacks, ice cream and ice are on sale at The Venue.
We have big and small dogs that roam freely on the whole property and will come and say "hello". All we ask is that you treat our dogs and other animals with respect and please do not feed them.
