Voortreflik.

Dit was voorwaar 'n wonderlike wegbreek. Skoon en netjies en die span was gereed om met enige iets te help. Die natuurskoon is onbeskryflik en ek sal Buffalo Thorn vir 'n wegbreek of vir voëlkyk-entoesiaste baie hoog aanbeveel. Kom naby die natuur, nie ver uit die stad nie.

Excellent.

It was truly a wonderful getaway. Clean and tidy and the team was ready to help with anything. The scenery is indescribable and I would highly recommend Buffalo Thorn for a getaway or for birdwatching enthusiasts. Get close to nature, not far from the city.

Baie oulike plekkie om net weer siel te kan herlaai.

Gasvryheid is fantasties, baie mooi omgewing en die stilte is wonderlik. Fantastiese staproetes. Alles netjies in Mofifi chalet. Sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel.

Rustig, mooi en skoon.

Baie lekker rus en stilte wat mens nie kan koop nie, wandelroedtes en mooi natuur was 'n besondere ervaring. Verblyf was netjies en goed uitgelê, mens het niks meer nodig nie. Grondpad (10.5 km) na verblyf is nie bedoel vir 'n lae voertuig nie maar is geen rede om nie Kokopelli Farm te besoek nie. Sal sonder twyfel weer Kokopelli Farm besoek.

Quiet, beautiful and clean.

Very nice rest and silence that one cannot buy, walking sticks and beautiful nature was a special experience. Accommodation was neat and well laid out, you don't need anything more. Dirt road (10.5 km) to accommodation is not intended for a low vehicle but is no reason not to visit Kokopelli Farm. Will definitely visit Kokopelli Farm again.

Beautiful and peaceful.

Very beautiful and peaceful place. We went while it was raining, thus the 11 km dust road to Kokopelli was a challenge. Once there, it is absolutely amazing.

Thank you so much for your great feedback Rachel!

We're so happy you enjoyed it!

Looking forward to host you again in the future.

Wegbreek van die besige stadsgewoel, stil en rustige omgewing met minimum stoornis van "onnatuurlike" geluide.

Rustige wegbreek met heerlike staproetes op die plaas, selfs 'n dam om in te swem. Die kinders het dit ook geniet om die area te verken en in die buitelug te wees. Die huis is volledig toegerus vir selfsorg, met alles in werkende toestand. Skoon en netjies.

Break away from the busy city bustle, quiet and peaceful environment with minimum disturbance of "unnatural" sounds.

Peaceful getaway with lovely walking trails on the farm, even a pond to swim in. The children also enjoyed exploring the area and being outdoors. The house is fully equipped for self-catering, with everything in working order. Clean and tidy.

Wild Seringa is die perfekte wegkruipplekkie met 'n lieflike uitsig, stilte en harmonie.

Elsabé en Carl het uit hul pad gegaan om my verblyf aangenaam te maak. Hulle het selfs my met 'n probleem bygestaan, deur Magaliesburg toe te ry en sodoende my probleem opgelos. Die gerieflike eenvoud van Wild Seringa was vir my perfek! Die lekker swem in die plaasdam en pragtige kloof op die een staproete was die perfekte vroegoggend- en skemerplekke. Ek beveel dit hoogs aan vir die gas wat 'n egte plaas-wegbreek in die natuur wil geniet. Baie dankie aan Elsabé, Carl en Allen - jul sal my beslis weer sien!

Wild Seringa is the perfect hideaway with a lovely view, silence and harmony.

Elsabé and Carl went out of their way to make my stay pleasant. They even assisted me with a problem, by driving to Magaliesburg and thereby solving my problem. The convenient simplicity of Wild Seringa was perfect for me! The nice swimming in the farm dam and beautiful gorge on the one hiking trail were the perfect early morning and dusk spots. I highly recommend it for the guest who wants to enjoy a real farm getaway in nature. Many thanks to Elsabé, Carl and Allen - you will definitely see me again!

Rustige wegbreek as jy wil stilte geniet.

Die twee aande wat ons daar was het ek gewonder oor die oop vensters. Nie geweet hoe privaat dit sou wees nie, maar tydens ons verblyf het ons nie 'n mens gesien nie. Die red earth woonplek is groter as wat die foto's dit wys en het alles wat nodig is vir 'n gemaklike verblyf. Vir nie rokers, dan sal die ander verblyfopsies miskien beter wees. Allan is 'n gasheer wat mens definitief nie pla nie en hy het selfs vir ons vars plaaseiers geskenk gegee, want ons het dit vergeet. Die staproetes is 'n moet en ek sal Kokopelli enige tyd aanbeveel vir 'n hernuwing van die siel.

Quiet getaway if you want to enjoy silence.

The two nights we were there I wondered about the open windows. Didn't know how private it would be but during our stay we didn't see a human. The red earth residence is larger than the photos show and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. For non-smokers, the other accommodation options might be better. Allan is a host who definitely doesn't bother you and he even gave us fresh farm eggs as a gift because we forgot them. The hiking trails are a must and I would recommend Kokopelli anytime for a renewal of the soul.

Baie dankie, Aiden, vir die baie mooi review.
Ek het intussen orals blinds opgesit, so gaste hoef nie meer so blootgestel te voel nie.

A beautifully peaceful, scenic spot in the Magaliesberg - perfect to get away from everything, and enjoy the joys of quiet time in nature.

Great service, clean and well-designed accommodation, and a marvellous reservoir for lazy swimming expeditions.

Dit was 'n ongelooflike wegbreek om saam met my vrou te geniet.

Daar was geen beter plek om weg van die geraas van die stad te kom nie. Die ligging was puik, die huisie was baie netjies en gemaklik met die heel beste uitsig.
