Buffalo Hills Private Game Reserve

Beautiful farmstay in the mist gorgeous surroundings.

This is a little piece of heaven. A lovely farmhouse well suited for a family get-together. The service was wonderful, and the house was clean. The kitchen was well equipped. The surroundings are so beautiful. The sand road is not as hectic as expected, and we were able to reach the farm perfectly. Kelvin was always on call if we needed anything. Will definitely be visiting again.

We had a delightful time.

We had a great time at such a beautiful place. The kids enjoyed the pool and the games that were provided by the host, and we also received great service. He made sure we never ran out of wood as the weather was a bit chilly. It's such a beautiful environment; we also saw different animals, and it's definitely nature at its best, surrounded by beautiful mountains. We are definitely going back.

Pragtige plek, perfek vir 'n wegbreek!

Uiters heerlike vakansie saam met my gesin en die perfekte plek om herinneringe te skep! Ons het in die Fishing Cottage gebly, waar ons gereeld deur die perde besoek was. Ons het vrylik toegang gehad tot die reservaat. Die uitsigte daar was pragtig, met skilderagtige heuwels, groen gras velde en 'n groot verskeidenheid wild en voëllewe. Wonderlike staproetes en die kinders het lekker in die helder poele vis gevang. Die cottage was skoon en gerieflik en was toegerus met alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Die personeel was puik, professioneel, baie vriendelik en behulpsaam! Dit was 'n unieke ervaring, veilig en afgesonder, en ons het die privaatheid en rustige atmosfeer geniet! Ons sal nie huiwer om hierdie plek aan te beveel nie. Ons sal definitief terug wees!

Peaceful and picturesque farm stay.

Beautiful place with tranquility and serene views! We were often visited by horses and farm animals, which brought a great experience. The place was equipped with everything we needed for self-catering. The fireplace, well stocked with wood, was a fantastic value add given the cold weather. We had some power disruptions, but they were attended to promptly. We really loved the great service from the team - they had a hands-on approach.

Just brilliant, we will be back.

We loved everything about our stay. The 4x4 and hiking trails, birding, wildlife, and incredible views.

Perfekte plek!

Was baie lekker, geen probleme gehad. Daar was genoeg hout vir die koue.

Absolutely awesome stay, everything was there that we needed. Sandile was fantastic.

We were relaxed in the 1st hour since our arrival, we all enjoyed the hike, game drives and fishing. Will definitely be back. Thanks Nicole. The Moutain Lodge is next on our list, it was stunningly beautiful.

Dit was baie aangenaam. Verblyf is regtig gemaklik en gerieflik.

Die grondpad was baie nat, maar Nicole het ons vooraf gewaarsku om versigtig te wees. Baie vriendelike en hulpvaardige personeel.

Awesome, amazing , private and peaceful.

Buffalo Hills Private Game Reserve, Fishing cottage was everything and more, my grandchildren never picked their phones up the whole weekend, they were outside all the time. They fished, rode their bicycles and hiked, it was awesome.

Dit is 'n rustige atmosfeer en baie mooi daar.

Dit is baie mooi daar en 'n lieflike opset.

Awesome venue.

The venue was great for a group of people. Management team on hand to answer questions and to assist. Friendly staff. Will recommend to anyone looking for a venue to rest, hike and have a 4x4 adventure.

Asemrowende mooi plek.

Ons het vreeslik lekker gekuier. Pragtige plek met die mooiste natuurskoon. Baie netjies en skoon, 5-ster-verblyf. En Jackson wat mooi na ons gekyk het van skoonmaak tot die generator aansit in loadshedding. En dan natuurlike die heerlike koffie, rooiwyn en steak wat ons as geskenk gekry het. Dit was heerlik. Baie dankie Buffalo Hills, julle sal ons vir seker weer sien.

Pragtige omgewing.

Ons het dit baie geniet, vriendelike en behulpsame personeel. Pragtige natuurskoon en rustige atmosfeer. Sal vir seker weer gaan.

Ongelooflike waarde vir geld.

Pragtige plaas tussen grasgroenberge, 'n absolute moet vir iemand wat lief is vir stilte en die natuur.

Beautiful peaceful location.

Accommodation in the fishing cottage was perfect for a great getaway. Very well equipped and clean with many personal touches. Kitchen and braai area were serviced daily, discreetly and without any fuss which was a welcome surprise Extra blankets and wall heaters available and a fireplace with firewood supplied for chilly nights. Double bunk in the rondawel a little cramped. Very friendly and helpful staff. Communication prior to booking and en route was very good. Lovely view of the dam. Roads had taken a beating from the recent heavy rain but they were busy fixing them. During high rainfall, I would strongly recommend a 4x4 for drives in the reserve. Some roads in the reserve are passable only with a 4x4. Access road was fine as they had just graded it after the rains. Having wifi was a lovely addition. Well equipped for loadshedding with gas and rechargeable lamps. Braai area lovely with view of dam.

Beautiful and quiet.

What a hidden gem Buffalo hills is! Spectacular views of the northern berg, an abundance of the amazing game, nice hiking, lovely dam for fishing. A peaceful and beautiful corner of creation, with much to see and do.

Lekkerste vakansieplek!

Baie mooi, gesellig en beslis goeie waarde vir geld! Mooiste landskap en baie om te doen as jy hou van natuur en plaaslewe! Ons gaan vir seker weer.

Saam met familie 'n bietjie weggekom.

Ons het 2 aande hier gebly. Dit was heerlik - ongelukkig het dit aanhoudend gereën, en die paaie was moeilik- selfs met ons 4x4. Maar die huise was snoesig en skoon en ons was mooi na gekyk en verwelkom. My enigste klag was die vlieë - dit was dalk omdat dit bedompig was, maar ek beveel aan dat daar meer gedoen moet word oor al die vlieë.

Rustige kalm atmosfeer.

Die verblyf was baie mooi en netjies. Die omlggende area is beeldskoon. Die pad na die verblyf kort wel werk. Nicole en Bafana het moeite gedoen om ons welkom te laat voel. Die plaashuis gevoel was baie lekker en die buitelewe so mooi gekomplimenteer.

Beautiful setting, interesting historical buildings, spacious, clean and neat.

Guests should be warned on the website when booking that a 4x4 vehicle is advised. The 15 km dirt road is extremely slippery and treacherous in rainy conditions. Members of our group got stuck on Friday, however, a team from Buffalo Hills came to assist in getting them back on the road. We ourselves got stuck at the same spot when leaving on the Sunday. We were delayed for an hour but again they came to our rescue. The problem was also exacerbated by the bad cellular network in that area. Two of the non-4x4 vehicles in the group sustained damages as a result of bad road conditions.

Relaxing, tranquil.

Free range of the entire farm. Really felt like we had te place to ourselves.

Oornag op pad Suidkus toe.

Ons het besluit om naby Harrismith te oornag aangesien ons gedink het die paaie baie besig sou wees die Vrydag wanneer die skool sluit en besluit om dag vroeër halfpad te ry. Die Cottage was baie maklik om te kry, ry presies op Google Maps tot by plek. Daar is nie sein nie maar as mens op die gratis WiFi aanteken kan mens boodskappe stuur. Dit is effens van lang grondpad maar die pad is rybaar en die vars lug, pragtige berge en natuur maak dit alles die moeite werd.

Baie goed toegerus, rustige wildsplaasatmosfeer en vriendelike diens.

Baie dankie aan Jackson. Hy het mooi na ons gekyk en seker gemaak daar is genoeg hout om lekker kaggel en die bomavuur aan die gang te hou. Beveel dit vir seker aan vir groeps- of gesinsbespreking.

Dit is pragtig.

Sjoe dit is pragtig en netjies. Daar is diere wat ek nie ken nie.

Stunning.

This was an absolute spoil for us. We loved the accommodation, walking and views. The peace and tranquility. The bird life was special. Some special, rare vulture sightings.

Dit was werklik 'n belewenis weg van die stad se geraas.

Sien sterre.

Warm en vriendelike oornag.

Lekker nagrus met warm beddens. Dit het ons voorberei vir 'n lekker naweek van stap in die Drakensberge.

Die plaas waarop die kothuis is, is beeldskoon. Ons het lekker gebly en sal enige tyd weer terug gaan. Dankie vir 'n lekker naweek.

Die huisie waarin ons gebly het was baie skoon en netjies. Dit is een van die beste selfsorgplekke waar ek al gebly het. Ons het baie lekker gebly en gekuier. Die Buffalo Hills personeel was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik.

Brilliant location, great accommodation, wonderful hosts and superb housekeeper.

It provided everything we wanted: comfort, amenities, activities and, most spectacularly, views. Gary and Lulu were caring and helpful and nothing was too much for Jackson - a true gem.

Wonderlike natuurskoon met elke dag iets nuuts om te doen.

Die plaashuis was vir ons familie 'n treffer. Met 'n badkamer vir elke kamer, ruim kombuis en vertrekke en 'n lieflike stoep as bonus. Jackson het elke dag kom skoonmaak. Die omgewing het iets vir almal aan te bied - visvang, stap, 4x4, wildkyk en 'n ryk voëllewe. Werklik 'n paradys vir natuurliefhebbers. Die Plaashuis is gemaklik en gerieflik, met 'n outentieke, langbestaan decor.

We had a fabulous stay. Will definitely recommend to others. Harrismith was about 20 km away from tarred road, there was a Checkers and Spar also restaurants there.

Will definitely recommend to others. Nice place to relax away from the hustle and bustle. We took a 4x4 ride alongside the nature reserve, we saw plenty of buffalos, ostriches, baboons etc.

Awesome, beautiful views and accommodation.

We had an awesome long weekend and for our group of 12 people (4 generations) accommodation was amazing, spacious, and didn't short anything. Shaun was a star helping and Jackson was an absolute blessing. Our 4 grand children enjoyed the walks and animals as well as finding Peter Rabbit. Will definitely recommend. Thank you all, we had fun and enjoyed our stay.

Beste plek nog.

Die ligging is die regte plek om net weg te kom van als en nog steeds als het wat 'n mens nodig het. Beste ooit.

Uitstekende slaapeenhede, privaat met asemrowende uitsig. Goed toegeruste kuierplek.

Sit-eetkamer baie, baie goed toegerus met hoë-kwaliteit toerusting. Lodge baie skoon en word goed onderhou. Die skoonmaakdiens is uitstekend en is altyd beskikbaar indien benodig. Die slaapeenhede is baie privaat met elkeen se eie karakter. Ons beste ervaring nog en asemrowend mooi.

Rustige pragtige natuurskoon - heerlike omgewing.

Rustige omgewing, heerlik!

Net wat ons nodig gehad het, puik diens, pragtige plek, asemrowende natuur.

Sal beslis weer besoek, genoeg spasie en slaapplek vir groot groep.

Pragtig, rustig, wonderlik!

Dit was 'n ongelooflik plek om te bly. So mooi en rustig. Ons het dit verskriklik geniet en die mooiste wild gesien. Kan dit sterk aanbeveel.

Peace & tranquillity.

Beautiful place offering good accommodation along with much needed peace & tranquillity. Owners were very helpful and even took us on an unexpected quick tour around the farm. The only concern are the gravel roads leading to venue and also on the farm. 4x4 a definite requirement to fully appreciate buffalo hills.

Fantastiese plek, perfekte ligging.

Ons het absoluut heerlik gebly, en gaan beslis weer terug wees. Als is skoon, netjies en baie goed ingerig. Jackson was 'n ster!
