Bushbliss Lodge

To sum it up in one word, it was "blissful", superb and amazing =).

To sum it up in one word, it was "blissful". With the rushed pace of life, we were looking for a quiet getaway place away from the hustle and bustle of life, and we found it here. Just 40 minutes' drive from Centurion, we were in the middle of what felt like bushveld. A clean, quiet place with plenty to do: walking trails, a games room, a Jacuzzi, and the soothing sounds of birdlife all around you. The nights are quiet, and the surroundings offer a chance to get some proper rest and spend quality time with loved ones. The host was super friendly and happy to share info on walking trails and things to do, checking in daily to see if all is ok and if we were comfortable and happy. His passion for the accommodation shines through like a bright star. Coupling this with his knowledge of the local fauna and flora, it was a pleasure speaking with him. And then we need to mention one of the 3 resident K9's, calm and friendly-natured as his owner. He accompanied us on our walks and guided us along the pathways. He too checked in on us daily and made us feel part of the family. Staying at Bushbliss Lodge was an amazing experience, and we left with a bit of sadness knowing Monday is knocking on our doors. We will most certainly revisit Bushbliss Lodge. We arrived tired and looking for some quiet time, and left this morning refreshed and recharged. Thanks for a super weekend. We really had a great time at your facility. =).

Perfect.

Very peaceful and the service was very good.

Waarde vir geld.

Rustig in die natuur. Jacuzzi was die hoogtepunt, skoon en buite by braai area. Sal definitief weer 'n draai maak! Lekker wegbreek vir 'n naweek. Baie om te doen en te sien vir oud en jonk.

Lekker wegbreek naby huis, privaat in die bos.

Dankie aan Lain. Perfekte gasheer. Jacuzzi is 'n wenner!

Wegbreek duisend!

Ons sal beslis weer Bushbliss Lodge besoek. Die natuurskoon is absoluut pragtig en dit is heerlik stil en vreedsaam, met 'n gevoel dat jy ver weg is van die stad. Iain was baie behulpsaam om ons gemaklik te laat voel. Daar is heelwat om te doen vir ontspanning, soos staproetes, 'n jacuzzi en 'n 4x4-roete net om die draai.

Perfect spot to re-energize.

Fantastic spot to recharge and have fun with the family. Exactly as described. The kids absolutely loved the jacuzzi, table tennis, and adventure bowls.

Perfekte wegbreek van die stad af!

Ons was vriendelik ontvang deur Iain en Caesar (staffie). Pragtige, klein eenheid ingerig met die nodigste. Die jacuzzi en privaat braai-area was lieflik, waar 'n mens die natuurskoon en -klanke kon waardeer. Het beide staproetes aangedurf met Caesar aan ons sy. Ons het die mooiste wild op ons roetes teëgekom, en 'n pragtige uitsig gehad bo-op die koppie. Was slegs twee aande daar, maar het beslis ontspanne en uitgerus gevoel.

Die Jacuzzi was ons hoogtepunt.

Ons huisie het nie baie privaatheid gehad nie. Eienaar kom stook die donkie vir warm water soggens en saans, ons sou dit graag eerder self wou doen. Eienaar is wel vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Rustig, vryheid en vrede!

Die eienaar is baie gasvry. Die plekkie was mooi en skoon en die privaat Jacuzzi 'n wenner. Het ook die staproete teen die berg op baie geniet. Die plek is "off grid" en alles het puik gewerk. Geen "loadshedding" of water te kort nie. Die braai en Jacuzzi is bymekaar en jy het basies jou eie privaat erf. Jou kar staan onderdak. Die potte en panne is van uitstaande gehalte. Ons het ons tydjie baie geniet. Sal die plek beslis aanbeveel!

Rus en vrede.

Puik diens ontvang van Lian. Stil wegbreek nie te ver van Pretoria nie. Borrelbad was skoon en het 100% gewerk. Alles was skoon en netjies. Die wandelpad saam met Ceazer (staffie) was ook 'n belewenis en die natuur van daarbo asemrowend. Ek sal vir seker die plek aanbeveel indien jy die stilte van die bos verkies sonder TV en sosiale media.

This was truly one of our best stays. The whole experience was down to earth.

You are made to feel part of the day-to-day experience. The lodgings at Bushbliss Lodge were comfortable and the time spent there was charming. We were truly spoiled with stories about the area and how neighbors look out for each other. Iain, the owner of the establishment, is a wonderful person. We will definitely recommend Bushbliss Lodge simply because of the passion of the individuals we were lucky to have met. It's a must for parents with inquisitive children.

Rustig, skoon lug en kon lekker rus.

Bosveld omgewing met private Jacuzzi. Ons 1 slaapkamer (Sun & Moon) eenheid was klein, maar gerieflik en privaat. Buite-leefarea is omhein wat dit lekker vir ons klein hondjies gemaak het.

Wonderlike klein plekkie waar mens net kan wegkom van die haastige stadslewe af! In die bos, rustig en stil!

Pragtige klein boshuisie met 'n gesellige kaggel in die slaapkamer wat die wintersnagte baie spesiaal maak. Definitief die moeite werd, net so bietjie gesukkel met sein, maar ons sal beslis weer kom kuier! Iain het uit sy pad uitgegaan om ons welkom te laat voel!

Baie goeie kliëntediens.

Iain is altyd bereid om te help en om te alles so gerieflik as moontlik te maak. Sal definitief aanbeveel.

Amazing naweek weg.

Vreeslike lekker plek, het vir 'n naweek gegaan. Dis so netjies en skoon die eienaar is baie behulpsaam. Die Jacuzzi is so lekker vir die kids. Sal definitief aanbeveel vir enige iemand. Rustig en so stil daar beste naweekwegbreek uit die stad.

Baie rustige, veilige, privaat rusplek.

Sun en Moon-huisie was perfek vir my en vroulief gewees. As jy 'n okek soek om weg te breek van die gejaagde stadslewe, is dit die plek om te gaan rus. Kaggel in die kamer vir 'n warm vertrek in die koue wintersaande. Jacuzzi en braaiplek ideaal en privaat. Sal dit aanbeveel vir die paartjies wat net wil wegbreek en rus. Goed en vriendelik ontvang deur Ian en gesorg dat ons gelukkig is met ons blyplek en verduidelik hoe alles werk en ons tuis laat voel. Baie dankie Ian, dit was awesome.

Vriendelike diens, met alles wat jy nodig het. Heerlike braaigeriewe, en borrelbad is 'n treffer!

Dankie vir vars blomme binne die huis. Netjiese en skoon eenheid, met 'n verwelkomende gasheer. Goed ingerig en 'n kaggel in die kamer. Borrelbad is 'n wenner, met lekker warm water. Verskillende braaigeriewe en vuurmaakplek wat aan verskillende behoeftes sal voldoen. Eenheid is goed toegerus met alles wat jy nodig het vir 'n welverdiende wegbreek in stilte. Gemaklike groot yskas beskikbaar. Gasheer het baie ekstra moeite gedoen. Dierevriendelik onder beheer van jou eie diere.

Relaxing and stress-free.

Place was nice and remote, very quiet and peaceful.

Really enjoyed our four night stay in the four-sleeper cottage. Fantastic Birdlife and free-roaming game.

The unit is very spacious and clean and Iain, the owner, is very attentive and helpful. It is a very peaceful place with fantastic bird life and free-roaming game. There are some nice walking trails to explore. Each unit also has a private Jacuzzi, braai, patio etc. It is also not far from Cullinan which has an abundance of interesting shops, restaurants and guided mine and museum tours which we really enjoyed. If you like peace, birds and animals, I would highly recommend a stay at Bush Bliss Lodge.

Stunning, quiet getaway!

This is a stunning, clean "off-grid" destination. When you totally want to break away from the rush! Ian is an excellent and friendly host. He even cleaned the jacuzzi mid-stay! Accommodation is clean (and small). Very quiet, away from everything. Vodacom was almost non-existent for most of the long weekend (Yippie!). My wife was able to connect with MTN often enough to stay in touch with our daughter. Loved the 4 km and 7 km (not marked) hikes we enjoyed during our stay. We did a bit of nothing sitting in the "garage", then a bit of nothing in the jacuzzi, then a bit of nothing under the tree in the lapa, then a bit of nothing under the big tree close to the concrete slab, then a bit (couple of hours) sleeping! This all just to attend my 39-year (class of '84) reunion on the Saturday. Will highly recommend Bushbliss Lodge for a total breakaway for a weekend or long weekend!

Ian loop die ekstra myl.

Daar was 'n probleem met sy krag die dag van ons aankoms, en hy het vir ons ander verblyf gereël en die ander instansie ten volle betaal. Die volgende dag is ons terug na sy plek toe, en hy het geweier dat ek enige verdere gelde betaal. Hy was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik en behartig alles alleen. Ek sal hom te eniger tyd aanbeveel en sal verseker weer daarheen gaan.

Awesome, rustig, veilig en rus vir die siel.

Die gebied is baie mooi en veilig, wilde diere gesien. Daar was altyd water vir stort. Ons het nie met load shedding gesukkel nie. Geen muskiete of vlieë gehad. Lekker gebraai en Jacuzzi.

What a lovely stay, such an awesome host as well!

Such a lovely, spacious (!) place and really well equipped. We had a great time and so did our dogs. The jacuzzi was an ideal bonus. Iain is a great guy and he went out of his way to make our stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. We will definitely be back and will recommend to friends!

Daar is nie veel om te doen nie maar die Jacuzzi het baie handig in gekom.

Ons verblyf was baie baie lekker. Wat jy sien is wat jy kry. Dit genoeg vir 2 mense. Ons was permanent in die Jacuzzi. As jy gaan om te rus is dit die plek. Baie mooi geleë tussen al die bome. Baie vriendelike security en Iain is net so vriendelik. Daar was geen WiFi pin vir ons gegee nie. Ook niks genoem van WiFi nie. As loadshedding inslaan is daar letterlik niks om te doen nie.

Beautiful and peaceful, awesome host!

Definitely a place to relax and unwind. Very cosy and the jacuzzi is a great benefit. Thanks to the awesome host! Definitely recommend it to anybody!

Peaceful.

Myself and my partner wanted to break free from the concrete jungle and get some peace and quiet and Bushbliss was perfect. Our host Iain was an absolutely amazing guy and full of detail about the surroundings and wildlife. The property was beyond perfect and we'll definitely be on our way back soon. Thanks for the epic weekend.

We had a wonderful time in the peaceful surroundings.

The place looks exactly like the pictures and is very neat and spacious. Iain was an excellent host.

We had a wonderful stay at Bushbliss Lodge.

Iain is a very accommodating host and ensured we were comfortable and had everything we needed. A lovely tranquil environment for an amazing break from the city without having to sit hours in the car. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back and recommend it to anyone looking for a weekend break. Tranquil and relaxing stay, with beautiful views and a wonderful hike.

Fantasties in die natuur!

Ian is 'n baie goeie gasheer en gaan uit sy pad om alles te doen vir gemak. Die verblyf en omgewing is wonderlik. Sal vir seker weer daar besoek.

Rustige, stil omgewing en verblyf met als wat jy nodig het skaars 20min buite Pretoria.

Bushbliss is unieke plek met baie spasie en als wat mens nodig het vir naweekwegbreek. Iain is 'n baie akkommoderende en behulpsame host en help dadelik met enige versoek. Klein tot groter groepe kan met gemak daar kuier en ontspan en die stilte van die reservaat geniet. Dit wat mens kry vir die prys is meer as die moeite werd.
