Peaceful quiet beautiful.

This is a beautiful place, lovely and quiet. The only issue we had was that we didn't have hot water the first night; someone forgot to turn the geyser on. But otherwise, it was lovely all around.

Absolutely loved our stay - it was just what the Dr ordered.

I would, however, recommend that they provide some kind of hanging or closet space in the main bedroom of the unit that we stayed in. We had to keep all our clothes in our bags.

Heerlik ontspan en die netjiese geriewe waardeer.

Ons het op die karavaan staanplek gekamp met ons Skipper Oyster sleepwa. Die sleepwa het die grondpad na die staanplek met gemak hanteer. Pragtige ligging, skoon badkamers, vriendelike ontvangs en behulpsame personeel. Braai en badkamers word daagliks skoongemaak. Staanplekke het elk sy eie waterkraan, krag (karavaan blouprop tipe) en braai staander. Die 5 staanplekke is baie naby aan mekaar, so gaan as 'n minimum 2 staanplekke langs mekaar as vriende of familie, of jy gaan baie gou vriende moet maak met buurman. Die plek is regtig die moeite werd as jy rustigheid soek vir 'n paar dae, in die bos onder die sterre en 'n klipgooi van die Wesrand waar ons woon. Sal weer daar 'n draai maak.

Wonderfully relaxing and appreciating the neat facilities.

We camped on the caravan site with our Skipper Oyster trailer. The trailer handled the dirt road to the stand with ease. Beautiful location, clean bathrooms, friendly reception and helpful staff. Barbecue and bathrooms are cleaned daily. Pitches each have their own water tap, power (caravan blue plug type) and braai stand. The 5 pitches are very close to each other, so go as a minimum of 2 pitches next to each other as friends or family, or you will have to make friends with your neighbor very soon. The place is really worth it if you are looking for tranquility for a few days, in the forest under the stars and a stone's throw from the West Rand where we live. Will make a visit there again.

Shamba Yetu exceeded expectations with exceptional customer service!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Shamba Yetu, and it truly stands out as one of the finest weekend/vacation destinations we've experienced - the photos don't do it justice! Our time at Tent 1 was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to the outstanding customer service. Their responsiveness and constant availability to assist guests made our stay even more enjoyable. From the moment of our arrival, it was evident that Shamba Yetu had meticulously planned every aspect of our experience. The breathtaking views and a myriad of activities available ensured there was never a dull moment during our stay. Whether you're seeking a serene connection with nature, a chance to recharge, or simply wish to immerse yourself in a good book, Shamba Yetu is the perfect haven. The private tents contribute to a peaceful and quiet atmosphere on the farm, making it an ideal retreat. We're already looking forward to our next visit to Shamba Yetu, and our heartfelt thanks go to the team for making our stay truly memorable!

Peaceful and amazing views.

We will be returning bi-weekly to this wonderful place. The images do not do this place justice. When staying at Shamba Yetu Mountain Lodge, the friendly resident Nyala named Bambi is always around for a visit. We were visited by a muster of peacocks, which was absolutely beautiful. Having your own private plunge pool and fire pit is exactly what every couple needs on a quiet weekend away. Enrica, the host, is so friendly and accommodating no matter the time of day or reason for a call. If I could give Shamba Yetu Mountain Lodge a 10-star rating, I absolutely would.

Baie lekker Bosveld wegbreek.

Die plek is aangenaam mooi, bekostigbaar en naby Gauteng vir 'n vinnige wegbreek. Daar is genoeg veld om kinders besig te hou met 'n lekker plaasdam/swembad om in af te koel.

Fantastiese wegbreeknaweek saam met vriende.

Ons was opgegradeer van 'n karavaanstaanplek na 'n luukse tenthuis. Ons was met oop arms verwelkom en het voltyds vriendlike diens gekry. Die terrein was voltyds skoon en netjies. Die braaigeriewe was elke oggend vroeg skoongemaak en nuwe hout is elke dag gebring. Ons was op lekker staproetes en het ons tyd by Shamba Yetu Mountain lodge baie geniet. Ek sal dit defnintief voorstel aan enige iemand.

Fantastic weekend getaway with friends.

We were upgraded from a caravan site to a luxury tented home. We were welcomed with open arms and received friendly service at all times. The grounds were clean and tidy at all times. The braai facilities were cleaned early every morning and new wood was brought every day. We were on nice hiking trails and really enjoyed our time at Shamba Yetu Mountain lodge. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Ek hou van rond rits en gebruik die webtuiste altyd om te bespreek. Hierdie was vir seker een van my persoonlike gunstelinge! Ek en my twee dogters (12 en 14) wou net wegbreek uit die stad. 2 dae voor ons arriveer bel hulle om seker te maak ek ken die pad en het al die nommers wat ek moet hê. Toe ek daar aankom is daar 'n brug met water wat oorloop (na vorige dag se reën) Heather en Viona kom met die bakkie en kom haal my, ry my in my eie kar oor die rivier, no issue. Ons ry op teen die berg tot by die tente. Hulle wys my en die girls rond terwyl Joseph al ons goed uitlaai (3 girls kan pak). Heather vra of ons hou van stap en bied aan om ons die volgende oggend te vat om te gaan stap en vir Bambie (die mak Njala-ooi) te gaan ontmoet. So stap ons en Viona vertel ons van die plaas, bome, geskiedenis en hoe hulle droom 'n werklikheid geword het. Hulle luister na my kinders se stories oor Anime, vriende, hulle weird sienings oor die lewe. Toe ons daar klaar is bel Heather die buurplaas en reël dat ons na die leeus gaan kyk. Niks van hierdie was deel van hul werk, maar hulle het gekies om hul persoonlike tyd op te offer ter wille van ons. Ek het lanklaas twee sulke amazing, real mense ontmoet. Dis deesdae raar. Buiten vir die gasvryheid is die verblyf in die tent iets anders. Dis glamping. Jy hoor die jakkalse en leeus vir mekaar sing deur die nag. Die voëls maak jou wakker en jy kan die dag groet in die pretjie-mooi bos. Jy is deel van die skildery. Joseph het ons selfs kom red van 'n padda. Sielsrus, 'n stukkie hemel wat ek vir enige een sal aanbeveel wat uit die stad wil wegbreek. Shamba Yetu, julle sien ons vir seker weer! Dankie vir beautiful herinneringe!

Wow! Wow! Wow!

I like to zip around and always use the website to book. This was one of my personal favorites for sure! My two daughters (12 and 14) and I just wanted to get away from the city. 2 days before we arrive they call to make sure I know the way and have all the numbers I need. When I got there there was a bridge with water overflowing (after the previous day's rain) Heather and Viona came with the bakkie and picked me up, drove me over the river in my own car, no issue. We drive up the mountain to the tents. They show me and the girls around while Joseph unloads all our things (3 girls can fit). Heather asks if we like walking and offers to take us for a walk the next morning and meet Bambie (the tame Njala ewe). So we walk and Viona tells us about the farm, trees, history and how their dream became a reality. They listen to my children's stories about Anime, friends, their weird views on life. When we finished there, Heather called the neighboring farm and arranged for us to go look at the lions. None of this was part of their job, but they chose to sacrifice their personal time for our sake. I haven't met two such amazing, real people for a long time. It's weird these days. Apart from the hospitality, the stay in the tent is something else. It's glamping. You hear the foxes and lions sing to each other through the night. The birds wake you up and you can greet the day in the fun-beautiful forest. You are part of the painting. Joseph even came to save us from a frog. Peace of mind, a piece of heaven that I would recommend to anyone who wants to get away from the city. Shamba Yetu, you will see us again for sure! Thanks for the beautiful memories!

Ons wegbreek was rustig, veilig en bediening was gasvry en gemaklik.

Die tent waarin ons gewoon het was groot en gemaklik, en het alles gehad wat ons nodig gehad het. Enrica was 'n absolute ster. Sy het ingeloer net voordat ons vertrek het, en het tyd gehou met wanneer ons veronderstel is om te arriveer. Sy het ons gehelp met hout en ys, en was besonders gasvry. Ek is self in die bedryf, en dit was vir my lekker om dit bietjie van die anderkant te ervaar. Die wildsrit was heerlik en ons het so baie gesien en van die natuur ervaar. Ons het elke dag gaan stap, dit was veilig en die natuur wonderskoon. Selfs ons bure was vriendelik. Dit was die eerste keer wat my meisiekind 'n plaasdam ervaar, so sy het haarself gate-uit geniet, ons almal het.

Our getaway was peaceful, safe and service was hospitable and comfortable.

The tent we lived in was large and comfortable, and had everything we needed. Enrica was an absolute star. She stopped by just before we left, and kept time with when we were supposed to arrive. She helped us with wood and ice, and was particularly hospitable. I am in the industry myself, and it was nice for me to experience it a bit from the other side. The game drive was wonderful and we saw and experienced so much of nature. We went for a walk every day, it was safe and the nature was beautiful. Even our neighbors were friendly. It was my little girl's first time experiencing a farm pond, so she enjoyed herself, we all did.

Dit was ontspannened, so lekker in die bos

Ons het dit regtig geniet om langs die kampvuur elke aand te ontspan, die slaapgeriewe was ook baie lekker. Die naweek was net te kort, sal moet terug gaan in warmer weer.

It was relaxing, so nice in the woods

We really enjoyed relaxing by the campfire every night, the sleeping facilities were also very nice. The weekend was just too short, will have to go back in warmer weather.

Peaceful and serene.

Beautiful lodge with friendly staff and owner. Super clean and has great kitchen utensils for basic cooking and food prep. Beds have electric blankets for winter nights, which is a nice gesture from the lodge.

Die wegbreek wat ons lewe 'n nuwe toekoms gebring het.

Die plek is asemrowend en ongelooflik stil. Die perfekte wegbreek in die bos. Alles wat jy benodig is klaar daar. Die mense is ongelooflik vriendelik en help graag waar hulle kan. Sonder dat ons dit geweet het, het hulle personeel elke oggend die plek skoongemaak en die bed opgemaak. 'n Mens hoef regtig niks te doen nie, behalwe rus. Ek het ook die naweek verloof geraak aan my lewensmaat met die mooiste uitsig. Wil graag aan almal by Shamba Yetu dankie sê vir die wonderlike tyd.

The break that brought our life a new future.

The place is breathtaking and incredibly quiet. The perfect getaway in the woods. Everything you need is already there. The people are incredibly friendly and happy to help where they can. Unbeknownst to us, their staff cleaned the place every morning and made the bed. One really doesn't have to do anything except rest. I also got engaged to my partner this weekend with the most beautiful view. Would like to thank everyone at Shamba Yetu for the wonderful time.

Dit was wonderlik! Baie skoon en netjies!

Enrica en die res van die personeel is die mees vriendelikste mense. Hul kry 10/10 vir gasvryheid! Enrica staan reg om mens te help met enige iets wat jy dalk sal benodig. Ons het gekamp en die ablusiegeriewe is baie skoon en netjies! Die uitsig enige plek op die plaas is asemrowend! Ons sal beslis weer by Shamba Yetu gaan kuier. Regtig waarde vir geld.

Relaxing and fun weekend away.

All the amenities were present, and the owner was in constant contact to make sure everything was fine. Michael was very friendly and helpful, and cleaned the braai early every morning, replacing the used wood with fresh wood.

Exceptional and most enjoyable.

Wow we were so blessed by Enrica and Shamba Yetu. Everything from start to finish was as good as it gets. 6 star service, friendliness, hospitality, scenery, nature walks all over the farm, peace and tranquility, spending time and cooling off in the water at the river picnic spot, birdlife at the spruit and much more. Enrica went out of her way to accommodate all of our requests. Everything exceeded our expectations, really. Thank you and very well done Enrica and Shamba Yetu. Just remember to bring mosquito repellant/spray during the summer months.

Kalm wegbreek met pragtige landskap en vriendelike, hulpvaardige staff.

Die staff is sout van die aarde mense. Ongelooflik vriendelik en gee innig om oor die geluk en gemak van hul besoekers. Die landskap is asemrowend mooi met 'n uitkyk oor die Magaliesberge. Ons het baie gemaklik in die vaste tent gebly en het alles gehad wat ons nodig gehad het. Lekker kuierarea met 'n braaier en 'n vuurput. Chef Heather het vir ons 'n romantiese piekniek aangeknoop langs die rivier met 'n groot verskeidenheid van eetgoed om van te kies. Algeheel 'n wonderlike wegbreek met luuksheid en gemak.

Calm getaway with beautiful landscape and friendly, helpful staff.

The staff are salt of the earth people. Incredibly friendly and genuinely care about the happiness and comfort of their visitors. The landscape is breathtakingly beautiful with a view over the Magaliesberge. We stayed very comfortably in the fixed tent and had everything we needed. Nice sitting area with a braai and a fire pit. Chef Heather arranged a romantic picnic for us by the river with a large selection of food to choose from. Overall a great getaway with luxury and comfort.

Dit was rustig en net wat ons nodig gehad het. Stilte en pragtige uitsig.

Tydens ons aankoms is ons vriendelik ontvang deur Enrica en haar personeel. Ons het dadelik ontspan en die mooi omgewing was pragtig. Enrica het op die oggend met ons inboek, vir ons 'n ander eenheid voorberei. Dit het baie vir ons beteken. Daar is baie voëls sommer orals rondom jou. Pragtige uitkykpunt wat die dag op 'n hoë noot afsluit. Hoogs aan te beveel.

Enrica checked in with us in the morning, prepared another unit for us. It meant a lot to us. There are many birds just everywhere around you. Beautiful viewpoint that ends the day on a high note. Highly recommend.
