    Perfect location away from the city This is a stay which encapsulates farm life. It is for those seeking an escape from the TV to reconnect. Rod is an amazing host. We enjoyed our time there. The farm neighbours were also great and offer other activities to enjoy.

    Nothing. It’s a farm house. Just the way I expected.

    Definitely the host. Rodney is such a warm and welcoming person. We really enjoyed staying at the property. The food was amazing. My kids calls it “the farmers house “, and they would visit the farmer any day. The daily walks to the dam were the best.

    I can't think of anything at the moment.

    The peace and tranquillity of the cottage made it a comfortable retreat. Rodney was an excellent host, and Amos, one of the staff, was very supportive. They all went the extra mile to make our stay excellent.

    This little spot was idyllic, despite the bad weather, a wood fire warmed the cosy cottage and made the stay a delight, not to mention the home cooked breakfasts and dinners and the respectful friendliness of a wonderful host.

    We stayed at Little Forest Farm for a week. The owner, Rodney, made us feel right at home. The unit was very spacious and clean and the bed comfortable. We had dinner at the restaurant the one day, it turned out that Rodney is a master chef as well. Starters was roasted sheep's tail, mains a deliciously spiced Butter Chicken and the desert one of the best Crème Brûlée we ever had... Amazing!!

    If you hate it I will personally refund 50% of your stay. The other 50% you cannot get back bcz you will be lying.

    Nothing. We were well taken care of. Rodney is a warm and attentive host. Due to the design of the Loft it can get very warm in summer but 2 fans were provided to keep us cool. Thank you for that.

    Rodney's interaction with me from the time our reservation was confirmed. He was able to send me all relevant information about Little Forest to ensure a seamless and happy stay. The Loft is clean and well designed. It's also equipped with all necessary amenities to ensure a comfortable stay. Even though our unit is a self-catering unit, we were provided with milk, coffee/tea and sugar. We ordered our Saturday meals and they were well prepared and delicious.

    I liked that it was an hour way from joburg, off the grid and just quiet and peaceful. Rodney does do meals I'd you ask in advance but also has everything for cooking on gas or braai. it's ment yo be an off the grid shut down and find your space moment which was exactly what we wanted and got. a little cute walk to a dam near by that you can go sit by and just chill and enjoy the quiet and peace.

    We requested a halal diet. Not only did Rodney go out of his way to meet it, he enthusiastically exceeded our expectations with his fine dining offer. The place is off grid. Much of his herbs and vegetable are either grown on site or sourced locally.
