Good day
We stayed at the property on Saturday. The room was excellent, but the service and the standard of food were shocking. I booked through booking.com. I have booked multiple times through booking.com for many establishments, and the process has always been to pay on arrival. Your receptionist took it upon herself to request payment before our arrival, causing my payment to decline and incurring unnecessary charges on my side and further embarrassing me in front of my partner. I have experienced fraud on my account/card multiple times. Hence, I have to authorize payment. No communication or mention was made that I would need to make prior payment. I would have been happy to make payment prior if it had been communicated.
Your staff are friendly but untrained and have little to no knowledge of what you offer or your services. We decided to have drinks at the bar before dinner. Your drinks menu is limited, and you do not offer cocktails. I received little to no assistance on what could be made for me. And I was told to get up and go to the bar because both gentlemen working in the bar area had no clue about what you had in stock ,which was even more shocking because your alcohol options to make up a cocktail are so limited. I then explained to the barman what combination he could do for a cocktail.
Dinner was appalling. We requested a wine menu which took forever to arrive as you only have one wine menu for all guests. The bread box/basket was bizarre. Clearly bought in commercial sour dough bread, bland meatballs , shortbread biscuits, and lurpak butter still in its original packaging. Starters: Duck carpaccio with a homemade store bought Sriracha, blueberries, and kewpie mayo, completely different from what was indicated on the menu. My mind is completely blown at this combination and the sheer lack of skill or knowledge used to execute this poor menu. This was served on lettuce, which also blew me away.

The location was fine. But I would suggest that they install wifi that is very good even in the rooms.
Moreover, It would be more nicer if they cam serve breakfast at the lodge.

Magaliesburg is a lovely place for a short getaway.
Magaliesburg is a lovely place for a short getaway. Close enough to Jhb, but you still get the feeling of being away. There are a number of interesting places to visit, and it's lovely to see the local people making such efforts to build up their businesses and the area.

If you are in the Magaliesburg area, be sure to stop at Black Horse brewery and restaurant. They have some of the best pizzas, burgers, craft beer and gin in the country. Everything is hand-crafted and the venue is absolutely gorgeous with its terraces, rolling gardens and fields. The Spar in Magalies has everything you might need if you are staying at a self-catering venue, so no need to drag your kitchen along.

Th ecradle of humankind was a great place to know better about human existence and how it came about it was a really informative journey for people who envy to know better about the history of humans we booked a place called valley lodge it was a great to be a t we really enjoyed our visit we ate delicious food that made us feel at home exciting places are closeby we didnt strruggle to move from point a to b
Tranquility of the environment, friendliness of staff and owner👌👌 she even offered us her salad dressing because it was going to require us to drive out to spar to buy it. We loved the fact that the hiking trails where just a walk away from our accommodation. Beautiful place that is exactly what you see in the pictures. Will most definitely recommend it to friends and family and will be most definitely go back again I really really loved the place. Excellent place is you love the beauty nature. 👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful location in Magaliesburg. The property is surrounded by huge trees, so you don't hear traffic, or see any other places nearby. There are lovely walks to do on the property, and my suite was tucked up on top of a hill surrounded by trees which means I had 100% quiet and privacy (Suite 3).
The staff are friendly and helpful, and the food was lovely. Grounds are beautiful, and our rooms were clean & comfortable, with a touch of luxury. I will definitely be returning.
Food was great. Accomodation was spacious and clean. The views are spectacular and the game drive was amazing. Simply everything was excellent. I have visited many countries and stayed in almost more than 50 countries and I can say this hotel is number 1 ion my list. I even had more joy in this hotel than Walt Disney USA. All staff were very kind and helpful. Thanks to Lucas, Elias and Lovemore for going the extra mile
The property is in excellent condition and very clean - the garden layout and landscaping are exceptional. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive and management is ever-present. Meals were generous with a good selection on offer and the hotel went out of its way to cater for Easter meals. The spa treatments and facilities are both fantastic.
Everything! The whole estate was beautiful and well kept. The swimming pool was a big pleasure after my morning 20 km run along the beautiful Magaliesburg mountains.
Even the dogs greeted us so lovingly!
The bed was extremely comfortable and we slept like kings for the two nights stay.
The staff treats you like family, the hotel and accomodation is absolutely beautiful with a lovely view of Friesian Horses and farmland. The food is 5 star. If you need a break from stress and city life, this tranquil setting will be the place, its just over an hour out of Johannesburg.
This is a very comfortable, characterful hotel. It reminds one strongly of the Cape in architecture and gardens. The bedrooms are huge, comfortable and nicely furnished, and the bathrooms large and well-equipped. Very friendly staff who could not do enough to make one welcome.
The grounds were amazing. The hotel poured a special bath with rose petals for our anniversary. The attention to detail from the staff was lovely and we will be back!
It is situated on a farm close to the Magaliesburg. It is quiet and off the grid. The host was very welcoming and accomodating and the food was extremely tasteful.
The service, the food, the clean and serene environment. Games room and the walk around the hotel is a great initiative. Cherry on top is the spa treatment
a getaway to a peaceful paradise just an hour out of Joburg but 2 minutes out of Magaliesburg in case groceries are needed. Would go back in a heartbeat.
