Absolutely amazing!! Surrounded by nature and peace and quiet. Perfect little hide away if you are looking for a romantic get away. We stayed in the Jacuzzi Cottage. We were welcomed and we felt right at home from the moment our booking was confirmed up until the moment we checked out. Will definitely be returning next year for our wedding anniversary again.
I love going here to break away from every day life. The host went above and beyond to assist me with my requests. I will go back for sure. It is so magical and special being in the bush in such a beautiful cabin. you have all you need.
Rustic, relaxing and recharging.
The road leading to the chalet is rough. SUV or bakkie is required to reach the destination. The helper, Zoce, was very friendly. The facility was very clean. Everything works. I would suggest a microwave for the unit. Make sure you bring enough groceries. The shops are situated far out. Brauhaus is close by and worth the visit. The Jacuzzi is wonderful. We had the best stay of our lives. Peaceful, quiet and secluded.
Honestly can’t say enough good things about this place. My boyfriend and I stayed there over a weekend and the only thing I can complain about is the fact that we hadn’t booked to stay longer! Zoce was so friendly and so helpful. The cabin is very secluded and peaceful. The room and surroundings were well kept and clean. You definitely get your moneys worth and then some. We will definitely be going back. Thank you for this hidden gem! Amazing amazing amazing place
Stayed two nights at Impressions retreat. We stayed in the sky cabin and loved having our own private fire pit and beautifully maintained pool. We made full use of the hiking trails along the ridge with breathtaking views and paddled in the river pools. Although the bird and wild life is very shy ,we still saw monkeys, kudu, mongoose and numerous bird species as well as seeing the spoor and scat of multiple buck species, porcupine and serval. The only drawbacks are the road leading to the cabin which became very difficult in the wet weather, the cabin can get very stuffy in the heat and the near by school can get very rowdy which intruded on the otherwise perfect solitude of the bush. But overall a private, picturesque retreat and we will definitely become regulars.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Impressions retreat. the wooden chalet was clean and had everything we needed. the surrounding area was beautiful, quiet and completely private. The pool area was magnificent, the pool a clear, sparkling blue, with relaxing loungers and a day bed in case you wanted a little snooze. Impressions Retreat was everything you wanted and expected from a quite bushveld getaway.
We had a lovely stay and felt honored to be able to stay in the main house. When life happens and an honest mistake and double booking occurred, Sonwabo and his wife opened their beautiful private home on the property to us. We felt truly relieved and their kind gesture made the stay even more special than we anticipated. Our friends stayed in the cottages and were very impressed and we would both recommend Impressions Retreat as a top class accommodation choice.
Once again, we thank you for such a wonderful time and your open heart and cosy home. Your guest farm is beautiful and so are you guys as hosts xxx

Magaliesburg Reviews
Magaliesberg is great to get close to local Joburg nature, relax and rejuvenate from daily stresses of city life and work.
It's is a beautiful place and a short travelling distance from Johannesburg or Pretoria.
The beauty and tranquillity of the area.

Going to the upside-down house
Travel by day prevents being surprised by potholes, so pack in some patience when heading this way. Magaliesburg's Little Roadhouse had friendly service and fabulous slap chips. The Route 66 Events held at Mt Grace Hotel were most enjoyable. Looking forward to our next visit.
