- Ernst Grunow (8/5): - Motubane Guest House offers a truly wonderful off-the-grid experience. The hosts are warm, welcoming, and clearly take pride in creating a special stay for their guests. The accommodation units are lovely, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed with great attention to detail. Surrounded by wide open veld with beautiful views, it is the perfect place to relax and reconnect with nature. Listening to the distant cries of jackals at night adds to the unique charm of the experience. A peaceful, memorable stay and one I would gladly recommend! All was good
- Lloyd Waldeck (10/5): -
- Mabuza (10/5): Loved it! - Really enjoyed the stay and the remote area.
- Zakhele (10/5): -
- Chantelle (10/5): Off to the mountains i go, to lose my mind and find my soul - Honestly i cant complain about anything. I needed a break from the noise of the city and that's exactly what i got. Peace and quite. That i didn't book a longer stay
- Elizabeth (10/5): Amazing & Peaceful - What an incredible and restful stay. Gert & Drienie are amazing hosts. They really know how to welcome their guests and give them their privacy. This was our second time visiting and we already, can't wait to come back. The day-bed on the rooftop is also amazing for a napđ
and the walk in the morning was perfectâ€â€â€â€
- Arlin (10/5): Awesome view, extremely clean and beautifully decorated. Great hosts. Not far from Joburg. - The most serene accommodation we've stayed in, in a while. The hosts are very welcoming. Wood braai at the cottage. Gas braai suffices but wood fire would seal the perfection of the place.
- EmgeeTaute (10/5): - Motubane Guest Farm was an exceptional escape and one of those rare places that gets everything right: peaceful surroundings, beautiful natural scenery, comfortable and well-prepared accommodation, and an atmosphere that immediately makes you feel relaxed and welcome. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that care had gone into creating a space that is both charming and restful, with excellent facilities and the perfect balance between rustic farm character and genuine comfort. It was the ideal setting to unwind, enjoy good company, and reconnect with nature, and the overall experience was memorable for all the right reasons. I would highly recommend Motubane Guest Farm to anyone looking for a tranquil, well-managed, and truly enjoyable getaway.
- Martin (10/5): SpektakulĂ€r schön und lohnenswert ein paar Tage zu blieben - Wir hatten eine unvergessliche Zeit mit Drienie und Gert. Zwei Menschen die uns herzlich empfangen haben und mit unfassbar viel Liebe und Detail Arbeit die Farm zu einem kleinen Paradies gemacht haben. Fur extreme Sicherheit ist durch ein Zaun gesorgt, so dass man sich sehr sicher fĂŒhlt. Die Farm hat unvergleichliche SonnenuntergĂ€nge und weite zu biete, die man auch auf oberen Terrasse bestaunen kann. Die Container sind stylisch, modern aber mit dem gewissen etwas. Drienie zaubert BlĂŒten in die Zimmer als Willkommens GruĂ und man findet viele kleine Details. Es gibt einen kleinen sit-in Pool (zur Erfrischung) und eine selbstgebaute Boma fĂŒr einen Grill Abend. Wir wĂ€ren gerne lĂ€nger geblieben und hoffen wir sehen Gert und Drienie irgendwann wieder, weil es echte Herzensmenschen sind und viel zu erzĂ€hlen haben. Ein Dreamteam welches hier im cradle of Human Kind einen WohlfĂŒhlort erschaffen haben. Es gibt kaum internetverbindung und man sollte verstehen, dass man abgeschieden ist; wer das will, sollte kommen :) - Tipp: Man kann eine Ballon Fahrt Safari in der NĂ€he machen und das verbinden mit der Unterkunft. Das war ein zusĂ€tzliches Highlight
- Martin (10/5): Sehr zu empfehlen! - Die Gastgeber wohnen vor Ort und sind super herzlich und gastfreundlich. Die Farm ist zudem sehr sicher.
- Francois (10/5): - Attention to detail in decoration was exeptional for the off the grid weekend getaway.
- Gideon Scheepers (10/5): - Ambience... tranquil
Everything you need.
I cooked up a storm in both the kitchen and the barbecue in the courtyard! Calming water feature and fruit trees in courtyard create an Oasis in this part of the Namib desert!
- Lesedi (10/5): -
- Fanus (10/5): Very peaceful, great stay. - The cleanliness and the quiet. Nothing

- NL (10/5): - The property and staff - Phenomenal! Nothing
- Thembisa (8/5): - The serenity and quietness was excelleng for debriefing The 5km gravel, it was communicated and I took it lightly, with a hatchback it was difficult to drive on with protruding rocks and some deep potholes.

- Henry (10/5): Will definitely visit again, the wifi was a problem and the road needs attention. - Loved the place with a wonderful view. We went away but also had to work .... no internet and 5G could not connect but managed with great difficulty
The roads to the destination was a bit of a problem specially with all the rain we have had. Would have never been able to reach the destination with a Mercedes or low car.
- Queenette01 (10/5): - Absolutely beautiful
- Tisetso (10/5): Great tranquil place! - The place was great. Very quite and enjoyable. The host was awesome! Maybe the splash pool could be able to be heated in cloudy weather
- Joanne (10/5): Place of Peace - Tranquility.the instant release of stress upon arrival is owing to the peaceful environment.the hike to the picnic spot was the best None

- Pieter (10/5): -
- Radika (10/5): Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, our stay was peaceful and rejuvenating, made even more special by our wonderful - Motubane Guest Farm is a secluded retreat which offers complete peace and tranquility â far removed from the noise and rush of everyday life. Surrounded by nature, itâs a place where time slows down, allowing you to unwind, reconnect with yourself, and savour the quiet beauty of your surroundings. The calm atmosphere, fresh air, and stillness create the perfect escape for rest, reflection, and rejuvenation.
The hosts Drienie and Gert are incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality added a personal touch that made our stay even more special. Absolutely nothing - I didnât want to leave!
- Ngwenyama (8/5): - The place is very well located on the mountain top exceptional views and very private The 5km gravel road is bed for small cars I wish I knew before hand
- Takudzwa (9/5): -
- Mohale (10/5): Best weekend stay - I liked everything about the place

I want to go back again đ« đ
- Steve Moolman (10/5): - Lovely little gem hidden from people
- Zandré (10/5): -
- Crouse (10/5): Quiet bush breakaway, close to the city. - Great place, with beautiful units that give a cosy, bush feeling. Its very quiet and peaceful, with great views all round. Hosts were awesome and very friendly. Pool was a bit cold, but would be perfect on a hot summera day. Everything else was great. Only had cellphone signal on the upper deck, but this was actually great not having to check your phone every 5 minutes.
- Edwin (10/5): -
- Ashley Appanah (10/5): - Awesome experience, the owners were very welcoming and assisted us when we needed assistance, great get away for friends or a couple. The dirt road leading to the farm was quite a rough ride, but we used a car, sure there would be no problem with a SUV
- Anita Hollis (10/5): - Absolutely stunning accomodation - with immaculate detail. Driene and Gert are wonderful hosts and are very proud of what they have built! Would highly recommend this place.
- Mekgwe-thato (9/5): - The peace of mind and quietness None

- Maasberg (10/5): - Nothing
- Thathane (10/5): I literally teared up when it was time to leave. So much peace, quiet, beauty... a hidden gem!!! - EVERYTHING!!!
I'm struggling to put it into words. Just go and thank me later. You will NOT regret booking a few nights here...
Thank you Gert & Drienie for sharing this space with us. NOTHING!!!
- KingZee27 (10/5): -
- Nhlanhla (9/5): -
- Emma (9/5): Peaceful weekend in a cozy cottage - Motubane was everything and more for a perfect getaway! Nestled in a peaceful place, the cottages were so lovely, comfortable and sweet. Every detail was attended to! As a bonus, Gert and Drienie were lovely: friendly, helpful and welcoming! Our only challenge was the inconsistency of the hot water.
- John (9/5): Superb -
- Sipho (10/5): Exceptional - Peace and quietness. None
- Swart (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kudakwashe (10/5): This place calls you to be in its presence. The moment you arrive it whispers "PLEASE BE AT PEACE". - It is a self catering farmstay. The location is easier to find. Gert and Driene are so welcoming and loving, they go beyond their way to make sure you enjoy their beautiful property. Who ever put together the design of the house is a perfectionist because every piece compliment each other. Don't make a mistake of booking one night but if you do! Have the decency of arriving check in time. There is a variety of animals you will see. If you are a bird lover please pack your binoculars, you will thank me later. I yen to be a poet, i would describe this place with grace. After visiting Motubane, i believe some places God lives there in silence. The fact that we didn't have enough time to enjoy this beautiful place.The pictures on the website don't do justice to this place. If you have one of those low luxuries cars, be aware, there is a gravel road for 5km to reach the farm stand. It will definitely not be a pleasant drive.
- Wendy (10/5): Can definitely recommend Motubane Guest Farm!! - Motubane Guest Farm has everything one could possibly need. Great location if you want to get away from the city and donât want to travel too far. Extremely peaceful with beautiful views, open plan living room/kitchenette and bedroom with extremely comfortable bed. Gert & Drienie were very friendly and welcoming and the service was excellent. The rooms are beautifully decorated, extremely clean and neat. Although it was too cold outside to use the splash pool, it surely looked inviting. We could relax and enjoy the view and the stars in the evening from the deck. Pity we only stayed there for one night. There was nothing we didn't like about the accommodation.
- Johanna (10/5): The absolute perfect place for a breakaway. - It was the perfect breakaway imaginable. We loved it. The hosts were super friendly and professional.
Drienie blended the decor between eclectic, vintage and modern whilst keeping comfort spectacularly. Everything you can think of was catered for.
It is just amazing what she and Gert did with a mere container set-up.
We will definitely return in the summer to take advantage of the splash pool at the room. And we will stay a weekend instead of just one night.
There is so much to do and see in the area. It is almost not possible to think that the city is just behind the mountain. Please add more two-point plugs to the outlets. We had to unplug the bedside lamps to charge our phones. And at plug at the vanity.
As a suggestion, please add to the welcome message that the gate is on manual and we can enter and report to the office for check-in.
Perhaps also mention that hiking on the neighbour's farm is possible with arrangement?
- Willie (10/5): This was a perfect 28th honeymoon retreat - Lovely private and romantic location. It was the welcome breakaway without easy access to social media. I have no complaints.
- Masindi (10/5): Simply breathtaking - The bedroom, the bathtub, and the small kitchenette stunningly beautiful. Not to forget the update deck where the view is breathtaking (the sunrise and the sunset) not forgetting the private outdoor swimming pool. None

The attention to detail and convenience of our stay was phenomenal. 7 Stars for natural beauty, decor and presentation. Everything to make your stay pleasant was thought of when this establishment was built. Bedding was of the highest quality, crisp, clean and ice white, delicious and delightful. Flowers and small plants from their own garden was strategically placed in our villa, truly exceptional thoughtfulness.

The lovely private pool at the unit is so welcoming with the hot weather. The pool is immaculately clean. The Hosts Drienie and Gert welcomed us at the gate when we arrived and presented us with ice cold juice and cool face cloths to refresh.
Drienie has a stunning quaint little boutique shop on the premises where she sells very affordable gifts, jewellery, bags and much more.
Sunsets and Sunrises are absolutely beautiful. We will always stay at Motubane whenever we need to book accomodation in Gauteng if we pass through. I rate this my favourite accomodation so far.
