Guest Reviews
- Miriam (10/5): Perfection - We loved everything about this amazing place and will come back soon.
- Nuno (10/5): Super!!! - Beautifully decorated and very well located. Also the welcoming service. Always happy to be back.
- Phumzile (10/5): -
- Reagan (10/5): We had such a great time. It was wonderful to learn the history of the Hall family as well. - We had the most delicious three course meal on one of our nights. Breakfast was always delicious, healthy and fresh. We loved the healthy chickens of the home, especially Speckles.
- Dean (10/5): - Beautiful setting and home. The room was spacious and very comfortable. Lucky for us we had the whole home for a night and felt really spoilt. Breakfast was amazing. Staff and the owners were really friendly and made us feel really welcomed. We will be back that's for sure.
- Ruth (10/5): - Sitio limpo silencioso comida excelente Staff simpatico Gostei de tudo
- Cornelis (8/5): Good for a short peacefull stay - Beautiful old building, friendly staff, very good food, peaceful Not really suitable for children, no lunch possibility, you can hear the other rooms a bit.
- Neria (9/5): Charming, stylish farmhouse-style property, but somewhat noisy and inconsistent service when busier. - Lovely property in a luxurious farmhouse style, very tastefully decorated. However, it is quite noisy at times (in the morning you can hear kitchen staff or other guests). On our first evening (when we were the only guests), the attention and service were excellent; on the second evening, with more guests, we felt somewhat overlooked.
- AUGUSTA (9/5): Excellent - Cleaning
- McLauchlan (10/5): - Everything!
- Lephoi (10/5): Peaceful, beautiful space in the lowveld - Very chilled and homely but such attention to detail. The staff are amazing!
- Heinz (8/5): - Lage, Hilfsbereitschaft des Besitzers Wir haben das Zimmer Nummer 3 reserviert und bezahlt. Wir waren bereits 2 mal in diesem Zimmer mit direktem Gartenzugang. Es wurde auch diesmal schriftlich zugesichert. Einquartiert wurden wir aber im Zimmer Nummer 1. Wir erwarten, dass wir das reservierte Zimmer auch bekommen. Schade, hat den bisher guten Eindruck schon bei unserer Ankunft geschmälert.
- Dawie (10/5): Lowveld excellence - Such a beautiful location, well appointed spotless room. Stunning interior decor and stacks of history. Well worth the visit, will definitely be going back.
- Heinz (8/5): - Frühstück, Lage, Hilfe bei Problemen das reservierte und schriftlich bestätigte Zimmer war nicht verfügbar, wurde anderweitig belegt, kein direkter Zugang zum Garten

- Penny (10/5): simply fa-bu-lous! Highly recommended! - What a wonderful romantic breakaway! Thank you to the entire team @ Torburnlea for "ticking all the boxes" to ensure we could switch off and enjoy our time alone! The rain just added that extra touch of solitude which we so badly needed! Fabulous breakfasts and dinners (made extra special for me being a vegetarian), a super wine selection and a much-needed therapeutic massage was all arranged by Kim and Andrew. Thank you for a "forever memory" stay! Absolutely nothing to complain about!
- Morais (9/5): - Beautiful, romantic and comfy… Was perfect retreat for me and my husband to rewind…
- Moises (9/5): Optima - Tudo como sempre Falta de água … responsabilidade do município
- Morais (9/5): Perfect for a couple retreat and recharging. - Cozy concept.
- Abilio (10/5): Welcoming staff and owner. Fantastic food…Definitely recommend. - Very neat, clean and quiet n/a
- Astrid (10/5): Unglaublich gut geführte Unterkunft, es war außergewöhnlich, wir kommen wieder. - Sowohl das Frühstück als auch das Dinner waren großartig. Ein echter Geheimtipp.
- margi (10/5): -
- Jenny (10/5): -
- Portwig (10/5): Oh so lovely - We are regular visitors, love the beautiful decor, attention to detail and the staff are fantastic.
- Valérie (10/5): Fantastic luxury bed and breakfast stopover en route to Kruger! - Beautiful house, well decorated, with a lot of history, owned by Andrew and Kim, 4th generation descendants of Grace and HL Hall. Great welcome, outstanding breakfast, super dinner, simple but natural and fresh food super well cooked, and great value for money! Stanford is a gem and has a few specialties (lime pie, cookies, homemade granola and muesli). Everybody in the house is highly helpful and provides great service with a smile. A fantastic stop between Jo’burg and Kruger park! Nothing. Everything is well thought of and organized…
- Sheila (10/5): -
- Desyree (9/5): Heartfelt Hospitality - This is NOT a generic hotel with no character or personality. I love everything about staying at Torburnlea Homestead. This is our second time staying here. It's beautiful, quiet, clean, safe, and conveniently located near everything. You can easily book any trip to a wide variety of nature reserves in the Greater Kruger. The attention to detail in every room is amazing. We have stayed in 4 of the 7 rooms. Stanford is an excellent chef. Their breakfast is epic. Take your time and make sure you are hungry because you are spoiled for choice. Dinner was amazing. I am a vegetarian, and they accommodated me with no problems at all. No meal was boring. Petunia is always helpful and friendly. She went out of her way to accommodate my 80-year old mother and made a point of seeing her off when we left. Andrew and Kim are very welcoming and always check that you are happy and comfortable. The property has such a rich history, and there are so many stories about the home. The best way to describe our stay was. It feels like you are welcomed back to a family member or friend's home...but with an extra touch of luxury, and pampering and kindness...mixed in with an easy-going peacefulness. You can do nothing else but relax. However, for me, the heart and soul is an will always be Lucy, along with Oliver, and Magie. They just make you smile no matter what.
- Sheila (10/5): Staying at Torburnlea is an exepcional experience, I loved everything, the rooms are so clean and comfortable, staff ver - The room was extremely clean and comfortable. The staff provided outstanding service. It’s a great experience and I will definitely visit more often their accommodation. Everything was perfect.
- Ms Bonisiwe (10/5): -
- Bachiro (9/5): I would return without hesitation. Strongly recommended. - There are places that embrace you the moment you arrive, and this is one of them. The atmosphere radiates a rare sense of peace, the kind that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and simply be. The surrounding greenery makes it impossible not to want to read a good book, meditate or quietly enjoy the landscape. The rooms are beautifully equipped, warm and comfortable, with thoughtful details that make you feel truly at home. The bathtub experience, enhanced with the delightful bath salts, is something I highly recommend, a small luxury that elevates the entire stay. The “open bar” concept was a brilliant idea: simple, honest and sophisticated at the same time. The only point that deserves reconsideration is the parking area, marked as “at your own risk”. For guests travelling with private vehicles, this creates unnecessary insecurity. Perhaps it would be possible to offer: Minimal monitoring or night patrol, CCTV cameras covering the parking area, Or simply clearer communication to reassure guests about the safety of the premises. Small adjustments that would increase confidence and further enhance the guest experience
- Russell James (10/5): What a gem - Clean, huge rooms, friendly staff, great breakfast.

The atmosphere offers a true sense of tranquility, surrounded by nature and reminiscent of the countryside. The food was of outstanding quality, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and professional. In addition, the property felt very safe and secure at all times.
- Nontobeko (10/5): Torburnlea is special, the staff is welcoming, helpful abs friendly. The owners are on hand for a chat, making your stay - The attention to detail and home feel. I thought there was more property around, but it’s been built up. However, you can still walk around the estate surrounding Torburnlea.

- Sonya (10/5): Exceptional - A stunning high end guest house with the most beautiful furnishings. Every little detail in this place is a treat. The rooms are very welcoming with so much detail and luxury, from beautiful soaps to coffee and rusks - a complete treat. I was only able to have breakfast and may I say that it was out of this world. Beautifully presented and excellent service. I would definitely stay again if I had the opportunity.
