I love getting away for a short break. Magaliesburg is fantastic as it is a short drive from JHB and has many great B and B's and self catering places available for people to stay overnight. Hiking, fishing, or just chilling out and taking in the scenery are amongst the things you can do in the area.

We didnt really do anything over the holiday period. But it is beautiful.

Fantastic accomodation with great friendly service - would recomend to friends and Family

From Hot Air Ballooning at Harrops (My Bucket List) to home made cheese at Van Gaalens to amazing food and hospitality at the Ou Pastorie to the fantasia at The Goblin restaurant , I had an amazing weekend for my 50th birthday . Wonderful !!

I just love the Magaliesburg area. Going again next week to Jameson Cottages in Magalisburg. What so wonderful about booking via Safari is that you get immediate response. I have never came across a agent like Safari. Now.Com. After I did my payment, I immediately received my booking confirmation and a call from the Manager of Jameson... Wow!!!!! That is what I call excellent service You guys are the best

I have spent my teen years in the Magaliesburg area and loved every single moment. The Magalies mountain is my favourite feature! It is so majestic and free! Every person should have the oppertunity to experience this unforgettable experience. Mirandie Haywood

I have visited Magaliesburg a number o times and I absolutely loveth area. It connects m to nature and I always feel refreshed, satisfied and inspired by its beauty and tranquility.

Magaliesburg, Magaliesburg, we love you so much. Your beauty is in your own class. How many time's have i cycled your roads. How many time's have i enjoyed your breath taking beauty. You don't get the recognition you deserve. You must be protected at all cost's. I've visited you so many times and will never stop to dwell your grounds.

We went to stay at Matlapa Lodge in Magaliesburg for a weekend getaway. It was absolutely outstanding. Not were we only very impressed with the venue, but the whole of Magaliesburg in general is breath taking. This is definately an area that needs to be looked after and protected, to be kept natural and make sure the developers stay away. This will always be a holiday destination for me and my family.

I will revisit again. I can't get enough of it.

I think Magaliesburg is stunning. peaceful and relaxing. and the people were very polite and helpful. I will most certenally come back for another get away.

The Magliesburg Mountain range offer a wide variety of accommodation to choose from. Whether you interested in nature walks, mountaineering, points of historical interest, Magliesburg can offer all of these and more. The Mount Grace resort and spa offers a more luxurious get away. The old hotel opposite the railway station in Maglies Town offers a lovely Sunday calvery. Regardless of your holiday needs, Magliesburg Mountain Range is able to satisfy all. Charlie Moneron from Pretoria

Tired and in need of peace inside and out - try Magaliesburg!! It's near enough if you MUST go to the city and it's far enough to be quiet and in peace with yourself and nature. If your need is people, they're there - friendly, kind and helpful. If you need to be on your own - they are not in your way and respect your privacy at all times. Nature spoils you with the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets, mountains, valleys -whatever you need...go to Magalies!! that's the place to be.

This is a place worth going to. Great for Golfers, great for kids a real family place! Definitely going back with the whole family!

Just a stones throw away from the hussle and bussle of JHB! Great place to go and relax with beautiful views and scenery. A definite must!

A Picturesque town that makes me experience the world within one afternoon. From European restaurants to African art, I have the whole world just an hour away from home. What more do you want?

I really enjoyed my stay at Magalies, it was so relaxed and quiet, i got intouch with nature and to just get away fromm all the noise in the city to have a piece of mind and to think. My partner also enjoyed it so it was definately a success! looking forward to more experiences at Magalies.

A place to really unwind and the perfect antidote for anyone who is stressed.Magaliesburg offers a diversity not matched by many other places in South Africa.Go alone or go as a family and you will not be disappointed

Magalieseburg is a a wonder to behold. In our world of bustle and fast pace living it is a oasis for the soul! From the mountains to the valleys to the rivers and the streams its is simply breathtaking. Stooped in History of our forefathers, the Cradle of Mankind, you can almost hear the echo of those who came before us. Magaliesburg pulses with a heartbeat that is almost tangible! Defininetly an experience to be revisited agian and again!

Magaliesburg is definitely a diamond in the rough,its a town filled with history and beauty ,but what makes it so special is the people that live there,they all have there own interesting story to tell ,they are really down to earth people willing to go the extra mile while staying in their tranquil,stress free enviroment.Its a perfect place for a romantic getaway.

If you want some time out, peace and quietness, with your partner or family, then Magalies is the place for you. Then again if you want a funfilled moment with friends, for some games/lots of activities and some adventure, Magalies is the place for you. I was in Magalies for a full week this April with my partner, his brother and wife, and we had the time of our lives, with that said I have managed to score another weekend out in Magalies this September still with 15 friends....I must say we are looking forward to it, so they can tell more and more people that Magalies is just thee perfect place..And when you love taking pictures like I do, make sure you bring your camera battery charger and 8GB or more memory card..cause you will just be clicking away..LOL! Awesomeness!!

If you are looking for a tranquile and peacefull time away, but not toooooo far from people and civilization then Megaliesburg is the place too bee. There is so much to see,and i have had wonderful and peaseful times away with my family there. don't think about it, just do it.

Magalies is just gorgeous! With green hills, birds and beautiful scenery everywhere you look, it is the ideal getaway for the city dweller. If the clean mountain air and clean streams don't take your breath away, the activities such as the canopy tours definitely will. With interesting little restaurants and historical sites all around, you are sure to experience osmething else. I would recommend Magalies to anyone in need of a well deserved break! ~Michelle Smit~

We get so caught up with work and other things in forget what mother nature has for us, the peace, the serenity and the beauty. I love Magalies because it caters for all that and most importantly with your inner selves and its a place to be for one to endure real Quality time;one leaves the environment feeling revived and refreshed. Anna Rauleka- Pretoria

If you're looking for a quiet, romantic getaway, or an affordable break with the family, Magaliesburg is your place. Tranquil picnic spots, adventurous hiking trails, and rock pools to swim in are just a few of many activities to do. And for those who wish to make it more than a memorable day trip, there're many camp sites and chalets that populate the area. It's always my go-to place that caters with whatever my reason to break away from the fast and active city life.

I am a hardcore Jozi boy and magaliesburg is the perfect hide out when you need a breathe of fresh air. when ever i think i get tired of the fast pace life style i like to kick it in the bushes with people in Magalies, at least twice a year.

As a joburger, its quite easy to think that there's very little or no splendid sites close to the city that one can experience. We've all heard about the Magaliesburg, but I doubt that any one has bothered to see it for themselves. I am one those Joburgers that took the time to experience the Magaliesburg and I must say that it was a breathtaking experience, that revitalizes the body and mind. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone as a short getaway from the city

My partner and I often go to Magaliesberg for a little 'magic'. The place (whether it's a quaint breakfast somewhere, hiking in the mountains or staying at one of the guest houses) invokes a sense of peace and calm. It allows us to come back to Jozi ready to embrace the pace and challenge. See you in a few weeks! Love Jaques and Lisa - Johannesburg

The views in Magaliesburg are just amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Nature when we went there. We would love to return there, and explore the wonders of nature yet again!

I just love Magalies, it's so peaceful, and it makes one feel "one with Nature" . Definitely a place to go back to, very soon.

There is something for every one, we didn't do much this weekend, but as we drove to the Hartbeespoort "vlooimark" we see all the places on the brochure and make notes of it all.

I just love Magaliesburg and surroundings. It is a magic place.

Love the view and the nature and the peaceful feeling.

Every tome we visit Magaliesburg, we reveal something nice. Doesn't matter where you go, people are friendly.

Magaliesburg has hidden surprises around every corner if you feel that you need a break from the hectic city Magaliesburg is not to far for a country break away. If you would just like to relax or crave some adventure you can.

Magaliesburg is a Must! An ideal country getaway, for adventurous outdoor activites and an assortment of well appointed Accommodation options.

Amazing. So much to see and do.

Very relaxing stay with friendly people.

Magalies is peaceful and serene. A perfect weekend away from the city bustle.

Serene and relaxing. The ideal place to 'de-stress'.

You don't have to drive to the Limpopo to experience a beautiful, weekend away. It's right at your doorstep (when living in JHB or PTA). With untouched nature, beautiful views and as much activities as you can handle, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a weekend away.

The area has all kinds of getaways to explore. It is scenic and beautiful.

A beautiful part of the country.

The area is good if you want to retreat from normal life, but it must be the epitome of loneliness to live there.

What a beautiful part of our country, so close to the city.

Magaliesburg looked rundown, dirty and neglected. I was shocked to find it in that state as I travelled regularly to the Pilansberg when I lived in Gauteng 15 years ago and liked the neat little town.

The weather and scenery were fantastic. Good place for relaxing.

Most laid back area and just 60 km from Johannesburg with a feeling that you are in another place hundreds of kilometers away!

Magaliesburg has wonderful views and is located close enough to Johannesburg but still far enough away to forget your stress.

Magaliesburg is the original sleepy village but offers a great base from which to enjoy a huge variety of outdoor, historical and cultural activities. There are lots of places to stay for every budget and the climate is great all year round, apart from the cold winter nights and dawns.

Lots of activities to do. We have been around Magaliesburg several times now as there is so much to see and do.

It is always a pleasure driving through or visiting Magaliesberg. There is so much to see and do.

Not much to do for those not interested in adventure, hot air ballooning or game reserves, but for people trying to escape the city for the weekend, it's the perfect retreat. A friendly small town with a wide range of resorts and lodges for all budgets.

Close to home with lots of variety and accommodation at reasonable rates.

We have always loved going out to Magaliesburg to escape the cramped city lifestyle. The wide open spaces are very relaxing and the surrounding area is beautiful.
