We had a fantastic stay at Jembisa River cottage! As the name states, our cottage was right on the Palala River, assuring you of excellent river views. We saw ample of game, including two rhinos, a crocodile, kudus, impalas etc. Can't wait to show the family all the great pictures we took. Thank you Jane, Megan and Collin for an unforgettable weekend.

We had a lovely time at Jembisa River Cottage. It was peaceful and private. We enjoyed the bush trails and saw a lot of wild life. It was the perfect getaway from the city life - Just what we needed.

Whilst we have enjoyed the setting on the bank of the river as well as the peace and tranquility, we were disappointed with the filthy furniture which was totally unacceptable as well as the fact that the cottage was crawling with ants. The above factors spoiled our stay at the cottage hence the reason for leaving three days earlier. We also had extreme difficulty in negotiating the roads on the farm, and resulted in very little game viewing.

For peace and tranquility, this is the spot to get away from it all! Ideal for a couple who need some real timeout together. No tv, no radio - absolutely splendid!

This was our best time ever - just what we needed. I Googled a place in the bushveld, and this came up! We will be back for sure. Everything was just perfect - the ambiance, nature, quaint little cottage, peace and quiet, game, bird life and running water. And the fact that we could take our three Yorkies with was fantastic! They also enjoyed their time. Thank you.
