Come experience the wonder of multi-coloured indigenous Nguni Cattle and Pedi sheep, sharing grassing with Haartbees, Eland, Gemsbok, Nyala, Zebra, Blesbok and graceful Giraffe as they did olden times.

Enjoying a evening braai where the back-round music is the sounds of the bush and the calls of the Jackals or for the more active, we offer horse trails, hikes and climbs in the mountains, horse and cart rides, with nemours internal cycle trails.

Beautifully appointed Self-catering Cottages and studios accommodating from two to four people comfortably, handling a total of 12 people sharing. Individually furnished and each cottage being uniquely designed with Victorian slipper baths and double showers, they all have fully equipped kitchens, as well as own braai areas. Shared pool area. We look forward to the pleasure of welcoming you.

Great weekend
Gerrith Goodgall, South Africa
04 January 2012
This is a great facility if you want to get away from the busy city life. With a refreshing atmosphere, the lodge has everything that one requires; best of all was the extremely friendly host, Chantal. We have been to a few other places but have never felt so welcomed. We enjoyed our weekend at Thaba Manzi Ranch. Thank you Chantal.

Peace and quiet. Our doggies loved it.
Sanity break
Salomien Marsden, South Africa
18 November 2011
This is a wonderful setting for a midweek sanity break. Absolutely nobody else was there, not even a visible reception office. We adored the view of the Magaliesberg and watching the routine animal herding. It's not a place for children, but definitely a tranquil retreat for two oldies.
Great getaway from city life
Thato Mahlaba, South Africa
14 November 2011
We had a great stay at the ranch. It wasn't what we were expecting but better than we expected. We are looking forward to our next stay here. A great escape from city life. Chantal is a great hostess. Very patient and accommodating to her guests.
Very good
