Thabametsi Farm

 
 

Description

Thabametsi Farm is a tranquil rustic self-catering getaway in the heart of scenic Magaliesburg. Situated on a 132 Ha farm, Thabametsi is nestled between two koppies overlooking the valley to the Witwatersrand Mountains. This malaria-free location assures guests of beautiful sunsets and great hospitality. The diverse ecosystem encourages a wide range of bird life, particularly on the dam. Smaller animals like bush buck, scrub hares, mongoose and squirrels have made Thabametsi their home.

Activities include cycling, swimming, bird-watching, various ball games and nature walks. Canoeing and fishing in the dam or mountain biking are some of the attractions for the more active. Thabametsi Farm offers family orientated accommodation therefore children are welcome. Ducks, chickens and turkeys give the children a sense of real farm life. A jungle gym, pony rides and even a ride on a tractor are available for the children.

Indoor fireplaces and heaters cater for cosy winter nights whilst summer evenings are braai-time in the lovely bomas under the stars. Thabametsi is an ideal venue for families, photographers, artists, environmentalists and small tour groups. There is also under cover parking.

We provide soap, toilet paper, bedding, towels, not swimming, crockery and cutlery, cooking utensils, toaster and kettle, a fridge and stove for your use, as well as cots and a high chair. Please bring your own fishing rods. The accommodation available consists of two bungalows, of three double rooms each plus a living room/kitchen. The master bedroom is en-suite.

Thank you for a lovely long weekend at the Farm. It was an enjoyable, relaxing time and I will definitely visit you again.
Easter 2012 Owl Cottage
Bardo Muller, South Africa
10 April 2012
What a great weekend! An ideal place to get away from the rush and just relax and spend some quality time with a loved one. It is very private and luxurious. Friendly staff willing to help and friendly reception. Thank you again for a brilliant stay. We will definitely go again!
True farm experience with small children
Scarlett Deurinck, South Africa
26 March 2012
We enjoyed our stay at Thabametsi! Perfect farm experience for little kids. Our boys (3,5 years and 10 months) loved the tractor ride, pony ride, feeding the animals, the jungle gym, the swings, the game room and even the huge dogs. But what kid wouldn't? Judy, Keith and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Lavender cottage has 2 rooms so you don't have to go to bed at the same time as your kids. Even I enjoyed it and I am not a farm person at all. We will definitely come back!

Thank you Keith and Judy, for all your hospitality. We had a lovely peaceful experience. Our grandson had a wonderful time feeding the animals, and riding the tractor and pony. The accommodation was superb and we will definitely be back maybe at Easter, but definitely over the holiday period at the end of the year. Thank you again.
Wow!
