Romanties
Ansie Roos - 15 May 2013
Die naweek by Phefumula was so romanties en net die regte plek om ons 17e huweliksherdenking te kon vier! Ons sal beslis weer terug gaan! 'n Meer romantiese en privaat plek gaan nie maklik gevind word nie!
A true relaxing break, not far from Pta and Jhb
Derek Robinson, South Africa - 28 January 2013
There are only 2 cottages, but you are not even aware of your neighbours. The cottages are to far apart. The cottages are well appointed with lots of small extras everywhere. We were well received upon arrival. They are good at giving you privacy and make an "appointment" to service the unit, so there are no surprises. There are not much to do directly at Phefumula, except hiking, or mountain biking, but then you must bring your own bike. They can arrange in room spa treatments, but this is by an outside supplier (we did not use this, so cannot comment). There are many other activities in the area, so if you want there's lots to do. We however wanted a peaceful break, and that is what we got. It is recommended for a romantic getaway. The outside shower and private jacuzzi makes it that much more special. It is also very scluded and safety was not a concern. Note that there is no TV and to be honest, I think that would spoil it.
Peace, tranquility and romance

Perfect getaway for couples! Just what we needed ~ a break from busy corporate life, de-stress and rekindle the flame. - Need a romantic getaway - this is it!
Perfect
Hamza Gathoo, South Africa - 25 September 2012
All I can say is it's a perfect getaway for a couple. It was peaceful, quiet and extremely private. That's what impressed me the most. We are looking forward to visiting Phefumula again. We would like to thank all the personnel for such a pleasent stay.
This is what you're looking for!

The perfect getaway if you want complete privacy, romantic accomodation, friendly service and attention to detail. Great food, and only the sounds of nature, with so many optional extras. Thanks Elias, David and Carol!
Fantastic!
Dawn Walker, South Africa - 28 June 2012
Many, many thanks to Dave, Jennie, Carol and also their wonderful chef Elias. The accommodation and food were absolutely first class. We had the most fantastic wedding anniversary, and are so looking forward to going back. Thank you all for making our weekend so great.
I found heaven!
Heather Delaney, South Africa - 10 April 2012
I found Phefumula by chance on the net and was a bit worried initially because it really looked like the perfect honeymoon hideaway in the bush and I was looking for a more relaxing getaway to recharge my batteries and do a bit of walking with a friend. I am so glad I booked what a wonderful place with superior food and excellent service from Dave, Jenni and Elias who ensured that our every whim was catered for. I will most definitely return!
Hidden cottages of Phefumula

This is a beautiful place with breathtaking views of the Magaliesburg Mountain. The atmosphere is peaceful and romantic. We had a relaxing and lovely stay at the cottage. Great hosts and good service. We will be planning another trip there soon.
Wonderful

We did not know what to expect, what a wonderful surprize when we got there. Warm reception, very quiet, we got to relax and not worry about anything. Thank you for a absolutely perfect weekend.
A little "haven"
Lerato Monyake, South Africa - 27 February 2012
Wow, the place is breathtaking. Perfect place to have a romantic getaway. The privacy, serenity, tranquility - and the list just goes on. The hosts and the staff are very welcoming and do their best to make your stay hassle free. The food was great, as well the rooms. Everything was perfect. Well done to the Phefumula team, they will be seeing me again soon.
Phefumula is great
Angie Cronje, South Africa - 28 November 2011
This little gem is the ideal place for a romantic getaway. We fell in love with the place from the moment we stepped inside the cottage. The food was great and the total privacy was an absolute plus point. We advise anybody who wants a romantic weekend away to try Phefumula - you will not be disappointed!

Phefumula Country Retreat
Nestled snugly in the mountains, our luxurious, secluded cottages have magnificent views of the crags - ideal for when you want a breather to reconnect body and soul. Each cottage has an open-plan lounge and dining area with a fireplace, a separate bedroom with a beautiful king-size bed, a well-equipped kitchen, a double bath, a double inside shower, a double outside shower and a secluded spa bath.

Complimentary port is served on chilly winter nights and the outdoor furniture is comfortable and perfect for dinner on the patio. Meals cooked by our resident chef can be arranged on request.

The energetic can walk to the top of the Magaliesberg mountain and then wander along the ridge for several kilometers to enjoy the spectacular views on both sides. Bring your day pack, book a picnic basket with tasty homemade "goodies" and have lunch while enjoying a panorama of the oldest mountain range in the southern hemisphere. Guests can also have fun mountain biking and horse riding along one of the numerous trails.

Phefumula is surrounded on three sides by game farms, the fourth open to the mountain and the Magaliesberg Protected Nature Environment. There are a number of animals that may be seen on walks or rides. Be sure to bring your camera to capture the spectacular scenery.
