Hidden gem
We had the cottage closest to the dam. It was absolutely perfect, with the most amazing sunrise view from our bed, which the owner told us about otherwise we would have slept through it.
Such a tranquil setting, wish we had more nights than our 2 nights, so we could have had more chill time at the property. Ideal base to explore attractions in surrounding area.

A basic rustic place to unwind
Cool rural place. Not fancy but comfortable. Rustic. We stayed in the cabin with a word burning stove. Basic amenities but clean. Lovely property set back off the road. Lots of monkeys running around.

A Delightful Hidden Gem
This is a very well kept property and the hosts make you feel extremely welcome. The highlight for me has got to be the traditional German breakfast which is available on request and is the perfect start to any day.

Perfect Stop before Krueger National Park
Zur Alten Mine is a perfect stop from Johannesburg to Krüger. We had a cute little cottage and heating blankets in the bed for the cold winter nights. The owners, a German couple, gave us plenty of tips for sightseeing along Blyth Canyon and restaurants I’m Graskop. The breakfast was outstanding with homemade bread and jam, cold cuts, fruits and eggs to order. Plenty to eat and a great variety!! A safe stay for families and definitely a place to come back!!

Nice stay
Very nice place away from the city but close enough by car. Our host was very nice and gave us goods tips.
The cottage is nice but would benefit from renovation work. However, the fire place is a big plus. There were also electric blankets.
The breakfast was really good with a large part of homemade breads, muffins etc
Notice that you’ll have to pay extra for internet in your room

Wonderful Scenic B&B close to the Blyde Canyon
Amazing place. Seriously happy with our stay.
The owners are delightful the cabins are quaint and homely and comfortable with log fires and homemade biscuits/cookies in the room and blankets.
The bed was the only thing I'd give a 4/5 instead of 5/5 but it was still very comfy.
The breakfast is a continental style breakfast and delicious. I highly recommend it.
Overall, highly highly recommend.

Cute and Charming
Super cute little farm / B&B. We stayed in the "honeymoon cabin" which was very charming. Had a kitchen, large bedroom with a fireplace, porch with BBQ and large modern bathroom. Hosts were very helpful and breakfast was good. We would stay again for sure!
