Had an incredible weekend at Buffalo Hill’s. The mountains and animal life were the absolute highlights of the trip. The farmhouse was clean and comfortable.

This listing is a gem. I booked it for a small family get together. Nicole was extremely helpful and friendly. The house is big and has several areas to relax in. There were plenty of thoughtful flower arrangements from the garden and surrounds. A gentlemen named Bafana came twice a day to clean the kitchen and set up the various fireplaces. He is marvelous. I’m delighted having discovered this place and hope that many more people will have the same experience there.

The house was spacious. We enjoyed the walks. We spent some time at the dam. Was relaxing and peaceful. The road has to be negotiated very carefully if you don't have aS U V.

We had an amazing stay at Buffalo Hills Game Reserve. The fishing was enjoyable, and the scenery was absolutely stunning – we ended up taking tons of photos! The accommodation was spacious and very comfortable. It had a cozy feel thanks to the fireplace, electric blankets, and panel heaters in the bathrooms – perfect for those cooler nights. Plus, there was plenty of firewood provided, which was a big bonus. A special mention to the caretaker, Bafana – he was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, which made the experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind in nature with all the right comforts!
