Reviews
It was awesome 👌 we enjoyed our stay there.
It was amazing stay
We had a great time at Mokoya Lodge with my cousin, it's a very peaceful environment. We enjoyed taking nature walks and visiting the riverside.There's is not much to do within the lodge so it's mostly for relaxing but there's lots to do around the area. The hospitality was outstanding and the food at the restaurant was scrumptious. The room was very clean. What I can fault is the lack of carports and our shower was very slow to drain leaving the shower tray dirty. I would be nice to have a bar fridge with water within the rooms. Other than that It is a good place to be.
Used my afristay travel Voucher .. and the booking went so perfect and fast.
The Mokoya lodge kept sending emails regarding my stay and the important information about my stay which made my life easier … the place is so quiet and peaceful…. The staff was welcoming and the freedom to do anything was everything 😍… the only thing I’d suggest they do is if they could at least hire bicycles to some who don’t bring them and have available transport to take people to the games around the area …
Oher than that … my partner and I had fun!!!
Great hospitality...tranquility of a lifetime...definitely enjoyed some time out of the noisy and busy world.
Great hospitality!
Mokoya Lodge is a gem away from the buzz of Pretoria and Johannesburg. It's bush veld ambiance contributes to the calm and relaxing experience whilst the food in the Thyme Restaurant is immaculate. The hosts are most helpful, friendly and accommodating. The buildings, garden and swimming pool are well kept and lying down underneath the willow trees on the riverbank was priceless.
Great place for relaxing and peace of mind, and the employees are fantastic my new favorite place for peace and tranquility
Our stay at Mokoya Lodge was fantastic we really had a good time. We wouldn’t mind to come back again.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Mokoya Lodge. Loved the peaceful and tranquil environment it offered. It was the best place to rejuvenate and reconnect. Just what the Doctor prescribed 👌👌We would definitely be visiting the Lodge again. The food from the restaurant was amazing, the rooms where forever clean. The hospitality from Hayley and team was welcoming. We left with high praises for Washington who was who was always on point and detailed. This is one private gem 💎 We will be escaping too when we feel like running away from the noisy city life. Thank you for the 5 Star ⭐️ Service

Magaliesburg Reviews
Magaliesberg is great to get close to local Joburg nature, relax and rejuvenate from daily stresses of city life and work.
It's is a beautiful place and a short travelling distance from Johannesburg or Pretoria.
The beauty and tranquillity of the area.
scenery peaceful quiet time to get away especially if you a couple n need a break from the hasel and busel
Mountains and Hikes are spectacular
Close, with quiet places to stay as well as the basic ammenities.
Beautiful magical, with so much to do.
Going to the upside-down house
Travel by day prevents being surprised by potholes, so pack in some patience when heading this way. Magaliesburg's Little Roadhouse had friendly service and fabulous slap chips. The Route 66 Events held at Mt Grace Hotel were most enjoyable. Looking forward to our next visit.
