Vacation rentals in Waterberg Biosphere

Alex's spot was absolutely wonderful and exactly what we were hoping for. The home had everything we needed and was nestled in the middle of a beautiful nature reserve. The setting was wonderful as we got to enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the patio and had some wonderful stargazing at night time. Alex and Sean were wonderful hosts and went over and above to make us feel at home. The check in was flexible and getting to the home was well explained although you will need a 4x4 High Clearance Vehicle to get there, It is all part of the adventure - Sean even helped me with a suspension issue i had on my car in his Workshop. We will certainly be back to this tranquil spot as we look forward to exploring more of Syringa Sands.

Peaceful and beautiful!

This was the most INCREDIBLE place! I can highly recommend it to anyone who wants a slice of heaven just 3 hours out of Joburg! You are totally immersed in nature and the bush - the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need, and there are braai facilities. I will definitely be back! One thing is the road from the farm gate is quite long, which is amazing because it means once you are in you feel you are totally in the bush - however, the road is not great. I have a raised SUV, which was fine, but you have to drive slowly. Definitely not suitable for a small car.

An absolutely fantastic getaway! The Bungalow exceeded all expectations and provided the perfect escape from the city. The natural hot spring was undoubtedly the highlight—soaking in the 50°C mineral-rich water under the stars was an unforgettable experience. The property is beautifully secluded, offering complete privacy with stunning riverfront views, mountain scenery, and an abundance of birdlife. It’s the ideal place to relax, disconnect, and enjoy nature at its finest. The bungalow itself has a unique rustic Mediterranean-African charm, blending effortlessly with the natural surroundings. The braai and pizza oven were great additions, making outdoor cooking a pleasure. We also appreciated the fast WiFi, which worked even when there were temporary power trips (to clarify—there was no load shedding during our stay). A standout experience was the magical three-course meal Schalk arranged for us atop one of the nearby mountains.

Our family loved every minute. This was a perfect breakaway fron the city. Rudi and Frik went the extra mile to make it fun and educational for the kids, from tubes for them to swim with in the dam to the best interactive game drive we've ever had. The farm is beautiful with a fantastic variety of game. Another highlight was a family of giraffes strolling past the open window while the kids were in the bath😍 we will definitely be back

The house and its location were both beautiful, with no neighbors in sight. Soekie was a wonderful host. We enjoyed seeing many animals on the game drive. Please arrive promptly to avoid getting lost.

Sometimes getting completely OFF THE GRID and spending time with family and friends with no distractions, no wifi, no cellphone reception, solar electricity and a donkey geyser, collecting freshly laid eggs in the morning etc is so good for the soul. What an amazing place for a break from our busy lifestyles, a working farm/game farm with wildebeest and farm animals on your stoep, at night light a boma and watch the stars and milky way and listen to jackals in the distance, I will remember this getaway for a long time 🤩🙏🙏🙏

We love this place. Very relaxing with great views. Love seeing the animals walk past the chalets

Super friendly people everywhere! The view was beautiful and you could walk the whole place, with so many animals to see. Very peaceful, warm pool and pet friendly. We had an amazing stay!
