About Ribbokkloof Holiday Farm

Ribbokkloof Lodge is a unique holiday farm situated in Mpumalanga, conveniently located just two hours' drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria.

Ribbokkloof forms part of a series of Gelykwater Bonsmara Cattle Farms, so every morning guest's wake up to the sound of the cattle walking down the kloof path to drink from the stream near the chalets, while the calves play in their crèche. Our Bonsmaras are intelligent and inquisitive, so it is very likely that they will come right up to your chalet. In addition, Ribbokkloof's horses will enthral all visitors, young and old alike.

Ribbokkloof combines the best of rustic charm and old fashioned farmhouse hospitality with absolute comfort, with a choice of B&B rooms, B&B chalets, self-catering chalets or camping site accommodation. Our chalets are privately positioned in the kloof, where the gentle murmuring of a mountain stream and rock pools will lull you to sleep every night. Or, for the more adventurous, camping under the stars is the perfect way to enjoy being close to nature.

Accommodation

Our accommodation consists of fully equipped self-catering chalets are ideal for larger groups of guests, family holidays, or a weekend away with friends. In comfortable, charmingly rustic surrounds and with an indoor braai area, you're sure to enjoy a wonderful weekend regardless of the weather.

If you're really want to get down and dirty with Mother Nature, then book a stand in our riverbed campsite and experience the blissful tranquillity of sleeping under the Ribbokkloof stars! In addition, all accommodation can be easily accessed by car (and not only 4 x 4 vehicles).

For chalet and camping guests, please note, that guests are required to bring their own bath and swimming towels, dish cloths, dish washing soap, toilet paper, torches, binoculars and insect repellent – and of course their own groceries. Bringing extra camp chairs will also make your stay more comfortable.

• Gas stoves etc. in order to do our bit for the energy saving (by not using Eskom at all)
