The location and views from Tomjachu retreat is stunning, the food is amazing, hospitality second to none. The wildlife is wonderful. I loved this retreat so much I had to stay an extra evening. Am looking forward to my next visit. Definitely an amazing adventure for everyone.

We stayed in the pet friendly cottage - the area enclosed was spacious (our dogs could run around). The cottage had all the amenities we needed, and then some! A lot of trials for hikes/walks with stunning views. A beautiful, tranquil place, ideal for a breakaway.

A bad experience for my girlfriend and I. Pros: Nice food, friendly staff, nice mountain views from the main building, saw a giraffe, buck and zebras. Cons: Very remote, 5km drive along a gravel path to reach the place (prevents you from also leaving), terrible bed which creaked at the slightest movement, shower difficult to control to get warm water, room very basic (like walking back 50 years), no tv or aircon, no network reception, wifi was very patchy, we did the morning hike and the route was quite poor with certain areas not marked and you have walk through tall grass. Overall, definitely not worth the cost for a supposed 4 star rating.

We booked into Tomjachu this past weekend as we were running in the Kaapsehoop marathon. No where on their web site or in the reservation correspondence did they set out their check in times. We left Centurion at 14:h30 and wanted to collect our race numbers at the Mbombela stadium at 18:30. We were an hour out and I called to announce our arrival. The lady at reception advised us that check in closed at 18:00 and she was doing us a favor to stay there till 19:00. I explained we wanted to pick up our numbers and this would make us later than 19:00. She advised in that case we would not be able to access the property. This resulted in us having to drive past the stadium, check in and then return to the stadium adding an hour to our 4 hour trip. It is beyond comprehension that in this day and age they are so inflexible in check in time in particular that the JHB trip takes 4 hours so if you do not leave JHB before 14:00 don’t chose this as your holiday retreat. Very disappointed customer

We had such high expectations. I must say, on a positive note, the location of this place is spectacular, and the tree is beautiful. Our room was adequate even though we had two singles beds pushed together with the uncomfortable join. The staff were dreadful. It was as if we had taken advantage of a price reduction and should be punished for it! We popped out for dinner one night (didnt trust the cooking of Tomjachu after being served raw pork sausages for breakfast) and returned to a darkened locked up main homestead! You have to ask for anything and everything. Towels are old and small. If you wait outside the kitchen at breakfast no-one offers coffee. I truly do not understand how any seasoned traveller will come away from this overated place happy.

Fantastic and We’re Coming Back!
Such a beautiful place! We are definitely going back. Beware of GPS leading you astray if you are coming from the Ressano Garcia border.

We have just returned from the most amazing 10days at Tomjachu, a group of 9 adults and two children( 3 and 1 )have memories to last a lifetime (although we will be back one day!) the hospitality was second to none, the retreat is just the most incredible place and the organisation of our excursions was handled solely by the team and so smooth for us in detail , no stone unturned. Sandy and Ross we thank you for making our trip the most seamless experience possible. To say coming home to reality was difficult would be an understatement! We can’t wait to come and see you again one day.

My husband and I stayed in the Rock House……wow, what a view! We loved every minute of our stay. The staff were attentive and the food was excellent. Staying here was the highlight of our holiday in South Africa. ❤️❤️❤️
