I loved the location and the peaceful rural setting. The buildings are rustic, and the rooms, in converted stables, were very tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The little restaurant was cozy with a huge fireplace and lovely picture windows looking out onto a little lake. We had dinner and breakfast and were very happy with the service and the quality of the food. I especially loved the freshly prepared breakfast omelette.

Flitwick Ranch is a little gem. Marie and Jurie were absolutely wonderful. Jurie's skills in the kitchen are admirable and we are definitely coming back for butter chicken, fillet steak, carrot cake and malva pudding, to name a few. The rooms are beautifully furnished and we were very comfortable and happy. My husband and our dog enjoyed going on the hikes. We will definitely be going back, with friends.

Accommodation is part of a big farm! Truly amazing location and staff! The rooms in the old cheese factory are extremely charming! Fully equipped kitchen. Wonderful common areas and fireplaces! Very cozy and relaxed atmosphere. Lots of activities available for couples and families.

Quite a few flies but that's farm life.

This place is truly exceptional. From the owner and managers to Chef Armando and the serving staff, everyone provided an outstanding experience. The charm of the stone buildings adds a unique character to the ambiance, creating a delightful, intimate village feel. One of the highlights was the opportunity to meet fellow travelers, and we even formed new friendships with visitors from Bali. Chef Armando deserves special mention for his exceptional culinary skills. Throughout our four-night stay, we dined at the restaurant for all our meals, and each dish was a delight. The managers were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel as if we were visiting family friends. Adding to the charm of our stay was the 2km walk to the bass dam, where we encountered various animal spoor. Despite being January, the weather was unexpectedly chilly on some days, allowing us to appreciate the warmth of a cozy fireplace during some of our dinners. The unique and thoughtful children's playground was a highlight for our young children who spent most of their time playing there.

The ranch is at a remote location. For us that was something we really loved, but maybe not everyone does? We loved our stay from beginning to end.

The staff is one of the friendliest we have ever met! The ranch is beautifully situated and has little corners, seats, possibility to play games, etc everywhere. Fantastic for children to go exploring. But even us adults enjoyed the game-barn :-) The chef is brilliant, so definitely use the restaurant when you're there, everything was super delicious. We slept here for 2 nights, could have easily spend some more!

Nothing.

The stuff was very friendly. I like that they offer some of the activities for free. And the place is beautiful, great place for people who love quietness and nature. And they are centered around GOD- Great place for christians.

Wifi was spotty at best in my room, easy fix.

The location is beautiful and the rooms were nice. The best part was the chef, Armando and his delicious food! Five stars to him.

I rarely find myself compelled to share my opinions publicly, but in this instance, I consider it a moral obligation. After more than four decades of traversing the globe, including South Africa, I discovered a gem along the Drakensberg road – the Flitwick Ranch. It's a slice of paradise, a realm out of a fairy tale, an enchanting sanctuary that captivates the souls of those who take the time to appreciate its splendor – a haven for romantics, poets, and wanderers alike. It's not just a stop; it's a destination in itself. Whether you arrive solo, with a partner, or alongside your family, the experience is nothing short of mesmerizing. Children will be spellbound, and it's a place where one can contemplate life's wonders. However, I urge you to visit soon before prices ascend. Embrace nature's embrace at this seemingly remote locale, yet equipped with every comfort imaginable, overseen by charming hosts, offering cuisine of the highest quality. The value offered is unparalleled, an exceptional blend of luxury and affordability. This eco lodge, ahead of its time, harnesses the sun for electricity and draws pure spring water for quenching your thirst. The service provided is beyond reproach. Heartfelt gratitude goes to Marié, Jurie, Chantelle, and their remarkable teams for extending such a warm welcome during my stay. I yearn to introduce this haven to my children, grandchildren, and friends, eager for them to revel in its beauty and hospitality.

The only negative point is that we only booked this accommodation for 1 night. We would have loved to stay here for more nights, enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and great food.

First point to make is about the host, Jurie, which is amazingly friendly, making you feel very welcome to stay here. From the start, which was a very warm welcome, he makes everything perfect. From showing us the accommodation to making sure our food is served exactly how we like it, to arranging the fireplace to be started so we can end our evening in a cozy (and romantic) manner. The rooms are very spacious and classic farm style. The rooms we had on the main square had a lovely view over the garden and mountains in the distance. The whole facility is beautiful and I recommend to take stroll around to watch everything. The restaurant has a nice view over a (sort of) tiny lake at the rear, where you can enjoy the high quality breakfast and dinner. Overall very highly recommended.

the gaps on the door, in summer snakes might get in the room, I am scared of snakes.

I likes that the place is secluded and quiet, you go there to really relax play board games and be one with nature.

"Absolutely enchanting farm ranch retreat with breathtaking aesthetics, secluded tranquility, delectable cuisine. A South African gem worth every moment."

Signal is poor, including wifi so good for relaxed stays but not where high speed wifi is required. The religious signs might make it uncomfortable for non-christians.

Unique stay on a working farm. Quality linnen, towels etc. Tranquil. Friendly staff. The food at the Deli is really good (everything needs to be booked in advance though). Great area for birding and walks. Red-chested Flufftails in the vlei area.
