    12 August 2019

    "The accommodation unit sleeps up to 4 people. It was a lovely, sparkling clean and comfortable unit. Small touches makes such a difference. There was complimentary cherry in the unit.The highlight was Helen. What a gem. She was lovely from the start. She assisted with directions and made it easier to get to the accommodation as the directions is quite tricky. We had a lovely arrival experience, she did the meet & greet. And she was extremely friendly and explained everything so well. A big thank you to Helen. We will definitely be back in the near future."

    25 January 2017

    "My girlfriend and I spent Saturday night in the Browns Cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The welcome was warm and inviting, the accommodation was great and all the small things that other accommodation don't think of made the evening. The road getting into and out of the establishment was also easily negotiationed by my small hatchback. We will definitely be going back."

    01 January 2017

    "Browns is a quaint, rustic, antiquely typical farmhouse cottage nestled at the end of a long driveway amongst rows of pecan nut trees that shroud the majestic mountains of Magaliesburg, and offers an abundance of tranquility. The unit sports all the basics with beautiful bedding and lovely towels. Helen and David are unobtrusively nearby and gracious hosts."

    19 September 2016

    ""We regularly travel for weekends away and have been received warmly by our hosts. However, nothing could have prepared us for the sheer delight and love that greeted us upon our arrival at Browns Cabin and Cottages. Our hosts are of the kindest and most welcoming that we have ever encountered. NOTHING is too much trouble and they go to extra lengths to ensure that their guests are comfortable, happy and relaxed. The accommodation is truly beautiful with personal touches introduced into the decor and the setting and scenery is breathtaking. We would highly recommend Browns Cabin and Cottages to travellers wanting to be enveloped in luxury accommodation, attentive hosts and picturesque scenery."<br/><br/>Bennie and Belinda Grobler<br/>September 2016"

  • "Value for Money"

    19 October 2014

    "We had such a lovely stay at Browns, close to all the tourist attractions as well as a lot of wedding venues in the area. Helen and the team goes over and above expectations to make you feel at home. The rooms are beautifully put together with a country modern feel. Situated in the peaceful surroundings of the Magaliesberg mountains. Ideal for people that are coming for weddings, who love nature, adventure sports, or just to break away from the Rat Race. I am a trail runner and Browns is 2km away from Van Gaalens Trails, that has over 100km of trails. We will definitely be back in the near future!"

  • "Browns Cabin & Cottage a wonderful place"

    16 November 2009

    "It was a wonderful stay, they have a beautiful view of the mountain, we received a warm welcome. The cottage was beautiful, I enjoyed every moment there. Thank you"

  • "Enjoyed it"

    30 September 2009

    "we had a awesome weekend,"

  • "The Perfect Breakaway"

    09 November 2008

    "Our stay at Browns Cabin was absolutely fantastic. I at first didn't know what to expect and was a little nervous about what we would find since I planned the night as a surprise for my boyfriend. What we found took our breath away, it is located on the most beautiful pecan nut farm with the best view on the Magalies mountains. The cabin itself is a modern, yet very romantic little destination with everything you need and friendly hosts ready to assist you with whatever you need. We can't complain about anything, our stay was fantastic and we would definitely do it again. It is a safe destination (safer that the average South African destination, we do live in South Africa, never forget that), considering we forgot our fondue outside on the stoep the whole night and it was still there the next morning.I'd recommend Browns Cabin to anyone and we can't wait to go back for a night or two."

  • "Ware Suid-Afrikaanse Gasvryheid"

    20 October 2008

    "Sjoe, die Browns het regtig ekstra moeite gedoen om ons te laat welkom voel. Die linne was kraakvars en pragtig. Ons het heerlik op die stoep gesit en eet. Ons kannie nie glo ons was eintlik so naby aan die stad nie. Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike blaaskans."

  • "Amazing"

    14 July 2008

    "It was a great breakaway from the city life and the cabin is amazing. I would recommend it to anyone."

  • "Hosts were fantastic."

    17 June 2008

    "So friendly and warm. Nothing was too much trouble. The cottage was beautifully decorated and there was meticulous attention to detail. Lovely touches, such as scented candles, luxury soaps and extra blankets. Would have been great, though, to have a shower rather than/in addition to a bath."
