Tomjachu Bush Retreat

Tomjachu is an exclusive, family-owned private nature reserve set in over 550 hectares (1300 acres) of mountain bushveld where family, peace and nature embrace one another and special memories are forged forever.

Whether you are looking for adventure or relaxation, with family, friends, or your loved one, Tomjachu offers something for everyone. On our trails, tracks and roads you can hike amongst the abundant plains game and through mountains and valleys, mountain bike through the bush on easy or challenging routes, enjoy a nature drive or guided bushwalk with our experienced ranger, or try your hand at fishing for bass and bream in our dams.

Or you can simply unwind by the pool, listening to the orchestra of over 265 bird species, as the fresh mountain air trickles up from the valley below.

We accommodate 14 guests at the Homestead and three delightful cottages, each with their own unique character and romance. We are additionally blessed with spectacular bush locations to enjoy memorable bush dinners under the stars and star-gazing experiences, or picnics at one of our many picnic sites around the property.

Our multi award-winning Valbonne Villa offers the exquisite comfort of a 5-star TGCSA, self-catering Villa suitable for 6 couples or 12 guests sharing fully serviced. Regional winner and national runner up of the Lilizela Toursim Awards for four consecutive years in 2014, 2015, 2016 & 2017.

"A litte bit of paradise!"

"We stayed for 3 nights and wished we could have stayed for longer. We booked the Rock House and everything about it was just perfect. Quality linens and furnishings, spotlessly clean and all the amenities you could wish for.<div><br /></div><div>I wish I had a painting of the view from the step, it was just gorgeous and sitting there in the evening by the light of the oil lamps and listening to the bush noises was wonderfully relaxing.</div><div><br /></div><div>Tomjachu is a real gem and we will certainly be back on our next visit to SA.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"></span></div>"
