    06 January 2020

    "We enjoyed the whole stay at Pat Busch. The bats was a bit of a problem in the evenings when we were outside our cottage, but this is understandable since we are in nature. We will return for another stay as soon as possible."

    14 April 2017

    "Heaven on earth for city kids. Loads of safe play area and still peace and quiet for the old folks. Beautiful surroundings. The cottage was absolutely fully equipped. Nice thick old-fashioned walls make for total silence from the neighbours. Only complaint: Bed was terribly uncomfortable and pillows too thin."

  • "Pure tranquility"

    09 January 2015

    "We had an amazing time at Pat Busch. Just what needed after a hectic year in the city, a quiet, tranquil retreat in the mountains...real soul food. The kids had an awesome time riding their bikes through the vineyards, swimming in the beautiful pool and just relaxing on the hammocks. The absence of television is a real plus, it provides for much needed quality time with one another. Thank u Lindi and Stephan I'm feeling fully recharged for the new year!!Yasmin"

    22 September 2014

    "Our stay at Pat Busch was to short. The place was peaceful and just a lovely place to relax. The Nightjar cottage was beautiful inside and had everything you could need. The views were amazing and there are lots of things to do in and around the area. We will definitely be going back in the future."

  • "Lovely place to take it easy near Robertson"

    16 January 2014

    "We really enjoyed our two nights at Pat Busch Private Nature Reserve. We were in Fig Cottage, and although the furnishings are quite basic, it has everything you need, from a ceiling fan to a crate of firewood.It's a beautiful reserve with a lovely dam for swimming and paddling, and various scenic walks and hikes. We spotted a couple of big tortoises munching in the grass, loads of birds (including an inquisitive owl)and fallow deer that visited near our cottage at night.There are various highly rated restaurants nearby, a lovely couple who sell home-distilled lavender products from their farm just a few minutes down the road, and, of course, some of South Africa' best wineries nearby.We would definitely recommend Pat Busch Private Nature Reserve for a slow winelands weekend, or for a longer stay to enjoy the natural beauty of the area."

  • "A Piece Of Heaven"

    13 December 2013

    "Two nights at Pat Busch was all we needed to end off a relaxing honeymoon. The secluded valley provided us with sublime views while we enjoyed our reading material, comfortably tucked inside our patio hammocks. I'm rather sad we didn't attempt a hike, but we did however get plenty time in the dam. The provision of boats was much appreciated.The keen fisherman inside me was delighted to find the dam stocked with bass and it wasn't long before I was casting my line into the water. A delightful book on South African freshwater fishing was generously supplied among others in our chalet; a much-appreciated addition.The hospitality, accommodation quality and location comes together to make Pat Busch Private Nature Reserve a high recommendation."

    "We stayed at Nightjar cottage, which has amazing views over the valley. Even with the rain, we managed a beautiful long walk in the mountains and cozy evenings by the fire. Delicious lunch and wine at Rosendal wine estate just down the road. Climbing in Montagu with Justin was a real highlight for the kids and adults! Will definitely be back."

    "Oh my Gosh- Peaceful Bliss!! Definitely Heaven on earth. My husband and I went along with our 2 little ones- 2years and 4 years old- my first words to my Mom when we called to say that we arrived Safely was "we brought the wrong children with- not even the birds make a noise here!". 6 weeks ago, we suffered a miscarriage- and desperately needed a change of scenery. i am 97% sure that this past weekend- while relaxing, i started feeling all most of those pregnancy symptoms again.
