Ons Boshuisie

Ons Boshuisie is a private 110 hectares bush camp situated approximately 28 km outside Swartruggens in the North-West Province, offering a single self-catering bush cabin, ideal for families or a small group of friends. The private cabin is hidden in a valley at the foot of a hillside, close to what is known as Klein Tafelkop with big rocks, indigenous bush, and trees.

The cabin is perfectly located for your getaway to the bush, where you can escape into a relaxed and undisturbed weekend in a natural environment. Long walks, and watching the sunset and sunrise in the heart of the bush, with a good chance of seeing any one of our four species of antelope and some natural wildlife.

We also have very good 3G reception if you needed to.

Rock climbing for the adventurous type and mountain bikers are also welcome. Our roads are only suitable for high clearance vehicles with a minimum ground clearance of 40cm.

Nothing better to soothe that tired soul, than to be close to nature. We keep it close to nature with no electricity, but we do have an on-site generator that is available for your personal use.

Cooking is done on the gas stove, or by the fireside, enhancing that bush feeling, your basic needs fulfilled with our kitchen stocked with the basic eating and cooking utensils. We also have a gas refrigerator for your convenience, and, to enhance the bush life, a "donkey" (a hot water system which you heat up by making a fire in it) is provided to make your own hot water. The cabin is lit up with lights powered by solar panels, and also works for cell phone chargers.

The point of Ons Boshuisie is to get back to the basics and above all, to relax. Ons Boshuisie is all about relaxing and rejuvenating, start breathing again, listen to the singing of the birds in the bush, living outdoors, having a braai, getting up early in the morning to watch the sunrise, all undisturbed.

  • "Boshuisie naweek"

    09 July 2017

    "Ons het n fantastiese naweek gehad. Lekker stil en hoor niks behalwe die natuur geluide nie.Die donkie en sonkrag was net iets om aan gewoond te raak, veral omdat dit bewolk was, was daar nie krag nie. Ons sal volgende keer meer voorbereid wees. Ons het wel nog steeds n wonderlike tyd gehad.Die huisie was ook baie goed toegerus met meer as genoeg van als wat mens nodig het."

  • "Lekkerste wegbreek naweek nog"

    01 February 2016

    "Dit was die lekkerste wegbreek naweek nog. Ons is beide professionele mense en het 'n plekkie gesoek waar ons heeltemal op ons eie kon wees sonder lawaai en ander mense. Die Boshuisie het al ons verwagtinge oortref. Die huisie was skoon en pragtig ingerig. Alles wat ons nodig gehad het was daar.<div>Ons het alreeds ons volgende naweek by Ons Boshuisie bespreek en gaan die keer die kinders saamneem sodat hulle in die plaasdam kan gaan swem.</div><div>Baie dankie vir 'n ongelooflike lekker romantiese naweek.</div><div>Pierre en Melane Engelbrecht</div>"

Die eienaars se vriendelikheid en behulpsaamheid wasongelooflik. Dankie vir n onvergeetlike 4 dae in die bosveld. Diederik en Millie Strachan"

    "Baie skoon en gerieflik, baie goed in gerig met al die nodige breekware, groot yskas. Die natuur is pragtig, die buitelewe saam met die dier en voels is pragtig, sal die plek aan beveel vir enige natuur lief hebber. Geen persone of lawaai nie,lekker privaat en weg van alles af."

  • "Ons Boshuisie"

    23 September 2014

    "n Wonderlike, stil plekkie in die bos waar mens werklik kan ontspan, stil word en die geluide van die natuur weer kan waardeer. Om heerlik te kuier om die kampvuur, om rond te stap in die bosse saam met die opgewonde honde en voels deur verkykers te beloer. Ons Huisie in baie netjies en met alles toegerus wat mens nodig het. Talita het baie moeite gedoen (eetgoedjies vir die honde en varsgebak vir ons). Ideale plek vir n naweek wegbreek sal beslis weer gaan.<br><br><br><i>A wonderful, quiet spot in the forest where one can truly relax, quiet and the sounds of nature can be appreciated again. Is perfect for socializing around the campfire, to stroll around in the bushes with the excited dogs and birds through binoculars stared at. Our Cottage in very clean and equipped with everything one needs. Talita had a lot of trouble (treats for the dog and fresh pastries for us). Ideal place for a weekend getaway - would definitely go again.</i>"

  • "Peace and Tranquility"

    09 September 2014

    "A beautiful spot in the middle of the NW Province. Prepare yourself for some serious timeout, and lots of lazy walks with your family, friends (both human and furry!). Enjoy a swim nearby, then sit at the fireside till it's time to hit the sack. The Niemand family were extremely accommodating, and the house was immaculate and comfortable (with superb views!). I will definitely be coming back."

  • "100% tevrede"

    01 September 2014

    "Ons het heerlik gebly by Ons Boshuisie. Die stilte en natuur is wonderlik. Die huisie het alles in wat jy nodig het. Baie netjies en baie skoon. Tahlita en Pennie het die ekstra myl gegaan met die mandjie vol kombersies en die bottel vars melk as jy daar aankom. Die staproete en die dam is lekker ontspannend. Ons gaan beslis weer!"

  • "Best visit!"

    25 August 2014

    "This quaint, fully equipped cabin out in the bush (literally) is really a good 'bush outing' place for city dwellers like me. Just 2 hours out of Johannesburg. The owners gave us a warm welcome, took us down to the cabin in their own car as ours was too low to drive those rocky roads.In the two days we were there, we never saw another soul. It truly felt like we were in our own world. The cabin itself is rustic, but fully equipped with everything a person could need. I enjoyed making my own fire for the geyser and the gas stove was convenient for cooking purposes.We were also lucky enough to see a couple of antelope whilst we were there. I will certainly be going back again as it is the ideal place for quick getaway weekends."

  • "Definitely Many Returns"

    03 May 2014

    "We had a wonderful bush experience at Ons Boshuisie. Talitha and her family went out of their way to make our stay an experience to remember. We give it 5 stars for quiet bush accommodation. The easy walks have footprints painted on the trails so the youngsters can explore the farm and find their way home again. We will definitely return."

  • "Excellent Getaway"

    17 March 2014

    "As a family we thoroughly enjoyed the time away from everything and took full advantage of being so close to nature. The facility was more than we expected. We all came home fully charged again and we can rest assure, we will visit again."

  • "Lekker"

  • "Very nice place"

    18 December 2013

    "It is a very nice place we really enjoyed with my friends we were leaving a bush life for the entire long weekend just being far away from the city, we played games, took a boat ride, took a walk, saw kudus and baboons, played music and danced the whole night without making noise to anyone since the place is in the farm and is very far away from people and other things."

  • "10/10"

    29 October 2013

    "We really enjoyed our stay, the friendly owners welcomed us with open arms. Beautiful surroundings and safe walking paths. With no one else in sight, in your own little bushveld, we felt as if it was our own holiday home,our own Boshuisie."
