Magaliesburg Gauteng - South Africa

Email Saamrus Guest Farm enquiries and Reservations: booksa@madbookings.com

We have used reeds and hedges for screening to give you maximum privacy and seclusion. All cottages are equipped with a fenced garden for the dogs, private braai area and fireplaces.
Cottages also have ceiling or loose standing fans, wall heaters, DSTV, fully equipped kitchens and bathrooms all with showers and some with baths.

The cottages at the foot of the hill, close to the bird-haven indigenous bush and river walks.

Tarentaal & Kiewiet Rondawels (foot of hill)
Both ideal for a couple or two friends sharing (each sleeps 2). At Tarentaal and Kiewiet rondawels the views towards the woodland hill and the surrounding indigenous trees adds to the secluded atmosphere.
The prolific bird life, and the easy access to the river and hillside walks, makes these cottages the ideal spot for a very relaxing getaway.
Each open plan bedroom / living room has 2 three quarter beds, a dining-room table and comfortable chairs next to an inviting fireplace.
Fully-equipped kitchens are separate from the bedroom / living room and the natural rock-built bathrooms have showers only.
Tarentaal and Kiewiet have a heart-warming history of many joyful and relaxing weekends enjoyed by regular guests and their pets.

Hoephoep Cottage (foot of hill)
Suitable for a couple or group of up to four (sleeps 2 - 4). Hoephoep is a spacious very private cottage nestled against the foot of the hill close to the river walks.
The dense forest behind it can be viewed through large windows from the lounge, bathroom and bedroom. Lovely veld grass and flowers decorates the meadow in front of the cottage in summer.
The spacious bedroom has a king-size bed, (or 2 single beds) and airy french doors onto the veranda. More french doors open from the open plan living room / kitchen / dining room to the patio and braai area.
2 extra single beds are on stand-by for extra guests sleeping in the lounge. Bird watching can be done from the bath, as the romantic cement bath for two is right against the window with a magical view of the forest.
The shower is over the bath. For the sake of privacy, the bathroom is off the passage, with doors closing off both the bedroom and living room.

The cottages on the hill with panoramic views are only accessible by 4 x 4, or diff-lock bakkie. (In wet weather serious 4 x 4 only).
We offer transport up and down the hill on arrival and departure for people coming by car. Should you wish to go out during the weekend, it is a pleasant and scenic walk down to the car and back up to you cottage (300 – 400m).

Karee & Olienhout Cottages (on hill)
Both ideal for a couple or two friends sharing (each sleeps 2). Cozy and romantic describes these gorgeous open-plan cottages, discreetly far away enough from each other for privacy and seclusion.
The panoramic views give one a wonderful feeling of freedom and space. Each bedroom / living room has a king-size bed (or two single beds), and a fireplace in the bedroom.
A candelabrum with candles adds to the atmosphere. The bathroom has a view of the mountains in the distance and a romantic cement bath big enough for two. The shower is over the bath. Karee and Olienhout are perfect for that romantic or undisturbed weekend away.

Akasia Cottage (on hill)
Both ideal for a couple or two friends sharing (each sleeps 2). To take advantage of the magnificent views from the hill, we couldn’t resist building more cottages.
Akasia was the first ‘new’ cottage built on the hill. The bedroom has a romantic king-size bed, (or two single beds for friend/family sharing).
2 more single beds can be prepared in the open plan lounge. For the sake of privacy, the bathroom is off the passage with doors closing on both sides towards the bedroom and living room.
The bathroom has a cement bath big enough for two, with and a shower over the bath. A candelabrum with candles is supplied for even more atmosphere in the bathroom.
From the open plan living lounge / kitchen / dining room, french doors open on to the charming veranda with pillars built from the natural rock found right at the spot. The views from the veranda are quite breathtaking.

Suikerbos Cottage (on hill)
Ideal for two couples sharing or a group of up to six (sleeps 4 - 6). Suikerbos was our first cottage on the hill and guests keep coming back to its views, comfort and privacy.
The large wooden deck with its ‘forever’ vista is the ideal spot to have a meal and socialise or just lounge and read a book. Two en-suite bathrooms have showers only.
There are double beds in both bedrooms, 2 divan beds can sleep two more guests in the open-plan living room area.
Planning a weekend away with family or friends to catch up on your socialising, or having a re-union to re-connect? Suikerbos at Saamrus is just the place to braai or cook together and relax on the veranda or in front of the fireplace – well into the night.
A six-seater dining table and chairs in the living room and on the deck allows for pleasant meals with friends or family.
