Just under an hour from Johannesburg lies a little slice of heaven. Quiet Mountain, truly, is the perfect weekend getaway. The accommodation is elegantly comfortable, the food superb, and the hosts congenial. Outstanding service from the moment we got here. Will certainly spend more weekends here. It is deserving of 6 stars ( sadly the maximin is 5).

Quiet Mountain is an oasis of calm and tranquility in the foothills of Mageliesberg which is about an hours drive from Johannesburg. With a bit of luck you wont be able to find it so it will remain a haven for me and my friends when we holiday in South Africa. Owned and run by two engaging men it is... More

The few 5 star country hotels in this area, just a one hour drive from Johannesburg, are now essentially conference centres with hotel facilities. To find a Country House that offers luxury, gourmet cuisine and serene surroundings is rare, but Quiet Mountain is such a place. John and Terence opened Quiet Mountain 19 years ago and by word of mouth... More

Quiet Mountain has become like a home from home. We arrive, have a light lunch in the gardens with a glass or two of wine, enjoy a siesta in our room, have a short walk as the day cools and then wait eagerly for dinner. The food is good, honest, home cooked fare using fresh ingredients from the garden wherever... More

We have enjoyed many weekends at this beautiful little country home & never seem to tire of it! The accommodation is very homely & comfy, the food superb, the gardens a joy & all in all a really relaxing place to escape the rat race of Johannesburg. Cant be faulted & cant wait to return!!!

The food was divine, service excellent, John funny, carming and just entertaining, our room an oasis and overall we had... More

Well, we can only reiterate what has been said already! In fact I would defy anyone to say anything horrid about this oasis. The absolutely 150% perfect getaway for a weekend of peace, beauty, GREAT food (go hungry) and some real funny entertainment...Mein host is a laugh a minute. The hiking is good and they pack a terrific picnic lunch... More

My partner and I have been visiting Quiet Mountain since 1995 and still love it. If you want to get away from the madness of the city it has to be the greatest option. The gardens are glorious, the beds comfortable, the food delicious and the peace is unbeatable. The owners of Quiet Mountain have resisted the temptation of commercialising... More

Read the reviews, but was not expecting such good food, service and environment. Recommend the walk up the hill - saw Kudu Bull close up the view from the top is well worth the effort; plus it helps make room for more great food.
