We stayed in a 2 bedroom in the golf area, having flown into Polokwane on the way to a safari in Botswana. It had been a long day of flying, and the Ranch was a welcome respite. The rooms were great, the pools were great, the food at the restaurants was fine, it was all very good. The tours are... More

What a beautiful place this is! One can tell the "pride" of the family that runs this establishment from the personal, intimate care thta is taken of the property and the accommodation. By far, the main attraction, and the reason for my 1 night stay, was the "Walk with Lions" tour. This tour is conducted in the early morning (7am),... More

My husband and I stayed there for two nights recently as I was attending a conference. The location is good - great view from the window. Room very spacious with king size bed. Downside - the sheets were too small for the bed. Fantastic food at Basil's though, and excellent breakfasts. Staff helpful and attentive. I'd go again to eat,... More

We stayed over for one night. The carpets were very dirty and the interleading door to another room was not locked on our side. With no guest in the next door room, the TV from that room was blaring the whole night long. The breakfast was very special. More

Just got back from The Ranch. Had a great weekend. The hotel is not a traditional hotel but rather more a resort with rooms separate from each other, which is nice as they are more private. Parking is right at your room and is free. Check in was quick. Rooms were really great. We had a Deluxe Family room and... More
