Imbabali Retreat and Venue

Amazing and peaceful the dam was amazing and so was the kayaking super clean and staff was very friendly

Lovely place serenity in the heart of the Magaliesburg area.

It was our first visit and it did not disappoint . It is such a peaceful place to just go and chill . There are alot of things to do around (15 to 20min drive ) on the property you can fish (catch and release ) the dogs are awesome . Riley is the cutest , she will probably adopt you for the time you are there . The breakfast we got was awesome . We met the owners on our last day they are awesome people . If you hear a piano playing the owners also sell , repair and tune pianos .All and all we had an excellent stay and will definitely go back !So we went back and once again it was brilliant. We used the small pool on the patio and went for a row on the dam . Riley is looking good after the operation. She is an absolute sweetie pie.

Had a great time and rested well. Will visit again

We enjoyed our stay, nice and clean. Cleaning crew cleaning in the mornings. Fishing was good. The dogs was my favourite part of our stay. If you want to relax be sure to book in.

We were at Imbabali for 4 days and it was a much needed break! Great value for money. Everything was wonderful - the views, friendliness from the owners and staff, well-trained and friendly dogs, maintaining our cottage, pool and braai daily, kayaking, beautiful garden for a romantic walk, I could go on. It was serene and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The cottage had everything we needed. There are plenty day-activity locations close by when we were looking for a social excursion. Highly recommended retreat.

We had a fantastic and well needed breakaway. This was the place.Great welcome and friendly service , stunning views of the mountain and breathtaking view of the dam. We did some canoeing and had long morning walks . Delicious food for dinner. Lovely homely cottage with everything required for a weekend stay. Thank you Greg and Catharine for taking the extra mile for us. We left there with a new friendship. Love always. Fatima and AK.

This place is an absolute gem. Beautiful, quiet, serene. The cottages are clean and amazing. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Breakfast great. Will most def be coming back absolutely gorgeous and exactly what I was looking for.

Relaxing, the owners are friendly and helpful. The cottages are spacious, comfortable and clean. The views are magnificient and the walk to the river is a must. The garden is spectacular! We really had a great time and will definitely go back! A real gem!

Literally I barely touched or looked at my cellphone the entire weekend I was there. As you walk out of your cottage it has its own private seating area and jacuzzi type of pool and you are literally like 10 metres from the lake and then the scenery from there, WOW! Magical. There is a braai (Barbebeque) area right by the lake where we sat, had wine/beer, fished and watched the sunset. Then the bar and buffet, the food, INCREDIBLE, I stuffed myself, at the time we were there they served the most incredible pasta salad, which usually I hate to eat, I ate this one for lunch, dinner & breakfast. Then there was Pork, Beef, Chicken, the desserts was devine, I seriously stuffed myself. Then the staff, sooo hospitable, so friendly, we practically family now because the trip literally felt more like we went away to go visit family. Then they have a long walk in the field which you can take your pet dog by another river, I mean, the view there, super, this place was just heaven on earth. I recall driving back to Joburg and feeling the city closing in and it was unpleasant lol, all its problems, bills, traffic, the city rush which you forget completely about when you out there, came back. Imbabali is very chill, calm, quiet, very peaceful all you got is the sound of nature, oh my lord, I am coming back here, just writing this and thinking about it makes me nostalgic. Thank you soo much to Greg, Best bartender ever and fisherman, you will really enjoy his company, Keagan their awesome son, such a help & cool dude and Katherine who is the super woman of this place, you will love her, very much on the ball, always ready to serve and take care of your needs so you're happy. Thank you so much guys, I had the best time at your place and cannot wait to return :-)
