Polo club

Wanna go again! We had a lot of fun.

Visited Brett Watson and Absolute Polo in September 2017. Everything organized by Brett and team. Lovely farm accommodation and full catering. You are welcomed into the family. On the polo front I was new to polo but able to ride. By the first afternoon I was playing Chukkers with the locals with continual tips from Brett. Awesome intro to the sport in stunning scenery. For an extra go up Sani Pass by 4x4 into Lesotho and Africa's highest pub.

Take a sho't left at the van Reenen Caltex garage , go over the railway line and further down the road on the right hand side you will see the Oakland's Country Manor gate. The polo fields create a grand entrance. The Free State architecture is beautifully set off against the sandstone cliffs. The Hosts are incredibly warm and friendly and you feel at home instantly. They pride themselves on organic food and the menu is impressive. Drinks in the pub are healthy energy shots but my long island iced tea was perfect. The rooms are well appointed and are cosy even in mid winter.

Best polo holiday ever.Training/coaching is excellent. It is completely adapted to meet individual needs. Ponies and people are fantastic. I'm particularly fussy about ponies and they were all lovely and safe.Breathtaking location to add the chetty on top.

We went to Oaklands for a team breakaway session & had an amazing time! Very well looked after by the staff, food was amazing, views from location were incredible & accommodation was world class. I cannot recommend this venue enough.

We had a wonderful time. I liked it that we could just be us. Never had such good and tasty food as at this establishment. Well done!!

What a fabulous experience!! 8 friends enjoying a fabulous birthday celebration for 3 awesome days. The food was outstanding - every course of every meal. The owners are fabulous fun and very helpful. The staff, so obliging and friendly. A gem of a place!! Xx

We came as a family to feed my polo addiction…The lessons were amazing and Brett took the whole family and put us through our paces. We all gained so much from his lessons and it has become a family addiction now (eeeeek)!The community around the academy is truly welcoming and a they really did make us feel as part of the team, particularly with the afternoon chukkas after the lessons.When off the field we stayed in a wonderful cottage, very comfortable and amazing food.We loved it so much we have already booked our next trip.Thank you Brett, Nita and all members of the Absolute Polo Academy.

Just drive slow no more than 40kmh otherwise you will receive a fine. We did think it was really funny

Stylish, spacious hotel rooms, fabulous views and one of the best in house restaurants I’ve been to.
