My team and I spent 2 days and 1 night at De Hoek last week. It's a great place for a small conference. I believe that there are around 20 rooms, so unless you are sharing with your colleagues, 20 would be the max for an overnight conference. The conference room was nice and big, and in a beautiful setting.... More

My husband and I enjoy the odd escape to the countryside combined with a touch of luxury! This place does it all for us, from the peaceful babble of the river, the wind in the abundant tall trees, interesting menu, great wines & comfortable suites. The staff are friendly and service is excellent. Book a picnic down by the river... More

It is sad, in this day and age when everyone is battling to make ends meet to have this kind of Country Lodge knocked because there wasn't enough toilet paper! How much do you need at one time? If you can't afford the wine don't drink it, life is about choices. I didn't think it was that bad. We have... More

We went there for a function and stayed over. The welcome was up to standard with welcome drinks and all. The room was spacious but had no Air conditioner, the bathroom was small with no shower , but more worrying was that they only had half a toilet roll in the bathroom and we had to go to the hotel...

For many years, both while I lived in Botswana and when I would return to visit friends there, I have spent many lovely times at De Hoek. The high level of service has been maintained for many years, with comfortable accommodations, superb dining, and informal elegance. This is not a place for people who feel they must be connnected to... More

Thank you to the whole team at De Hoek, what a magical weekend away to celebrate our 15 year anniversary and also the upcoming birth of our daughter! Special mention needs to go to every staff member, from the lady who cleaned our room and brought extra biscuits “for the baby”, to the man in the bar who just magically... More

A birthday weekend at De Hoek. Simply superb. The house, the accommodation, the grounds and especially the magnificent staff made the stay worth every cent. We felt like royalty. Any negatives? The bathroom has a huge made-for-two bath, but the geyser apparently doesn't have the capacity to fill it. After being treated so well by the amazing staff in all... More

The main reception area is cute, the gardens are lovely and the food is good. The rooms are AWFUL!! They have taken the former magaliesburg hotel rooms that would pass as a 2 star room and have placed a few Charlotte Rhys products, a rose, cheap furniture and are charging the rooms at R3700! I have never been more shocked.... More

We stayed a two night weekend, it was amazing. Henry the assistant manager went out of his way to look after us. The five course diner was a real treat. Expensive but really made with love and worth it. We felt completely relaxed after being there in the first hour after our arrival..something we needed for a good relax and... More
