Guestbook

IDEAL FOR CLIMBERS AND FAMILIES

Incredible stay camping here. Great facilities for shower and cooking, we car camped but the lodges looked luxurious and some were tucked away and very private. Really nice staff and magical so have zebra and wildebeest and ostrich’s walking around camp as you braai! We loved the climbing, plenty of higher grade routes but we stuck to SA grade 14-16, luxury to walk back to camp within 15minutes and the staff have a great guidebook. Thank you for your welcome, we hope to come back soon!

Much more than a guest farm

We would like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful time we were able to experience with you!

From the moment we arrived, your hospitality and warmth made us feel right at home. Your place is a real gem - so clean, well cared for and surrounded by breathtaking nature. It is a place where one can really relax and forget the hustle and bustle of life.

The animals on the farm made our experience even more special! We enjoyed being among the animals so much, and of course the horses were literally and figuratively a "highlight" of our visit. 😉

You have created a place that is so much more than just a guest farm. It is filled with love, tranquility and a unique atmosphere that we will remember forever. We will definitely visit again and bring more friends to share this piece of paradise.

With great appreciation and wonderful memories,

Best time of my life

Mt Everest Guest Farm is on my TOP 5 places to visit. One of my most memorable vacations ever for a number of reasons. Firstly, its not that far from Jo'burg. Secondly, easy to find - signage is great so you dont waste time & money driving around looking for the place. Thirdly, the staff & service you receive is top class! Fourth, that picture you have in your mind of what you expect (as far as accommodation goes) is above & beyond your imagination! Sixth, THE VIEW from our chalet totally sublime! and lastly but not least, driving around the Reserve was transcendentally impressive. In my humble opinion, one of the most underrated Reserves in SA. A TRUE GEM!!! Thank you Mt Everest for one of the best times of my life!!!!!!!!!!

Tranquility and peace in the mountains

Just the most breathtaking views from Mount Everest Guest Farm. Completely immersed in nature with undisturbed panoramic views of the mountains. If you're looking for a getaway with peace and tranquility, I can't recommend Mount Everest Guest Farm enough. The best part: Pet friendly! And also a great mid-way point from Jhb to Dbn. The staff, specifically Maci and Shorty, are incredibly kind and helpful. They went above and beyond to assist in every possible way. We will definitely be back!

Loved the peace and tranquility on the farm. Not only is the farm situated in the perfect place but Arendskop Chalet was just perfect with a picturesque view. It was an awesome weekend with friends. To view the sunrise from our deck was stunning

Stunning, clean picturesque accomodation

We arrived late at night by the site of a herd of Widebees. We were welcomed by a beautiful cabin with state of the art appliances, very clean and homely vibe. We were warm. The next morning we were in awe by the scenery. Will definately book again!

Het die Paasnaweek van 7/04/‘23 tot 9/04/‘23 by Mount Everest , 3 Chalets geboek om sodoende ons kinders en kleinseuns die mooiste mooi net buite Harrismith te laat beleef.

Dit is en bly een van my eerste keuses vir n wegbreek naweek. Weereens dankie vir puik diens!!!! Sien jul weer binnekort!!🙏👌🏻

Great view, Romantic, Quiet, Great value

Mount Everest is ideal for climbing enthusiasts and hikers. There are no marked trails, but many game paths and dirt roads to explore. It has a wonderfully relaxing farm atmosphere and the chalets are very nice. Whilst it is centrally located, being in the mountains the weather can turn quickly and the wind usually picks up in the afternoon. Even so, we will definitely be back.

Under the watchful eye of the eagle

Change is good and Mt Everest Game Farm, under new ownership, is making it count. As a group of MTB cyclists, we were looking for a destination close to Johannesburg for long, challenging rides. What we found in Mt Everest was a unique destination that offered up so much more than a typical guest farm. We had beautiful linen, WIFI, a well-equipped kitchen, and privacy that was a pleasure to get back to after a long day of training. We mapped out routes that took us on beautiful mountain passes, never seeing another car or shop of any sort. We had the countryside in full Cosmos bloom to ourselves, not to mention the game surrounding us on the guest farm. Everything was quite breathtakingly beautiful. This is a 5-star MTB destination.

Piece of heaven

Dear owners of Mount Everest: What a superb piece of heaven. Arendskop is perfect - lovely accommodation, well equipped, the views just splendid. Thank you for spoiling us. Just a treasure you have here - we'll be back.

Amazing

This place is amazing. We booked Aarendskop chalet and spent our Christmas at this hidden gem. Aarendskop chalet has recently been renovated and has the most amazing views. If you are looking for total serenity, this is the place to visit.
With a short 2 hour 30 minute drive from Johannesburg this is the perfect weekend escape from the city's hustle and bustle.
This chalet is equiped with a lovely braai which you can open on the inside or the outside, depending on your preference.
The spiral stairs in this cabin is fitted with motion detection lights which automatically switches on when you approach the stairs.
Aarendskop also has WiFi and a TV. However I have to say, with the views and serenity this chalet offers, switching on the TV or making use of the WiFi was not a priority at all.
There are plenty of wildlife on Mount Everest and you are guaranteed to see and hear them.
All chalets are self catering so be sure to take with you everything you'll need for the duration of your stay.
No need to panic should you have forgotten something, Mount Everest is situated 21km outside the town of Harrismith where one can get the things you might have forgotten.
You can be assured of total privacy with no neighbours and no staff disturbing you during your stay (unless otherwise requested).
I will definitely visit this hidden gem again in future. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect family climbing holiday location with working WiFi

We had a wonderful stay at Mount Everest. It's a beautiful, peaceful location. The climbing is great and lovely hiking and game watching too. The accommodation was spacious, very comfortable and had fantastic views. WiFi worked and TV streaming too. We did an excellent trad multipitch and put up a rope on some easy sports routes for our daughter to toprope. It was really special watching the animals everywhere we went and in the evenings around the braai. Looking forward to our next visit!

Super endroit

Le chalet était perdu dans la nature, très bel endroit, très écologique, avec toutes les commodités. Le chalet est magnifique. L'endroit est tellement calme. Nous avons fait une balade dans la propriété le matin et c'était magnifique de se promener entre les antilopes, les zèbres, les gnous ... Magnifique endroit.

So privaat as wat jy sal kan kry

Inboek en uitboek het glad verloop. Die pad lyk goed na Mt. Everest. Baie vriendelike personeel. Die huis is heeltemal privaat en dis 'n wonderlike wegbreek van die gejaagde lewe. Vele wildspesies op die plaas. Ons honde was saam en ek dink hulle het dit nog meer as ons geniet. Die bed het kraakvars, spierwit linne en die plek is baie mooi skoon.
