Scenic serenity
Cosy eco log cabin with stunning views of the distant and nearby mountains. Cabin has large windows, so even from inside the view is awesome. Very comfortable beds, with crisp white linen. Well appointed braai area. The game farm lends itself to hiking and mountain climbing, and on game drives a lot of animals are seen. Sometimes these roam around the cabin. The staff is very helpful.

Rest the right way
Mount Everest has provided me and my family with the opportunity to rest for REAL! From the breathtaking scenery to the amazing service, we had the opportunity to get away from the city and just relax. The cabins were very neat and when we needed any assistance (even at 21:00 at night) they are always ready to help. There is also no lack of activities if you are into... Read this review

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... Read this review

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.

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.
