Magalies Guest House
Catered and self-catering accommodation
Off-Grid Getaway
Escape to Little Forest Farm Guest House near Magalies — your perfect countryside retreat just 90 minutes from Joburg and Pretoria, only 20km west of Magaliesburg village.
Choose from three charming accommodations: the cozy Garden Suite (sleeps 2), the spacious Loft Apartment (sleeps 4), or our new Cottage (sleeps 6). The Loft and Cottage are self-catering, while the Garden Suite is not. All units have access to delicious home-cooked meals from our Farm Kitchen.
Enjoy uninterrupted peace with our 100% off-grid solar power—no load shedding here! To preserve this sustainable energy, we limit high-consumption appliances, so rooms have no microwaves or TVs. Please help us care for the environment by only flushing toilet paper, as we use an eco-friendly septic system.
Your stay includes full access to the entire farm, where you can wander forest trails down to the tranquil dam. We’d be happy to set up a picnic table for a memorable outdoor moment.
Committed to sustainability, we build with natural stone, use harvested wood for hot water, and conserve water with refreshing showers (no baths). There’s no swimming pool—just serene nature waiting to be explored.
Book your peaceful getaway today and reconnect with nature at Little Forest Farm!
Location & Directions
If you’re coming from Joburg or Pretoria, the shortest route that Maps/Waze would take you on includes a gravel road with a few poor sections.
There is a slightly longer route with a much better gravel road if you head towards Rustenburg from Magaliesburg on the R24.
Take the Vlakfontein gravel road on the left 20km from the Magalies Spar, continue for 6km and take the next road to the right. Turn left after 2km and we’re 200m ahead on the left.
