Rosemary Hill reviews
44Beautiful walking trail, very flat and exceptionally clean bathroom facilities. The trails were marked well we did however find it tricky to understand the different distances.
I had an amazing stay, the food is amazing very fresh and the rooms are clean however some of the towels in the pod we stayed had a bad odour. Check-in is also easy, staff is friendly especially at the restaurant and the scenery is to die for.
Nice place indeed.service friendly staff always ready to assist.gravel road that Leeds to the place.customer who user has a challenge on cancellation of rides, I had four cancelled.
Amazing amazing wedding team at Rosemary! Made my life as a wedding planner and coordinator so easy, helpful and thoughtful team. Nadia and Caryn - absolutely stunning professionals!
We rode the trails on the far side of the road and they were very well maintained and easy markers to follow.
If you are a novice rider, watch out for the cantilever bridges (3 of them), aside from that an easy ride with plenty of beautiful scenery.
The gravel road to the venue creates impressions of a run down place.and then.boom.a whole new.like entering another universe through a black hole.absolute tranquil splendour!
Rosemary Hill has a variety of activities to choose from. We did the 11 km hiking trail, which is flat and easy. The trail is mostly single track but some sections of the trail are double track (dirt roads), which is not ideal, since we had to get out of the way for some cars driving on the premises, either to get to their accomodation or to the other activities.
We also came across many mountain bikers during our walk, as the hiking trails and mountain biking trails are in close proximity to each other, and even merge at some points. Because it is quite a popular mountain biking spot, some hikers might find this a bit off-putting.
However, we still enjoyed the farm scenery - it's a bit different from the other hiking venues in Pretoria. I'd love to see all the lavender bushes and rosemary bushes in full bloom, so we will definitely return. We'd also like to interrupt our walk with a brunch at the café during our next visit.
Rosemary Hill is a green lung for the residents of Pretoria City. Walking and Cycling routes abound. You pass through fields of lavender, forests and open fields. After you have finished your walk/cycle you can pop into the restaurant for a tasty breakfast.
Accommodation is amazing. And I can go on and on.but go and see for yourself.
Stayed in the studios:
No hangers for clothing in the unit, the bed was extremely uncomfortable.
The food at the coffee shop was good, the service was poor.
The dirt road to access the facility was poor, the narrow internal roads had large trenches on either side which made driving at night quite precarious.
In the morning the facility is full of cyclists who present an everpresent danger to pedestrians, pets and vehicles alike. And despite the official closing time of 3pm, cyclists continue to ride around until after 5pm without any concern to facility staff.
The hot tub is unusable in the summer sun due to the extreme temperatures.
At the night time event, facility staff only lit the braziers at 10pm
We visited Rosemary Hill for a Segway tour of the farm. While there was a bit of history provided by our guide, I was a bit disappointed. It felt like a marketing tour showing us all their accommodation options. The Segway was quite fun to ride and there was sufficient guidance provided in how to use it. Overall, I wouldn't recommend the tour because I could get the same information from the website.
The place is amazing.just as advertised, if you want to really get away from all the noise, be surrounded by trees in gorgeous cabins, then I highly recommend it.
We stayed in the loft apartment. Beautiful and clean with all the basics. I enjoyed the segway tour around the farm. Food was good. Staff were friendly. Beautiful countryside. Definitely going back. Loved every minute.
I simply loved it
Feels like another world. Must be seen to be experienced. Beautifully decorated room, very Pinterest like. Stunning as a wedding venue. One tip is carry bottled water to drink. Leana from the housekeeping team made our stay extra special and her professionalism and warmth was appreciated greatly!

Should I go on?
Our dogs absolutely love walks here!
Wonderful getaway just a stone throw out of Pretoria but truly feels like you experience that farm life bliss. Beautiful horses to ride and lovely space to take nice early morning walks. Lets get to the accommodation part - there are many options but all have that glamorous edge and if you are into design and tiny home stays you are in for a treat. The restaurant has incredible food and a good variety and the breakfasts are lovely! I will be back many times over!
At wedding, bar staff where missing, we had to help our guests. Tables where not clean in between drinks. With breakfast no one could indicate where we must sit. With braai no glasses of variety drinks we had were on the table. The last breakfast together in hall no milk for porridge or honey. Food is good but salad leaves was a little bit off. The DJ was terrible. A list was given but he didn't play. Full of stories.
Beautiful place with amazing rooms. The products smell amazing had to buy some for home. Breakfast was brilliant too. Highly recommended
The venue is beautiful, I think it's worth visiting in summer rather than winter, if you love scenery, it's a great venue for weddings, the restaurant is extremely slow on Saturdays due to catering for the weddings taking place. Bycle trails available, they have a day care for children (payable of course)
Nice family Vacation we had. Nice friendly staff. Beautiful place The Condo and The Loft, Nice food by the Cafe and The Greenhouse.we will definitely come back again. The Seemela Fam Gang says "It's been Real"
Beautiful scenic place. There are routes for hiking as well as Mount biking. We had breakfast at the Cafe, and they did not disappoint. The food was so yummy. Plus it was a bit cold out so we really enjoyed the fire place. Definitely worth a visit.
