Restore your soul in the untamed African bush at Thirsty Falls Nature Retreat in the ancient Magaliesberg.

Thirsty Falls Nature Retreat

Approximately two hours from Gauteng, situated between Magaliesburg and Rustenburg, Thirsty Falls Nature Retreat offers absolute privacy, tranquillity and spectacular views, in the natural bush surrounds of the Magaliesberg mountain.

The Retreat practises and applies permaculture – a diversity of trees, herbs plants and grasses that grow together, encouraging the natural eco systems of nature.

The eco natural water swimming pool is kept clean by a wetland of plants, so no chlorine is added. 

The Retreat features a lapa next to the pool, which is a great place to relax and enjoy the views, and a boma close by, which is ideal for group activities. A TV lounge is at the main farmhouse and a special place for walking and meditation is the Labyrinth. Nature walks around the farm, abundant birdlife, superb sunsets and calls of the wild, add to the enjoyable experience of making memories.

Thirsty Falls can accommodate 20 guests in 7 units.  Each cottage is private and nestles in the fauna and flora of the natural bush.  Sliding doors open onto private balconies with braai facilities and panoramic views.  Each unit has a log fireplace or gas heater, ceiling fan and Wi-Fi.
