Forestiva Farm is a private nature reserve along the Hennops River and features mountain terrain, grasslands and river frontage. ​We offer accommodation, camping, hiking and host events for nature and wilderness enthusiasts. Located near the top of a mountain in the Magaliesberg Biosphere and overlooking the Hennops River Valley lays a one of a kind off the grid luxurious mountain retreat. Immerse yourself into the wild, relax in a tranquil natural environment and go hunt that thirst for adventure. Removed from any amenities you find yourself free as a bird. Forget the concrete jungle and follow us into the cradle of the Crocodile River Reserve. The self catering off grid luxurious mountain retreat has a large open plan lounge with fire place, dining and kitchen space. It features two bedrooms with large glazing and en-suite bathrooms, an extra guest toilet and an outside shower with splash pool. The spacious layout encompasses a sprawling open plan that seamlessly flows outwards onto wooden decking and into the mountain grasslands. The house epitomizes an indoor-outdoor living, with its open sun deck accessible through stacking and sliding doors. Here, guests can revel in the vastness of the landscape, lounging around the sun deck, braai, or unwind in the splash pool. Mountain Retreat is far removed from any houses with your own private hiking trails and easy access to the top of the mountain with 360 degree scenic views. Accessible by regular car, though we recommend a vehicle with higher clearance for ease of travel, but not necessary if driven carefully. ​Entrance or exit to the property can be an adventure on its own. Depending if the river is flooding, usually only in summer, you might have to access via our back entrance. We will confirm closer to check in if you need to take the alternative route. Forestiva Farm is a nature reserve, there is a possibility you will encounter wildlife, insects, reptiles, etc which we have no control over.

We are a family with a big heart for adventures, conservation, wildlife and a passion for natural healing and recreation of the soul. ​ Our farm provides a space for people to hike, adventure, stay, heal, learn and be inspired to live a more down to earth sustainable life. ​ We inspire active well-being, mindful relaxation, creativity, self sustainability, regenerative farming and accommodate like-minded people from all walks of life.
