−Nothing in description about the long bumpy sand road to get to the place. Nothing about spiders and snakes(people need to know this upfront add it to your advertising) The shower is bad-it's either tooo hot or tooo cold nothing in between. Swimming pool and the areas around it were not so well maintained. The onsite shop was none operational.

+Everything. It was very easy to spend the whole day there. Enough facilities to keep you busy and bond with the family.
−Wish there was an easier way to get hot water from the shower. Once it was explained we got the hang of it.

+The host is the best, she is kind and friendly. She helped me set up a birthday surprise for my woman 😍😍
−Would have been best if there was a fire place but that doesn't take anything away from the beauty of the place

+The kids enjoyed the hiking and most importantly they lived the food at the restaurant. It was fresh and tasted amazing. The kids enjoyed Stanley's amazing cheese sauce and cheese burgers. Thank u to Anita as well they where amazing hosts.
−The distance from main roads. As I was there on a chess tournament. We didn't enjoy the resort to it's fullest.

+The host Anita is very friendly and kept on checking us over the entire weekend to check if we were still having a good stay in her chalet, chalet is beautiful with amazing views, very clean and perfect for a lil family. Utopia nature estate is very beautiful, we enjoyed walking trails with nice river views and some baboons and monkeys on the way, play tennis and mini golf was a plus for my children. Would definetly be vising this place again.
−The big swimming pool was not open but we still enjoyed swimminng in the other pool and river pools as well

“Peaceful Getaway in Nature!”
+Bietjie Bos Chalet is a very nice place inside Utopia Nature Estate. It’s only about 30 minutes from Rustenburg and about an hour and a half from Sandton, so it’s not too far from the city. What I liked most is that the chalet is off‑grid, but everything still works well. The solar and battery are strong, and the gas stove and fridge make things easy. No appliances are allowed, but that’s fine because you are in nature and you must live the nature life. I stayed with my daughters, and we were very comfortable. The hiking trails are amazing. There are big common pools and many natural dams from the river where you can swim. There is also putt‑putt, tennis courts, a play area for kids, a restaurant, a chapel, and nice picnic spots. Animals walk around freely, and you can park right at your chalet.
−Some of the common areas in the estate are getting old and need a bit of fixing, like the roads, tennis courts, play area and putt putt area. It would be nice to see these improvements on our next visit. You must keep your windows, curtains, and doors closed because of the monkeys whenever you leave the chalet.

“Very peaceful stay.The host was very responsive when we contacted her.”
+Very peaceful location,responsive host
−There is no mention of conditon of the road access to property on booking.com,road is not easy to navigate.Lukily we drove an all wheel drive car. Gas hot water system for shower,water is either very hot or cold.Stairs to top level of chalet are very steep and not suitable for an elderly person. Tea and coffee canisters in kitchen were empty. Convenience shop on property was closed when we arrived in the afternoon.
