I recently had the pleasure of spending my vacation with partner at Basil’s Boma, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The peaceful surroundings, breathtaking mountain views, and beautiful natural setting made it the perfect getaway from the busy city life. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed to provide both privacy and relaxation. I especially enjoyed the tranquil atmosphere, outdoor spaces, and the opportunity to reconnect with nature. The host was warm, welcoming, and went out of their way to ensure that every part of our stay was enjoyable. Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape, a quiet retreat, or simply a place to relax and recharge, I highly recommend Basil’s Boma. The combination of excellent hospitality, stunning scenery, and peaceful surroundings makes it a hidden gem. I left feeling refreshed and can’t wait to visit again in the future.

After quite a tough year so far, we were looking forward to a quiet, stress-free and peaceful breakaway. And that's exactly what we got. Joanne has created a well thought out, safe, private & beautiful bush getaway that provides you with a deluxe & comfy king size 4 poster bed, an all boxes ticked rustic bathroom, a crystal clear mini pool, a braai & bonfire area, and the most relaxing recliner rocking chairs you've ever watched the sunset on. All the things most other hosts forget, Joanne has considered.

We had the most relaxing and comfortable stay at the Potters Shed!! Just a hour out of Joburg, the place had everything you need. We had a great time. Joanne is such a lovely host - very very helpful. Her energetic and kind nature really topped off a great weekend away.

We really loved this quaint little rustic outdoor stay at the Potter's Shed, which was exactly what we needed to detach from reality and rest and relax. It was very clean and well kept. The beds are comfortable and warm. There are more appliances available to you then what is listed on the site. We loved our stay and would definitely return in summer to use the cold plunge pool.

If you want peace and quite, visit Basil's Boma. My husband and I had a wonderful time. Close enough to all kinds of activities and far enough for relaxation. Thank you to Joanna!

Stayed at The Potter's Shed with another couple after a booking at another venue was unexpectedly cancelled. This was a lovely and spacious unit that is very well stocked with everything you require for self catering. A lot of love and care has been taken to ensure guest's stay is comfortable and the privacy was highly appreciated. Joanne was very welcoming and accommodating, showing us everything we needed for our stay and then left us to enjoy the peace and tranquility. Will definitely visit again, thank you Joanne.
