The Ranch near Polokwane was our last night of a 14 day trip with 36 friends. The management was very helpfull and gave our group the exclusive use of the Golf club venue and accommodation. Kenny in the Club Resurant put on a great barbecue for us and our last night together was a very pleasant affair. The rooms are... More

We enjoyed our long weekend at The Ranch, a few issues regarding prices though all in all very good stay. Very clean all over, pretty gardens and lovely big rooms and bathrooms. Issues I had was the price of food (ridiculous in Basils) even though the food was good, presentation good, service good. The Buttery was okay price-wise and their... More

We stayed at THE RANCH for a weekend in February and to this day cannot stop talking about the wonderful service that we received. We were welcomed to THE RANCH and treated special from the minute we got out of our car until when we departed. (unfortunately our stay was much too short but we will return). We want to... More

Accommodation : Comfortable rooms, bit dated with chairs in my room (38) frayed and one torn. Very clean though with tea station, working desk, leisure chairs etc. Make a point though to request your bedding configuration in advance of arriving. Dining : Room service needs speeding up , food arrives cold/lukewarm, a bit strange that room service refused to exchange... More

Spent an amazing weekend in one of their new Golf Course Chalets. Absolutely awesome for families looking to escape the city during the week or weekend. We've been to The Ranch a number of times and every single time it impresses. The staff are helpful, the food is delicious and their breakfasts are not to be missed. I haven't yet... More

We stayed in a 2 bedroom in the golf area, having flown into Polokwane on the way to a safari in Botswana. It had been a long day of flying, and the Ranch was a welcome respite. The rooms were great, the pools were great, the food at the restaurants was fine, it was all very good. The tours are... More

What a beautiful place this is! One can tell the "pride" of the family that runs this establishment from the personal, intimate care thta is taken of the property and the accommodation. By far, the main attraction, and the reason for my 1 night stay, was the "Walk with Lions" tour. This tour is conducted in the early morning (7am),... More
