Signage needed
The place is great, but hard to find in the dark,
'Turn right at the gum tree' is not useful when, a) there are many gum trees and b) the gum tree is not on the edge of the road.

Something different
we had a fantastic stay.
They decor and design is truly unique and artistic.
It's exactly what we were looking for!
Our only comment would be that the second house is back to back with your neighbors, so it you can literally hear the entire conversations and music.
If you don't mind sharing a space, then it's recommended.

Sweet Rustic
The Elements delivered as promised - big windows, pastoral and mountainous views, horses and cows grazing... Loved the big shower and wish we had the time to use the outdoor pizza oven. Our cat hid away from the free-roaming chickens. Comfy bed, fresh flowers from the garden on arrival. Great place to veg out and to use as a central base for Magalies excursions. Ask host Paul about his innovative and sustainable building methods.

Great getaway.
Great couple nights away from Joburg. Rustic and basic yet clean and tidy. And our pup had a great time exploring.

Best ever weekend
What an amazing place. Off the grid. Quiet. Has a pizza oven :) We had an extremely relaxing stay at The Elements. Thank you very much. Highly recommended.

Ideal for getting away from everything
We had a lovely relaxing 4 days, just enjoying the quiet and recharging.

Rustic
Life off the grid. Interesting to meet Paul and to understand how he has lived off solar and wind power for 12 years, and to experience it all first hand. A very rustic, bachelor experience (i.e. - bare necessities), lovely setting (apart from the workshop store room next door) and good to be away from Jo'Burg. If you like life's little luxuries, this would not be for you, but if you want to get a little closer to living off the land, go for it!

Perfect break away
We had a fantastic stay at The Elements. Its perfect for guests who would like to break away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Taking you back to your roots with only solar heating and a fire to keep you warm, a sunset as your television, perfect nature to get lost in, and the quiet noise of birds and jackals in the evening. Do not expect luxury, but only a place to find yourself again.

Scenic, but...
A lovely scenic place with beautiful walks and views, offering an easy introduction to off-the-grid living. Unfortunately its serene potential and privacy was affected by close proximity to the main house and the noisy activities of the adjacent workshop.

The Element of Surpise
Had a blast, my wife was taken aback at first by the lack of TV and a microwave. By Sunday she admired the place for a lack of TV and its outdoor wood-oven. The views are picturesque, the surrounds serene. Perfect break from the persistent buzz of the city. All you need is a car with good ground clearance and a well planned grocery back.

Awesome breakaway
We had an awesome time at the Elements. It was nice to break away from the city life and just be in the veld. Our dogs also enjoyed it extremely much.

What a tranquil stay
The place is quiet and beautiful and definitely worth a visit. Particularly for a weekend stay or if you want to be couped up in winter. Very Rustic and peaceful.
