Sable Ranch is situated just off the R96 close to Hekpoort in the Magaliesburg mountain region. Only approximately 80km (1Hour) away from Johannesburg makes this trail an easy reach for the entire family to enjoy a day out in Mother Nature. The trail is open on weekends and public holidays and you can hike at very reasonable tariffs. it is R70pp and R30 for children. Sable Ranch

Our hiking weekend away was to put to rest, COVID 19, and all the stress it comes with, so we decided on some time away. I came across Sable Ranch overnight accommodation and immediately WhatsApp the number. I received the quickest response with information and pictures. Booked and confirmed with a deposit for a few weeks ahead and had to postpone due to unforeseen circumstances, Marilie was quick to respond and said no problem we will gladly accommodate you on another date. It's a perfect place and caters for couples but when I mentioned family, Marilie gladly made arrangements for my kids to be comfortable, even though it's not a place for kids. We arrived at this beautiful place, everything her pictures showed us with soothing views of blissful peace and nature's perfection matched perfectly. Marilie was at our room, warm and welcoming, she said she is available anytime if we need anything at all. She gave us information about the food and entertainment, especially for the kids and we took every bit of it and really enjoyed the day. My scent of smell is so sensitive and the first thing I sniff is the beddings and towels when I'm away and when I did that this time, I smelt the freshness and cleanliness, I felt comfortable, it felt home. I could lay my head down for a peaceful night's sleep. The amount of the accommodation including hiking, we went hiking in their property across the street called Noble Village, this hike was our most challenging hike as a family since starting our new hobby, my oh my, top of the mountains was the most glorious views, I've ever seen in our Country, with the sounds of quad bikes and then a few 4x4 on their trails, it was exhilarating. We sat down at Noble Village Restaurant and had a quick bite to eat, a meaty pizza that had enough meat to satisfy my carnivore family...LOL Noble Village has so much to offer for families, my kids loved it. Coming from the person that never liked the outdoors all her life, this place and its traits were amazing, to take me by the heart and fall in love with nature and all of her beauty. You want adventure, some challenging hikes and a serene place to kick of your shoes and watch the sunset, I strongly recommend this gem, Sable Ranch Hiking Trail & Overnight Accommodation together with Noble Village, across the street, Look no further!

Rustig is a gem for the nature lover, hiker or just for someone that wants to break away from the city life. We went for a hike in the pictures mountain and came back to relax for a wonderful picnic in the beautiful gardens. The staff is very friendly and helpful and go out of their way to help you. The amenities is great with clean restrooms, swimming pool, restaurant, picnic spots and overnight facilities. WE WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK.
