Quaint and quiet property on the outskirts of Graskop. Host was lovely and gracious and welcoming, and provided us with helpful insights for seeing the surrounding area and a great recommendation for a bar/restaurant that was off the beaten track (the "Chubby Pig"). We had a whole "cottage" to ourselves which was more room than we needed but it had nice amenities like a full kitchen and sitting and eating areas. Bed was ok, and we did use the heated blankets! We only stayed one night but it was nice, and we would return. Breakfast was included but we opted to go for the "famous" pancakes at Harry's instead. Graskop was a short drive away and so a car would be essential. Overall nice rural property, not fancy but quite enjoyable.

Que lugar maravilhoso! Logo na chegada fomos recepcionados por 3 cães carinhosos e amistosos. Logo em seguida, Lin (a proprietária) veio nos receber com um largo sorriso no rosto. Como é bom, depois de 5 horaa de estrada, chegar e ter toda a atenção. Feito o check-in, Lin nos mostrou o chalé que ficaríamos e nos deu todas as explicações necessárias para uma ótima estadia. E por falar no chalé, ele superou todas as expectativas, com ótimas camas, aquecimento dos ambientes, espaços amplos impecavelmente arrumados e ainda algumas amenidades deixadas para nós (café, chá e biscoitos maravilhosos feitos por ela). ZUR ALTEN MINE é um local difícil de despedir, mas a viagem tinha que continuar. Tudo foi perfeito, do início a fim. E, se um dia voltarmos a Graskop, com certeza essa será nossa opção. Obrigado Lin pela atenção e carinho.

Hidden gem

We had the cottage closest to the dam. It was absolutely perfect, with the most amazing sunrise view from our bed, which the owner told us about otherwise we would have slept through it. Such a tranquil setting, wish we had more nights than our 2 nights, so we could have had more chill time at the property. Ideal base to explore attractions in surrounding area.

A basic rustic place to unwind

Cool rural place. Not fancy but comfortable. Rustic. We stayed in the cabin with a word burning stove. Basic amenities but clean. Lovely property set back off the road. Lots of monkeys running around.

Perfect Stop before Krueger National Park

Zur Alten Mine is a perfect stop from Johannesburg to Krüger. We had a cute little cottage and heating blankets in the bed for the cold winter nights. The owners, a German couple, gave us plenty of tips for sightseeing along Blyth Canyon and restaurants I’m Graskop. The breakfast was outstanding with homemade bread and jam, cold cuts, fruits and eggs to order. Plenty to eat and a great variety!! A safe stay for families and definitely a place to come back!!
