I absolutely loved it and hope to spend many more of my birthdays here!
An incredible view and amazing house with a layout designed for big groups. We had a blast and enjoyed the fireplaces a lot. Lots of comfy seating and the bar adds a nice touch. The views from the bedrooms made my guests' day!
Kitchen can be better equipped but we decided on pre-made meals for the one night and a delicious burger braai the other. Braai facilities are also fantastic.

Don't rent this property - it needs serious repairs, maintenance and love.
Highland Gate was wonderful as always and one of the few places close to Gauteng where a very large group can go for a long weekend.
DON'T RENT THIS PROPERTY - IT IS NOT UP TO STANDARD FOR HIGHLAND GATE.
We rented 'the entire house' - which is marketed as 8 bedrooms. However, there are only 7 bedrooms inside the house and the helper's room marketed as the '8th room'; it is not up to standard for guests paying the same price as everyone else to sleep out the backdoor in a tiny room, with a small window with a view of the service yard next to the black bin.
The property is in dire need of maintenance:
- Dishwasher, stove and toaster does not work / only partially works
- Furniture looks good until you sit on it and realise it needs to be reupholstered
- Mattresses are old, needs to be replaced and not suitable for an adult to sleep on
- Damp repair and repainting needs to be done on the interior of the property
- Blinds and curtains in some of the rooms are not working
- Many of the plates, cups and glasses are chipped
There was no communication from the host prior to arrival. Access codes were required for every vehicle and the first to arrive waited 20 minutes at the gate while we tried to reach the host and for codes to be sent. Same issue upon departure - some of the guests' codes already expired and could not exit. The host was unreachable and guests waited at the gate for 25 minutes for a security supervisor to come and 'open' so that they could depart.
As a frequent visitor to Highland Gate we rented this property because of its size - it is spacious and the size and layout was perfect for our very large group. However, the state of the property and the frustration of entry and exit, a stove of which all the burners don't work and the guests who stayed in the 'domestic room' left a sour taste.

Horrible.
Nothing
Host didn't know the property was booked.
Dirty towels.
Property was not cleaned and is not well maintained.
Bedrooms were very cold as there is a broken sliding door leading to bedrooms.
Tried to communicate with management via booking.com messaging and no response.
We booked for two nights but we had to leave very early in the morning after our 1st night

Beautiful views and nice estate with excellent golf coarse. The house is massive and is more for conference purposes rather than groups of friends or family. The beds and furniture are comfortable.
The communication with the host is average at best. The house really needs some attention. The sliding doors are stuck. Theres very little utensils. No wine bottle opener, no braai grid. Poor braai tongs. There are other people on the property with you. They were also confused as to sharing a property. Again due to poor communication from the host. The kitchen cupboards are falling apart. The cleaning staff are really not friendly. Probably contacted out but really not friendly
