Accommodation Description

Imbabali Retreat & Venue is a peaceful countryside escape nestled at the foot of the Magaliesberg Mountains. Just an hour from Johannesburg or Pretoria, this retreat offers a variety of self-catering options, including three cosy cottages, the Wild Olive Chalet, and the spacious Grapevine House – ideal for romantic breaks, family holidays, and small group getaways.

Each of the three cottages sleeps up to five guests and features two bedrooms, a bathroom, a lounge, and a kitchenette with essential appliances. Private patios, braai areas, and splash pools add to the appeal of these tranquil units.


The Wild Olive Chalet sleeps four guests and offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a fireplace-warmed lounge, and a fully equipped kitchen. The Grapevine House is a double-storey home sleeping eight across four bedrooms and three bathrooms (two en-suite), with an open-plan kitchen, lounge, and dining area – perfect for group stays. All accommodations are serviced daily and guests have access to an on-site restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The retreat is pet-friendly for socialised dogs and offers a wide range of nature-based activities for all ages.
