If you and your family or friends are seeking a private, quiet, and peaceful getaway, then Kokopelli is the perfect destination for you. This enchanting eco-farm offers a tranquil escape into nature, making it an ideal spot for rejuvenation. Nestled within the Magaliesberg Biosphere, Kokopelli is a little piece of paradise brimming with life. Recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2015, this area is part of the Bankenveld, one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. Here, you'll discover a rich variety of flora and fauna, with numerous bird, frog, and butterfly species calling this place home. As you explore, you may encounter small buck, baboons, porcupines, monkeys, squirrels, and rabbits roaming freely across the farm. In the evenings, immerse yourself in the authentic bushveld atmosphere around a crackling fire, where the sounds of lions and jackals from nearby farms blend harmoniously with the chorus of frogs and the brilliance of countless stars on a clear night. Come and experience the magic of Kokopelli, where nature and tranquility await you.
Our four self-catering units are thoughtfully positioned to provide you with a private sanctuary, nestled amidst the tranquil bush. Each unit boasts its own unique character and breathtaking views, ensuring a memorable stay. Explore our scenic walking trails that offer stunning vistas from the ridge and dramatic overhanging rocks that overlook the gorge. As you meander through a patch of indigenous forest, you'll find yourself alongside a refreshing stream, immersed in the beauty of nature. Sharing this revitalizing, natural space and its serene, soul-nourishing effects with guests of all ages brings us immense joy.
