The Bird House Bed and Breakfast

The Bird House Bed and Breakfast is a beautiful five-bedroomed guest house situated in the Cradle of Mankind, a short drive from Magaliesburg and Hartbeespoort, and a mere 30 minutes drive from Johannesburg or Pretoria.

Accommodation is offered in five individually decorated rooms. Because we have so many birds that frequent the property and because we enjoy them so much; each room has been named after and decorated in the colours of one of the many interesting birds to be found at The Trees Venue. The rooms are large and all have lovely views of the garden where you can watch the birds and possibly spot your rooms namesake bird. Each room is en suite and features a hospitality tray.

The bed and breakfast is family-owned and run, and our aim is to make you feel at home, to enjoy our family home as much as we did when we filled it. Buy or swap a book from our library, park-off in the window seat in your room, a chair in the garden, a couch on the shady verandah or a bench on the sunny one and listen to the birds.

  • "Noise and unkempt rooms, premises"

    03 November 2015

    "I was booked at this facility on Friday Nov 30th, 2015. Slept overnight (hardly a wink) where the noise levels from upstairs were unbearable. The wooden floors (our roof/ceiling as we occupied ground floor) made so much noise whenever the occupants walked about - all night. The beds are archaic, uncomfortable and noisy. The breakfast area was equally dirty and very limited options for none pork (bacon), egg eaters (Hallal). The R750 rates don't match the service and I will hardly recommend this place. Neither will I visit again"

    24 March 2014

    "The Bird House B&B was a great stay. It is so close to JHB, and you do feel that you are away from the hustle and bustle. We had dinner at a restaurant nearby- which was great, and breakfast the next morning was amazing! Tasmin went out of her way to help us with any queries we had. The room we stayed in was spotless. Really enjoyed everything about it! Thank you!"

    27 January 2014

    "We really enjoyed our stay. It was very quiet and private and we were totally undisturbed by other people.But at night there were too many dogs that barked and kept us up - that would be my only complaint.Breakfast was fantastic and the owners are wonderful people who cater to their client's needs."
