Reviews for The Retreat at Groenfontein

Review 1:It really is away from it all. 20 kms of unmade road, no mobile phone signal.

Review 2:Wish we'd been able to stay longer to enjoy the tranquillity of the Retreat. Dinner on the verandah with the owner and fellow guests a real treat. Walks on marked trails through the local area.

Review 3:The decor was tired. No wi fi drove me nuts. I couldn't get it to work even in the reception area. The fact that there was no mobile phone coverage. A bit out of the way for an overnight stop on our journey to Plett.

Review 4:The rural nature. Interacting with the other guests during the communal dining. The rustic charm.

Review 5:It is a long way to drive on an unmade road to get there - which could be a bit unsettling for some visitors. Possibly far too quiet for children/young teenagers.

Review 6:The lodges were large and comfortable, with a huge bathroom and fabulously powerful shower; it was a cold night, so we lit our African wood burner, which heated the area beautifully. The food was good, Marie a very interesting hostess, the company mixed guests, which made for some good conversation. The location is very isolated, and restfully peaceful. Huge variation in birdlife!

Review 7:lovely spot , great hosts, great service and good hospitality.

Review 8:Great location. Fantastic dinner with the other guests...just perfect!

Review 9:Location, Welcoming hosts, good facilities and good food.

Review 12:Nothing not to like

Review 13:Excellent accomodation, delicious food, tranquil breath-taking scenery We will definitely be back!

Review 14:Bed bugs and the owners attitude to our problem. Being charged for 5 glasses of wine instead of one bottle.

Review 15:Dinner with other guests.

Review 16:Dogs should not be allowed in the house, especially not on the dining room, never whilst the guests are having a meal

Review 17:Excellent location.

Review 18:It's better to have an 4x4 to get there:-)

Review 19:Nice dinner and breakfast on the veranda, friendly owners, beatiful landscape and hiking routes

Review 20:The dam (for swimming), the birds at breakfast, the mountain views and the meals.

Review 21:Warm hospitality, first class catering and good company in an unparalleled setting.
