Incredibly relaxing.
The nature, birds and water that you hear running does one's soul so much good. I would just suggest that they replace the seats on the benches — sit very deep and on the springs.

A place where your soul can rest.
We were four adults visiting in the winter. The fantastic view, spacious rooms and fireplace were good for rest and relaxation. It was too cold to braai on the stoep. It would help if you could bring your own dry wood as the resort only had wet wood. Our hostess was quick and helpful when we had problems with hot water. Highly recommend. Just remember that regular sedan cars with low suspension can't actually drive there.

Went for a drive around the pot, so only been at home in the evenings.
Reception was very friendly and immediately came to greet and provide necessary information - cottages were nice and clean, grateful for wood and lightning at both fireplace and barbecue area. Wish we could have been there more during the day, the scenery around the river is exceptional, we are already planning our summer break with friends so we can make better use of the pool/braai areas. Just some constructive criticism: there were rats/mice in one of the houses, we live on a small holding so know that houses in the field area tend to get visitors - maybe just look at it. Batteries in one of the remote bearers look like a dog chewed them. The sofas in our little house are a bit worn out - maybe time for new ones. (Kilimanjaro).

Beautiful, breathtaking, but a bit dangerous too.
I will definitely return. It's very beautiful. All problem was signal and I'm Vodacom. Which is very weird. Because Vodacom always works, even if it is loadshedding. Difficulty now and then to get hold of reception for assistance. There was a snake by the outdoor shower. So I would recommend that the bushes around the house should be removed a bit, that's up to the house's walls. And the water prevented one from being able to bathe because it is brown and cold because it works with gas. So there is a shortage of hot water. But I love the place apart from those mistakes. The dirt road up there and up to the houses is terrible. So next time I have to come with a 4x4, because a normal standard car will definitely get hurt on the dirt road and also the road from reception to your house. But still I love Aloe️.

Quiet and relaxing with a beautiful view of the river.
We had a great time at Aloe Ridge. Drakenberg was so to speak perfect with the lovely fireplace, braai and pool on the deck. The en suite bathrooms are stylishly done. Only downside was that one of the rooms' bathroom's water was only hot for a few minutes and then it became freezing cold. So we then had to abandon our en suite idea and share a bathroom with our friends.

Great getaway from the city hustle and bustle but with all the luxuries you could desire.
The place is really tasteful and luxurious, with everything you could want for a nice, luxurious getaway from the hustle and bustle. The last stretch on your way to reception, however, the road is very bad and I would not recommend it for a regular sedan, which does not have high ground clearance. The only negative comment I could make is that the gas ran out the night after the cut-off time for calling the maintenance staff so we couldn't use the stove or hot water for the shower the next night and next morning.

The location of the houses is unbeatable and the swimming pool definitely a big plus.
Thank you for a wonderful breath-taking weekend in nature away from the city's hustle and bustle. The house is really well equipped with all household appliances that one needs for a nice break and the private pool is of course a big plus. Chané's friendliness and helpfulness from the time she welcomed us to our departure was also excellent. Just note, as mentioned in the ad, that the last kilometer or so of dirt road is not suitable for a car with very low ground clearance, although I experienced no problems with a Toyota Avanza.

Thanks for all the wood that is part of the discussion. Service was excellent, Cherne helped us very well and the house is extremely beautiful, luxurious and comfortable. The ice in the freezer is also a bonus. Here we could switch off and relax. Nice walking trails along the river if you are tired and rested. You have to take the dirt road slowly with a normal low car, but it's worth it!

Rooms are convenient and clean, and the kitchen or living room is equipped with everything you may need.

Stunning view of the hills and the river. Just sad that the water level is so low. Swimming pool, inside and outside the house all clean. Although there was one tap with a filter to purify water for drinking, we recommend that you bring your own drinking water too. Drive slowly with your vehicle. We can't say anything else negative about Aloe Ridge, because it was great! Thanks!

It was out of season and we paid lower rates. Love the houses, but the cutlery needs some attention (make sure it is clean) - previous guests don't always do the dishes properly. Braai grills were rusty, we couldn't use them (needs attention) and the gas geyser in the main bedroom doesn't function properly - got the idea that the lady knew about all of this. That said, we had a very nice time, very comfortable, lovely pool at each house. Pay Aloe Ridge as visit.
