Rest for the soul.
This rondavel has the most beautiful view and location. It overlooks a beautiful river and mountains. The rondavel is nice and secluded and away from other people so it's private. It is the perfect place to come and switch off from the everyday hustle and bustle. For the more adventurous, the mountains are there to climb, so bring your hiking boots and hat. The owners are very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful scenery and very private.
Perfect if you want to get away from the business and noise of the city and prefer nature to luxury. A bit caught off guard by the absence of a fridge but made a plan with the freezer. Facilities a bit neglected but the scenery and beautiful walking trails more than make up for it.

Quiet. Restful. Most beautiful nature along the Bells River.
Although we didn't have power, the owner made sure we had enough flashlights. And enough wood for the donkey. And a gas freezer.

Very peaceful, secluded holiday accommodation, beautiful scenery, very helpful host.
I will book here again on my next trip through the Eastern Cape. The median of the main road to Amanzi Empilo was high for my flat car, but by driving carefully you can get there.

Escape from reality.
This was an absolutely incredible experience. Perfect location, with an indescribable view. Although the unit did not have power, everything was perfectly appointed - regardless of the cold. Solar lights, gas heaters, thick blankets, donkey for hot water. It was the perfect family getaway. Board games by candlelight. We would go again anytime!

Very peaceful and beautiful.
The bungalow is comfortable, clean and just nice. The path to the bungalow is suitable for tall vehicles, an ordinary car will struggle, also the steps from the car parking to the bungalow are for fit people because it is steep. Furthermore, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it. Surroundings are beautiful and peaceful.

Amanzi Empilo Bungalow was fantastic! The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful. Break away from everything: TV, phone and people were wonderful. Just the charging of my camera's battery was a challenge without power. Recommend the place and the people of Grace Hill farms with love.

It was amazing to be so one with nature.
It is a beautiful place and the surroundings are very beautiful. We really enjoyed Naude's Nek pass. Hostess was very kind and has the delicious cookies she sells in the shop. The "bungalow" is beautiful and well equipped. With the fact that there is no power, one can enjoy the silence and nature much more.

Peaceful and quiet (except for the stream) with views across the stream and mountain. Away from it all.
Very neat and quiet for those who want to escape the city. The bungalow with its views of the river and mountain give such a sense of peace and privacy that is not easy to find. The facilities are perfect for one's needs - solar lights, gas and a donkey for hot water. If I could upgrade something it would be the shower head. Sitting on the patio overlooking the mountain, river and sheep is something you don't get to experience every day.

Beautiful surroundings where you become part of the natural beauty, and the simplicity of the rondavel that makes you long for your Grandma.
It's the ideal getaway for a family willing to share an open-plan rondavel with a double bed and bunk beds. It's a challenge to master the solar lights and the donkey for hot water, but it works! In the end, a wonderful bonding experience. The farm shop has everything you need from roast beef to biscuits. The surroundings are fairytale beautiful, with the clearest stars and the only noise is the babbling of the Bell River stream.

Fantastiese ligging maar kragvoorsiening en warm water lei tot 'n mate van ongerief.

Fantastic location but power supply and warm water led to some inconvenience.
A very well located facility that is clean and tidy. Unfortunately, the carport spoils the view and poor lighting spoils the overall stay. The fact that there is only a freezer facility is also problematic.

Peaceful, natural beauty.
What a lovely honeymoon! Peaceful, remote and beautiful! Truly self-catering, enjoyed firing up the donkey for hot water. The place is well equipped against the cold and everything works! The gas and solar power add to the romantic atmosphere. Would suggest deckchairs so that one can watch the stars and maybe even get a telescope that one might hire. The stars are really incredible!

The drive here prepares you for the seclusion, peace and beauty of this world. The location of this cabin makes you part of nature immediately. There are no frills here, but you don't miss anything. Everything you need is provided. Hot water and spotless bedding make it a lovely experience.

We really enjoyed the time in Rhodes. The stay at Empilo was wonderful. We love the silence, beautiful views and the spacious indoor and outdoor area. The stove from the donkey and solar lights give such a farm atmosphere! A mountain hut thousand.
