Our stay was perfect and the location, house was stunning.

We really enjoyed staying here. The location was ideal. House beautiful and well-kept. Ilze, our host, was so accommodating and friendly - she even sent us ideas of what to do in Wilderness which was so thoughtful. We would definitely book again and will recommend it happily to all friends and family. Thank you. One point I feel I should mention was when there is loadshedding, there is absolutely no signal in this area, which was a little surprising and challenging as I had to work whilst there.

Pragtig geleë teenaan die rivier met goedversorgde huis wat pragtig afgewerk was.

Vanaf die ontvangs tot die vertrek was die kommunikasie uitstekend. Pragtige beveiligde kompleks en die afwerking van die huis en detail van die inrigting, was uit die boonste rakke. Die beskikbaarheid van 'n kayak was 'n bonus en ons 'ou mense' het soos kinders gevoel om op die rivier te roei. Die mooi hasies wat vry tussen die huise beweeg was 'n plesierige extra.

Beautifully located on the river with well maintained house that was beautifully finished.

From the reception to the departure the communication was excellent. Beautiful secured complex and the finish of the house and detail of the establishment, was top notch. The availability of a kayak was a bonus and us 'oldies' felt like children paddling the river. The beautiful bunnies that move freely between the houses were a pleasant extra.

We enjoyed our stay. River view was perfect, pity about the N2 being so close.

We enjoyed our visit with family and friends at At Rest. Weather was amazing, canoeing was great fun. Cabin was well equipped and our host Ilse was professional and friendly. On the downside, The N2 is close and the traffic runs right through the night. We also found the upstairs bathroom setup inpractical. We recommend a sliding door on the master bedroom for privacy.

Beautiful view over the river.

At Rest has an amazing view over the river, however, when making the booking, you are not made aware of the fact that the back of the house is very near to the N2 and therefore noisy day and night. The house is well fitted with everything you need, however, we are convinced that our bed linen was not washed after the previous guests slept there, the blankets offered to cover your legs while sitting on the deck smell of dog and the dish drying rack is slimy and full of mould.

At Rest 's response

I have no control over the opinions of guests, but I suggest you read a few reviews to make up your mind.
Regards,
Hendrik Marx

Gerieflike eenheid.

Die eenheid is gerieflike en ruim. Baie mooi uitsig en naby die see. Ons het ons kuier daar baie geniet. Let wel dat die N2 se verkeer hoorbaar is, siende dat dit naby die eenheid verbyloop. Baie dankie vir 'n lekker oorbly.

Heerlik gekuier met pragtige uitsigte. Baie mooi, netjiese huis.

Ek sou die boonste hoofslaapkamer toemaak voor die badkamer sodat die kleiner kamer ook 'n badkamer het sonder dat die hoofslaapkamer binnegegaan moet word. Ek sou 'n kleiner pan met deksel ook waardeer.

Netjies, alles wat jy nodig het en lieflike ligging.

Vriendelike diens, netjies en gerieflik. Daar is alles wat jy nodig het om gemaklik en lekker te kuier. Die uitsig is absoluut pragtig. Ons het saam met ons volwasse kinders daar gekuier en dit sal help as daar 'n deur in die hoofslaapkamer is, sodat die tweede badkamer gebruik kan word sonder om die privaatheid van die hoofkamer te steur. Maar ten spyte daarvan was dit waarde vir geld en sal ons beslis weer daar gaan kuier!

Neat, everything you need and a lovely location.

Friendly service, neat and comfortable. Everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay is there. The view is absolutely beautiful. We were there with our adult children and it would help if there is a door in the main bedroom so that the second bathroom can be used without disturbing the privacy of the main room. But in spite of that, it was value for money and we will definitely go there again!

Perfect, tranquil retreat.

Everything was perfect, warm and efficient. We felt welcome, beautiful surroundings, the house was spotless, tastefully decorated with all possible accessories (much more than the average self-catering place), very spacious. We loved the river and the canoe was a welcomed bonus: we paddled up and down the quiet river with the kids. Just at the entrance of the estate there's a restaurant, SPAR nearby and the beach is just across the main road. Really enjoyed our stay.

Wow!

Ons gesin het vir amper 2 weke by At Rest gebly. Die plek het alle verwagtinge oortref en was absoluut heerlik. Dit bestaan uit 3 netjiese kamers en 2 badkamers. Die plek is baie mooi gemeubileerd en daar was ook volledige DStv beskikbaar. Wat dit die beste maak, is dat dit deel is van 'n klein plek met direkte toegang tot die rivier. Die kinders het ure lank in die rivier geswem en van die treinbrug afgespring, sowel as boot en kano gery. Daar is 'n kano ingesluit by die eenheid en durf beslis die roei aan tot in die berge. Dis voorwaar die moeite werd! Kommunikasie was baie goed van die begin tot die einde. Ons het absoluut heerlik gebly en sal graag weer in die toekoms daar bly. Ek kan die plek met 'n geruste hart aanbeveel!

Ongelooflike lekker wegbreek-vakansie in 'n pragtige huis reg op die Touwsrivier - hemels!

Ek en my man het saam met my ouers by At Rest gebly vir 6 nagte en dit was ongelooflik. Die huis is volledig toegerus met alles wat mens ooit kan nodig hê - ons het selfs 'n lekker skaappotjie gemaak met die huis se swart potjie! Die huis is baie luuks en die ligging op die Touwsrivier maak dit besonders rustig. Ons het ons skoene uitgeskop en van al ons sorge vergeet. Dit was ook baie lekker om op die rivier te roei en Wildernis self is 'n baie oulike dorpie met heerlike restaurantjies. Ons sal enige dag weer gaan en kan dit vir enigeen aanbeveel.

Unbelievably nice getaway holiday in a beautiful house right on the Touws River - heavenly!

My husband and I stayed at At Rest with my parents for 6 nights and it was amazing. The house is fully equipped with everything one could ever need - we even made a nice sheep pot with the house's black pot! The house is very luxurious and the location on the Touws River makes it particularly peaceful. We kicked off our shoes and forgot about all our worries. It was also very nice to row on the river and Wildernis itself is a very cute town with delicious restaurants. We would go again any day and can recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful service, very safe. Very small complex .

Accommodation provided was excellent. My only negatives are: the complex is small. One has to use the car to go anywhere in the Wilderness area. Launching a canoe from where we stayed was very difficult because of the extremely steep bank.
