Very quiet, clean and tidy place for a getaway if you are looking for peace and quiet.
The path up to the cottage is a bit challenging, but not difficult at all if you have the right vehicle. Would highly recommend the place, especially if you are an outdoor enthusiast.

Wegbreek vir stilte, goed, maar met 'n gesin nie so 'n goeie idee nie.

Getting away for quiet, fine, but with a family not such a good idea.
Firstly, the dirt road is not very comfortable, no car will be able to drive there safely, secondly, their privacy in bathrooms is not good at all, windows are not shaded, curtains are completely transparent. No coffee or sugar put out, at least I made provision, but we travel often, it just gives a welcome feeling on arrival. No atmosphere-creating lights outside, pitch black! No security on the farm either, makes you uneasy.

Mountain View Retreat 's response
Possible clients are well informed before they commence to do the booking. We are a retreat and not a guesthouse or a lodge.

Cleanest clean place in the "bush". Calm atmosphere, I don't like big dogs, but the Great Danes are so calm and don't bother you at all. Great visit, looking forward to the next time.

Very basic equipped, short renovation.
For those who are satisfied with the minimum, this will suffice. We love dogs, but it bothers you when everyone rushes into your place. Very nice view and lovely silence, but some places need a bit of renovation. After all, we slept nice and warm on a bitterly cold weekend.

Andre is a very friendly and helpful person. He welcomed us and explained everything and checked in every day to see if we were still satisfied. The resort is very neat, as are the cottages we stayed in. We really can't complain about anything. Will definitely go and relax there again.

Beautiful and peaceful environment.
We found a neat and comfortable place. Our no. 2 house was unfortunately at the playground and the children of no. 3 and 4 were there all the time. Our Yorkies couldn't handle the screams and games. They barked a lot and were well behaved towards the other dogs, which we do not know. They always go with us when we are on vacation and are used to other dogs. We went away every day. Next time we will ask for no. 7 or 8 so we can be away from the playground.

I really enjoyed it, and will sleep there again.
It was only after we had booked that it was explained to us that a further R300 deposit must be paid which will then be refunded electronically. Such information must already be mentioned in the advertisement. It feels like a cow being milked. Other than that, I really enjoyed it.

The view is nice, but the housing is not luxurious at all. Was very hot, had to buy a fan.
The caretaker is friendly, but a bit of a nuisance. It is a very peaceful environment. Beautiful view and many birds. Amenities are very neglected.

The owners are hospitable and went out of their way to accommodate us.
We were received very kindly and nothing was too much for the owners to make us comfortable. We were there with our grandchildren but it was raining a lot so the children were indoors and got bored, then the owners came to our rescue by making their children's toys and games available. We will definitely go back again and would highly recommend Mountain View Retreat.

Wonderfully peaceful among the mountains.
Although not luxurious, we had a wonderful stay. Beds very comfortable. Wimpie communicated from the start on how to get there. Very close to Badplaas and suitable for day visit. We felt very welcome and could switch off from the hustle and bustle of the city. If we are in the area, we will definitely stay here again.

Good, clean, quiet and safe accommodation for a short period or long weekend.
Very good telephone and email service with directions. Friendly welcome in the evening upon our arrival there. The chalet was neat and clean. The geyser was apparently specially turned on beforehand, but still cold water late at night. Then my clever man found the switch (which was in the "off" position, pushed it "on" and voila, hot water! It's the ideal place for a quiet weekend or a few days away from the city bustle. The dirt road up was just badly washed out and full of bumps and rocks and caused damage to the vehicle's tyres.Nevertheless enjoyed the view, quietness and safety.
