Retief Guest Farm is a must visit destination for the discerning traveller.

We had an outstanding overnight stay at this exquisite 1915 sandstone manor augmented with lovely, well-designed and built cottages. The interior is exquisitely curated and appointed with period antiques, tiles, ceilings and finished with tasteful art. Spotlessly clean and well managed by our hostess, who went out of her way to make our stay memorable and as comfortable as possible. We were served a delicious home-cooked dinner presented with the most beautiful period crockery and cutlery. Retief Guest Farm is a must visit destination for the discerning traveller. Will be back in three weeks and as often as our road trips take us past there. Five star!

Lekker, huislik, netjies, snoesig en goeie gashere.

Hierdie was ons 2de besoek aan Retief Guest Farm, ons het baie lekker gebly en heerlik geslaap! Die kamer/eenheid is pragtig en baie netjies en ons was lekker warm gedurende die koue aand danksy die kaggel, warmwatersakke en elektriese komberse. Petro het seker gemaak ons het alles wat ons nodig het en het is baie dierbaar. Julle sien ons vir seker weer!

Nice, homely, neat, cozy and good hosts.

This was our 2nd visit to Retief Guest Farm, we had a great stay and slept wonderfully! The room/unit is beautiful and very neat and we were nice and warm during the cold evening thanks to the fireplace, hot water bottles and electric blankets. Petro made sure we had everything we needed and is very dear. You will see us again for sure!

Lekker, rustig, netjies, waarde vir geld.

Ons verblyf in die selfsorgeenheid was heerlik! Die plekkie is pragtig netjies en goed toegerus vir die koue weer. Die kinders het 'n lekker snoesige bed gemaak op die slaapbank. Retief Guest Farm is gerieflik naby die N1 geleë met 'n lekker, rustige plaas atmosfeer. Ek sal verblyf hier vir seker aanbeveel.

Nice, quiet, neat, value for money.

Our stay in the self-catering unit was wonderful! The place is beautifully neat and well equipped for the cold weather. The children made a nice cozy bed on the sleeper couch. Retief Guest Farm is conveniently located near the N1 with a nice, peaceful farm atmosphere. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Lekker plaas gevoel en naby die N1 vir reisigers.

Die gasteplaas is perfek geleë vir mense wat op reis is op die N1. Naby Kroonstad en 1,4 km vanaf die N1, net genoeg om nie padgeraas te hoor nie. Jy kan daar langer bly as net een nag, soos ons. Daar is 'n swembad en 'n goed ingerigte braai kompleks waar jy kan braai en televisie kyk, en dit kan ook gebruik word as 'n venue vir troues. Die mense is baie vriendelik en het ons gulhartig ontvang. Dit is lekker mense en jy voel sommer tuis. Dit is veilig daar en ek sal definitief in die toekoms weer daar gaan bly. Ons het reeds die plek aanbeveel vir van ons vriende.

Nice farm feel and close to the N1 for travelers.

The guest farm is perfectly located for people traveling on the N1. Close to Kroonstad and 1.4 km from the N1, just enough to not hear road noise. You can stay there for more than just one night, like we did. There is a swimming pool and a well-equipped braai complex where you can braai and watch television, and it can also be used as a venue for weddings. The people are very friendly and welcomed us generously. They are nice people and you just feel at home. It is safe there and I will definitely stay there again in the future. We have already recommended the place to some of our friends.

Dit was ek wil nie gery het nie lekker.

Ons was vier pensionarisse (my broer en skoonsuster was saam met ons). Ons het al by 'n hele paar die webtuiste-plekke gebly, maar julle kry verseker volpunte! Almal was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Dit was so lekker by julle dat ons sommer nog 'n dag langer gebly het. Ons was sommer hartseer om julle te groet. Ons sal julle verseker aanbeveel by almal. Liefde, Dolf, Koekie, Willem en Dora

It was nice, I don't want to drive.

We were four pensioners (my brother and sister-in-law were with us). We have stayed at quite a few of the website places, but you definitely get full marks! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. It was so nice with you that we stayed an extra day. We were sad to say goodbye to you. We will definitely recommend you to everyone. Love, Dolf, Koekie, Willem and Dora

Very welcoming arrival and excellent accommodation.

The room we stayed in was spotless, very well kitted out, and comfortable. We were exhausted by the time we got to our room after many hours of driving, and this was just what we needed for a good night's rest. Thanks, Petro, for a friendly welcome and chat - you are a star! We will gladly refer others to you and will be back ourselves too! Wish it was closer to Pretoria, as it is ideal for small functions. Keep it up!

Bed and breakfast and general experience all 100.

Above average room with nice bed / shower / kitchen / good coffee and DSTV and silence and no other people nearby and can walk around the grounds. Secluded and not like a regular room in city/town so worth the effort the 5 minutes out of town would not choose another one if in that direction again.

Pragtige kamers en 'n warm ontvangs ontvang!

Ons het baie lekker daar oorgebly. Die gasvrou het ons so welkom laat voel en het selfs die kamers vir ons lekker warm gemaak voor ons koms. Die kamers was baie mooi en netjies. Sal vir seker weer daar oornag en dit vir ander voorstel!

Stil, rustig en mooi om jou. So 'n genotvolle verblyf is amper 'n waarborg.

Dit was net 'n oorslaap, maar 'n baie, baie lekker oorslaap. As 'n mens op so 'n mooi plek kom, wil jy altyd net daardie bietjie meer tyd hê om alles in te neem, maar dit is nie altyd moontlik nie.

Quiet, peaceful and beautiful around you. Such an enjoyable stay is almost a guarantee.

It was just a sleepover, but a very, very nice sleepover. When you come to such a beautiful place, you always just want that little bit more time to take it all in, but it's not always possible.
