Quiet and rest in nature.
We had a great stay in the Stone Chalet. The silence was exactly what we needed. The hiking trail is also very beautiful, you just have to pay attention to the painted footprints.

Here we could leave time and the city behind and absorb nature.
We had a great time relaxing. The chalet had everything we needed for a break from the city. It's a joy to wake up to the chorus of Bushveld ospreys. In the sunset we could watch the fish as they jump for dinner. By dark the barbecue fire was crackling and fireflies entertained us. The privilege of using the walking route allowed us to share in the beautiful scenery of forests, waterfalls and swimming pools.

Tranquility for the soul!
Rhenosterpoort is rest for the soul! Enjoyed the silence so much. Everything you need is available in the chalet. We saw many beautiful birds and big fish in the pond. They are just lazy to bite! If you are looking for a place for peace and quiet, this is the place for you! We did well!

Incredibly beautiful.
The scenery is incredible. The environment is peaceful and quiet. The cell phone is silent. The accommodation is neat and comfortable. I suspect the host already has a good number of guests who have visited him/her more than once.

Nature at its best.
Our spot was beautiful with the view of a dam in front of us and wildlife grazing in the field. The little frogs were my favourite, I love them so much. Service was great, was there at all times if I wanted to know something. Thanks for a nice visit, didn't want to go back home.

Expected better.
The pond is 90% overgrown with aquatic plants and grass, so can't really fish. Electric fencing around the site does not work, and the watering hole and hiking trails are on another property. The toaster and kettle work but look awful. There are no fans, luckily we brought our own. The shower's water builds up when you shower (there is a plunger in the shower!).

Abandoned
Most of the feedback I read about Rhenosterpoort was so good but that was not our impression of the place. Furniture, mattress and linen are old and shabby, there were many cobweb nests on the thatched roof inside the cottage as well as cobweb threads hanging from lights. Shower's water outlet is very slow so it feels very creepy to stand in pooling water especially if there is mildew in the corners and slots of the shower. Under furniture very dusty (I always check to make sure I haven't forgotten things that might have accidentally rolled in there). General impression was that it was dirty. Curtains dusty and dirty, creepy to the touch. We enjoyed the atmosphere of the place, but the facilities - not so much.

Particularly beautiful and comfortable.
We wanted to get away from the city's noise and just spend some quiet time in nature. We got so much more than we expected! The surroundings are beautiful and the stone house is nicely and comfortably equipped. In the morning and evening we saw zebras, nyalas, etc. seen across the pond drinking water. The hiking trails are beautiful and the waterfall swimming hole was refreshing. We saw a lot of other wildlife as we continued along the dirt road. The road was slightly washed out after the rain, but immediately scraped after. Luckily we knew to drive a van and were forewarned. Sharyn received us kindly and was very hospitable. Will go back for sure.

Rhenosterpoort - Stone Chalet 's response
Yes, the last 35 km to our property is a dirt road and especially after heavy rains a high-clearance vehicle is recommended.
Unless you are familiar with the roads in the area, please use the directions we give. We do keep track of the condition of the roads and will advise accordingly.
There is little to no cell phone reception in the area, but there is a Wi-Fi at the farmhouse and guests are welcome to use this if needed.

Beautiful peaceful nature, fresh place.
Too bad they don't inform you about the 40 km dirt road which is not very good and that there is no mobile phone reception. Please get the directions of the owner before you drive, because the entrance to the place is difficult. We couldn't let the owner know that we didn't have power for the whole evening.

Beautiful, peaceful surroundings.
For the price you pay, the chalet needs some renovation work. Guests may also need to be informed that the last bit of dirt road is not really suitable for a small, flat car. There may also be better indications about where exactly reception is. We had a great time around a big fire, and often saw wildlife on the other side of the pond. We will definitely go there again!

It was fantastic!
After a long dusty road, you are greeted with warm country hospitality. The stone chalet provides all the basic necessities. Sharyn overlooked NOTHING. Beds are comfortable and clean, there is a neat bathroom and the kitchenette has a cooking unit with a stove, fridge/freezer, necessary cutlery and cooking utensils. The low grass roof over the porch offers privacy and a cool place to hang out. The view of the Waterberge, the beautiful pond with its reeds, lilies and bird life will take your breath away. In the evening, the fireflies enchant you. At dawn and dusk, a variety of buck species come to greet you. It is an absolute must that you explore one of the hiking trails, take some time and marvel at the unique flora and fauna. This is a real Shangri-La.
