Heerlike selfsorg/troeteldier-vriendelike verblyf met spasie vir die hele gesin.

Eerste indrukke is blywend. Kan met 'n geruste hart aanbeveel as selfsorgverblyf/troeteldier-vriendelik. Het die ruimte binne, buite en op die braaistoep vreeslik geniet. Kommunikasie met die gasvrou was vinnig na bespreking daar tot en met uitboek, inligting oor die omgewing en wat om te besoek is ook gedeel.

Lovely self-catering/pet-friendly accommodation with space for the whole family.

First impressions are lasting. Can recommend with confidence as self-catering accommodation/pet-friendly. Really enjoyed the space inside, outside and on the barbecue patio. Communication with the hostess was quick after booking there until check out, information about the area and what to visit was also shared.

Wonderlike, wonderlike huis en gasvrou.

Ons het heerlik gebly, alles was net perfek. Bev is so behulpsaam, stuur elke liewe dingetjie deur per WP en e-mail. Ons het heerlik geslaap, ons het sjerry ontvang met ons aankoms. Lekker kaggel wat brand met hout vir die res van die naweek vir die koue. Die huis is baie mooi skoon en het ons baie vriendelik ontvang. Ons vriendinne kon nie uitgepraat raak oor die wonderlike huis en alles wat Bev vir ons gedoen het nie. Sy het al die plekkies voorgestel waar ons iets kon gaan eet of kon besoek. Sien ons vir seker weer. Beter as dit kan jy nie kry nie.

Wonderful, wonderful house and hostess.

We had a wonderful stay, everything was just perfect. Bev is so helpful, sending every little thing via WP and e-mail. We slept great, we received sherry on our arrival. Nice fireplace that burns with wood for the rest of the weekend for the cold. The house is very nice and clean and received us very kindly. Our girlfriends couldn't get enough of the wonderful house and everything Bev did for us. She suggested all the places where we could eat or visit. See us again for sure. You can't get better than that.

Uitstekend!

Ons het regtig lekker geslaap. Hie, hie! Pragtige uitsig, baie goed ingerigte huis met die kuierarea en stoep. Kamers is lekker knus, goed ingerig en baie gemaklik, die stort was amazing! Ons sal volgende jaar weer kom 'reünie' hou en sal ons definitief aanbeveel. O, ja, ons 2 honnekinners het dit ook baie geniet!

Outstanding!

We slept really well. Hey, hey! Beautiful view, very well furnished house with the living area and porch. Rooms are cozy, well furnished and very comfortable, the shower was amazing! We will be having a 'reunion' again next year and will definitely recommend us. Oh, yes, our 2 male children enjoyed it a lot too!

Overall our stay at Rhino Retreat was fantastic! We would highly recommend it!

Our stay at Rhino Retreat was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The hospitality was top-notch, and every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations. Both the owners and staff were exceptional, very friendly and professional, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our comfort. We would highly recommend Rhino Retreat to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay in Clarens. And also highly recommended for families with children.

Naweek saam met dierbare vriende wat ons almal vir altyd sal onthou.

Absoluut een van die beste plekke waar ons nog oorgeslaap het. Verbasend warm in die kamers en heerlike dek-area vir kuier. Was permanent met ons in kontak en het soveel moeite gedoen om soveel moontlik inligting van die area ens. te deel.

Weekend with dear friends that we will all remember forever.

Absolutely one of the best places we have ever stayed. Surprisingly warm in the rooms and lovely deck area for hanging out. Was in constant contact with us and made so much effort to get as much information as possible from the area etc. to share.

Lovely house and wonderful host.

Wonderful property, with lots of space for our group of 6 plus 2 dogs. Very clean and all amenities were provided. Maria was there to welcome us and couldn't have done anything more to help us. Lovely location just a few minutes away from the centre and some excellent walks. Would stay again.

Morning Phil! Thanks very much for your review, we really appreciate it!
I noticed you didn't feel that the house was value for your money? Could you elaborate on that for us, as we welcome any suggestions going forward. Warm regards, Bev

So lekker gebly!

Ons het by Rhino Retreat gebly saam met vriende en het perfek gewerk met 4 kinders. Dit is stapafstand vanaf die dorpie en ons het elke oomblik geniet in Clarens. Bev en Maria is vreeslik oulik en baie gasvry. Dankie ons sal beslis weer kom kuier.
