Dit was uit die boonste rakke.

Dit was 'n absolute fees om by Rietfontein Safari Lodge te kon bly. Annie en haar man is vriendelike, bedagsame en goeie mense. Die huis is netjies en skoon. Ons het soveel meer gekry as wat ons kon dink. Die wildrit was great. Mag die Here julle in alles seën, en mag sy guns altyd op julle rus. Ek ry enige tyd 13 ure weer tot by julle. Ons het lekker geslaap, gekuier en mooi herinneringe gemaak. Ek beveel julle enige tyd aan.

It was top notch.

It was an absolute feast to be able to stay at Rietfontein Safari Lodge. Annie and her husband are kind, considerate and good people. The house is neat and clean. We got so much more than we could have imagined. The game drive was great. May the Lord bless you in everything, and may his favor rest upon you always. I will drive 13 hours again to you at any time. We slept well, visited and made beautiful memories. I recommend you guys anytime.

Lekker bosveldwegbreek saam met vriende.

Ons gebruik baie lekkeslaap om plekke te bespreek vir 'n naweek weg en ek moet sê, hierdie plek was sovêr definitief 1 van ons top 5. Die huis is stunning. Ons het so lekker gekuier. Maak 'n bespreking by Rietfontein Guest & Safari Lodge, jy gaan nie spyt wees nie. Ons kom verseker weer lekkeslaap by Rietfontein Guest & Safari Lodge.

Probably one of, if not the best places I have stayed at.

The lodge is not your typical bush accommodation. It is modern and well-equipped with everything you could need in a beautiful location. The hosts are the friendliest and most helpful people you could meet. They went above and beyond for us and really made our stay worth every cent. Thank you to Bertie and Annie for your hospitality, we will definitely be back soon.

Rustige, ontspanne atmosfeer in die pragtigste bosveldnatuurskoon en wild.

Vriendelike, hartlike en gasvrye ontvangs deur die eienaars self (Annie en Bertus is twee dierbare, omgee mense). Hulle het uit hulle pad gegaan en die ekstra myl geloop om dit so gerieflik en aangenaam as moontlik vir ons te maak. Ons het in die Safari Lodge gebly, wat nie baie luuks is nie, maar wel baie gerieflik, netjies en skoon is. Sommer dadelik tuis gevoel. Ons wou sommer net daar bly en nie terug huistoe gaan nie.

Peaceful, relaxed atmosphere in the most beautiful woodland scenery and wildlife.

Friendly, warm and hospitable reception by the owners themselves (Annie and Bertus are two dear, caring people). They went out of their way and went the extra mile to make it as convenient and pleasant as possible for us. We stayed in the Safari Lodge, which is not very luxurious, but very comfortable, neat and clean. Sommer immediately felt at home. We just wanted to stay there and not go back home.

Heerlike wegbreek. Rustige en ontspanne atmosfeer. Die kombuis is goed ingerig met alles wat nodig is. Die kuierarea is gemaklik en ruim.

Die 4 km-grondpad na die lodge kan aandag geniet. Daar kan meer gedoen word om die verblyf vir gaste tydens beurtkrag gemakliker te maak. Die pomp wat water na die kamer pomp is van elektrisiteit afhanklik. Gevolglik is die waterdruk af en kan daar nie gestort word of water gebruik word tydens beurtkrag nie. Dit sal ook van nut wees om gaste, sover moontlik, van 'n beurtkragskedule te voorsien, aangesien daar nie sterk selfoonopvangs is vir gaste om self die skedule af te laai nie.

Great getaway. Calm and relaxed atmosphere. The kitchen is well equipped with everything needed. The living area is comfortable and spacious.

The 4 km dirt road to the lodge deserves attention. More can be done to make the stay for guests more comfortable during load shedding. The pump that pumps water to the room is dependent on electricity. As a result, the water pressure is down and it is not possible to dump or use water during load shedding. It would also be useful to provide guests, as far as possible, with a load shedding schedule, as there is not strong mobile phone reception for guests to download the schedule themselves.

Baie dankie vir jou resensie Marie.
Die 4 km grondpad is buite ons beheer want dit is ‘n provinsiale pad, en ons is afhanklik van die munisipaliteit om dit te skraap.
Ons lodge is afhanklik van ‘n water drukpomp sisteem en gedurende beurtkrag is daar gewoonlik dan nie water nie. Die gas was duidelik ingelig daaroor, en verduidelik dat hulle moet stort wanneer daar krag is.
Beurtkrag skedules verander gereeld en ons val tussen 2 munisipaliteite, dus is daar nooit regtig ‘n akkurate skedule beskikbaar nie.
Die selfoon sein is voldoende en het ons nog nooit enige gaste gehad wat ‘n probleem daarmee gehad het nie. Soms a.g.v. beurtkrag is daar ook nie selfoon sein nie.

Dankie vir die resensie, met dit stel dit ons in staat om te verbeter waar ons kan, en ook gaste meer op hoogte te probeer hou van die beurtkrag situasie wat ons land onder gebuk gaan asook die munisipaliteite wat dit maar uitdagend maak alhoewel hulle redelik gereeld die grondpad skraap.

Die stilte, privaatheid, natuurskoon, sterrehemel, braaivleisvure, swembad en die gerief van ons huis wat keurig versier en ingerig is was net wat ons nodig gehad het! Baie dankie vir die van Niekerk's wat uit hul pad gegaan het om ons tuis te laat voel! Ons kan nie wag om weer te kom kuier nie!
