Thank you very much for a wonderful weekend with you. We were received very kindly and were personally taken to our tent chalet where everything was shown and explained to us. The tent chalet is very comfortable, neat and clean. The ponds and surrounding environment are perfectly maintained. Our family really enjoyed the hiking trails. The farm is rich in water with many ponds and a beautiful river and vegetation and bird life is something special. If you are looking for tranquility in nature, Valley of the Rainbow is for you.

The location, service and overall hospitality and quality of accommodation and food etc. was special.
This was my second visit to the Valley of the Rainbow. Previously drove through Dullstroom and the road was terrible. Management recommended I rather drive through Stoffberg, wow the road is so much shorter and more convenient. Thanks for that advice. The stay was more than I expected. The hospitality and helpfulness of all the staff was something special. The accommodation is really great and tidy. The food served was really fresh and very well presented, couldn't wait to see what was served each night. The trout ponds were in very good condition with no grass etc. not in the ponds. There were also enough fish in the ponds that most people could catch a few fish just to round out the weekend. We also explored the mountains around the farm a bit and there is a lot that is beautiful to see if you want to take a break from fishing. I will definitely visit the place many times. Away from Dullstroom's hustle and bustle, this is definitely the place.

We had a fantastic time at Valley of the Rainbow (tent-chalet). Everything was great, very comfortable and clean tent with everything you need. Thanks to Sarah for cleaning so beautifully every day. The whole farm is neatly maintained and spotless. Thanks to Paulus for teaching our son to fly-fish, he will always remember it. The 5 course meal was delicious! Thank you Elmarie and SP for your incredible hospitality. It's people like you that make people return there again. We look forward to vacationing there again, next time for longer than just a weekend.

Will definitely ask that there are at least fans in the tent chalets. Also a warning in advance that there is no cellphone signal and that it will not be recommended for children or older people. There are no activities for children and the footpath to the tents is very uneven and uncomfortable. However, we really enjoyed it, it is a nice area and friendly reception. The restaurant's food is top notch!

If you want to get away from the noise of the city, this is the right place. Deafeningly still, with only the sounds of nature to calm your soul, away from technology. Beautiful view and for those who see the chance, feel free to try to catch a fish. All I will add is that you need a 4x4 as your regular car will not be able to tackle the road easily, especially if it has been raining.

Didn't think there was a place in South Africa where I could relax without cell phone reception. Awesome vacation.
The resort is very neat and comfortable from the tents as well as the fishing ponds which allow for really good fly fishing. Although the trout eluded us, the black bass provided a lot of excitement on the lighter tackle. On Saturday evening we enjoyed a perfectly prepared 5-course meal at a very reasonable price with a more than adequate wine list. There are beautiful walking trails around the dams along the river among the trees, if we had stayed longer we would have made use of the picnic baskets that can be prepared for guests. Hospitality of the staff was something special.

Definitely worth it to just break away for a weekend or even longer and catch your breath from the city. The ideal place for fishing, reading, photography (incredibly interesting birdlife), and most importantly, rest! We will definitely return here.

Shaun and his wife who run the place are helpful and friendly. The service is good and the place is clean. Fireplace and wood for fire is free and a winner. Take a round two-prong adapter for the hairdryer and the fridge has enough cooling space for a long weekend. The road there should preferably be approached from Stofberg's side because the alternative 25 km dirt road to Dullstroom is not built for night driving or low luxury vehicles but is quite drivable if one is not in a hurry.

Very nice, had a really nice rest.
The reception was warm and immediately felt at home. The attention we received from the host and hostess during our stay was not overwhelming, just enough to make us feel right at home. The premises are particularly well maintained and the host and hostess pay a lot of attention to detail. We had one breakfast and one dinner at the lodge and both were of a high standard. We stayed in tent no. 5 stayed, slept very well with all the nature sounds at night. The tent was serviced daily and Sarah did a very good job, and was always very friendly with us. If I may make a suggestion, the bushes in front of the deck are getting a bit high and obstructing one's view of the pond and towards the field. It would be nice if the bushes could be trimmed a bit to improve the view. Spent a lovely 5 days, very relaxed, walked a lot, batteries are well charged.

Not made for Dullstroom weather.
We had very bad rain and hail and because of that we couldn't take the shorter road to Dullstroom. We had to drive through Belfast. There's no cellphone reception on the property. The staff's not available 24/7. On the Saturday evening our geyser didn't work and we couldn't find anyone to assist us. We were just glad that we didn't have an even bigger emergency. The kitchen is small, but has everything you need. No cupboard in the kitchen, just one big plastic container to protect your dry food against mice.

It's a beautiful large 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom home. Beautiful view from the porch with a pond close to the house for rowing or fishing. There is so much to do: jogging, cycling, walking, rowing, fishing, a large lawn for children and the children could go up the road and play in the river. Extra bonus was that there was no cell phone reception at home! I would definitely recommend anyone to relax there!

Beautiful farm, large ponds and soft green lawns. Nice hiking trails. Staff really went out of their way to make our stay there enjoyable. The managers even came to our tent house through a heavy storm to ask if we wanted to move to a room in the mansion instead, as she was worried that our baby might be afraid of the weather. We were very happy in the tent house, so didn't move, but were very impressed, especially since the mansion doesn't really allow small children! Will definitely go again!

It was the best getaway in a long time. No catch so our little family had to talk and play games all the time.
My husband surprised me with a weekend getaway to Valley of the Rainbow Estate. Jinne this is the most fantastic place with the friendliest people! I thought it would be boring for our 4 year old boy, but he enjoyed it almost more than we did. It was damn good! We had a great time relaxing, the tents are very well equipped - service was excellent, we were very warmly received!

A unique piece of heaven in the valleys.
Thanks to Riana, Janneman (managers) and Joseph (chef) for their hospitality and wonderful food (breakfast and 5-course dinner). We stayed in one of the Log Cabins (No.2) and it was fantastic. The view, fireplace, bath, gas braai and well-equipped kitchen made it a memorable weekend. The Log Cabins is away from the other units, which makes it perfect for a private romantic weekend getaway. We also enjoyed the walking paths, trout dams, watermill (with wonderful history) and the nearby waterfall. Please drive with a sedan that at least has a reasonable ground height, in wet weather the gravel from Stofberg's side is accessible with a sedan if you drive carefully and in day time.

In the morning the whole family met like dassies in the sun with a coffee. The adventurous ones could go hiking, fishing and horse riding - while the lazy ones could only enjoy the silence and wonderful scenery.

What a wonderful place in the mountains. Neat accommodation, they pay attention to details in the tented accommodation where we stayed. We stressed a bit when we read the reviews about the gravel road, but we didn't have any problems with the Stofberg gravel road even though we use my Peogeot 308 with low ground clearence, I'm not sure if that would have been the case if the road was wet. You just have to drive slowly and carefully. Was a wonderful weekend away from the city. No cellphone reception on the farm, but it was perfect for us. Warm reception and Shaun made us sure we were comfortable. We will definitely be back.

Nice peaceful place where you can get away from your busy life.
The accommodation was very nice and tidy and nice to stay in. Unfortunately, the distance to Belfast and especially Dullstroom is further than expected - more or less 80 km from Dullstroom with a normal vehicle. Only shorter road to Dullstroom is only suitable for tall vehicles. Unfortunately, we had a weekend with a lot of rain and this also worsened the condition of the road we had to drive on.

I would recommend this as a break for a couple without kids, there are no activities for the kids, a pool on site might be a change.

Very beautiful and peaceful with friendly service.
We stayed in the tents. Remember firewood as the black wattle provided is not great. Fly fishing for trout is not suitable for summer as the ponds are shallow and therefore warm and full of grass, but I am sure this is not the case in winter.

Very beautiful and peaceful.
The place is breathtakingly beautiful, especially the dams, and is very neat and safe. I would recommend that they order a bigger fridge as you are very far from shops. Would also like more information about their meals that they offer and would make it clear how far you are from Dulstroom. The dirt road between the accommodation and Dulstroom is not pleasant at all and will not be able to be driven without an SUV.

The log cabin was fantastic.
However, the ponds were unfortunately full of grass which made catching trout difficult. Furthermore, it is a great place to visit.

Absolutely a MUST!
We visited Valley of Rainbow on the weekend of 3rd August for a romantic getaway and it was absolutely excellent value for money! The couple who run the estate are lovely and very hospitable, they automatically make you feel at home! The food is top notch and the rooms are beautifully luxurious and spacious. Even though we are not fishermen there was still more than enough to keep us busy such as going for a walk on the hiking trails and visiting Dullstroom. Just make sure to drive a van or a 4x4 as the road is a bit bad.

Nice stay but the bedrooms need some updating,
We decided at the last minute for a romantic getaway, Valley of the Rainbow is very secluded and it's so peaceful there. The surroundings were very beautiful, especially with the trout ponds and the neat gardens. The management couple were very friendly, hospitable and helpful. The food was delicious. I feel that the bedrooms could be updated a bit with new curtains and new decor, it already looks old, the lamps next to the bed were both already broken and fixed with superglue....it looks "tacky" Rooms were clean and tidy.
