Perfect, blissful, and welcoming.

I travelled with my two daughters for a weekend getaway, expecting a very basic lodge because of the decent and affordable pricing. When we arrived we were blown away by the beauty and location of the cabin. Situated on the foothill of the mountain with amazing views, the cabin was fully equipped, complimentary soaps and creams for my girls, DStv, WiFi, fridge freezer, microwave, cutlery, crockery, a gas stove and gas geyser ensured there was sufficient hot water. They even provided us with a complimentary daily bag of mixed wood for an amazing braai. The service and welcoming of the staff was also surreal - very happy!

Thank you for your valuable feedback, Trevor! You and your teenage daughters were amazing, and we are happy to know that you enjoyed yourselves.

Beskostigbare, netjies en 'n baie mooi ligging.

Ek sal Groenhoek aanbeveel vir enige iemand wat 'n bekostigbare verblyf soek in die noordelike Drakensberg. Die fasiliteite was goed, netjies en waarde vir geld. Die opsigter was vriendelik en baie behulpsaam.

Rustig en ongelooflike uitsig.

Ons het in die donker daar aangekom en het die volgende oggend wakker geword met die mooiste uitsig. Ons gaan al vir jare Clarens toe en bly by verskillende plekke, maar hierdie was definitief een van die lekkerste plekke. As jy nie binne Clarens wil bly nie en wil wegbreek, is die plek vir seker vir jou! Die plek is ruim en netjies. Sal beslis weer terugkeer.

We got there in the dark and woke up the next morning to the most beautiful view.

Mooi, ontspannend en spasie vir ons self en berge.

Goeie ervaring gehad. Die uitsig is baie mooi gewees en die geriewe was op standaard. Net een klein ding, die gasgeiser kon nie die bad so warm kry toe ons daar was nie. Verder was dit baie lekker om daar op die dek te sit en na die berge te kyk.

Comfortable, good facilities and close enough to everything.

The location was not as remote and isolated as I had hoped, but the units were clean, and the place was largely quiet enough to be able to sleep in in the mornings, albeit that the cabins are fitted with light roller blinds that let in a lot of light.

Baie lekker plekkie en baie vriendelike flink diens.

Dis 'n baie lekker plekkie, maar ons het een oggend glad nie water gehad nie a.g.v. die koue nie. Ek voel egter dat die eienaar net vooraf 'n mens kan waarsku dat almal die vorige aand bad en water saamgevat het vir tandeborsels. Daar is ook plekke op die terrein waar daar oop kabels uitsteek op pad na die klimraam vir kinders, en die swaai was gebreek en net op die grond gelaat. Dit is 'n baie oulike plekkie en ons sal definitief weer gaan, maar daar is 'n paar goedjies wat hulle kan regstel en meer instandhou vir toekomstige kliente.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Very nice place and very friendly prompt service.

It's a very nice place, but one morning we had no water at all due to not the cold. However, I feel that the owner can only warn one in advance that everyone took a bath the night before and took water with them for toothbrushes. There are also places on the site where there are open cables sticking out on the way to the children's climbing frame, and the swing was broken and just left on the ground. It's a very cute place and we will definitely go again, but there are a few things they could fix and maintain more for future customers.

A lovely environment but no maintenance leaves much to be desired.

It is a beautiful environment. The houses are surrounded by mountains. The house had a lovely view. However, we had trouble getting the front door unlocked. Also a struggle to open the bathroom door from the inside. The outside light at the braai was not working. Power cables ran above ground from our house to a pump on the mountain. Power cables to an adjacent house were also above ground. Zinc sheets removed from the roof of 1 house were left as is. On the last day the wind picked up and blew the plates around. There was no sign of any hiking trails.

Amazing location and views, away from the crowds but close enough for convenience.

Everything you need for self-catering and perfectly comfortable. But don't expect a 5-star hotel room. Needs some light maintenance on chalets. There is a great hike from just behind the chalets going as far as you want to make of it. Good location for visiting Clarens and Golden Gate.

Beautiful views, peaceful stay.

Spectacular views on a lovely farm. Our family took up one cabin with two beds and two en suite baths (no showers) and another couple took up one of the one bedroom cabins. The owner went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

Baie mooi uitsig, goeie klientediens. Sal definitief Yarona Guest Farms weer besoek.

Die uitsig is prentjiemooi, perfek om net te gaan rus en af te sluit van die buitewêreld.

Very nice view, good customer service. Will definitely visit Yarona Guest Farms again.

The view is picture perfect, perfect to just rest and shut off from the outside world.

Very nice location with amazing views!

The overall stay was enjoyable. However, some parts of the farm/cabin need some maintenance. If the owners fix these up, it can be a five-star stay.

The location was beautiful but the units are in dire need of maintenance.

Units run-down, tub and toilets stained, not good value for money in terms of what they are charging.

Die plek is baie swak vir R1265, moet meer in die R750 p.d. prysklas wees.

Probleme ervaar: 1. Geen ontvangs, bel hulle en hulle sou ons Vrydagmiddag by die chalets kry. Maandag gery en wag nog steeds. 2. Hulle antwoord nie oproepe nie. Normale lyn of WhatsApp. 3. Saterdagoggend was een chalet se gas klaar. Geen warm water nie. Geen foon word geantwoord nie. 4. Die hek by ingang was gebuig, 1 persoon met baie gesukkel kon die hek oopmaak. Twee persone kon nie die hek heeltemal toemaak nie. 5. Badkamer se wasbak het geen warm water gehad nie. Die kraan kon amper 360° draai, was heeltemal los. 6. Van die kombuiskaste se deure is besig om af te val. Almal kon nie toemaak nie. 7. Die 1 bedlampie se muurprop het 'n kortsluiting gemaak. Kon dit nie gebruik nie. 8. Ens.

The place is very poor for R1265, should be more in the R750 p.d. be price range.

Problems experienced: 1. No reception, call them and they would meet us at the chalets on Friday afternoon. Drove on Monday and still waiting. 2. They don't answer calls. Normal line or WhatsApp. 3. On Saturday morning, one chalet's guest was finished. No hot water. No phone is answered. 4. The gate at the entrance was bent, 1 person with a lot of difficulty could open the gate. Two persons could not close the gate completely. 5. Bathroom sink had no hot water. The faucet could turn almost 360°, was completely loose. 6. Some of the kitchen cupboard doors are falling off. All could not close. 7. The 1 bedside lamp's wall plug made a short circuit. Couldn't use it. 8. Etc.

Beautiful and peaceful.

The cabin is exactly what you can expect based on the photos. Secluded, peaceful, quiet and calm. A stone's throw from Clarens and the Golden Gate Highlands National Park.

The only downfall is the shower head doesn't work, it only lets out cold water so you have to bath.

Spectacular views all throughout!

A little bit of a bumpy check-in at first, but once we were settled it was the most amazing experience. We recommend doing the full hike which includes going down the river and past the cave. It is however challenging, moderate - difficult, with steep inclines so wear appropriate gear. We had hoped for on-site catering, however, this was unavailable but there are a few restaurants in the area including activities. Quad biking is available on-site, a single automatic and manual quad bike. Horse riding is available as well but the horse riding on the neighbouring farm specialises in trail riding. We were lucky to catch some of the very shy game. The cabins are as represented in the photos, spacious and comfortable! The farm provided us with firewood, even topped us up when it was raining and the kitchen is fully catered for including a gas stove. I had no network access however my partner had limited access. We did have access to DSTV for entertainment. Overall our stay was beautiful and peaceful, the hosts were very informative and helpful. We mostly enjoyed viewing the stars on clear nights and the patio views early in the morning.

Dit was die perfekte plek vir 'n stil rustige wegbreek.

Naby aan Golden Gate Natuur Reservaat wat dit ideaal maak om staproetes te doen.

Die rus en uitsig is wonderlik.

Ek glo nie ek sal aanbeveel nie vir die volgende redes. Mens kan waarneem dat instandhouding van die plek besig is om agteruit te gaan. Die warmwaterkraan in die kombuis het nie gewerk nie. Ons het ingelig en gevra dat dit herstel word. Dit was nie gedoen nie. Ek het maar self 'n plan gemaak om warm water in die kombuis te kry. Beide krane in die badkamerhandwasbak het nie funksioneer nie. Kouewaterkraan glad nie, warmwaterkraan maak bietjie oop. Maar geen warm water nie. Soos adverteer moes daar 'n haardroër wees wat nie daar was nie. Ons het ingelig en gevra dat hulle dit asb. uitsorteer. Dit het hulle wel na 'n paar ure gedoen. Die WiFi was aan en af, en op die laaste dag het dit glad nie funksioneer nie. Ons het dit nie rapporteer nie, want toe is ons al bietjie moeg gevra. In die algemeen kan mens waarneem die plek is besig om agteruit te gaan en ek glo nie dat dit goeie waarde is vir daardie tipe geld nie.

The rest and view is wonderful.

I don't think I would recommend for the following reasons. One can observe that maintenance of the place is deteriorating. The hot water tap in the kitchen did not work. We informed and asked for it to be repaired. It was not done. I made a plan myself to get hot water in the kitchen. Both faucets in the bathroom hand basin were not functioning. Cold water tap not at all, hot water tap opens a little. But no hot water. As advertised there should have been a hairdryer which was not there. We informed and asked them to please. sort out. They did after a few hours. The WiFi was on and off, and on the last day it didn't function at all. We didn't report it, because by then we were a bit tired of being asked. Overall you can tell the place is going downhill and I don't believe it's good value for that type of money.

Good day, the kitchen tap works perfectly fine, but the guest wasn't able to balance the cold and hot water.
We will improve our Wi-Fi connection as advised.

Some unfortunate snags.

Overall beautiful and relaxing area. Lafikeng cabin needs some repairs (cupboard door loose, toilet roof leaking, bathroom tap is loose, etc. ). Checked-in at 15:30 and cleaner was still busy cleaning (argued that check-in time was not 14:00). Bathtub was not properly cleaned. Otherwise, good stay.

Terleurstellend, ek het my geld gemors.

Ek het 'n verjaarsdag vir my verloofde beplan en nadat ek die fotos van Yarona Guest Farms gesien het, het ek op hierdie besluit vir die ideale verblyf. Ek moes R2530 ten volle betaal vir die bespreking. Ons het Donderdag 'n ver afstand gereis na Clarens en eers baie laat by Yarona Guest Farms gestop. 1. Fasiliteite kry 'n 0 van my. Daar was geen handoeke nie, geen koffiegeriewe nie en die TV en haardroër was ook afwesig. Die volgende oggend eers 9 uur het iemand 'n TV op die balkon se rusbank vir ons gelos. 2. Die huisie waar ons gebly het, word nie in stand gehou nie, die skirting board van die entertainment area hang op genade, die balkon se vloerspykers moet jy mooi uitikyk voor en beslis nie waar jy kaalvoet kan rondloop nie. 3. Veiligheid kry 'n 0 by my - Die stoep het spykers wat maklik 4 cm uitstaan en as jy nie mooi kyk nie, sal jy jouself lelik sny. Die trampolien is nou net 'n leë gat, glad nie veilig vir kinders om in daardie area te speel nie. Ek voel ek het my geld gemors met hierdie bespreking en na 48 uur nadat ek by die webtuiste gekla het, wag ek tot nou to nog vir terugvoering.

Disappointing, I wasted my money.

I planned a birthday for my fiancé and after seeing the photos of Yarona Guest Farms, I decided on this for the ideal stay. I had to pay R2530 in full for the booking. On Thursday we traveled a long distance to Clarens and only stopped at Yarona Guest Farms very late. 1. Facilities get a 0 from me. There were no towels, no coffee facilities and the TV and hairdryer were also absent. The next morning at 9 o'clock someone left a TV on the balcony couch for us. 2. The house where we stayed is not maintained, the skirting board of the entertainment area hangs on its mercy, the balcony's floor nails you have to look out for and definitely not where you can walk around barefoot. 3. Safety gets a 0 from me - The porch has nails that easily stick out 4 cm and if you don't look carefully, you will cut yourself badly. The trampoline is now just an empty hole, not at all safe for children to play in that area. I feel like I wasted my money with this booking and after 48 hours of complaining to the website I'm still waiting for a response.
