Perfekte plek om die Namakwa te ervaar.

Naries was 'n aangename ervaring. Gawe mense en doen baie moeite met die kos.

Great stay!

There was lots to do and see in the area. The staff were wonderful and the location was fantastic. Rooms were very well stocked and comfortable. We would love to visit again sometime. We were disappointed by the final bill that we forgot to settle up (our mistake), but now fully paid. It would be good to notify clients when they will be charged for extras such as the welcome teas when we arrived. Also, some of our meals were not included in the price that we paid up front. We understood that sundowner drinks were extra. A menu presented prior to our order could have solved this dilemma as we brought all our food and drinks.

This is such a beautiful place. We wished that we had booked for 4 nights. The walks and scenery are breathtaking and the hospitality and food were really top class.

Baie gerieflike akkommodasie. Kos uitstekend.

Myns insiens ietwat "Over priced". Veral as ek dit met ander akkommodasie in die prysklas vergelyk word. Sal dit weer gebruik, maar net as ander soortgelyke akkommodasie nie beskikbaar is nie.

In my opinion somewhat "Over priced". Especially when I compare it to other accommodation in the price range. Would use again but only if other similar accommodation is not available.

Stunning views and awesome location.

A lovely cottage with stunning views. The area had just had some devasting floods, so there was a lot of water around. It was our overnight stop on our way back from the Kgalagadi and this worked well for us. Nice and quiet, only disturbed by the birds in the morning! Lovely evening with amazing views of the stars!

Netjiese verblyf in pragtige omgewing.

Naries is goed geleë om Springbok-omgewing te verken; veral in die blommeseisoen; ons eenheid was netjies en ons is selfs van 'n gratis sak brandhout voorsien om die koue te verdryf.

Naries is well located for exploring the Springbok area; especially in the flower season; our unit was tidy and we were even provided with a free bag of firewood to ward off the cold.

Besonderse plek, baie mooi akkommodasie, behalwe die selfsorg-eenhede het 'n upgrade nodig.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier en gebly, maar ons gaste en ons het gereken die selfsorghuisies kan bietjie meer gemoderniseer word. Veral as mens dit vergelyk met die groothuis wat mooi opgeknap word. Die kos in die restaurant was baie gewoon, alhoewel baie aangenaam. Ons vergelyk dit met die maaltye wat ons vantevore daar gekry het. Veral die aandetes was duur vir wat jy gekry het. Die nuwe Gemsbok bymekaarkomplek was heerlik, ons het baie gawe mense daar ontmoet.

Special place, very nice accommodation, except the self-catering units need an upgrade.

We had a great time and stay, but our guests and we thought the self-catering cottages could be modernized a bit more. Especially when you compare it to the big house that is being nicely renovated. The food in the restaurant was very ordinary, although very pleasant. We compare it to the meals we got there before. Especially the dinners were expensive for what you got. The new Gemsbok meeting place was wonderful, we met many nice people there.

Mooiste berg-suite.

Die berg suite is 'n groot bederf. 5 ster akkommodasie in die koppies met mooiste uitsig, veral sonsopkoms deur die vensters oor 'n koppie koffie. In my opinie kan die etes effens aangepas word om 'n 5de ster by die waarde vir geld te sit. Ek verstaan Covid het ook dinge beperk. Die plaas is pragtig met mooi staproetes en die berg lapa 'n bederf met sononder. Die personeel en bestuur is baie vriendelik en gasvry. Ons beveel graag Narries aan.

Most beautiful mountain suite.

The mountain suite is a great treat. 5 star accommodation in the hills with the most beautiful view, especially sunrise through the windows over a cup of coffee. In my opinion the meals could be adjusted slightly to add a 5th star to the value for money. I understand Covid has also limited things. The farm is beautiful with beautiful hiking trails and the mountain lapa is a treat at sunset. The staff and management are very friendly and hospitable. We are happy to recommend Narries.

Welcome luxury after a long drive.

Great oasis. The indoor fireplace is a good idea for both winter and for braaing in summer. Enjoyed the different walks and even had the opportunity to do an 8 km run to the view point and back. Lovely and restful. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Very quiet remote, can see thousands of stars at night with only the local wild life to keep you company.

Isolated, quiet place with lovely undulating hills. The chalets were comfortably, cool although it was hot outside and at night the temperature dropped which was very pleasant.

Ons het in een van die twee self catering units gebly. Ongelooflik. Ek sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel. Dit is stil, en nie veel lig in jou oë in die omgewing nie. Sterre kyk was 'n plesier. Ek het geen klagtes nie. Ek het net oornag, maar sal vir seker langer wil bly volgende keer.

Mooi plaas met uitsigte.

Die verskil tussen die self catering, die herehuis en die luxury chalets is groter as wat ek verwag het. Die drie huis tipes is nie goed geïntegreer nie. Fotos skep 'n verwagting van die Nama chalets - in werklikheid is die self catering nie daar geleë nie en die uitsig is ook nie dieselfde nie. Die verskil is net te groot en dit stel teleur. Hoogtepunt was die Gemsbok Lapa en die uitsigpunt.

Nice farm with views.

The difference between the self catering, the mansion and the luxury chalets is bigger than I expected. The three house types are not well integrated. Photos create an expectation of the Nama chalets - in reality the self catering is not located there and the view is not the same either. The difference is just too big and it's disappointing. Highlight was the Gemsbok Lapa and the viewpoint.

Die stilte van die Mountain Suite waar ons gebly het was 'n unieke ervaring.

Vyfster-verblyf. Net een probleempie, die eienaar MOET dit oorweeg om die WiFi reëls te verander. Deesdae is gratis WiFi oral beskikbaar/verwag en ons het gevind dat ander gaste ook so voel.

Baie teleurstellend!

Berg-suites is van buite asemrowend, maar 3 verskillende groottes en uitsigte. Verduideliking van Naries as "uniek" is onaanvaarbaar. Pryse moet verskil en wat jy kry duidelik uitgestip word, so nie sal daar altyd probleme wees indien meer as 1 paar in die suites tuisgaan. Aanbieding van kos besonders, maar kos is swak. Gazpacho in 'n cognac glas met klein opening bedien, steak taai, crime brûlée tuisgemaak, maar melk het geskif, en brandy snaps onder peer kliphard aan buitekant en taai onder peer. Die yskas is of te laat aangesit of stukkend en toe vervang met 'n vuil een. Die ergste van alles is dat absoluut niks gedoen is nie en dat niemand die saak met ons bespreek het (desondanks klagtes) tot na ons vertrek nie. En toe het bestuur eers skriftelik probeer uitmaak dat ons onnodig kla. Verskoning eers volgende dag tydens telefoongesprek aangebied.

Prices must be different and what you get clearly spelled out, otherwise there will always be problems if more than 1 couple stays in the suites. Presentation of food exceptional, but food is poor. Gazpacho served in a cognac glass with a small opening, steak tough, crime brûlée homemade, but milk has skimmed, and brandy snaps under pear rock hard on the outside and tough under pear. The fridge was either installed too late or broken and then replaced with a dirty one. The worst of all is that absolutely nothing was done and that no one discussed the matter with us (complaints notwithstanding) until after we left. And then management first tried to find out in writing that we were complaining unnecessarily. Apology offered only the next day during a telephone conversation.

Naries Namakwa Retreat 's response

Namens bestuur en span vra ons weereens om verskoning; en dit gaan verseker nie u onaangename ervaring verander nie, waaroor ons regtig jammer is. Ons het reeds aandag gegee aan al die punte van bespreking om dit te verbeter en reg te stel.

Rustige, sielsverkwikkende omgewing en mense.

Ons het die rustigheid van die plek baie aangenaam gevind, selfs gewens ons kon langer bly. Die geriewe was onverbeterlik en die ontbyt voortreflik. Die personeel straal 'n rustigheid uit wat ons van die stad af nie meer ken nie. Dit was 'n lafenis.

Peaceful, soul-invigorating surroundings and people.

We found the tranquility of the place very pleasant, even wished we could have stayed longer. The facilities were unbeatable and the breakfast excellent. The staff radiates a calmness that we no longer know from the city. It was an experience.

'n Heerlike bederfkuier in die mooiste wêreld!

Ons is hartlik verwelkom en het baie lekker bederf gevoel in 'n luukse en suite-kamer, met alle luukse geriewe waarvoor mens kan wens! Die etes, beide driegangaandete en ontbyt, was baie smaaklik!

Mooi omgewing! Die gastehuis het nie heeltemal opgeleef aan my verwagtinge nie.

Die Naries-omgewing is baie mooi. Die gastehuis maak nie voorsiening vir kinders onder twaalf nie. Ons het eers met navraag oor ontbyt gehoor dat ons in ons kamers ontbyt sal kry. Die kombuis was nie bereid om ontbyt teen 07h00 gereed te hê nie. Ons moes wag tot 08h30 om ontbyt in ons kamer te kry. Ons moes vroeg vertrek, so ontbyt het oorgestaan. Daar is nie lugverkoeling nie ('n dakwaaier is nie verkoeling as dit 40ºC buite is nie).

Nice environment! The guest house did not quite live up to my expectations.

The Naries area is very beautiful. The guest house does not cater for children under twelve. We only heard when inquiring about breakfast that we would get breakfast in our rooms. The kitchen was not prepared to have breakfast ready by 07h00. We had to wait until 08h30 to get breakfast in our room. We had to leave early, so breakfast was left over. There is no air cooling (a roof fan is not cooling if it is 40ºC outside).

Dit was heerlik, die natuurskoon asemrowend en gasvryheid uit die boonste rakke.

Ek sal Naries vir almal aanbeveel! Van die oomblik wat ons daar aangekom het, het ons tuis gevoel. Die personeel is almal baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die etes was voortreflik. Die dekor en kamers is pragtig. Om die natuurskoon om jou waar te neem is werklik goed vir jou siel. Die veld, berge, blou lug en skoon en vars lug is wonderlik, asemrowend! Baie dankie.

A wonderful place to unwind

From the minute we arrived and the warm friendly greeting we received, we knew that we had made a good choice for an overnight stay. The wonderful setting and luxurious accommodation immediately put the hustle of city life behind us. The service and food were excellent. This place is certainly good for one's soul and we will definitely stay longer next time.

The views are spectacular although it is very dry at the moment.

We enjoyed our stay there and we had a very harty welcome. Unfortuanately I did not book for dinner and due to the fact that we travelled a long distance that was an anticlimax when we reliased we had to either sleep without food or travel all the way back to Springbok to have something to eat. And then one of the ladies (forgot her name) came back and told us that she has arranged for a platter with bread, cheese and meat aswell as some cold drinks. That is service!!!!! Thank you very much for a good nights sleep.

It was a big surprise to found "a little peace of heaven" in the bushes between the mountains. Would never thought a place like that exist. Will definitely visit again and sleeps in the same bungaloo! Thanks for your hospitality and frienliness, we appreciated it.
