Breathtaking over!
This is a definite "visit again". Tasteful. Restful. Friendly atmosphere and staff. I'm in love with Naries. The round houses in the field are so romantic.

Neat accommodation in beautiful surroundings.
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.

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.

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.

It was an awesome experience.
We stayed in one of the two self catering units. Unbelievable. I would recommend it anytime. It's quiet, and not much light in your eyes around. Stargazing was a pleasure. I have no complaints. I only stayed overnight, but would definitely like to stay longer next time.

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.

Very disappointing!
Mountain suites are stunning from the outside, but 3 different sizes and views. Explanation of Naries as "unique" is unacceptable. 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.

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.

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.
