Absolutely refreshing.

It was an amazing stay and refreshing, though there was no signal. But it helped us to be away from the usual routines. The owner made us feel welcome, no disturbance at all. The game drive was amazing .

Refreshing and tranquil.

It was a great stay. The place is beautiful and open inside and outside. We were surrounded by nature and friendly animals. The owners were very kind and responded so quickly to our everyday needs. I would definitely go back again.

Became one with nature.

Tranquility and serenity place. The giraffe came by to say hi. Amazing views of nature. Lovely game drive. Waking up every morning to see bucks through the window. Would definitely recommend.

Peaceful and relaxing.

This is a perfect place to go and escape from all the hustle and bustle of the city. It is so peaceful. We woke up to the view of impala grazing next to the fence line just outside of our window. So special! The owners are friendly and accommodating.

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.

Rietfontein Guest & Safari Lodge 's response

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.

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.

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.

Nice woodland break with friends.

We use a lot of sleep to book places for a weekend away and I have to say, this place was definitely 1 of our top 5. The house is stunning. We had such a good time. Make a reservation at Rietfontein Guest & Safari Lodge, you won't regret it. We will surely come again to 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.

Beste wegbreek en herlaaityd as gesin waarvoor ons kon vra!

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!

Die lodge is ruim, pragtig gemeubileer, fantasties toegerus met alles wat nodig is. Die rustigheid, kalmte en natuurskoon is ongelooflik. Baie vriendelik ontvangs en die gasheer en gasvrou het uit hul pad gegaan om ons tuis en gemaklik te laat voel. Dankie Bertie vir die uitstekende wildsrit.

Wat 'n fantastiese lekker plek. Ek kan dit 100% aanbeveel vir pare of groter groepe. Uitstekend, van die gasvryheid van die eienaars, luxury van die plek, netheid, waarde vir geld, toerusting, beddegoed, braaihout, omgewing, views en die privaatheid. Kon gaan stap, baie voëls en wild om te besigtig. Baie dankie Bertie en Annie vir 'n fantastiese naweek by jul lodge. Sal beslis weer besoek. Volpunte vir julle !
