Absolutely breathtaking. We were pleasantly surprised with the beautiful stay. The rooms are spacious and very comfortably furnished, with every amenity one could wish for. What a paradise! We will definitely be back.

Absoluut asemrowend. Ons was aangenaam verras met die pragtige verblyf. Die kamers is ruim en baie gemaklik ingerig, met enige gerief wat 'n mens voor kan wens. Wat 'n lushof! Ons sal vir seker terugkom.

Feel free to book your overnight stay on your way to Botswana here. Very neat and peaceful in the forest.

Boek gerus jou oornag oppad na Botswana hier. Baie netjies en rustig in die bos.

A piece of heaven on earth. What a serene and peaceful lodge surrounded by the majestic baobab trees and friendly game that come to drink water. We stayed at the Retreat guest house as a family of 12 and I would not have it any other way. The Retreat guest house was fully catered with everything needed for self-catering lodging, with beautiful modern farm furnishings and comfortable lodging. I definitely wished we could have stayed longer. Thank you to our host, who shared her details from the day the reservation was confirmed and was available and responsive to answer all questions, including recommendations of a photographer in the area, and accepting our call while trying to navigate road works/road closures en route and prompt responses when we enquired about gate times for a family arriving after 20:00, including extending checkout to sleep in a bit. From the hospitality to the location, we will definitely come back and perhaps drive into Botswana next time.

Loved everything about the place and will definitely book again for a longer stay. We enjoyed our stay. Beds were so comfortable, everything inside and outside was clean and neat. Enjoyed the beautiful outside view! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was superb. Will book again but will stay longer this time.

Tranquility and good service. Leonie responded quickly to our inquiries. Great service. We had a very nice stay, will come and stay with you again. The tranquility of the Bushveld and the night sounds. Love it. Milton prepared delicious food for us. We felt safe.

Rustigheid en goeie diens. Leonie het vinnig op ons navrae gereageer. Puik diens. Ons het baie lekker gebly, sal weer by julle kom oorslaap. Die rustigheid van die Bosveld en die naggeluide. Lief dit. Milton het vir ons heerlike kos voorberei. Ons het veilig gevoel.

The bushveld silence is incredible. What an incredible place with a beautiful view. The rooms were very neat.

Die bosveldstilte is ongelooflik. Wat 'n ongelooflike plek met 'n mooi uitsig. Die vertrekke was mooi netjies gewees.

Breathtaking nature with the goats grazing in front of your cottage. It was excellent. Andre went out of his way to help us after my wife fell off her motorbike on the dirt road, and helped us back to the tar road the next morning. Thank you very much, Andre.

Asemrowende natuur met die bokke wat voor jou huisie wei. Dit was uitstekend. Andre het uit sy pad gegaan om ons te help nadat my vrou met haar motorfiets op die grondpad geval het, en die volgende oggend ons terug gehelp het teerpad toe. Baie dankie, Andre.
