Safe, quiet and enjoyable. It was 100% what we wanted, peace and quiet. It's secluded, but safe. We enjoyed every moment and relaxed. It's not close enough to just drive to a town to do some shopping, so I would advise any guest to bring everything you use in your own home. Wonderful clean linen and towels are provided, as well as wood on request. I even enjoyed the dam swimming pool (just bring aqua shoes), but the silence, the fresh air was absolutely a positive experience.

Veilig, rustig en lekker. Dit was 100% wat ons wou gehad het, stilte en rus. Dis afgesonder, maar veilig. Ons het elke oomblik geniet en gerus. Dit is nie naby genoeg om net vinnig na 'n dorp te ry om aankope te doen nie, dus sal ek enige gas aanraai om alles saam te neem wat jy in jou eie huis gebruik. Wonderlike skoon linne en handdoeke word voorsien, asook hout op versoek. Ek het selfs die dam swembad geniet (vat net aqua skoene saam), maar die stilte, die vars lug was absoluut 'n positiewe ondervinding.

Incredible scenery, beautiful house, has everything you can think of. Incredible scenery and beautiful house, we had a great time and stay. Would recommend everyone to visit, a weekend wasn't enough, will definitely book again.

Ongelooflike natuurskoon, pragtige huis, het alles wat jy aan kan dink. Ongelooflike natuurskoon en pragtige huis, ons het verskriklik baie lekker gekuier en gebly. Sal almal aanbeveel om te gaan kuier, 'n naweek was nie genoeg nie, sal beslis weer bespreek.

Awesome vacation. Wow don't know where to start, the house was amazing. The house was so clean with everything you could want. The view, the nature, beauty and stars at night. All the kids remember about the place are the stars. Will definitely be back.

Awesome vakansie. Wow weet nie waar om te begin nie, die huis was ongelooflik. Die huis was so skoon met alles wat jy wil hê. Die uitsig, die natuur, skoonheid en sterre snags. Al wat die kinders van die plek onthou, is die sterre. Sal definitief terugkom.

Would definitely recommend to those who love nature and desire peace and quiet. We recently had the pleasure of staying at Matjiesvlei Retreat Swartskaap in Calitzdorp, and it was truly a tranquil experience. The breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, crisp clean air, and soothing sounds of birds chirping and crickets at night made for a serene getaway. The rooms were neat and clean, and we enjoyed the charming company of a bird's nest on our porch. A surprise visit from a curious baboon added to the excitement. However, there were a few minor drawbacks. The 'pool' advertised turned out to be a dam, although we were welcome to swim in it. The kids were initially disappointed, but they soon adapted to the peaceful atmosphere. We also had to bring our own coffee and sugar, which wasn't a major issue. On a less pleasant note, we had two unwelcome visits from rain spiders, which did freak us out a bit. Despite these minor hiccups, we would definitely recommend Matjiesvlei Retreat Swartskaap for its stunning natural beauty, peaceful ambiance, and comfortable accommodations. Just be prepared for some unexpected wildlife encounters!

The stay was peaceful and relaxing but hot. We thoroughly enjoyed the big, spacious house with a beautiful view of the kloof and valley. However, air conditioning would be an improvement.

The accommodation was perfect with all the amenities. Black sheep accommodation was fantastic. Between the mountains, peaceful and quiet. The house was so clean and comfortably furnished. Scenically breathtaking! Can highly recommend this accommodation.

Die verblyf was vyster met al die geriewe. Swartskaap verblyf was fantasties. Tussen die berge, rustig en stil. Die huis was so skoon en gerieflik ingerig. Natuurskoon asemrowend! Kan hierdie verblyf sterk aanbeveel.
