Perfect couple getaway. We had a great stay. I have two recommendations. We stayed in the farmhouse, which is a two-bedroom, but only the main bedroom has a TV and the second bedroom doesn't. The outdoor furniture had not been cleaned ahead of our arrival because there were dead bugs and spider webs.

Amazing quiet and private getaway. We had the most wonderful stay at Minara. We left wishing they had availability for us to stay longer. The most attentive and guest-focused host who went the extra mile for us. The only downside we experienced was not having a prior warning regarding the state of the gravel road after the heavy rains, so we definitely took the wrong vehicle for the trip. The accommodation itself blew our minds and was very well appointed. Very private and quiet setting. We will definitely revisit Minara.

Thank you so much for this beautiful review. We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful stay and that the accommodation, privacy, and setting exceeded your expectations. It truly means a lot to us that you felt well looked after and guest-focused; that’s always our goal. Thank you as well for the constructive feedback regarding the gravel road.

This is something we will definitely communicate better going forward to help guests prepare and choose the right vehicle. We’re so happy to hear that you’ll be revisiting Minara, and we look forward to welcoming you back for a longer stay next time.

Highly recommended for a romantic getaway! We stayed at Minara Private Lodge for our honeymoon and had the most amazing experience. The villa was clean, modern, and beautifully decorated, and the private hot tub made it feel extra special. Even when it rained, we could still relax in the hot tub and enjoy a cosy evening using the gas braai on the covered patio. The peaceful atmosphere was exactly what we needed to unwind and reconnect. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Everything exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely return! We had such a wonderful experience that we’d happily recommend Minara to anyone looking for a relaxing, intimate escape in nature.

Fabulous. We really enjoyed our stay and the place was clean. The WiFi is a bit slow; however, the stay was excellent. My kids enjoyed themselves.
