Relaxing and beautiful. Beautiful accommodation with everything you need. The play area and swimming pool are ideal for small children. Very neat and clean.

Ontspannend en beeldskoon. Pragtige verblyf met alles wat benodig word. Die speelarea en swembad is ideaal vir klein kinders. Baie netjies en skoon.

Satisfied, relaxed, breathtaking. It was definitely a very nice place to stay. I definitely recommend the place to anyone.

Tevrede, uit gerus, asemrowend. Dit was vir seker 'n baie lekker plek om by te bly. Ek beveel beslis die plek aan enige iemand aan.

The place reminds you of the story of the hare and the tortoise. It was really nice and something different.

Die plekkie laat jou dink aan die storie van die hasie en skilpad. Dit was nou baie lekker en iets anders.

Blissful, relaxing and beautiful. Was amazing and peaceful. They cater for children with a play area and pool, which is great. You definitely need more of a high-rise car when driving in the resort. The sunset and stars were amazing to see at night. I cannot wait to go back.

Very pleasant stay with all the basics plus two lovely swimming pools. A good place to relax and enjoy the view. Lots of quiet roads for mountain biking or running. Close to De Rust.

De Rust is a beautiful village and Meiringspoort is always worth a visit. We were there during a heat wave and an extra fan/ceiling fan would have been nice. The place doesn't have enough seating for a group of 6, especially outside. Wood fire pit only used once. (in the sun with no shelter). Maintenance needs attention. (some of the windows can't open, wood needs paint etc.).

De Rust is 'n pragtige dorpie en Meiringspoort is altyd 'n besoek werd. Ons was daar gedurende 'n hittegolf en 'n ekstra waaier / dakwaaier sou lekker gewees het. Die plekkie het nie genoeg sitplek vir 'n groep van 6, veral buite. Houtvuurbad net een keer gebruik. (in die son met geen beskutting). Instandhouding kort aandag. (van die vensters kan nie oopmaak, hout kort verf ens.).

Can recommend, maybe not to everyone's taste. Peaceful atmosphere. Nice stay, view was very nice, just a shame it was very hot and there wasn't a decent fan available. (Or maybe air conditioning) Value for money/cost was right.

Kan aanbeveel, dalk nie in almal se smaak nie. Rustige atmosfeer. Lekker gebly, uitsig was baie mooi, net jammer dit was baie warm en daar was nie 'n ordentlike waaier beskikbaar nie. (Of miskien lugreëling) Waarde vir geld/koste was reg.

Picture-perfect and lovely accommodation. The cottage is very well laid out and the hot tub is lovely. The peaceful surroundings did us a lot of good! We would definitely recommend it. Just remember to buy wood in De Rust!

Prentjie mooi en lieflike verblyf. Die huisie is baie goed uiteengesit en die warmbad is heerlik. Die rustige omgewing het ons baie goed gedoen! Ons sal dit definitief aanbeveel. Onthou net om hout te koop in De Rust!
