Nyl Retreat

Description

Nyl Retreat, a luxury self-catering country retreat, situated 9 km from Modimolle (Nylstroom). Nyl makes an excellent breakaway destination from the busy city life. Enjoy fresh air, unbelievable sunsets and be entertained by the night call of the jackal and owls. This perfect country getaway with style and comfort is nestled in the picturesque and malaria free Modimolle in the Waterberg region, and is approximately 130 km north of Pretoria easily accessed by a tar road. Come retreat in solitude in a very well secured, safe and clean environment.

At the end of the day guests can relax on their patio and anticipate the magnificent sunset; make a wood fire in their private lapa, watch the incredible night sky and savor the heady scents and wild night sounds of the bushveld. The King Fischer call is a constant reminder of the rich birdlife of the bushveld and enthusiastic birdwatchers and nature lovers will have close encounters with birds. You will find hiking trails on the farm with Muffin as your guide. The abundant bird life adds to the charm. It's a wonderful hobby to walk about identifying trees and wild flowers.
Guests can expect luxury accommodations and warm hospitality along with peace and quiet. From your private accommodation, wake to the sounds of birds singing in the spacious, stunning garden with swimming pool.

This is a paradise for nature lovers. Nyl Retreat offers the guest a choice between the two luxurious cottages and five thatched chalets that overlook the typical Waterberg bushveld. Each unit has been individually decorated and is equipped with quality mattresses, fine white linen and towels. Tea and coffee, rusks, soap, shampoo and body lotion are standard items in each unit. The two cottages share a boma, which is perfect for a Traditional South African Braai around a Bonfire. The units are serviced daily except on Christmas Day and New Year. Facilities include a pool in this quiet and tranquil setting, or walks in the beautiful garden and walking trail. Meet up with the hosts and talk about the history of Nylstroom. Solly and Rina love people and guests often become friends and return year after year.

The Nyl Retreat hosts and staff welcoming you will be Sollie, who is the hard worker and supervisor of the Retreat and is the day-to-day hands-on manager of the guesthouse. Rina handles the reservations and also makes sure that our guests have everything they might need. She also does all the run around shopping and errands, as well as marketing. Laurene is the owner of our lovely Nyl Retreat and is the best CA in town. She handles the finances. Evelina is the room attendant and is just too pleased to organise your room to be as clean and comfortable as can be.

She has been with us for some time now and is reliable, honest and very friendly. Stefaans and Dan are responsible for keeping the garden in such good form and will make sure that your braais are cleaned up. We also have four dogs and two cats Dierbaar, Olga and Günther are the three German Sheppards and will be kept at the back of the main house. Muffin the Jack Russell is the boss. He is very popular with the guests and you may be lucky to receive a privileged visit from him. He usually come and greets the guests or asks for something to eat. Please tell him huistoe. No problem.

Brutus is the smallest of the dogs but you will only see him on a distance. Spokie and Lucky are the cats that love getting attention. Please do not allow them in you rooms or feed them. Nyl Retreat is your home way from home, where it is all about quality and not quantity, and where we give you our full attention and treat you like family. Nothing is too much trouble.
