Nice
Miriam Hofmann, Germany

We had a relaxing stopover and enjoyed our stay in the hut.

Very pleasant, thank you. Nice welcome and everything that was needed was there. Will stay again if we need to stop over.
Great

It was different, nice and relaxing. Very nice countryside.
Enjoyable
Dion Pfiffner, South Africa
27 August 2009
We had an enjoyable overnight stay on our way to the Drakensberg from East London. The accommodation was cosy, the venue quiet and the hospitality great. I'm sure we'll be back.
Very satisfied with our stay at the Ripplemead
John Metzler, United States of America
20 August 2007
The eight teachers in my programme who stayed at the Ripplemead were very happy with all aspects of their stay--location, rooms, food, and the very pleasant interactions with their hosts. I plan to offer a programme for undergraduates in South Africa next June (2008) and I will include an overnight at the Ripplemead in our agenda.
