Our visit on the way back from holiday
Nevena Sloan, South Africa

The lodge is wonderful, with friendly staff and all required amenities available. I definitely recommend it if you need to stay in Piet Retief.
Very good

Very impressive, upmarket accommodation with excellent cuisine. Thank you for a warm welcome and rejuvenating stay on our long journey via Piet Retief.
Best chicken pie

Bit disappointed at no air-con or fridge. Cleanliness and room very good, food excellent.
The perfect start to a holiday
Victoria Wallace, United Kingdom

This was the first stop on a family trip to the eastern game reserves and the coast. After an all night flight and a long drive made worse by all the roadworks, we arrived rather frazzled. But the owner and his staff were so kind, the place absolutely beautiful, with very comfortable rooms and secure parking, sensible recommendations for dinner for our young children, and a delicious breakfast. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you!
Excellent

We had a very pleasant experience and will make sure we tell all our friends, one of the best guesthouses around. The chef might need a slight bit more experience, the dinner was well presented but needed a bit more taste.
