Witteberg Private Nature Reserve

Adre Marshall, South Africa

22 June 2010

We spent a wonderful weekend in the Witteberg Private Nature Reserve. The accommodation was good, and our hosts exceptionally welcoming, helpful, and happy to advise us on the best hikes etc. They are extremely well-informed about the flora and fauna and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. We will definitely be back to spend more time in this lovely area in the Little Karoo.

My stay was absolutely wonderful.

We had the perfect weekend getaway. The natural beauty of Elandskloof will definitely lure us back. The attention to detail and concern about our wellbeing by the hosts was always appreciated. Thank you. John, Lizelle & Nikalau
