Really great place to break away. Excellent, the place was everything that it was advertised to be and the host was most helpful.

Heaven on earth. How do you describe heaven on earth? From the communication before our arrival to our departure, every moment was an amazing experience. You are welcomed with a house that smells so good that you hope it never leaves. The house is clean, well-kept and attention has been paid to every detail. Rooms each have their own exit with the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Bathrooms are well-appointed. It is a wonderful place for rest, peace, visiting, lots of laughter and conversation. We were able to cook delicious food on the fire and thoroughly enjoyed it. The surroundings are indescribable and we were spoiled with a baboon troop of 12 and a few little ones grazing peacefully in the veld. Thank you to everyone who made our experience unforgettable.

Hemel op aarde. Hoe beskryf mens hemel op aarde? Van die kommunikasie voor ons aankoms tot en met ons vertrek was elke oomblik ‘n amazing ervaring. Mens word verwelkom met ‘n huis wat so lekker ruik dat jy hoop dit gaan nie weg nie. Die huis is skoon, versorg en aandag is aan elke detail gegee. Kamers het elkeen sy eie uitgang met die mooiste sonsopkoms en sonsondergange. Badkamers is goed ingerig. Dis ‘n wonderlike plek vir rus, vrede, kuier, baie lag en gesels. Ons kon heerlike kos maak op die vuur en het dit terdeë geniet. Omgewing is onbeskryflik en ons was bederf met bobbejaantrop van 12 en paar kleintjies wat vreedsaam gewei het in die veld. Dankie aan elkeen wat ons ervaring onvergeetlik gemaak het.

Thank you so much for your incredible feedback! Our team pays a lot of attention to detail, and it’s great to know that it’s noticed and appreciated. It sounds like you had a great time, laughing, and relaxing — exactly what this place is meant to be. Thank you for choosing us for your getaway. We hope to welcome you back for another slice of heaven on earth.

Baie dankie vir julle ongelooflike terugvoer! Ons span gee baie aandag aan detail, en dit is wonderlik om te weet dat dit opgemerk en waardeer is. Dit klink of julle heerlik gekuier, gelag en gerus het — presies waarvoor die plek bedoel is. Dankie dat julle ons gekies het vir julle wegbreek. Ons hoop om julle weer te verwelkom vir nog ’n stukkie hemel op aarde.

"Quiet the mind and the soul will speak" - 'n spreuk teen hulle muur. Beautiful view. Very well equipped house with everything you need. Fresh milk, eggs, rusks and wood with lighters was a nice surprise. We will have to go back to try out the cute Pizza Braai oven!

Pragtige uitsig. Baie goed toegeruste huis met alles wat jy nodig het. Vars melk, eiers, beskuit en hout met aanstekers was 'n lekker verrassing. Ons sal moet teruggaan om die oulike Pizza Braai oven te gaan uittoets!

Heavenly. What an incredibly beautiful area. The house had everything and more. Zani was an excellent hostess. Everything was well communicated. The silence is food for the soul. We will definitely be back.

Hemels. Wat 'n ongelooflike mooi area. Die huis het alles en nog meer gehad. Zani was 'n uitmuntende gasvrou. Alles is goed deurgegee. Die stilte is kos vir die siel. Ons sal definitief terug wees.

Awesomeness. Probably the best equipped house we have ever stayed in for a weekend. Everything was perfectly laid out. Awesome hospitality. Owners always available. I will go there again and again. Our new home away from home.

Seker die beste toegeruste huis waarin ons al naweek gehou het. Alles puik uiteengesit. Awesome gasvryheid. Eienaars altyd beskikbaar. Ek sal weer en weer soontoe gaan. Ons nuwe huis weg van die huis af.

The accommodation during our stay cannot be flawed. Thank you for the amazing weekend. The entrance to our weekend home away from home left us in awe. We did not need anything. Thank you for your contribution, enabling us an amazing stay. We appreciate you.

Delightful rest at the foot of the mountains with hiking and biking trails. The location is perfect—peaceful, safe. But it is tiresome to drive the roads to get there. Lack of microwave is annoying.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed the peaceful setting at the foot of the mountains and had a chance to explore the hiking and biking trails. We completely understand that the drive in can be a bit tiring — the beauty of secluded locations often comes with a few extra kilometres! Regarding the microwave, since our accommodation is solar-powered and designed to be off-grid, we unfortunately aren’t able to provide microwaves. We do try to make this clear in our listing and offer a more nature-focused experience, which is quite different from what you'd find in busier town settings. Thanks again for your feedback — it helps us improve and continue offering a unique and restful getaway!

Surpassed all expectations. The Garden Route Trail House surpassed all our expectations. Highlights for our family were: the serenity and views, the trail and rock pool swim, the generous stoep, fireplace and pizza braai, the comfortable beds and high-quality linen, and all the attention to detail. Thank you, Zani, for being a wonderful host! We hope to be back one day. One suggestion, we felt the indoor lighting was too bright in the kitchen and lounge area. We suggest replacing the bulbs with more gentle warm (yellow) bulbs.
