We had a wonderful stay, and wish we could have stayed longer. Breathtaking location. The rock formations are spectacular! What a privilege to be able to share the cottage with the owner!

Ons het heerlik gerus, en wens ons kon langer bly. Asemrowende ligging. Die rotsformasies is skouspelagtig! Wat 'n voorreg om die cottage met die eienaar te kon deel!

Amazing place to spend my 80th birthday. Unique luxury, splendid isolation. I celebrated my 80th birthday at the Pod. It is an amazing place; sensitively decorated, extremely well and luxuriously equipped, and the situation is quite spectacular. We loved it.

One for the bucket list. If you desire complete relaxation away from the city, social media and television, then this is your spot. The pictures don't do it justice. Three times better in real life and lots of extras in the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. They were also very generous with the amount of firewood. Instructions were clear. There is phone reception a 3-minute drive from the pod. Vodacom and Telkom will be sufficient. Thank you for everything. We will be returning.

Rejuvenating. Amazing stay, it's a perfect venue for a complete escape and disconnect from the world. The river and ravine are beautiful and exploring was incredible.

Hidden mountain gem. The Trout Pod is a fantastic hidden gem deep in the Groot Winterhoek mountains. The location is perfect to get away from all the noise, and when you're sitting on the deck, it seems like there is no one for miles around. The pod itself is modern, well-furnished, and very comfortable. All necessary amenities are provided, and the pod is well-maintained. The views from the deck over the river below are great, and you can just sit back and listen to the water while staring at the mountains across from you. The river provides good fly-fishing and a unique opportunity to catch brown trout on dry fly, which is not common in the Cape. The only advice I would give to anyone is to make sure you bring everything you need in terms of groceries; there is no quick outing to the shops, which are 40 minutes away in Prince Alfred Hamlet.

Peaceful and remote. The Trout Pod is a phenomenal accommodation if you want to get away from it all. It is extremely well equipped and has everything you need. The setting is amazing with generous views of the mountain and Olifants River.
