The rooms are very neat. Incredibly beautiful place! Tranquility by itself — you feel at home right away. Would recommend it to anyone!

Die kamers is baie netjies. Ongelooflik mooi plek! Rustigheid vanself — ’n mens voel sommer dadelik tuis. Sal dit vir enige iemand aanbeveel!

Peaceful, clean, friendly staff, beautiful surroundings. It was a wonderful breakaway weekend! Friendly staff and resident doggies, a tranquil environment and all the facilities we needed (including electric blankets for the cold). Maybe a good tip for future visitors: depending on the direction you're coming from, the gravel road is accessible for a low car (the one direction slightly less so, but still possible), but it is still a bit risky. Try to travel with a car that has at least a slight lift (doesn't have to be a full-on 4x4 but it would help if the car isn't a VW Polo like mine). Thanks again for a lovely weekend, we will be back.

Fantastic! Beautiful place and everything is very neat. Really value for money. Nice place to just switch off and get some quiet.

Fantasties! Pragtige plekkie en alles is baie netjies. Regtig waarde vir geld. Mooi plek om sommer bietjie af te skakel en stil te word.

Therapeutic. One beautiful, peaceful experience. The view is magnificent. Waking up to the sound of water was therapeutic. Booking was easy and handled with ease.

It was delicious! What a beautiful neat place, the rooms are very neat and comfortable. We also booked the lapa because we were a large group and it was the best option. The lapa is equipped for 20 people with a large table where everyone can sit. The rooms and lapa are serviced daily and are on the river.

Dit was heerlik! Wat 'n pragtige netjiese plek, die kamers is baie netjies en gerieflik. Ons het ook die lapa bespreek omdat ons 'n groot groep was en dit was die beste opsie. Die lapa is toegerus vir 20 persone met 'n groot tafel waar almal kan sit. Die kamers en lapa word daagliks gediens en is op die rivier.

Beautiful, neat and truly a place to relax. We had a great stay. Breathe is a beautiful relaxing place right next to the river. The reception was good and we really enjoyed the unit. It was clean and nice and cool with the hot weather we had. We will definitely visit you again. This time just choose a unit with its own hot tub. Lol.

Pragtig, netjies en regtig 'n plek om te ontspan. Ons het vreeslik lekker gebly. Breathe is 'n pragtige ontspanningsplek reg langs die rivier. Die ontvangs was goed en ons het die eenheid baie geniet. Dit was skoon en lekker koel met die warm weer wat ons gehad het. Ons sal julle definitief weer besoek. Hierdie keer net 'n eenheid kies met sy eie kol-kol warm bad. Lol.

Lovely peaceful beautiful place. Very beautiful and delicious. Will go again. Unit 4 does not have a bathroom door, which I think they can change. One thinks from the photos that it is inside the bathroom. It is inconvenient. But the unit and everything else was top notch.

Lieflike rustige mooi plek. Baie mooi en lekker. Sal weer gaan. Eenheid 4 het nie 'n badkamerdeur nie, wat ek dink hulle kan verander. Mens dink op die fotos dis binne die badkamer. Dit is ongerieflik. Maar die eenheid en alles was verder tops.

We have found the perfect home away from home. My stay at Breathe River Retreat. Wow, where do I begin. It is such a beautiful place and from the moment we got there, we could feel the peace and tranquility. It's just absolutely beautiful and has such a magical embrace to it. We are smitten and can't wait to return. The staff is so pleasant and friendly and accommodating. We didn't even want to return home; we felt we could have continued to stay. It's an absolute gem of a place. 10 out of 10 for us. Thank you so much.
