Lovely, comfortable and peaceful. Very friendly hostess who spoiled us with her own garlic pesto! The room and bathroom were clean and tidy. The bed and mattress were also exceptionally comfortable.

Heerlik, gemaklik en rustig. Baie vriendelike gasvrou wat ons bederf het met haar eie knoffelpesto! Die kamer en badkamer was skoon en netjies. Die bed en matras was ook uitsonderlik gemaklik.

It's a very pleasant, cozy place with everything you could need. We had a great stay. Had to get creative with the space when we wanted to braai in the cold, but certainly not impossible.

Dis 'n baie aangename knus plekkie met alles wat jy kan nodig kry. Ons het lekker gebly. Moes kreatief werk met die spasie toe ons wou braai in die koue, maar vir seker nie onmoontlik nie.

So delicious! We had a great stay! Uncle Roy is very friendly and happy to share advice about Clarens. We were very close to town, but also far enough from the chaos. We felt very safe and walked into town every day.

So lekker! Ons het lekker gebly! Oom Roy is baie vriendelik en deel graag advies oor Clarens. Ons was lekker naby aan die dorp, maar ook ver genoeg van die chaos af. Ons het baie veilig gevoel en het elke dag dorp toe gestap.

Very peaceful and definitely a place to stay to clear your head. They were very friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Baie rustig en beslis 'n plek om te bly om jou kop skoon te maak. Was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Hulle gaan uit hul pad om jou verblyf so gerieflik moontlik te maak.

Very comfortable resting place. Very comfortable room to stay in. Bed was probably the most comfortable we slept in during our entire vacation together.

Baie gemaklike rusplek. Baie gemaklike kamer om in oor te bly. Bed was waarskynlik die gemaklikste wat ons in geslaap het gedurende ons hele vakansie saam.

Quiet, comfortable, everything you need. Not 'fancy'. The first impression of Woodlands Retreat is not good. But wait until you get in. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you, we'll see you again!

Rustig, gemaklik, alles wat jy nodig het. Nie 'opgesmuk' nie. Die eerste indruk van Woodlands Retreat is nie goed nie. Maar wag tot jy in is. Ons het werklik baie lekker gebly. Dankie, ons sien julle weer!

Baie dankie, Lammie, vir 'n honest, carefully thought out review (scuse my Afrikaans is nie goed nie). We appreciate the thought you put into your wording. We would like to clarify for the reader why possibly first impressions were not so great. We are converting our garden into a Food Forest, growing natural healthy veg, salad and herbs. So we have wood ready for chipping, loads of good loam soil to mix with our heavy clay and of course beds being cleared to give way to edibles, lawn being lifted etc. We are also transplanting larger plants to the exterior verge near the driveway and some of them are taking their time to recover from transplanting. Soon we will be back to a lush vibrant abundant garden. Whoop whoop!

Will definitely stay there again. Very central and safe with everything needed, even though it is very small. Lovely, friendly owner with lots of information about the area. Very affordable!

Sal definitief weer daar gaan bly. Baie sentraal en veilig met alles wat benodig word, al is dit baie klein. Pragtige, vriendelike eienaar met baie inligting oor die omgewing. Baie bekostigbaar!

Baie dankie Anne-Mari It was a pleasure hosting you and your hubby, such lovely happy visitors, and an absolute joy to have you here. Yes, our two suites are cosy, which is reflected by the nightly rate. However, as you noticed, all our finishes are of good quality, with cotton linen, tea, coffee, rusks, and fresh milk, plus housekeeping if one prefers to opt in, great hot water with good water pressure. And last but not least, we are surrounded by beauty - the lovely greenery and mountains, plus being just far enough away from the square to get a good night's sleep when the party people are going a bit wild! Woodlands is the place to be if one wants peace and relaxation. Look forward to hosting you both again, warmest wishes, Sherrene and Roy.
