The Retreat is a real Treat for all those who are looking for a quiet place surrounded by nature. The birds in the morning and the rock pools are very unique but above all it is Marie’s exceptionally good care who makes this place so special. Many thanks!

The landscape and nature, lovely pool, garden, beautiful walks and friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast, meals served on the stoep looking out on the garden. It was nice to interact with the other guests. Marie and Erika were the most gracious hosts. We had morning tea and lovely rusks delivered to our room very early in the morning. The whole place has an old world charm about it. If you just want peace and quiet, this is the place to go.

The Retreat is a charming estate in remote Groenfontein. The main house is elegant and historic, with a lovely veranda where breakfast and dinner are served, giving an opportunity to meet the other guests (many of whom are return visitors). Delicious food, and Marie and the rest of the staff are very friendly and attentive.
