47 guests' feedbackWe thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Hare's Rest. Nolene was very friendly and we immediately felt at home. Our room was very neat and the donkeys were so cute. We will definitely go back again.
What a stunning place to stay. Immaculately clean. Everything you need for self-catering. Billy and Nolene are very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. Rescue donkeys on the property with a stream flowing through.
The lovely rooms were perfect and quaintly decorated, and the donkeys are such an awesome attraction. The weekend in Wakkerstroom itself was lovely, from the Saturday Market and street party that night to the quaint shops, restaurants, and history of the town. We got to meet one of the local artists, Louise Dainty (two of her paintings were in one of the rooms that we stayed in), who had her paintings on display in the town, and we bought two of them. We will recommend Hare's Rest for all who like to visit small towns and love to interact with the locals and learn about the history of the towns.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hare's Rest during our recent birding adventure. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a genuine passion for nature. The cozy room provided the perfect retreat after a day of exploring, and the comfortable bed ensured a restful night's sleep. The highlight, however, was the breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape from our window, allowing us to enjoy the beauty of the local birdlife from the comfort of our room. The attention to detail in the decor and amenities truly made us feel at home. Additionally, we will recommend Hare's Rest for all fellow birders and nature enthusiasts seeking a tranquil and memorable getaway.
We had a great time. The cottage is very well and nicely furnished with everything you need. The friendly service we received made us feel right at home.
Nolene and Billy were fantastic. The cottage was really clean and comfortable. We will be back and highly recommend.
Stay was perfect. Clean, well equipped, quiet, friendly reception, and I can go on and on. Almost seemed that nothing was an effort for our hosts. Friendly, willing and passionate about their establishment.
We rested wonderfully, which was the main purpose of our visit. We will return again for the fishing (and barbecue), this time was just too cold due to unexpected seasonal change. Billy and Nolene are very hospitable and the donkeys a treat!
Beautiful peaceful accommodation. Great service and friendliness! Room and facilities are clean and tidy. Small details that make it beautiful and make it feel homely. Own keys, beautiful scenery and good location. And we could barbecue.
Great weekend. Will definitely recommend it to other couples. Thanks, Hare's rest.
Nolene and Billy were wonderful and helpful hosts. An added bonus is that Hare's Rest is totally off-grid with its own solar power and spring water.
Felt at home from the first moment - Nolene and Billy are an amazing host and wife. The place is beautiful and you feel at home from the moment you drive in.
Apart from unexpected cold weather we had a lovely stay at Hare's Rest. The accommodation is complete down to the smallest detail. Billy and Nolene are the perfect host and wife and we can confidently recommend their accommodation.
The accommodation is excellent and well equipped. The owners received us kindly, were very helpful and the donkeys are a highlight!
Thank you so much for such a welcoming stay in Wakkerstroom. We will definitely be back. Your accommodation was perfect and just what we needed to finish our holiday. We love all the attention to detail in your cottages and garden, the afternoon chats, and of course your beautiful donkeys. We would highly recommend your cottages it was truly magical. We can't wait for our next stay.
We really enjoyed the bird watching in the area. Noeleen was very hospitable and we had a nice chat. The place is comfortably furnished and the garden is breathtaking. Our bird watching trip was very successful thanks to the information in the apartment.
A special thanks to our hosts, Nolene and Billy. They went out of their way to ensure we are comfortable and feel welcome. The cottage was neat and had everything we needed.
Nolene and Billy are the perfect example of helpfulness and kindness. Accommodation is very neat. The donkeys, the view from the hill and the beautiful nature scenes along the water make it the ideal weekend stay.
Die gasvrou en haar man is dierbare mense en het spesiale moeite gedoen vir my as 'n voëlkyker.
Highly recommend Hare's Rest for a stay in Wakkerstroom.
The place is beautiful. Neat and very clean. Fresh air, away from busy days is just what we needed.
Hare's Rest was a particularly beautiful place among the mountains. Safe, clean and very nice atmosphere.
The owners Nolene and Billy quickly made us feel at home with their hospitality. Here you get a nice farm feel. Feeding the donkeys every afternoon was our little girl's highlight. Nolene and Billy felt like grandma and grandpa to her on the farm. They love children very much and treated her with so much love and patience. Our vehicle broke down. Billy provided me with good advice and helped me get my vehicle repaired at Volksrust. Billy transported me to Volksrust 2 times at his expense! The Wakkerstroom flows through the farm at the foot of a hill. Most beautiful scenery! It is also a birdwatching paradise and the highlight was the 2 Spotted Owls that made themselves at home in the large trees on the banks of the stream. The accommodation and premises are very neat, clean and comfortable. Thank you very much for all the care and lovely visit. Thank you for going the extra mile with us. It is really appreciated! I would recommend Hare's Rest to anyone!
Thank you for making us feel welcome and helping us make the most of our day in Wakkerstroom.
We will most definitely stay at Hare's Rest again. Not only was it great value for money, but the chalets have everything you could need and they were immaculate. Nolene and Billy are warm, caring people and saw that we had everything we needed. Awesome place!
Jenny and Willie made me feel very welcome.
Very nice and clean rooms. Everything you need for self catering. Very friendly people. Neat and beautiful garden. Close to everything.
If you are looking for peace and quiet, want to see night sounds and starry sky and want to switch off from the hustle and bustle I can think of no better place. We will go again!
Nolene and Billie are extremely hospitable - it was a pleasant experience.
The apartment is situated in very lovely surrounds outside of town which we enjoyed very much!
Our stay was absolutely fantastic.
Very comfortable and very clean and tidy. Hostess is very friendly and helpful.
The stay at Hare's Rest exceeded our expectations. The unit was clean and tidy and very welcoming. Our hostess Nolene welcomed us kindly. It lies just outside Wakkerstroom. Close enough that we could just explore the town on our bikes. We will definitely stay here again.
Hare's Rest is truly a cut above the rest. A clean and well serviced cottage. Billy and Nolene have taken care of everything and are friendly and approachable hosts. Thanks for the wonderful experience we will definitely be back again.
Beautiful cottage - very neat and clean, well equipped. Conveniently located just outside the town, ideal for bird watchers. Billy and Nolene are wonderful people - very friendly and hospitable! We had a great time and the donkeys are a big attraction. We will definitely stay there again if we go to Wakkerstroom and also recommend Hare's Rest to friends.
Hare's Rest is a beautiful place just outside Wakkerstroom where you can enjoy the scenery and peaceful environment. The facilities are fresh, clean and neat.
Nolene was very pleasant and hospitable. Her husband was just as pleasant. The surroundings are very beautiful and the units were very neat and clean.
It is a beautiful place. The hosts were very friendly and the donkeys are just too sweet. Close to the main town. The views are amazing and their gardens very well kept and neat.
Thank you very much for a clean and tidy stay. The spacious room and open-plan living room with well-equipped kitchen made me feel right at home. The environment is extremely peaceful and beautiful. Billy and Nolene were like old friends within minutes. Thank you, we had a great time.
Noleen & Billy are excellent hosts. We really enjoyed our stay at Hare’s Rest.
Well equipped, clean, spacious and friendly owners. Will go back.
Beautiful clean place, lovely scenery. The lack of TV might bother some people.
Peaceful and well equipped stay.
Outstanding accommodation for holidays and for the business traveller. Apartments were perfect and clean in every way. Billy and Nolene went out of their way to make you feel at home. Hare's rest is highly recommendable.
My husband & I spent three nights at Hare’s Rest as a base for our birding trip in Wakkerstroom. The self catering cottage is very comfortable & clean. The Hare’s have put in a lot of effort making sure that their guests have a wonderful stay. With a full kitchenette, lounging area, comfy bed and great shower we had no unmet needs. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Hare's Rest is definitely a very nice guest farm. The people are so friendly and makes you feel at home.
Very friendly and went out of their way to help us.
