51 guests' feedbackWe had a great time. The place is neat and has everything needed. Will definitely use Henne's Rest again.
We had a good break, and the kitchen had all the amenities almost like home. The caretaker was very helpful. The only negative is that the dip pool was ice cold, perhaps a solar panel/heat pump would solve that .
Henne's Rest is truly an underrated gem. It is like a little piece of bush paradise, and staying there is truly therapeutic. Lorna was always willing to answer questions we had beforehand, and Liresia was always just a phone call away if we needed something. We didn't need to drive anywhere to see wildlife, as our daily visits were in abundance from the wildlife. Everything from nosy monkeys, warthogs, giraffes, wildebeest, zebra, birds, various buck and the majestic kudu visited us every day. The view across the river was amazing. We even saw a family of hippos and clearly heard them at night. It is truly worth every cent and the long travel from Cape Town. In a nutshell, the best and most memorable holiday we had as a family.
Loved, loved, loved this place.
Marloth must repair the damage after the floods. Always a peaceful holiday there. Can recommend Henne's Rest. Best value for money.
Nice place, we had a great time staying there.
It's heaven on earth, so comfortable, tidy, fantastic location.
We had a great time this weekend. Beautiful place. Will definitely visit there again.
Yes, thank you. Very nice and peaceful.
The weekend was nice. Saw a lot of animals and the place is close to the Kruger fence.
It wasn't bad, but the fact that the house sits on such a busy corner means that you don't really experience peace and quiet. On the website, it looks like the house sits next to the river, but unfortunately it's busy, everyone drives and walks past it. They expect everyone to wash their own dishes, which I have no problem with, but the things are not clean enough. I think they can check it now and then and please. everything was once.
Thank you to Liresia, she was extremely helpful and made us feel welcome. Enjoyed all the little visitors to the house, it was a treat. We enjoyed our stay and would love to visit Henne's Rest again soon. Hopefully, we can get to see some more views on the Kruger fence side next time, with all the rains the vegetation is quite overgrown but we still managed to watch the elephants drinking from the viewing deck.
Trees and bushes in front of house very high, which makes it difficult to see the river. No DStv decoder, just a smart TV that you need to use your own DStv account. Well Netflix. Wifi slow which makes streaming difficult.
This house is very comfortable, lots of animals and right next to the river.
Had a great time, lots of animals came for a visit, good service and very comfortable.
The house is beautiful, no complaints. We had a very nice holiday.
The pool was amazing, the beds were comfortable, the air con's helped with the heat and the whole place felt as if it was new.
Nice place to visit with friends.
We really enjoyed our stay as a family. The house is well equipped, great location and the fact that they catered for load shedding was very very nice. Liresia always went out of her way to help and always friendly. Thank you.
Amazing place with everything needed. Will definitely come again.
Most incredible place along the wildlife park wire. Animals too many to mention at home!
Great location, great animal viewing, lovely entertainment area. Well-equipped home and friendly service.
We will definitely use Henne's Rest again and have already recommended to friends.
We had a great time and the quality of the furniture is great. We enjoyed to feed the animals. We had a friendly host and good communication with the owner. All in all highly recommended.
We were very happy with the place and the inverter that was supplied and we used and was a big benefit.
Great stay. Communication was poor. Ended up without hot water to the flat for 2 days. No welcome intro, keys left in braai. Only found out there was Wi-Fi available 3 days into our stay.
Really enjoyed being so close to nature.
All in one holiday. Wildlife garden in our own backyard.
Even saw a leopard in the Kruger from the house's patio! A lot of game in the area of the house. Regularly heard lions roaring at night. House is excellently laid out with more modern finishes.
We had a great time staying with you and will definitely go back to your place again. The house is well furnished and has everything one needs.
What a nice stay. We even stayed another night and had a lovely stay. Wanted for nothing. Everything was clean and neat and beautiful! Definitely worth it!
Great service from owner and website. Good location, lots of wildlife around house. Well appointed, enough space for 12 people to stay in. 2 large fridges with more than enough space for storing fresh and frozen food.
Would recommend the place to anyone. Very nice. Everything you need was available. The owner may just have to think about purchasing a pot of pot.
Very cute place. Comfortable, spacious house. Clean and tidy. There was everything we needed and more. Animals visited us every day, including blue wildebeest, giraffes, warthogs and a variety of goats. Liresia was very friendly and hospitable on reception and departure and Lorna gave us all the necessary information in advance.
Thank-you so much for hosting us. The place was clean and equipped with everything we needed. We have stayed in many self catering places and this one was like home. We had many animal visitors and enjoyed the walks along the river.
The house a located within a few meters from the river with a great view from the viewing deck. Everything was spotless when we arrived. With a splash pool and very spacious entertaining area, this house is perfect for larger groups.
Enjoy the air conditioning in every room, especially with the December heat that has been there. Very nice lapa to visit.
Lights too little in master bedroom.
The accommodation is amazing! Easy practical cooking and living space. Sufficient space for a large group. High quality linen and beds. Amazing location as we had Zebra, Blue wildebeest, Kudu, Giraffe and many other deer and an ostrich visiting us! Best of all is the friendly caretaker Lirisha that make the booking in and out experience an absolute joy!
Thank you very much for the use of the beautiful house. We enjoyed our stay incredibly much. The house has everything one could need. The location is fantastic! We will definitely want to visit the house again in the future.
One of the nicest places we've ever been. Thank you Elna and Lirisia for your wonderful hospitality.
Clean, comfy, well-equipped and very well located! We were very well received by Liresia. The rooms and set up made connect as a large team very easy, but still allowing space to breath and have own time out! Thank you for an awesome stay!
Enjoyed it very much. Big enough for a large group of people and very convenient. All the people we shared with are lovely, good people and very hospitable. Several animals were at the back door and visited us more than a few times every day. Recommend Henne's Rest definitely for a large family.
Henne's Rest is a nice visiting house. The place is very neat and clean and wonderfully cool. If one wanted to change or add something, it would be another fridge. Storing 12 people's fresh food, especially with two babies, in one fridge was clever. However, this did not prevent us from having a very nice weekend.
We will definitely see this place again. Very tidy, all the necessary facilities, friendly service and opposite the Kruger Park. Would perhaps like more lighting in the rooms, but it's a small thing. Wish we had stayed longer!
The house is beautiful and the deck (where a night owl lives) a bonus. The braai facilities are top notch and the swimming pool conveniently close to keep an eye on the children. Thanks also for the water and ice machine that was available. Can only suggest that a 3-legged pot is purchased for families who like a nice visit pot. Thank you very much, the week was wonderful!
Henne's Rest is a beautiful woodland gem, perfectly situated close to the river. The house offers atmosphere and we had a great stay. I would definitely recommend Henne's Rest and will go there again in the future.
We had a great time and relaxed and will definitely stay there again. Very neat and a nice house to stay in.
A place to be proud of.
See stars.
