21 guests' feedbackFirst impressions are lasting. Can recommend with confidence as self-catering accommodation/pet-friendly. Really enjoyed the space inside, outside and on the barbecue patio. Communication with the hostess was quick after booking there until check out, information about the area and what to visit was also shared.
We had a wonderful stay, everything was just perfect. Bev is so helpful, sending every little thing via WP and e-mail. We slept great, we received sherry on our arrival. Nice fireplace that burns with wood for the rest of the weekend for the cold. The house is very nice and clean and received us very kindly. Our girlfriends couldn't get enough of the wonderful house and everything Bev did for us. She suggested all the places where we could eat or visit. See us again for sure. You can't get better than that.
We slept really well. Hey, hey! Beautiful view, very well furnished house with the living area and porch. Rooms are cozy, well furnished and very comfortable, the shower was amazing! We will be having a 'reunion' again next year and will definitely recommend us. Oh, yes, our 2 male children enjoyed it a lot too!
Our stay at Rhino Retreat was an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The hospitality was top-notch, and every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations. Both the owners and staff were exceptional, very friendly and professional, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our comfort. We would highly recommend Rhino Retreat to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay in Clarens. And also highly recommended for families with children.
Flipping amazing at the Rhino Retreat.
We had a wonderful stay!
Was more than we expected. Feel at home immediately. Had a great time.
The host is very responsive and the place exceeded our expectations. The welcome sign and champagne was a really special touch!
Absolutely one of the best places we have ever stayed. Surprisingly warm in the rooms and lovely deck area for hanging out. Was in constant contact with us and made so much effort to get as much information as possible from the area etc. to share.
Will definitely stay here again. Place is neat and cozy. Very nice visiting area and incredible view.
Will definitely be back!
Wonderful property, with lots of space for our group of 6 plus 2 dogs. Very clean and all amenities were provided. Maria was there to welcome us and couldn't have done anything more to help us. Lovely location just a few minutes away from the centre and some excellent walks. Would stay again.
House is very well equipped. Nice garden and well fenced for animals. Will definitely visit again.
The fireplace was perfect considering the cold weekend we had.
Fully enclosed no worries, pet-friendly retreat with lovely views. House had more than enough houseware for all our needs. 4 Adults and 4 children. Warm welcome and special attention to detail. Would highly recommend it.
All and more at Rhino Retreat. Very neat and would definitely recommend to family and friends. A must if you plan to visit Clarens. Plan to stay there again in the winter.
We had a lovely time and the house was everything and more than we expected. Bev and Maria made sure that all our needs were met. We will definitely be back and will also advise family and friends to stay here.
We stayed at Rhino Retreat with friends and it worked perfectly with 4 kids. It is walking distance from the village and we enjoyed every moment in Clarens. Bev and Maria are very cute and very hospitable. Thank you, we will definitely visit again.
Truly a gem in Clarens!
Definitely recommend. The service and help from the owners and Maria was excellent. The place is new, fresh and well maintained. Spacious for an entire family or group of people. Large grounds for kids and pets. Has everything for a comfortable and relaxing stay.
It was a lovely, relaxed visit with a very nice view of the mountains.
