Guest Reviews

What a great place to stay and relax.

What a fantastic place to stay. Our room was comfortable with en-suite shower and toilet, hot water and towels provided. Rooms were serviced and kept clean. Great atmosphere and large open lawns for activities. Horses, dogs, a tame lamb and a cat all added to the homely feel of Fels Retreat. Sarina always on hand to attend to requests – she even had a pair of water pump pliers handy when I needed one! Highly recommended, and I will definitely be returning there again, probably in December.

Helpful, friendly and very accommodating.

I had a team of 5 that worked in the area and found Fels Retreat perfectly located. They were very accommodating in the change of our program. I would recommend this to anyone visiting the area either for work or just an easy get away.

Asemrowende plekkie, rustig en het so tuis gevoel.

Baie dankie tannie vir die gasvryheid en ook aan al die diere wat ons so mooi verwelkom het. Ons het die tydjie daar so baie geniet, die rustigheid weg van die stad af. Ons hoop om gou weer terug te kom.

Pragtige omgewing, netjies en skoon.

Ons het dit baie geniet om hier te bly, baie oulike gasvrou, sy dra die belange van haar kliënte op die hart. Kan dit vir enige iemand aanbeveel.

Dit was heerlik om warm persoonlikheid van Sarina te ervaar saam met koue winternag in KZN.

Dis my tweede keer dat ek daar oornag en ek sal definitief dit weer doen. Ek voel altyd welkom en dis ‘n heerlike plek om te oornag van Richardsbaai na Gauteng.
