A wonderful breakaway that still felt like home!

Reviewed By quaddesmark

We visited Acra Retreat in May for a 5-day breakaway with the kids. Not only were Norma and Holger fantastic hosts who catered to our every need, including organising activities, the house itself was warm and inviting. The room was perfect for us and the kids with spectacular views off the deck. The food was also a feast at every meal time! Thank you for making us feel at home on our holiday!

A very cosy hotel with comfy rooms and also quite affordable. Staff was friendly and pleasant. Our room had both the show and bath option. Very clean bath I must add. Big bed, clean linen. Unfortunately there was no bar fridge in the rooms.

Gem in the rough

Reviewed By Sightsee55399198841

What a great discovery! Shamrock Arms is a little gem in the rough. Sue, Belinda and their team welcomed us and made us feel at home during our 2 day stay. The rooms are big and spacious.The bed and pillows were comfortable and the shower was a welcome relief after we ran our marathon. The catering was absolutely outstanding and attention was given to our dietary requests. A hearty breakfast just hit the spot the day of our departure. Shamrock Arms is definitely value for money and the bar prices are very reasonable. The front garden of the property is well kept and immediately gives you peace and calm after the trip from Johannesburg. Thanks Sue and your staff for your hospitality we can’t wait to see you next year again.

Cruising on dry land

Reviewed By TheMomentHumansBlink

This place is just incredible. The view, the food, the wonderful crew and the overall experience is beyond excellent. We were looked after very well. The suite was kept clean and tidy at least 3 times a day. We were left to go about our own business, enjoying the facilities, the long walks, the serenity of the place whilst being kept company by ostriches, wildebeest, giraffes and more. You can do as much or as little as you want. They offer activities to include trips to Kruger National Park. Internet is available in the restaurant area. Log fires add to the charm. The interior decor is beautiful. A minimum of 2 nights stay is highly recommended.

A marvelous place

Reviewed By Jan N

Twin Thorns Guesthouse is really a treasure. The service is excellent, and whatever your plan is, the staff will try assist you best possible. Get first hand information on the area and must-sees (as well as things rather not to try), hop onto the Jeep for a safari or just relax and enjoy the amazing African landscape.

Fantastic

Reviewed By Swannies88

What a beautiful resort indeed. New management took over here, and they’re making a lot of new changes trying to breathe new light into the place. The chalet we stayed in was fully equipped and clean. Staff was friendly and the hiking trail was the best part of the weekend. Highly recommend giving it a chance. 10/10

Booking was made thorugh Lekkerslaap and the dates were incorrect

Reviewed By baudinepretorius

When we showed up at 8 PM on a Friday to check in, they said that they do not have a booking for us for Friday. We initially moved the booking from Saturday to Friday and we received a reminder that those were the dates. When I called the owner - he said that I should follow up with Lekkerslaap. He did give us another place to sleep but it is nothing like what we booked. When I said I want a refund for not staying in the booked guinea fowl - a large 4 bedroom place compared to the 2 bedroom place - he said it's not his problem and he is doing us a favour.

We arrived late (past 20h00) in the rain. Magda waited for us outside and showed us to our beautiful chalet with everything we need. She even brought us coffee! The farm is beautiful, wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely stay on the farm again.
