Reviews of Rhino Retreat Clarens

The view is beautiful and the home so comfortable with everything you could possibly need. We had the most amazing time and would definitely stay again

Nothing at all. It was amazing

View , big house and beautiful town

Rhino Retreat Clarens delivered a truly relaxing experience with its breathtaking views and serene atmosphere. The design is warm and stylish, and it’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down, soak in the landscape, and unwind. The surrounding nature really does the soul good. Waking up to mountain views and ending the day under a starry sky with a fire crackling nearby.

There were, however, a few things that held it back from being a full 5-star experience for us. The toilet seats were loose, and the beds weren’t particularly comfortable — little details, but ones you notice after a few nights. Also worth noting: the retreat is located right off a busy road and fairly close to a soccer stadium, which brought some unexpected noise, especially on game days. That said, once you’re indoors, the space does an amazing job of keeping things peaceful — it still felt like a private haven despite the occasional outside buzz. Still, it’s a beautiful spot that we’d recommend to anyone looking to disconnect and recharge in nature.

Just loved the attention to detail, especially the dog treats and dog beds. Superb hosting by Bev and Duncan.

This property made us feel as being at home . There was an attention to detail that is hard to find nowadays, everything that we could have wished for was actually available there . the house was spotlessly clean , all the appliances were in perfect condition, there was nothing that we could have wished for that was missing. Bev , thank you very much for the wonderful time we had while being guests in your house!

From start to end, our experience was perfection. After confirmation of booking, Bev introduced herself and provided us with all the information of what there is to do in and around Clarens and to find out if we had any special requirements. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Bevs caretaker, who was so warm and sweet. The house was absolutely beautiful. From the unbelievably well thought-out decor and top level of hygiene, our jaws were on the floor! We were even welcomed with a personalised card and delicious sherry. We also can not forget the view from the top deck. Waking up to fresh coffee early in the morning and sitting outside with that view has imprinted forever. Nothing other than your clothing and food is required. Bev has thought of it all and not only for the humans but the pups, too. We were provided with what looked to be a fresh/new dog bed, organic dog treats, and fresh water in a provided dog bowl. This truly is home away from home. Bev, thank you for being the hostess with the mostess. We will be back, and this will be our forever Clarens home!

Nothing, it was incredible.

Location was perfect with an amazing view. The venue was incredible and very welcoming. Bev, was a very attentive and gracious host. We'll definitely be coming back again, it felt like home away from home.

Nothing

It's a beautiful house with stunning decor and a breathtaking view. It felt like home the minute we entered the living area. Everything was clean, accessible and practically stored. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms spotless and a cosy fireplace on each level to help with the chilly winter nights. The wifi connection is strong and fast. We loved every moment.

Nothing! Everything was exceptional.

We loved the location. The home is beautiful and you can see there was a lot of love incorporated when this house was designed.

Absolutely nothing

Excellent!!!

The house had everything we could possibly need, and the bedrooms and floors were surprisingly warm. The view is amazing!!! Using the fire pit during loadshedding showed us the MOST stars that we have seen in a long time. The house is close to the square, and next to a tar road. It is pet friendly, so next time we can bring our doggos with! There is filtered water on tap! The hammock seat on the deck was a favourite! Basic cleaning materials were supplied to us, which meant we did not have to bring them with us. Towels and bedding are nice and crisp and the block out curtains made sleeping in, a bit easier. More than enough lights were supplied for when there is loadshedding, and a kettle to use on the gas stove, plus the wifi kept working! It was just an amazing stay, wish we could stay for longer!

The steep entrance/dip by the gate made it a bit of a challenge to enter with a bike rack on the back of the car, I suspect the same would apply for a trailor. It was not something that we could not work around, but we had to unplug it and carry it in manually.

The property was clean, wide open, spacious and the grounds were amazing. We took one night out to introduce our friend who had traveled from Canada to a proper Braii. The built in Braii was perfect. Close to town to enjoy the restaurants there but you probably don't need to go there. This property was perfect! Thanks Bev, Maria et al!

That I couldn't stay longer. Not their fault but there was another guest. We'll be back!

it’s family friendly, gave us a homely feeling. absolutely loved the place.
