Fantastic stay with host that know how to make guests feel welcome. Every detail of the unit was perfect, from interior, Bedding, bathroom consumables was top quality.
Owners prepared the BBQ for us after a day of sport and ended up having a great conversation about their travel and settling in Graaff.
Will be back !

Wonderful stay in Graaf-Reinet
Absolutely loved this B&B. Spotless, spacious, well appointed with lovely outside seating, a little plunge pool and a very gracious hostess. Very close to the main sites in Graaf-Reinet. Secure parking and good wifi. Look no further - I only wish we stayed for more than 1 night!

Average sleepover
It was a very hot day and the aircon was just not suited for the room. Was very uncomfortable.
Host was great. Average room in a typical rural bb. TV faces the opposite side of room. Not ideal.

Beautiful, Quiet and Quaint
Our time at Rietjiesbos was very pleasant and would thoroughly recommend. The room is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean throughout and has the added bonus of satellite tv. To add to the charm is an idyllic garden outside the front of the rooms. The hotel it self is located in a very quiet road with no through traffic and is situated a few minutes from the main road and in a perfect spot for the Valley of Desolation and Camdeboo National Park. The host was extremely accommodating and offered us the largest room on site which was extremely appreciated. My only suggestion is a sliding door on the toilet/shower to add more privacy.
