We spent a wonderful weekend with hosts Holger and Norma. Norma's knowledge of the area and surrounds were great. Fantastic view from deck to sip on wine surrounded by the beauty of the mountains. Delicious evening meals were served and breakfast was generous each morning. The room was spacious and clean. We truly had a lovely get away from the... More

From the moment we arrived we were greeted with a friendly smile and warm welcome from Holgar. Walking onto the patio and being greeted with an amazing view made the stay all the more worth while. Don't bother going into town for supper but rather stay at the lodge and enjoy the home made meal. The hospitality of Norma and... More

It is with a feeling of overwhelming satisfaction and sincere appreciation that I post this review on Acra Retreat Mountain View Lodge. My family and I had the pleasure of spending five glorious days at this unique and tranquil lodge nestled in the mountains at Waterval Boven in Mpumalanga. On our arrival, Holger (co-owner) received us like royalty and we... More

The mother was out of town, so not too sure if this was the reason for our more than disappointing stay. The son Holger was cold and unfriendly. We had to squeeze travel information out of him. Takes him forever to warm up. We asked for a cot after check in, he actually said to us, "we are lucky we... More

We stayed 1 night in the Africa room, which has its own deck. Nice room, good bed and wonderful view! There is a big lounge with a lovely singing bird and a huge deck with picknick tables. Everywhere you have a great view. There is a pool in the beautiful garden wuth lots of birds. Breakfast is great with fresh... More

This place is run by a very friendly mother and son team. They go to great lengths to make you feel comfortable and get the most out of your stay. Norma even drove us around for a tour of the local area in her car one day. They also gave good recommendations for dinner in the town. They have a... More

Large guest house in mountains above the town which is just off the main motorway from Joburg to southern Kruger. Good mountain views from nice gardens (with a pool in summer). Owner very friendly and keen to please. Good breakfast with lots of fruit. Could get noisy if families staying or fellow guests decide to make use of the large... More

We stayed here on route to Blyde River Canyon and Kruger park. It's great when arriving in Jo'burg in the morning, just a 3 hour drive from the airport. We stayed in the African Room. The room was very roomy and clean, with great access to the garden. Views are beautiful. The owner is very nice and does a wonderful... More
