NANA VDS2024-12-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had the pleasure of staying at Zoetvlei and we cannot recommend it highly enough! The tented facilities were absolutely delightful—spacious, cozy, and very well designed. We were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and inviting the tents were, making it feel like a luxurious getaway in the great outdoors. The entire property was impeccably neat and beautifully maintained, creating a serene and picturesque atmosphere that truly enhanced my stay. Every corner of the farm reflected the care and effort put into creating a wonderful experience for guests. What truly stood out, though, was the warmth and friendliness of the hosts. They were exceptionally welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was enjoyable. From offering great local recommendations to being available for any questions we had, their helpfulness made a significant difference in our overall experience. If you’re looking for a unique and relaxing pet friendly escape, this is the perfect choice. We can’t wait to return for another stay!

Lovely venue and accommodation Lené Scheepers2024-10-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the pleasure of attending a wedding and staying over at Zoetvlei for two nights, and it was an unforgettable experience! The tents were incredibly well-equipped, offering all the comforts we needed while still providing that authentic outdoor feel. The ablution facilities were spotless and modern, which made the stay even more comfortable. The venue itself is truly one-of-a-kind, with the most breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape – that scenery was a dream! We also loved exploring the walking routes and spent hours bird-watching in the peaceful, natural setting. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature without sacrificing comfort. Five stars!

Just a suggestion. I wouldn't mind coming back ♥️
