I really enjoyed my stay at Areena and received great service from them. I got more than my money's worth. It was truly a memorable stay and I would go back again.

Quiet, exciting and well appointed. Beautiful river view, lots of activities to do, and wildlife viewing from the balcony. Can't go wrong with a visit there!

Rustig, opwindend en goed ingerig. Pragtige uitsig op rivier, baie aktiwiteite om te doen, en wild besigtig vanaf die balkon. Kan nie verkeerd gaan met 'n besoek daar nie!

Timber No. 4 has the best views of the river - beautiful! Nice things to do - quad bikes take you to the most beautiful views and with the Segways you can get very close to the wildlife.

Timber nr 4 het die beste uitsigte op die rivier - pragtig! Lekker doendinge - vierwielmotorfietse vat jou na die mooiste uitsigte en met die Segways kan jy baie naby aan die wild kom.

Nice quiet and well-maintained accommodation. The tranquility of Areena is something that immediately catches your attention. Add to that the animals you can see as you move around the site and you have a winning recipe for tranquility. The place was very well located for us, because our children camped at the neighboring Yellow Sands. The room was very well equipped, although we did not use the self-catering facilities, except for the occasional coffee or tea. Had a lovely veranda at the suite, especially as a morning coffee spot. The cleaning services were regular and we didn't need to ask for anything. The only negative point we can raise is that, when my wife and I went for a walk one afternoon, we wanted to sit on the rest area next to the river (near the restaurant). However, fishermen left the place with quite a stench, which made sitting impossible. However, we had a very nice stay in a very neat and clean suite. One never got the feeling of being "too busy", even though it was fully booked over Christmas and New Year.

Lekker stil en goedversorgde verblyfplek. Die rustigheid van Areena is iets wat dadelik jou aandag trek. Voeg daarby die diere wat jy kan sien as jy op die terrein rondbeweeg en jy het 'n wenresep vir rustigheid. Die plek was baie goed geleë vir ons, omdat ons kinders by die naburige Yellow Sands gekampeer het. Die kamer was baie goed toegerus, ofskoon ons nie van die selfsorgfasiliteite gebruik gemaak het nie, behalwe vir die nou en dan se koffie of tee. Heerlike stoep by die suite gehad, veral as 'n oggendkoffie-plekkie. Die skoonmaakdienste was gereeld en ons het nie nodig gehad om vir iets te vra nie. Die enigste negatiewe punt wat ons kan ophaal is dat, toe ek en my vrou een middag gaan stap het, wou ons op die rusplek langs die rivier (naby die restaurant) gaan sit. Vistermanne het egter die plek gelaat met 'n taamlike stank, wat die sit onmoontlik gemaak het. Ons het egter baie lekker gebly in 'n baie netjiese en skoon suite. Mens het nooit die gevoel van "te besig" gekry nie, al was dit vol bespreek oor Kersfees en Nuwejaar.

It is incredibly beautiful in nature and nice and quiet, but still there is a lot to do if you are more into adventure. We really enjoyed the weekend. It was great to be greeted by peacocks every morning as well as all sorts of other birds, bunnies and goats that were quite tame. One felt so close to nature and could fully relax. We did take advantage of some of the activities available which were great fun, such as the quad biking and the spa. Will definitely go to Areena again and recommend.

Dit is verskriklik mooi in die natuur en lekker rustig, maar tog is daar baie om te doen indien jy meer van avontuur hou. Ons het die naweek vreeslik geniet. Dit was wonderlik om elke oggend deur poue gegroet te word sowel as allerhande ander voëls, hasies en bokke wat redelik mak rondloop. Mens het so na aan die natuur gevoel en kon ten volle ontspan. Ons het wel van die aktiwiteite beskikbaar, gebruik gemaak wat verskriklik lekker was, soos die quad biking en die spa. Sal definitief weer na Areena toe gaan en aanbeveel.

Beautiful, clean and tidy. Lovely surroundings with wonderful, tame birds and even a forest goat. Really very neat and beautiful apartment. Well equipped. Restaurant has the best chicken schnitzel I have ever eaten.

Pragtig, skoon en netjies. Lieflike omgewing met wonderlike, mak voëls en selfs 'n bosbokooi. Werklik bitter netjies en mooi woonstel. Goed toegerus. Restaurant het lekkerste hoender schnitzel wat ek ooit geëet het.

We loved our stay but our unit no. 11 was quite noisy being close to reception. We had a problem with reception not believing that we had returned our paddles. Otherwise we enjoyed the resort very much.

Ons het baie lekker gebly, maar ons eenheid 11 was nogal rasering omdat dit naby ontvangs was. Ons het 'n probleem met ontvangs gehad wat nie wou glo dat ons die paddles teruggegee het nie. Anders het ons lekker gebly.
