We came back refreshed from our stay at The Traveling Tortoise. We had a wonderful stay and were able to recharge our batteries in nature. Thanks to Gerrie and Marinda for their hospitality.

Ons het verfris teruggekom na ons verblyf by The Travelling Tortoise. Ons het heerlik gebly en kon ons batterye laai in die natuur. Dankie aan Gerrie en Marinda vir hulle gasvryheid.

Very nice. We had a great stay at The Traveling Tortoise, the accommodation was top notch, the children really enjoyed the play area.

Baie lekker. Ons het baie lekker gebly by The Travelling Tortoise, die verblyf was uit die boonste boeke gewees, die kinders het die speelarea baie geniet.

Karoo views from a hot tub. The accommodation has beautiful surroundings and views. The hot tub was such a winner. Lovely space, very clean and comfortable. It has everything you need for a getaway.

Breathtakingly beautiful. The Traveling Tortoise Retreat is a beautiful place to experience tranquility. The unit was well appointed and the creative decor was a highlight. The view is breathtaking and the host was incredibly helpful and friendly.

Asemrowend mooi. Die Travelling Tortoise Retreat is 'n pragtige plek om rustigheid te ervaar. Die eenheid was keurig ingerig en die kreatiewe dekor was 'n hoogtepunt. Die uitsig is asemrowend en die gasheer was ongelooflik behulpsaam en vriendelik.

And a big thank you to Gerrie. Thank you very much for making our stay so comfortable for us. Thank you very much for your kindness and for always making sure we are ok. Hope you could count all the ostriches. Will definitely come again.

Picturesque surroundings, fantastic accommodation. We had a wonderful rest. The Traveling Tortoise Retreat is exactly what they advertise. "Off the grid" outside the noise between the breathtaking mountains. Unit (Hinge Back) probably had the best view and was neatly furnished. We had a wonderful stay. Jeff stopped by often and made sure everything was perfect.

Beeldskone omgewing, fantastiese verblyf. Ons het heerlik gerus. The Travelling Tortoise Retreat is presies wat hulle adverteer. "Off the grid" buite die geraas tussen die asemrowende berge. Eenheid (Hinge Back) het vir seker die beste uitsig en was netjies ingerig. Ons het heerlik gebly. Jeff het gereeld kom inloer en seker gemaak alles is perfek.

It was delicious! We had a great time! Jeff made a lot of extra effort to make our stay extra nice! Would recommend to anyone who needs some peace and quiet.

Dit was heerlik! Ons het heerlik gekuier! Jeff het baie ekstra moeite gedoen om ons verblyf ekstra lekker te maak! Sal dit aanbeveel vir almal wat 'n bietjie rus en vrede nodig het.
