Perfect breakaway. There is nothing negative I can say about this place. Our 2-night stay was so nice. We wished we could have stayed longer. Everything you need is available in the house. 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.

A must on everyone's bucket list. We loved our stay and we will go back! The most beautiful hobbit's house with amazing views! Host was very friendly and helpful. Lots of dirt roads to go for a walk and explore.

Little Karoo tranquility and natural beauty. It was peaceful and safe to walk in and enjoy nature. Would definitely recommend it. Lovely view.

Klein Karoo rustigheid en natuurskoon. Dit was rustig en veilig om in te stap en natuur te geniet. Sal dit beslis aanbeveel. Lieflike uitsig.

Wonderful! Our second visit to the Travelling Tortoise Retreat and once again a fantastic stay. We love the venue with beautiful views, bird life and listening to nature. Great chatting to Jeff again and of course buying some of his books to take home.
