Onvergeetlike ervaring. Rus vir jou siel en verkwikking vir jou gemoed. Die stilte van die plaas en die omgee van die gasheer en -vrou.

Unforgettable experience. Rest for your soul and refreshment for your mind. The silence of the farm and the care of the host and wife.
Upon our arrival we were warmly received by the hostess. Even though there was load shedding, they spared no effort to make us feel welcome. We were never aware of load shedding because the generator was always ready. The boma was such an asset where we could look at the stars until late at night.

Owner friendly, environment beautiful, accommodation nice and clean. Nice chat with the owner.
We were the only guests and it was Mother's Day, so I believe the owner did his part for Mother's Day and took over his wife's duties for the day! So we understand, to some extent, the problems there were, but for the price, which is almost equal to Bona Bona's rates, it's really not an excuse. The fridge and TV did not work. No salad bowl. No milk for coffee. We sat in the dark for an hour before the power came on. In the morning with load shedding there was no water pressure and we could not take a shower. The road was very bad, but probably the rain's fault. These are all things that can happen and therefore we would still recommend the stay.

Baie dankie vir u terugvoering. U het ,n selfsorg eenheid bespreek, dit beteken egter dat u u eie kos, drankies, ens. moet saambring (koffie, melk, ens.). Ek het self die TV getoets, u moet dit net op HDMI gehou het. Ons het n nuwe yskas in die eenheid ingesit. Die land ondervind kragonderbrekings, dus skakel die kragopwekker vanaf 18h00 aan. Ek het vir u al ons kontaknommers gegee indien daar enige probleme opduik, U het egter nie vir my laat weet dat u probleme ondervind het nie en sou met die grootste graagte u wou help.

Only stayed one night.
Because of the road I could only stay one night, it was scary to drive 22 km on a dirt road. No cell phone reception you slide, stuck all the way, I had to look for other accommodation. Worst was I owner said I am a woman alone with my child. Owner was friendly and place neat, but I didn't get value for my money.

Quiet, safe and great pampering.
For a safe stop if you are traveling from Cape Town to Gauteng, Sun City, Pretoria, Almar is ideal. The peaceful nature lets you relax after a day of travel. When the sun goes down you can sit and watch the animals come to drink water while the fire is ready to grill a sausage.

A weekend to remember!
We just want to say a big thank you to Louann and Michelle. We all had a wonderful weekend and it will be a weekend that will always remain in all of our memories. Thank you also for organizing the pony ride which the twins really enjoyed as well as the nice game drive - next time I will bring my camera, and when we have another family event in the area - you will definitely see us again.

Goeie dag Meneer.
Daar was aanvanklik 'n selfsorg-eenheid bespreek deur u reisagentskap.
Met u aankoms het u aangedring dat u eerder na 'n en-suite kamer wil verander. Daar was 'n prysverskil tussen 'n selfsorg eenheid en 'n en-suite kamer. Maak asb. seker in die toekoms dat u met u reisagentskap die regte kamer kies.
Ons het ook 'n goeie seleksie van rooi en wit wyn beskikbaar-u het n wyn van u keuse bestel.
By voorbaat dankie.

Peaceful and blissful.
There is a 20 km dirt road to the lodge. People with a regular car just need to be aware of that. The dirt road is not bad and if you drive slowly your car will handle it, however I believe if it rains a lot it will be a problem for a normal car. Other than that, it's absolutely worth it.

Far from exclusive.
Almar Exclusive Game Ranch 's response
We want to apologise for any inconvenience.
We just feel that we need to reply to the allegations. The unit you requested and booked is self-catering. There are no meals included. On the overpriced food, we strive to serve our guests fresh and well prepared meals. To achieve this, considering our location, our prices might be slightly above the average franchise in the city. Accommodation at a 4-Star lodge at R406.50 per person is a reasonable rate. If there was a problem, management is on site 24/7 to resolve any complaints if brought under their attention.
We thank you kindly for your review as our guests opinion matters a great deal.

From the outset, including the booking and advance arrangements, was great. What we expected, we got and more. The peaceful atmosphere, clean, neat buildings (rooms, dining room, etc.) and the very well-managed field make Almar a great place to just relax and then also to enjoy the hunt. Game to hunt is plentiful and the game is in good condition! Well done Almar!
