"Kinmel"

Carin Pelser

"Ons het heerlik gebly by Kinmel. Bergstroom was skoon en die kaggel was 'n bonus. Willem en Wilna is baie gasvry en vriendelik. Die stilte, rus en vrede was fantasties. Sal voorstel dat die skoonmaker dalk elke dag uitvee en na die badkamers omsien. Sy het elke dag die bietjie skottelgoed gewas. Die..."

Sal voorstel dat die skoonmaker dalk elke dag uitvee en na die badkamers omsien. Sy het elke dag die bietjie skottelgoed gewas. Die ronde rottang stoele op die stoep was 'n groot bederf. Ons het lekker gekuier en Kinmel sal ons beslis weer sien!"

"Our stay at Kinmel guest farm was absolutely first-class. Directions to the farm were precise, the hosts were warm and welcoming and the 'house' that was made available to us was very well equipped, everything we needed was there. Photos of the farm and area in different seasons against the wallsadded pleasure to our stay, as did the great stoep, the beautiful view, the warm bedding (can get cold up there in Rhodes) and the cherry on top were the 16 adorable Labrador puppies we were allowed to play with. All in all a great experience and fully recommended to anyone making the trip to this outpost."

We also enjoyed the open surroundings for the children to play. We were disappointed for the lack of snow, maybe next time? "

"Kinmel Guest Farm did not boast with brand name crockery or appliances, but we had absolutely everything we needed from teaspoons to towels. A pleasant spacious chalet, friendly staff and the star feature, the fireplace in the lounge with loads of wood. What a pleasure. We could not have been received with more warmth and hospitality even though we were so late arriving the night of the 9th. Highly recommended."

"We had such an impressive stay at the Kinmel Mountain Retreat. We received such a wonderful reception from the staff and owners, they came out to our car to welcome us and helped us to our room. Our room was in perfect order, it was fully equipped with more stuff than we expected. We were very happy. The Retreat is situated close to a small town and we were invited by the owners to come to the church fair that was happening that weekend that we were there. Despite the gravel roads the retreat was easy to find and had good signage. We enjoyed the amazing views that the retreat offered, we had a very relaxing peaceful time there. Thank you for the great hospitality, and I would go back anytime and recommend to others."

"My girlfriend and I arrived at Mount Kinmel in early June prepared for cold weather but what we were not prepared for was just what an impression Kinmel Mountain Retreat would make on us!

The accommodation is simple but more than adequate, with a premium placed on comfort and practicality without losing the country charm that makes places like Kinmel so special.

I was very impressed by the relative privacy offered by Kinmel. It really is an ideal place to come to experience the simplicity, tranquility and natural beauty of country life.

There are a number of walks or hikes to do as well as trout fishing on the property; or one can simply put another log on the fire and relax!

We left via the Naude's Nek pass and what a spectacular drive that is within close proximity of Kinmel - I highly recommend the drive but just perhaps in a 4x4 rather than a hatchback!

We had a lovely stay at Kinmel Mountain Retreat and would happily recommend it to anyone looking to escape and enjoy the natural beauty and peace of mind that country living offers!

"Accommodation is comfortable without being luxurious. It consists of two semi-detached units, each with two smallish double bedrooms upstairs and two bathrooms, one of which is downstairs. There's also an open-plan lounge and kitchen downstairs. The most pleasant part of the accommodation is a wide covered verandah, with a braai and a wonderful outlook towards the stream and over the mountains. They should get more comfortable chairs on the verandah.

Willem and Wilna are friendly and approachable. Kinmel is a working sheep farm, so expect to see (and hear) plenty of sheep. The walk we took went up to a beautiful waterfall, where we had a skinny dip that was nothing if not invigorating.

The variety of birdlife visible from the verandah added to the pleasure of sitting there - it included hoopoes, black eagle, lammergeier, finches and doves.

We spent two nights at Kinmel, and would certainly go back again."


"Visiting the Eastern Cape"

(South Africa) Mr Vermaak

"The facility overall was neat and clean, which is essential to deserve points. The facility is well equipped for either a short or long stay."


"Kinmel Mountain Retreat"

(South Africa) Mr Rust

"I was very impressed by the friendly and attentive service we received from all involved. We all had a lovely time for the duration of our stay. I will certainly be back."
