Guest Reviews
- Sandile (8/5): It was good - The rooms The pool is not clean
- Motloung (9/5): -
- Precious (10/5): Our stay was great - The environment was excellent and welcoming. I would like to give special recognition to Precious for her exceptional accommodation and friendliness. Her warm and approachable manner made the experience enjoyable and truly enhanced the overall atmosphere of the place While the overall experience was positive, there are a few areas that could benefit from improvement. The water pressure in the showers is quite low and may need attention. Additionally, installing air conditioning units in the rooms would greatly enhance comfort. Lastly, the sewage drainage system produces an unpleasant odor, particularly in the mornings when several guests are bathing simultaneously. Addressing these matters would significantly improve the overall guest experience
- Sechaba Masake (7/5): - The Manager was friendly.
- Tatum (10/5): -
- Mikateko (5/5): The stay was ok but not what was expected - I liked the setup of the place, the staff was very good. The setup of the family unit was good with nice cover for privacy. I visited the website before making the booking, I was expecting a full farm experience with animals and some bush walks, there is none of that. No strict rules for noise, speakers were blasted by other guests, quietness is only after 10PM despite numerous complains. We couldn't connect to the WIFI. The one bathroom for the family unit is not ok.
- Sechele (10/5): It’s a place I’d go back to 😊😊 - Everything was fine, ahh the hospitality from sis Precious was on another level.💯
- Steven (5/5): -
- joyce (8/5): - The place is good but the beds were not comfortable at all and they didn't clean our rooms while, while we were not around or changing bedding at all but beside that everything was good Beds were not comfortable at all, please they must upgrade the rounding fan to aircons cause when its hot, you cant even sleep in that room
- Reaodirela (8/5): -
- Guest (10/5): -

- Thandeka Maziya (3/5): - Precious was basically the only "nice" about this place The place is old and needs a lot of maintenance. The room smells of mold and we had plumbing issues. The number of spiders in the rooms was shocking
- Pieter (2/5): Not acceptable. - At least the bed was nicely made. The air conditioner did work. Poor parking facility. Poor outer appearance. The parts of the walls close to the floor appeared to have marks (brown marks). Found it similar to an old farmhouse, could not keep curtains open as neighbours walking past looked in. Noisy other guests, and were waken by another guest at 05:00 to find out if we owned the car that blocked him from exiting from the parking area.

- Bopape (7/5): Besides the shower and toilet it was a great stay, nice views and very quiet. - The location is great, great area abd very calming The family room is very minimalistic. 1 shower and one toilet fir the whole family felt a bit unfair.
- Palesa (10/5): I’ll definitely go back - The morning views were breathtaking The room was a delux and the owners were very friendly. Also thank you to Precious for being such an amazing host Absolutely nothing
- phetoho (2/5): Very poor - Left very early, because I wasn't happy at all. Everything
- Andiswa (5/5): Passable - The location was not what I expected, it's kind of not in a safe place The wifi was not working properly and they should try to put TV on the bedrooms
- Mpumi (7/5): Lovely mini breakaway - Precious was absolutely amazing! She was so helpful and friendly. Love the quietness and nature. Our stay was pleasant. Close to Harties Wi-fi strength in our room was non- existent.
- Melanie (2/5): Remove this place from your platform before you get more complaints! - Kristi my colleague did send a message to the owner with no answer!! Firstly, I tried to call several times the day before arrival with no answer from any of the numbers provided! We were very disappointed with the 4 sleeper chalet I booked, the rooms very dusty and not clean! Outside braai dirty, dusty and not swept. The sleeper couch was unacceptable not a bed to sleep in. No extra blankets for warmth. I would really appreciate a credit back for this paid accommodation. I spend alot of money on booking.com booking accommodation for my staff and this was very embarrassing! Regards, Melanie 083 555 3571
- Dirk (8/5): Very good -
- Valentiah (1/5): Bad -
- Cherise (7/5): Good -
- Cornelius (7/5): Good -
- Claudine (10/5): Exceptional hospitality and friendlyness from owner to staff! Well kept property. - We liked everything, the peacefullness, the exceptional hospitality from the lady owner. She helps everywhere she can and can recommend this accomodation to anyone. The unit we stayed in is a 10 out of 10, so well kept. Thank you for our great stay!! Nothing is not to like!
- Belinda (1/5): Don't go there!!! - Nothing, in the middle of the night we were into including other people. No animals on property and false advertising Nothing, in the middle of the night we were into including other people. No animals on property and false advertising
- Tumelo (10/5): I really enjoyed myself. I swear, i didnt want to leave. - The location is stunning, with a touch of bushland. I got lost. However i contacted the host of which she led us straight to property.
- Masingita (7/5): Good -
- Russell (8/5): Very good - Staff was amazing and helpful. The location is perfect for visiting multiple places around haartis. The environment was clean n the rooms were also clean. It was an overall good take... The rooms where hot the ceiling fan was beaten by the heat. If only they could put aircons in all rooms. The wifi was dead all our stay
- Phokela (9/5): Superb - The rooms were spacious and comfortable beds The location wasn't great, and the surroundings were dirty. The pool was dirty
- Aamena (2/5): Very poor -
- Masilo (6/5): Other than noise and doors connecting rooms, the place was super clean I liked it. - The venue itself is awesome.. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Rooms have doors to pass through to the other. When people talk in the next room you could hear every single word. Never mind when they enjoying themselves. I would advice the owner to completely build walls to close off rooms for privacy. The night was too long. There were visitors who came with a mini bus and had party whole night long.. The noise was extreme. There is rules about noise in the premises but management is lenient to allow visitors to do as they please.
- Junju (5/5): Passable -
- Kegorapetse (2/5): It was not okay - Unfriendly staff upon arrival, noisy guests (host couldn’t reprimand them) no microwave or bar fridge ( very uncomfortable)
- Katlego (7/5): Good - It's a beautiful peaceful property Disappointing that there was no mini bar fridge in my room and no little stove or microwave. Not sure why it wasn't stated that the room doesn't come with the appliances. Apparently it's only for family rooms 😏
- Keabetswe (1/5): Bad - I don’t like anything about that place their service is very poor
- Clearance (8/5): Very good -
- Rabelani (10/5): I enjoyed my stay - Everything . The room was perfect clean and very beautiful the reception lady Eunice was amazing sweet and kind
- Fakude (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emily (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dineo (5/5): Passable -
- Minky (2/5): Very poor - I got attacked at Rocky Hollow for asking the manager on duty to ask a group of other guests to reduce their noise levels at 11pm, when the rules state that 10pm is the cut off time for noise. She went to speak to them, when they wouldn't listen to her she came to my room to let me know that they were not cooperating. At this point I asked her what should then happen? I was prepared to wake my daughter up, back our bags and leave. However she was decided to send for the main guest of the rowdy group to be called to my space so that I could speak to him directly. She didn't ask if I would be comfortable with that, she just acted according to what she thought best. This man called Neo came, an argument ensued and he ended up pouring alcohol on me and tried to physically assault me too. Then more people from his group came to further attempt to intimidate me too. After this I was adamant on leaving, and Eunice (the manager on duty) and her son begged me not to leave, promising that they would call the police and ensure my safety for the rest of the night. In the morning I followed up with Eunice about whether or not she called the police, she told me she saw a van after leaving her my room and tried to flag them down but they didn't see her. She gave me a cellphone number of a particular policeman that didn't go through, I ended up reaching the police and on my own and they told me that Eunice would need to give me the aggressor's details so that I could go and lay charges. She refused to give me the individual's details siting the POPI Act, which she comfortably breached when she revealed my identity to the aggressor and brought him to my room as well as when she shared the "police office's" cellphone for number with me. I have a video recording of my conversation with her changing her story about calling the police on Saturday night, and then attacking my character when I told her that her story was changing.
- Werner (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paballo (4/5): the experience could have been better, it was underwhelming. - the scenery was okay and it was clean. the view could have been better. we did not like the size of the place, we expected on-site activities.
- Daniela (7/5): Good -
- Malele (8/5): Very good -
- Michelle (10/5): Best place ever - I had a wonderful stay. The staff and owners are amazing people who even helped when I had car problems and was having a panic attack. They are very accomodating. I would 100% recommend a stay at this beautifull place. N/A
- Avuyile (8/5): Very good -
- Acmeerkat (1/5): Worst stay ever - Nothing out was terrible This place is dirty, fulthy, full of cobwebs and dust everywhere.... And at the price which was a discounted price, no TV, no Wifi, light in room not working properly? Our little Heart ♥ hero baby Ashley deserves better place she will get sick or bitten by spider even cobwebs on the headboard behind the bed. No plugs in second bedroom. And for a self catering unit no grocery packing space. To top it all no hot water even after running it for 10 minutes, this is not acceptable. No good rating from us... Friendly staff, but bad place with poor cleaning maintenance...

- Masupye (7/5): Need a break from the city ? Rocky Hollow is the perfect getaway for such experiences - The peaceful nature surrounding the place is unmatched There is no wifi plus ubers are not available as the place is out of radius
- Molebogeng (4/5): Disappointing - I liked the staff very friendly and willing to help where they can. The place it's not as glam as it looks on the pictures. The place needs to be upgraded. We live in ages of loadshedding and they don't have a backup plan for that,there's more than three rooms but they only have one gas stove.
- Thando (7/5): Our stay was very pleasant. Eunice the manager was very accommodating and present. She catered to our every need during - The property was easily accessible and aesthetically pleasing. There was only 1 mirror in our room. There were no heaters in our room. The fridge was small. There was no WiFi. There was no TV.
- Mekgoe (4/5): Disappointing - The fact that there is no cleaning service during our stay, it's a no noooo.. There was an electricity problem for our entire stay, generator was used, which is also not powerful.
- Londiwe (5/5): Standard accommodation with a lovely manager - The place on the outside and inside is stunning with beautiful views, pool and lapa. However the bed is not the best, no microwave in the room or fridge where we slept, than the power was off from the evening we arrived until we left the the next morning after check in so you can imagine bathing with cold water
- Nazeem (6/5): Pleasant -
- Du (8/5): Very good -
- Jan (5/5): Budget breakaway. - We liked the friendliness of the lady that welcomed us. The area has a lot of places to visit to offer. Van Gaalen, Elephant Sanctuary and Jasmyn market. We booked the spot as a breakaway from noise and loud music. Unfortunately other visitors did not share this although the rules prohibiting music and alcohol were not adhered to.
- Veronica (10/5): Magnificent - The place is spectacular, quiet. The view and hiking was beautiful. The pool was clean. The staff was very helpful and kind. I love the place. No microwave or stove or fridge in the room. There was a miscommunication there.
- Nnethu (7/5): Good -
- Floyd (8/5): Very good -
- Lesiba (10/5): Its ok - Perfect Its ok
- Nokubonga (3/5): It was definitely not the best. - The location was good it’s close to the cable way in Hartbeespoort, the view was beautiful from the bedroom. The bed was not comfortable at all new beds recommended, the shower drain was not working we almost flooded our room it was absolutely unpleasant.
