Great 2 nights at this chilled out little guest house on the lake. Friendly host to welcome you in after a long drive ☀️😎😁

The accommodation is very beautiful ❤️. Great value for money. The staff very friendly and easy to ask anything. I would recommend the venue to anyone who wishes to have a holiday with their family members. Great service from Annelie ♥️

Location is perfect, looks out on dam. Very safe and secure. Well equiped apartments. Warm bedding. Well equiped kitchen.

The mountain apartment has a lot of stairs to go up - bear in mind if you are elderly. No other issues!

Our stay was absolutely incredible. Annelie gave us the warmest welcome, even though we arrived late, she was so gracious and understanding. What touched us deeply was that she took the time to pray with our family, creating a truly meaningful moment we’ll never forget. We had a peaceful braai by the dam, such a special and unforgettable experience. The boat trip was nothing short of amazing and definitely a highlight of our stay. The entire place is breathtaking, a true home away from home. I sincerely pray that this beautiful place continues to flourish and grow, drawing in all who seek rest, joy, and connection. We’ll definitely be back!

Liked everything

The room was very special. Well furnished, warm and welcoming.

Location, chalet was excellent

None

This place is absolutely amazing. It's located on the edge of the dam and the views are breathtaking to wake up to each morning. We stayed in the family cottage and it was very private, cozy and well looked after. You can see that Annelie and Robert are really invested in making your stay with them special. The whole place is very safe and family friendly. Every time we go to Hartbeespoort from now on we will be booking a stay at Shabbat.

Absolutely beautiful

Everything was perfect...thnx alot Malome n Paulina

The host was fabulous, making sure that we were comfortable at every opportunity. Annelie though of everything! Umbrella at the front door, mosquito spray, crisp luxurious linen and towels, full use of the lapa, braai area and swimming pool. Amazing en-suite facilities, fresh flowers, immaculate grounds and accommodation! This was a last minute booking and Annelie not only accommodated us but went out of her way to ensure that our time spent was unforgettable!

Absolutely nothing!

We really liked the property's location on the edge of the dam, offering beautiful and scenic views."

1. It was not made clear to us that the property does not offer self-catering facilities. We had brought groceries with the expectation of being able to prepare our own meals. 2.. Parking was located far from the property, and no assistance was provided to help us carry our luggage. 3. The property’s door could not be securely locked, which raised safety concerns. 4. The main gate was difficult to operate, which caused inconvenience during our stay. 1. The level of privacy between rooms and other occupants was not clearly communicated in advance.

The place is absolutely gorgeous and the serenity is unmatched The host was attentive and so accommodating We highly recommend this venue

The property is right next to the dam with awesome view. A few steps away from a good restaurant

Nothing, everything was perfect

The carpet in the top house at dam edge was dirty.It need replacement.

The owner was so friendly, cared about oyr safety getting to the place, helped us out with luggage. A very lovely lady.The place was cute and beautiful.

Great location, beautiful views from the deck. Overall experience has been great. Will definitely recommend.

Magical view...comfortable unit...fantastic staff...well positioned.

The location was Great with Amazing Views of the Dam and mountain. Very friendly host Clean property Enough space for 4 people

Dogs discipline

The view

The lady did not clean the room

The treatment from the host. On the day for our check-in she sent a WhatsApp saying that she is upgrading us to a room with the dam view and I agreed to it, minutes later she then sent a message that it doesn't have a kitchen and I couldn't read the message since I was driving. Initially, we booked a chalet which had a kitchen since we were traveling with kids and we wanted to prepare our own meals. In the morning, the following day a politely sent her a message bringing the kitchen issue to her attention and asked if she could assist. She was very defensive and told me that I brought alot of kids whom I didn't include on my booking. I told her that on my booking I included the older one who was 5 years and excluded the 2 year old since normally most places don't change him due to his age and on the booking it already stipulated that even the 5 year old was going to stay for free. She then came with the lamest excuse that in order for us to be moved to the chalet that we initially booked, we will have to pay for it to be cleaned and the room that we already slept on and each room would cost R500 since she makes use of a cleaning company. I explained that bringing the kitchen matter to her for attention was not a complaint but asking how best she could assist but the manner in which she responded was very unprofessional. A few minutes after speaking to her, our WiFi went off and we couldn't watch the TV and we asked a staff member to bring it to her attention and she never came to assist. They also switched off our geyser and for two days in a row we bathed with cold water. From how we were treated, my understanding is that the host only cares about money, once they get your money, they don't provide the service that you have paid for and make you feel like they are doing you a favour.

Stunning homely atmosphere, clean, comfortable beds. Friendly owners, made you feel very welcomed, we will definitely be back.

Nothing, everything was perfect.

Such an amazing host. She made sure i was comfortable and had everything i needed. I was looking for a homely quiet getaway and Shabbat is definitely that...a home away ftom home Beautiful garden setting with a waterfront view of the dam. Pool was clean and just what i needed to set the tone for my peaceful weekend away. Would most definitely recommend to anyone and will be back!!

I really enjoyed everything

I think everything is super

Great location, the host Annelie is super awesome. I loved just how tranquil the place is, so much peace and such amazing views. What you see on the pictures is exactly what you get.

Cant point to one think i did not like

The location was great,very peaceful, the view was spectacular.

The view, the pets, the house

No breakfast, the access to the place for the first time

The room was clean, the braai facility clean and ready for use. You basically just bring yourself, the kitchen was well equipped. The view is to die for

The accommodation was lovely, clean and perfect for a small family

The view in the morning and the pool table and the swimming pool. Though the water was tooo cold but I enjoyed it

Nothing

I never got to see the place. The host cancelled via WhatsApp the day of the check in

Host cancelled my stay

It felt like a second home, the girls didn't want to leave actually suggested hat after our day activities we should come back to the facility to sleep. So they want to comeback in summer for the pool and jacuzzi😍😍

😂we were happy rocky moments because of the puppies as we are "dogphobic"😂but my friend loves puppies and they bonded so eventually got used too at a distance thought😊😊but nothing bad all was perfect ,puppies are well behaved.

Aesthetically pleasing rooms with water views, special attention to detail and a warm host. My family loved the restful stay

The property is very well located next to the yacht club and a very good Portuguese restaurant next door (Clube Naval) which you can safely walk to. Amazing views from the property and Restaurant. Host was there to greet us and was very helpful during our trip.

Google maps tends to take you in the wrong direction. There are no signs to indicate where the property is located. Turn right towards the dead end and the property is the last house on the left. This is however minor and acts as guidance to future visitors.

The hospitality was amazing. Definitely coming back. Lovely host.

The view was awesome! The unit was clean, safe and the host was always there to assist you.

There was a lot of stairs.

View is breathtaking 😍

Just a few bugs since it's by the waterfront

Beautiful view of the mountains and dam. Lady that checked us in was very kind and helpful. We got engaged and wanted to book a place with a hot tub. When we enquired with the host with regards to the hot tub she said that it takes 4 hours before it is ready, etc. We wished someone told us about it before the check in.

Had to request the WiFi password and the situation with the hot tub. Be sure to request it beforehand.

A place to be.

Nothing, loved everything about it.

Breakfast was not included

The Vallance family was great; the dogs are too sweet, the location so peaceful, so serene, so comfortable

Nothing, I wish I stayed longer

There was no breakfast option. We went out for breakfast but that wasn't a problem for us.

There was nothing I didn't like. Unfortunately a severe storm on the evening before our arrival caused a total power outage in the area which caused some complications.

The place is clean but we didn't use it

The host did not allow us in the property she said we are more than the people who booked and we were not. she was shouting and banging her garage doors. Called us lying criminals.

From the moment my partner and I set foot in Shabbat Guest House, we were enveloped in a world of genuine warmth, unparalleled hospitality and picturesque beauty. Nestled in the heart of Hartbeespoort, the guest house provided the perfect backdrop to a romantic getaway that exceeded our expectation. It was the personal touches and the genuine care of the staff that truly set the guest house apart. Our stay at the guest house was not just a vacation, but a journey into the heart and soul of Hartbeespoort. It a place we will fondly remember and eagerly return to, a gem that shines brightly amidst South Africa's many treasures.

Nothing.

A very nice property, well taken care of, clean, quite, with comfortable beds, good wifi and all that's necessary for a relaxing break outside the city. The owner is very kind, always available and made us feel very nice. In the appartment, it is possible to cook and do barbecue, even there is a washing maching for laundry. Secure parking is also provided.

Nothing really. It's a beautiful place and you can find whatever you need there. We only noticed an unpleasant smell in the bathroom but nothing too bad.

The Hospitality, the view.

We absolutely loved the location, room size and facilities available.

It was very very good.

There was no breakfast, self catering

I they had a microwave. I mean who says self-catering and have no microwave these days, I had to eat cold food.

Friendliness of the host and very helpful as well. Beautiful view of the dam and the mountains. Big room with comfortable bedding. Will definitely stay there again.

Google maps does not take you to the correct location when using the address.

A perfect little hide out from the Joburg city buzz . The cottages are very spacious and well looked after . Annelie is such a wonderful host and her daughter makes the smoothies on Earth ! We went as a group of 3 friends and had a very beautiful weekend. The property looks better the pictures and I will definitely be going back to that little piece of heaven .

Checking out and going home 😫
