Voldoende ruimte, supervriendelijk personeel, lekker eten en elektrische dekens op de bedden.
Loved the farm with all the very friendly dogs, cows, ducks, goats, pigs etc. The walking trails and the tasty breakfast add to the peaceful atmosphere.

Gudrun, the owner is such a lovely lady and very helpful. Breakfast was excellent, and being able to buy dinner to warm up was great. The house had a lovely outlook over the lake and it seems a great place for children.
The house could do with updating, as looking rather tired. In the winter, the bathroom most definitely needs some form of heating. For us the pillows were too hard!
So pretty
The location and view is magical. The hostess Gudrun was super friendly and the frozen meals she prepared were delicious. So was the beautifully presented breakfast.
The house could have been a little cleaner in some areas.
Freundlichkeit der Besitzerin. Die Lage und die tolle Atmosphäre.

The house - Robin’s Rest
Es war einfach alles wundervoll. Wir liebten die Aussicht, die Ruhe, die Tiere, die Freundlichkeit, natürlich das außergewöhnliche Frühstück, die Möglichkeit der „Selbstversorgung“ mit vorbereiteten Speisen. Die liebevoll gestaltete Anlage war so einladend.
Nichts.
Beautiful surroundings, friendly host and staff, lovely rooms, excellent breakfasts.
Road conditions not great, many potholes
Beautiful farm with friendly people and great views.
Bring mosquito spray :)
Ein tolles Konzept für Komfort auf einer echten Farm! Tiere, Minigolf, selbstgekochtes Essen und zig Möglichkeiten. Auch etwas für Dusk to Dawn to Dawn to Dawn.
Die Anfahrt ist etwas abenteuerlich über eine Schotterstraße aber es geht auch ohne Allrad und lustige Schilder halten einen bei Laune.
Alle waren sehr freundlich. Toll, war dass es Essen im Kühlschrank/Gefrierfach gab und man sich das zu Hause warm machen konnte.
Außergewöhnliche Lage mit toller und sehr tolle Anlage mit vielfältigen Eindrücken. Selbstgemachte Verpflegung und Getränke konnten zu angemessenen Preisen erworben werden. Das Frühstück war auch hervorragend
Kilometerlange Anfahrt über Schotterpiste
Wir haben auf dem Weg zum Krüger eine Nacht hier verbracht und waren total begeistert. Unser Häuschen hatte einen wunderbaren Blick in die Natur, und morgens konnten wir aus dem Bett den Sonnenaufgang betrachten. Alles war geschmackvoll eingerichtet und sauber. Gudrun, die Besitzerin hat uns herzlich empfangen. Man kann sich mit verschiedenen TK-Gerichten versorgen, die man sich in der eigenen Küche warm macht. Mittags hatten wir einen leckeren frischen Salat. Auch das Frühstück war super reichhaltig und lecker. Im Gemeinschaftsbereich gibt es sogar einen Pool. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würden hier jederzeit wieder übernachten.
This was the perfect place to stay over on our way back from the Thonga trail. The self-catering units are well equipped, and food and beverages required for dinner can be purchased on the farm. The delicious breakfast was a bonus.
we liked everything
Einfach alles! Wir haben kostenlos ein Upgrade bekommen. Das Haus war perfekt und liebevoll eingerichtet! Die Gastgeberin war herzlich und hat uns jeden Wunsch von den Lippen abgelesen. Die Unterkunft liegt sehr ländlich und ruhig, was uns sehr gefallen hat. Man kann kann die Blicke streifen lassen. Das gesamte Anwesen ist sehr gepflegt.Das Frühstück ist überragend - wer das nicht in Anspruch nimmt hat etwas verpasst. Wir haben nach 7 Tagen SANParks im Krüger diesen Luxus sehr genossen. Die Unterkunft ist gut erreichbar, wenn man die N2 weiterfährt, bis das Haus ausgeschildert ist. Mit einem tiefergelegten 3er werden die letzten Meter etwas schwer 😅
Das ganze Areal der Lodge ist wunderschön angelegt. Man konnte im Deli vor Ort eine grosse Auswahl an Abendessen / Getränken und Desserts einkaufen und alles mit Aussicht am Abend geniessen. Alkes schmeckte perfekt. Um uns herum lauter Schwalben im Tiefflug. Im Teich quaken die Frösche. Die Rinder blöken. Es war wunderbar. Im Haus war nichts was wir vermissten. Ich hab vor allem die dicken Bettdecken geschätzt. Gudrun ist eine perfekte Gastgeberin.

Absolut ruhig gelegen, toller Service! Freundlicher Empfang, sehr nettes Personal und ein grossartiges Frühstück! Das Nachtessen mit den lokalen Produkten konnten wir Ofen wärmen und war lecker!

The real farm experience. The scenery and the quiet (except the peacocks 😊)
Beautiful stop over destination, amazing breakfast

prachtige ligging, omringd door weilanden en heel veel koeien!

Everything, from the frozen dinners wine selection and presentation of breakfast at affordable rates
Blitz und Donner. Ein schönes Guesthouse mit Sicht in die unendliche Weite. Wir haben eine Nacht in der umzäunten Anlage verbracht. Die dazugehörenden Häuser passen sich einem wunderschön angelegten Garten an. Das geräumige Zimmer war mit einer gut ausgestatteten Küche und einem schönen Bad eingerichtet. Leckeres, verschiedenes selbst gemachtes, tiefgefrorenes Essen konnte man sehr günstig vor Ort einkaufen und mit Mikrowelle, Gasherd oder Grillbackofen im Zimmer aufkochen. Die Gegend um Piet Retieve soll bekannt für starke Gewitter sein. Das durften wir erleben, inklusivem mehrmaligen Stromausfall. Gestört hat es nicht zwingend, sondern hatte auch einen romantischen Touch. Bailey, der Besitzerhund hatte mehr Angst, hat bei uns Unterschlupf gesucht und sich bei uns verkrümelt. Eher gestört hat uns das Geschrei von einem oder mehreren Pfauen in der Früh. Wir wurden jedoch davor gewarnt, bzw. informiert und gehört einfach zum Dusk to Dawn Guesthouse.
Wenn man denkt da kommt nix mehr ... ist man fast da! Herrliche Farm mit viel Liebe zum Detail und so freundlich! Super Frühstück und fürs Abenessen gibt's was Vorort. Ungewohnt auf Deutsch empfangen zu werden! Schön wars!
We loved everything, the chalet, the decoration, the romantism, the location in the countryside, the suomptuous breakfast, the possibility to select a very tasty meal to take in the chalet at a reasonnable price, the many little attentions, the owner Gudrun very caring, the presence of the dogs, of the peacock, of the birds, and so much more. A thousand thanks !
Das Frühstück war der Hammer. In dem dazugehörigen Laden gibt es alles was für einen Stop over benötigt. Der kleine Spazierweg zum Teich ist nach einer langen Autofahrt super. Ein längerer Aufenthalt würde sich lohnen.
Eine Kleinigkeit beanstandet der Installateur: Der Duschkopf sollte ausgetauscht werden.
The beautiful room in a beautiful setting. Breakfast was delicious
What a place. So remote, so quiet, so comfortable. The views are stunning. And the breakfast, definitely top 3 ever.
It’s a beautiful working farm with 9 guesthouses or rooms. So much tranquility, nice voices of nature. Good for a rest in peace. And also for children to explore the farm.
Nothing.
Very nice rooms and breakfast. Nice home made frozen meals available to prepare for oneself.
We stayed in numerous places in South Africa on our three week trip and this place impressed us the most. Yes it is remote so requires a little effort to get to but that is part of its appeal. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. As soon as we arrived we instantly felt more relaxed than we had done anywhere else. Having sports channels to watch UK cricket was an added bonus! The microwave style meals provided in the freezer and the drinks, all done on an honesty basis, were a godsend after a 5 hour drive. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Add to this a farm teaming with bird life to keep my partner happy. We would definitely go back!
Leaving after only one night to go and stay in a tent!
Sensationelles Frühstück😀 fantastische Lage und Ausblick. Bezaubernde Gastgeberin mit Händchen für ein perfektes Arrangement.
Beautiful setting. Lovely facilities. Friendly staff. Good food

A really friendly and thoughtful owner. We were going to cook our own food, but they even had ready meals at reception for us, which were really tasty. We had a lovely walk around the farm in the morning before heading off on our way. The breakfast was lovely and made with local produce.
amazing host , amazing place, amazing exprience!

Our return vist after 9 years still the very high standards Very peaceful and relaxing.choice of ready made meals good. Breakfast choice fantastic and well presented
Just an overnight stop but a very relaxing property and a great breakfast
Beautiful location and most friendly host. What more can you ask for?
The children found it wonderful to go searching for eggs with the owner for breakfast. After the search, they got to feed the alpacas.
breakfast excellent

Beautiful location. Great stop over
Great and calm place!
The Dusk to Dawn Farm Guesthouse is “outstanding!” We were surprised to be given an upgrade, and the cottage was absolutely stunning. It had a downstairs with kitchen, living room and tv, bedroom and large bathroom. The upstairs had a living room, bedroom and bathroom. Both had breathtaking views of the farm. The cottages are nicely decorated and quite cozy and comfortable. We enjoyed all the farm animals (cows, ducks, chickens, pigs, donkeys, etc.), as well as the wildlife. There were swing sets, miniature golf, tree hut, sandbox and pool for one to enjoy. The breakfasts were scrumptious, including fresh eggs, homemade jams, honey, breads, and much more! There was also a country store to purchase farm made meals, and certainly were a welcoming site since we did not want to go to town to eat. The store had a variety of arts and crafts to purchase, and I bought quite a bit! Most of all, the hosts (Gudrun and Johann) deserve recognition for their genuine hospitality. They certainly have created a beautiful, most welcoming guesthouse with all the amenities, and such a serene atmosphere. The details such as quotes in the garden and in the dining room shall always be treasured! The staff deserve recognition for their friendliness, attentiveness, and for such beautiful crafts! We would not hesitate to come back here and we really wished we could have stayed much longer. We enjoyed the serenity, as well as the farm experience. Thumbs up to the Dusk to Dawn Farm Guesthouse!
Exceptional bed and breakfast just off the N2. Very comfortable and hospitable.
Great place off the bumpy N2 highway that is well worth the stop. Great hosts, rooms, kids play areas, breakfast, etc. Well worth the stop over.
Nothing
The farm experience made it awesome to enjoy some solitude while getting a taste of nature at its best.
Where to start! The setting is gorgeous, the food is fabulous (both the generous breakfasts and the frozen meals), the hosts and staff are so friendly and helpful, the accomodation is very comfortable... We stayed for 6 nights and wished for longer.
The ease and piecd
Very impressed with the Guesthouse Excellent Service received
Dusk to Dawn was without doubt the very best overnight stay we have ever enjoyed. It was the weekend of the huge snowfall in KZN, and we were traveling back from the Kruger Park, to KZN. When we arrived there, we were told that they had upgraded our accommodation to a unit that has a fireplace, given the FREEZING weather. The unit was a "little home", with everything we could possibly need - it just had a REALLY amazing feel about it. We bought dinner from their deli, which we absolutely loved .... Altogether, it was a PERFECT stop - IDEALLY located just off the N2 - in a safe, warm and nurturing environment.
Nothing... It couldn't have been more perfect :)
The accommodation was exceptional. We were upgraded to an amazing bungalow with stunning views overlooking the fields and hills. The rooms were so comfortable and spotlessly clean. The food selection of homemade meals was great. The breakfast was also exceptional. The hosts were so friendly and the animals were a great bonus. The crazy golf was a fun activity to top off a great stay.
Nothing
Amazing experience! Our hostess, Gudrun has an incredible farm and absolutely beautiful chalets!! I highly recommend this exceptional place for your next holiday or stop over to Kruger Park.
Great location, super friendly and accommodating hosts and great food
Clean, spacious, quiet and really comfortable. Perfect host.
Nothing. It was excellent
Beautiful located cattle farm out side Piet Retief. Perfect stay over between J Burg and Durban. You can relax with walks on the farm. And be friends with the farms many dogs.
Dusk to Dawn is a wonderful place to stop over. I wish we could've stayed a little longer to enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the farm. The unit was absolutely wonderful and incredibly spacious. The breakfast was such a treat, so much choice and delicious. We arrived late in the evening so we emailed ahead and ordered some of Gudrun's pre-prepared meals for dinner, which were warmed up and placed in our unit ready for our arrival - such care was taken to ensure that when we arrived after our long days drive we were well looked after.
Nothing
We had such a great stay at this amazing guest farm. It is clear that Gudrun & Johann, together with their team of friendly staff members, run Dusk to Dawn with a lot of love. We have nothing but the best to say about the warm welcome we received here and would definitely love to return one day. The rooms are beautifully decorated, the view over the farmland hills is stunning, and the breakfast was easily the most delicious one I had in South Africa! Another thing we enjoyed in particular was the variety of pre-cooked frozen meals available at the farm shop, which made for an excellent dinner option after long days of adventuring and exploring in the Piet Retief area. Vielen Dank für alles! :)
Breakfast was super and our national flag was on our lovely table.
Nithing
The comfort and the breakfast.
The weather
Fabulous breakfast. Beautiful far reaching views. Very welcoming helpful hosts. A wonderful selection of home made food to make dinner from.
Breakfast, hospitality
Friendly host, really nice house, options for last minute dinner and very helpfull owner by sending us forgotten clothes at check-out
A very pleasant and restful stay. Gudrun kindly upgraded us to a spacious, detached unit which was very nice, with long views over the farm. Very well equipped kitchen area with tea, etc provided. A good bathroom with lovely shower. It was really helpful to be able to choose home cooked dishes & wine from the Deli for dinner, which we re-heated in the unit. I also bought bread and jams to take away. The breakfast was superb. There are walks around the farm if you want. It was very peaceful and I could easily spend a couple of nights there.
Just a super place. A green oasis where you can completely relax and be completely pampered.
Perfect stop off point , clean , friendly and very beautiful. Every last need was catered for , highly recommend.
