Asemrowende natuur, rustig, vriendelike mense.
ons was aangenaam verras oor die oulike plekkie. Ons het oornag oppad Pretoria toe, maar wil graag weer teruggaan om langer te bly. Die huisies is baie gemaklik en die natuur is asemrowend. Ons is baie bly dat ons die plekkie ontdek het. Die wild het langs ons huisie geslaap en die perd wat rondloop was so sag met my special needs dogter. Dit is asof hy geweet het... Read this review

What an unique experience!
Breathtaking scenery with those magnificent mountains around. Beautiful farm with a big variety of game - at times it felt as if one is in a game reserve. Those strutting springbuck always a pleasure to watch. In the evenings you could hear the silence next to the fire. And during the days some beautiful bird songs. The pair of shrike nesting near Tarentaal entertained one daily (or was it... Read this review

Rus en vrede.
Pragtige ligging met die mooiste uitsigte. Het 5 arende gesien. Ons het 'n paar goed vergeet en Maci was wonderlik en super behulpsaam!

Asemrowend, ontspanne, wild, beste ligging.
As ek by ligging 'n 10 ster kon gegee het, was dit seker nog te min! Asemrowend mooi, jy kyk en kyk, totdat jy besef jy moet jou mond toemaak. Arendskop is 'n juweel, daar doer op die berg. Ons het gestap, vis gevang en baie lekker ontspan. Die wild is ook pragtig! Baie dankie vir die heerlike kuier.

Sielsverrykend is al wat ek kan sê as opsomming van hierdie verblyf!
Absoluut! Heerlik gebly. Dit was nie die 1ste keer wat ons Mount Everest besoek het nie, maar wel die 1ste keer wat ons in 'n chalet gebly het. Die vorige kere was in die karavaanpark saam met ons hele gesin. Die keer was baie spesiaal om in een van die hout chalets te kon tuisgaan. Weereens 'n wonderlike belewenis. Die berg, die natuurskoon, die vrede wat mens daar beleef,... Read this review

An absolute must for nature lovers.
Amazing weekend break away. Witkruisarend log cabin had all the necessary comforts. Reception was welcoming and very accommodating. The views are absolutely incredible !! Loads of wildlife, including blesbuck, bluewildebees, springbuck, and fellow deer. Horses and ostrich roam freely amongst the abundance of wildflowes and mushrooms. An absolute must for nature lovers.

Wat 'n onvergetlike ervaring!
Hierdie was seker die mees "memorable" wegbreke wat ek en en my vrou nog ooit gehad het. Die natuurskoon, die uitsigte, die stilte, alles was onverbeterlik. Ons het by Mount Everest Guest Farm behoorlik kans gekry om af te skakel en net te kon rus en die tydjie daar geniet. Die gasvrou Maci en haar span het hulle goed van hulle taak gekwyt. Hier het ons die meeste tuis... Read this review

Climbing was excellent
Absolutely beautiful views. Mount Everest Chalet lovely, secluded for peace and quiet. Well fitted out well with every convenience. Booking, arrival and departure was very easy. Will definitely be back for another relaxing weekend of down time, climbing, walking and even cycling.

Scenic serenity
Cosy eco log cabin with stunning views of the distant and nearby mountains. Cabin has large windows, so even from inside the view is awesome. Very comfortable beds, with crisp white linen. Well appointed braai area. The game farm lends itself to hiking and mountain climbing, and on game drives a lot of animals are seen. Sometimes these roam around the cabin. The staff is very helpful.

Rest the right way
Mount Everest has provided me and my family with the opportunity to rest for REAL! From the breathtaking scenery to the amazing service, we had the opportunity to get away from the city and just relax. The cabins were very neat and when we needed any assistance (even at 21:00 at night) they are always ready to help. There is also no lack of activities if you are into... Read this review

Ideal for climbers and families
Incredible stay camping here. Great facilities for shower and cooking, we car camped but the lodges looked luxurious and some were tucked away and very private. Really nice staff and magical so have zebra and wildebeest and ostrich’s walking around camp as you braai! We loved the climbing, plenty of higher grade routes but we stuck to SA grade 14-16, luxury to walk back to camp within 15minutes and... Read this review
