What our guests have to say

  • We had an amazing stay at the Mount Everest Cabin

    The views were absolutely breathtaking, with wide open landscapes that made it easy to relax and unwind. One of the highlights was the stunning hiking trail—well-marked, peaceful, and full of beautiful scenery at every turn. One small downside was the lack of shaded parking for the vehicle at the unit we occupied. However, the roads throughout the property were in very good condition, making it easy to get around....

  • Fantastic destination to relax.

    Such an awesome place to just take a break. Facilities are neat, customer service from Maci was fantastic and worth the travel. The wildlife and hiking trails are great. Indoor and outdoor braai areas are available for extra relaxation. Don't miss the sunrise early in the morning!

  • Will be back again - an Ever-rest experience.

    The ideal place for a break away from the chaos of city life. Quiet, peaceful and our cabin was thoughtfully located at the foot of a beautiful peak, close to our Creator in God's country.

  • Spectacular

    Our recent stay at Arendskop was nothing short of spectacular. Unbelievable views. The scenery. The game and birdlife, hikes, drives and peace and quiet was breathtaking. You can see forever. Every season of weather makes the place so special. we experienced thunderstorms rolling in. Rainbow. A full moon rising. Mist. Wind. Hot and clear. Just beautiful. And the dogs loved it so much. Peaceful and private. Very friendly and... Read this review

  • Mt Everest is simply the best

    Throughout each year I stay over in at least 15 accommodations, and Mt Everest is simply the best! From booking to check-out, everything exceeds expectation. Communication is clear and timeous. The chalet is well-equipped and ideally located for rock climbing, hiking, birding and relaxation. Peaceful, private and purpose-made for the nature-lover. I've visited multiple times, and each occasion, I leave knowing I will return. High recommended!

  • Arendskop

    Ek het nie woorde om die skoonheid, vrede en rustigheid te beskryf nie! Elke keer as ons Mount Everest besoek is dit soos 'n droom tuiskoms. Baie dankie Maci vir die GROOT bederf van die opgradering na Arendskop Chalet vir my man se verjaardag. Wat 'n belewenis! Ek dink elke mens moet die voorreg kry om ten minste 1 maal per jaar na julle plaas te gaan om hulle... Read this review

  • Een nag verblyf

    Alhoewel ons net een aand gebly het, het ons so lekker gebly. Die Mount Everest chalet was so mooi en het als gehad wat ons benodig het. Dit was pragtig en so gemaklik. Die in check en uit check was so gemaklik met die vriendelikste staf! Die kommunikasie en aanwysings op Whatsapp was baie gerieflik en opreg waardeer. Julle sal ons verseker weer sien. Baie dankie weereens!!

  • God's Country

    Lived up to its name with an Everest experience. That Eco-cabin was just the right thing - two nights to wind down in God's country, not even the strong winds can blow this wonderful memory away.Will be back for a longer stay for sure.👏🏻
