Absolutely everything, from the warm personal welcome, to the well appointed facilities & rooms. The rooms are massive & contains everything one could need. Stunning stunning stunning. Absolutely clean & well maintained. A little oasis tucked away in a beautiful nature reserve. Its a must if you want to destress & unwind - mind, body & soul.

“Wonderful, luxurious, comfortable stay with very kind staff”
Our stay at Dune Ridge Country House was the best of our entire holiday in South-Africa. We loved the spacious room, very comfortable bed, the bathroom with sophisticated bathtub. The breakfast was wonderful and plentiful, the staff was very accommodating with a vegan diet, the property is lovely and invites for a nice walk. It felt like every detail had been thought of. We would highly recommend others to stay here as well.
