Phefumula Country Retreat

• "Best break away weekend ever!"

  18 August 2019

  "The staff, the food, the privacy and accommodation was out of this world. If you ever want to get away for a weekend and have exclusive and professional catering at your chalet... This is the place to be. Welcome drinks, breakfast lunch and dinners are prepared in the dining area without you knowledge or without disturbance. Absolute oasis of relaxation and quiet... Would recommend it to any couple seeking a retreat, and will without a doubt visit again. Could not ask for more. Best weekend away ever!"

• "Our new favorite getaway"

  01 March 2016

  "From the moment we arrived we were greeted with a refreshing Pims cocktail. We had ordered a picnic basket in the morning before arriving. The basket contained some wonderful homemade goodies. The chalet was a wonderful size and you can tell they thought of everything. From lighting, to candles, to candles to get rid of bugs, robes, private jacuzzi, when I say they have thought of everything you will understand what I mean when you go there. Dinner was amazing and I'm happy they could accommodate all our needs considering I had booked the night before. We will definitely be back for longer next time."
