• "I checked out the same afternoon I checked in"

  11 April 2021

  "I had an emergency at home and had to check out the same afternoon I checked in. Unfortunately there is no cancellation policy visible so I was forced to pay up for two nights. I was willing to forfeit one night as I already checked but alas"

• "Stopover on the way to Sabi"

  26 September 2017

  "We had a one night stop over on the way to Sabi and was really impressed with Acra - The very friendly staff was accommodating and provided excellent service. Wish we had more time to partake in some of the wide range of activities offered. The lodge has a really welcoming homely feel with comfortable surprisingly spacious rooms. Dinner options in the town was limited but we made the best of it and had a very nice meal at the lodge. Will be booking a longer stay in the near future."

  "What a beautiful venue with a stunning view, not to mention the friendly and outstanding hospitality of our host, Holger - who personally welcomed us. His staff is just amazing, friendly and so efficient. Then there is the superb cuisine and nice bar! All the extras like pool towels, proper coffee and milk, flat screen, DSTV, bathroom amenities, etc made it an unforgettable experience. Truly a place to relaxing away from home."

  26 May 2011

  "My sister and I, along with two friends have just returned to England having spent three weeks in South Africa. During our holiday we were lucky enough to spend four nights at Acra Retreat. The hospitality we received couldn't be faulted, and the breakfasts and dinners were superbly cooked by Norma and Holgar. The Zebra and Africa Rooms were very tastefully furnished and equipped to a high standard. During our stay we were thoroughly spoiled, and would highly recommend this accommodation which is located in a tranquil setting with magnificent mountain views."

  "We had a wonderful time at Acra. The only problem, we didn't have enough time there. Norma and Holga welcomed us and prepared the most delicious meals. I would recommend Acra to anyone. Take a book, your sunblock and just relax out on one of the wooden decks."

  "Acra Lodge was the highlight of my two week stay in South Africa. The views from my bedroom were truly spectacular, the breakfast (and all meals) every day were exceptional and the facilities were clean and very well maintained. However, it was the warm, personal and generous hospitality that made it truly memorable. Thank you - I cannot wait to come back"

  17 July 2010

  "We spent 5 days at Acra Retreat and enjoyed every minute of it! The location is quite spectacular with the most beautiful views of the Elandsriver gorge and cliffs in the background. The great hospitality just added to the experience! We enjoyed some great meals there and the host went out of her way to make the time special. We were advised where the attractions in the area are and were even escorted personally to one of the many beautiful viewpoints in the area! We can recommend Acra ... more"
