Had an excellent relaxing stay. Friendly staff, pleasant welcome. Catered for all our needs from beginning to end. Warm and cozy during the winter nights. Thank you for a lovely stay once again. Hope to see you all soon.

Dear Wonderful Team at Matt’s Rest I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your exceptional hospitality during our stay on 15 April 2024. Despite our late arrival due to a diverted flight, your warm welcome and smooth check-in eased our travel fatigue. The delicious dinner you arranged for us on short notice was delightful, showing your genuine care for guests. Your kindness and attention to detail made our stay memorable, and we're truly grateful for your outstanding service. Looking forward to our next visit! Warm regards, Bee Oelofsen Marketing & Events Coordinator

Good location with easy access to all amenities, comfortable and reasonably priced, and friendly staff... but attention needs to be given to some basic maintenance in the rooms and bathrooms. Overall good value for money.

Super accommodation and very flexible. We booked a few apartments, and they were all equally good. We also used the central braai facilities at the pool. Pity we couldn't watch the rugby though, not all live sport DSTV channels Friendly staff, clean rooms, great breakfast. Thanks!

The rooms are not sound proof. You can here the neighbour using bathroom facilities as if they are in your room. We booked out earlier because guest entertained outside female visitors until 5h30 am. Will never return or recommend. The communal braai facilities are too close to the rooms. Location is nice if you need to be close to the Midlands action arena.

I will definitely recommend Matts Rest, Very friendly staff, water was hot (some places its really not),very comfy beds and awesome breakfast. we stayed in the Rockpool cottage and only negative thing I can say is that The bathrooms need a bit of updating but still had everything required, other than that no complaints at all and that's the only reason why I have put a 4 star rating.
