Wir haben in einer afrikanischen Rundhütte geschlafen, mitten in der Natur, umgeben von einer atemberaubenden Landschaft und mit einem wahnsinnigen Ausblick. Die gesamte Unterkunft ist aus Naturmaterialien gebaut und beeindruckend harmonisch um einen Felsen integriert. Ein echtes Meisterwerk im Einklang mit der Natur. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt, im Gegenteil: Die Schönheit dieses Ortes ist überwältigend und jeder Moment war etwas ganz Besonderes. Einfach unvergesslich. Das abendliche 3-Gänge-Menü mit selbstgebackenem Brot und vorzüglichem Wein hat das Erlebnis perfekt abgerundet und alles noch einmal getoppt. Ein Ort, der lange im Herzen bleibt.Posted onUwe Sonnemann16 January 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir waren eine ganze Woche dort, was wohl ungewöhnlich ist, aber warum? Tolle Berghütte, super nettes Personal, exzellentes Essen, angenehmes Klima, sauberer Pool und ein freundlicher Besitzer. Wir fanden es toll. Erst waren wir wegen einer fehlenden Klimaanlage etwas enttäuscht, aber die war gar nicht notwendig. Auch bei warmen Wetter im Januar wird es abends angenehm kühl. Es gibt Oryxantilopen, zauberhafte Streifen Grasmäuse, morgendliche Klippschliefer und den schönsten Sternenhimmel der WeltPosted onJim M12 November 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Naries is a wonderful boutique guest house. Our room was excellent, the bathroom was enormous and the whole place was very comfortable. The hilltop Lapa for sunset drinks before dinner was a wonderful addition to the experience. The food was great, high quality and they cater well to dislikes or allergies. Most of all the staff and are warm welcoming and provide great service. We highly recommend Naries to anyone travelling in this area of South Africa.Posted onThea Janne d’Othee13 August 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We stayed in the mountain hut which was so unique and had an amazing view. Even though we came during winter, it was very well heated. There are plenty of hikes to do with wildlife walking around. The food was delicious and we were served an aperitif with a beautiful sunset.Posted onDaryll Muller27 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stunning views and beautiful cottages. We went for a brief family weekend retreat. Definitely a good choice if you want to get away from it all. Just remember to reserve meals when making your booking. And this place caters for a lot of tourists, so it is a bit on the pricey side. Activities available on the facilities include hiking, biking and swimming. No WiFi at the cottages, only at the main villa.Posted onJ B17 February 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our 5th visit to Naries and we always stay in one of the Mountain Suites. The best is #3 but we have never been succesful in snagging it until these last visits. We booked in for the Xmas Day 2024 and returned again on New Years Eve. Of the Mountain Lodges, Unit 3 is the largest suite of the three, situated most forward and arguably the most private. It's only drawback perhaps is that access from your vehicle to the front door involves some up and down on an irregular surface, which is a bit tricky with any heavy or large items. The hotel retaurant was not crowded and the staff adorably helpful and friendly. Xmas crackers were found on the dining table for the Xmas Day dinner and on New Years Eve, we were offered a complimentary glass of spakling wine. On the Xmas Day visit the heat prevented us enjoying the property but on New Years Eve it was perfect. The quality and presentation of the meals, as well as the level of service, was much appreciated after coming from very expensive stay at a 'luxury' 'desert lodge' at Tutwa. Naries reminded us what luxury and value for money looks like. There are a number of very large boulders near the lodges and you can sit and watch a large family of Dassies sunning themselves on the rocks in the late afternoon and chilly mornings. I even caught one licking the leaves of the plants outside the bathroom window. Just be aware that, like much of the N.Cape, data coverage is poor and there is no WiFi at the Mountain Suites. Highly recommended.
