We hosted our wedding at The Rosendal Country Retreat and it was absolutely PERFECT!

 

Marius and Bonny took great care of us and were very accommodating. The rooms are modern and large and our guests loved it, the food was great, the chapel is beautiful and both their venues worked great.

If you are planning a wedding I would absolutely recommend Rosendal Country Retreat, they are a well oiled machine.

OurThe Rosendal Country Retreat exceeded all our expectations. The venue provided the perfect backdrop for the magical day we had envisioned. From the charming town of Rosendal to the exceptional staff, every aspect contributed to making our wedding unforgettable.


One of the highlights was the convenient on-venue accommodation for our guests. It added a lovely touch to have everyone close by, creating a warm and communal atmosphere throughout the celebration. The Friday night braai was a delightful start to the festivities, and the food left a lasting impression on our guests. The wedding food itself and the Sunday breakfast were nothing short of amazing, receiving rave reviews from all who attended.


What truly sets The Rosendal Country Retreat apart is the organisation and dedication of the staff. Their commitment to going above and beyond made the entire planning process and the day itself far less stressful. Their attention to detail and willingness to accommodate our needs truly made a difference. We are grateful to the staff for their dedication and professionalism, making our wedding day an unforgettable and joyous occasion.

We had the most incredible experience hosting our wedding at The Rosendal Country Retreat. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, every single person we encountered was warm, kind, and genuinely happy to help — it made all the difference!


The venue, gardens, and accommodation were absolutely beautiful, and the whole weekend felt so personal and effortless thanks to the amazing team. The pre-wedding Braai night was such a highlight — relaxed, inviting, and the perfect way to welcome our guests.


A huge thank you to Marius, Thabiso, Bonni, and everyone behind the scenes for making our wedding so seamless and special. You went above and beyond in every way, and we are so thankful for each of you! 


Rosendal will forever hold a special place in our hearts — it’s so much more than just a venue, it’s a place we will treasure for the rest of our lives. We can’t wait to return again and again!

We hosted our wedding at Rosendal Country Retreat. It was the perfect place for a wedding weekend. We held wedding festivities from Friday evening with a pre-wedding braai until Sunday morning breakfast. It was perfect. The rooms have fireplaces, aircons and electric blankets to keep warm, and the scenery just makes everything perfect. Thanks to the friendly staff they helped with everything - the planned and unplanned.

 

Nothing was ever too much to ask for. The food was amazing! We would definitely recommend the venue for both winter and summer weekend celebrations and weddings.

Maria M Williams - 26/09/2024

 

'Retreat' is an appropriate name for this true gem of a place!

Beautiful attention to detail.

The communal areas were perfect for our family to connect, for gathering and lingering. The layout is excellent with rooms in separate buildings for personal space and privacy.

Rosendal Country Retreat is also the perfect base from which to explore the wonderful Eastern Free State.

Travelling: Roadworks on the R70 are progressing apace - the light at the end of a tunnel is a spotlight already. We took the gravel road from Paul Roux to Rosendal for the last stretch - a very easy and beautiful drive.

 

Rooms: 5/5. Service: 5/5. Location: 5/5.

 

Rooms: Beautifully appointed, luxurious, functional rooms. Calm and warm at the same time.

 

Nearby activities: Many outdoor activities to make the most of the fresh air and beautiful Eastern Free State. We enjoyed the Saturday market!

 

Safety: Very safe. This is another "breath of fresh air."

 

Walkability: Easy and safe.

 

Food and drinks: Lovely facilities in the communal areas. The local joints (Krummel and Yolla's this time) ticked the boxes.

 

Hotel highlights: Luxury, great view, romantic, quiet, child-friendly, great value.
