The Retreat At Groenfontein is an old Victorian farmhouse located in the lovely Groenfontein Valley conservancy, bordering the 129,000-hectare Swartberg World Heritage Site. It is situated 20 kilometers northeast of Calitzdorp on a scenic, winding gravel road, 59 kilometers northwest of Oudtshoorn, and 48 kilometers southwest of the Cango Caves on scenic winding gravel roads, just off the magical Route 62.

The Retreat At Groenfontein has been graded 3 and 4 stars by the TGCSA. It features four garden rooms in two annexes, all with fireplaces, king-size beds (which can be made up as twins), and magnificent views of the mountains. Three of the larger rooms have a Victorian bath and shower, while the smaller room has a shower. Additionally, there are two separate bedrooms with two single beds each.

In the main house, there are four comfortable en-suite bedrooms leading onto a patio, and the lounge and dining room, each with a fireplace, lead onto the verandah overlooking the sweeping gardens and majestic Swartberg. The hosts, Grant and Marie, offer true Klein Karoo hospitality, welcoming guests with the smell of fresh coffee after morning walks and serving hearty breakfasts on the terrace. Dinner, cooked with Marie's continental flair, is also served on most summer evenings. Vegetarian and special dietary requirements are catered for. The Retreat has a full liquor license and carries a selection of the fine wines of the region.

Guests can enjoy lazy afternoon strolls in the peaceful lanes of the Groenfontein Valley, take a swim in the new rock-pool trail, or engage in energetic walks into the foothills of the Swartberg in the sparkling mountain air. Alternatively, they can simply relax at the pool and let the peace and silence soak into their souls. Swimming in the river or dam is also an option. Children and pets are welcome at The Retreat At Groenfontein.

The Retreat At Groenfontein is a proud holder of the AA Accommodation Award for the years 2003, 2004, 2005, and the Hall of Fame from 2006 to 2010. One of the garden suites, located in a converted milking shed, contains a room with a king-size bed or twin beds, a lounge area with a fireplace, and a second room with two single beds. The bathroom in this suite features a Victorian bath and a shower, and the suite has a verandah.
