Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

The Dunes - I was a little bit nervous after reading previous reviews but we were recommended the place at a local Tack shop so we thought they would be in the know.
We found booking easy via phone and What's App. They were very friendly on arrival (including a very sleepy friendly dog) we were asked our experience levels. I am experienced but my partner is a total novice. We were given hats and a bit of background of the yard.
We were taken out by a lovely guy Milton, who was on foot, he stayed with my partner the whole time. The horses were very calm and happy to amble along the beach in walk. I had a wee canter and the horse was happy to go and happy to stop so I felt safe.
The horses are quite big, so the only thing I can think is people may have been nervous of the size of them and the racing saddles do feel a bit different from traditional saddles. They were an ex show jumper and ex racing horse.
But for adults of varying experience we found them friendly people, happy well cared for horses and a holiday highlight for us.

We told we are beginners. We were three.
The boys should have held the horses by the rope, which they didn't on the beach. By now I understand this is extremely dangerous.
All three horses went crazy and raced to the stables.
Two of us fell of the horses, one broke three!!ribs. This was the most scary and irresponsible experience we ever had.
Don't go here.

It's not a place I would recommend for people of colour, the owner and staff are racist.
It is not safe for kids or people of color, as me and my family was attacked by the owner and his dogs.
As a family we took a Sunday afternoon drive and wanted to explore the Noordhoek area and saw the Dunes comming down from Chapman's peak.
On arrival we where greated by an old white man with vicious dogs which are untrained and dangerous, they even attacked me and my family.
If I had not hold my position (if you know dogs you do not turn your back to a dog) my family would of been seriously hurt.
The old white man who identified himself as the owner then chased us off his establishment as if we have been trespassing.
I will pray that the lord will lift the veils from his eyes and place serenity in his heart.

The best stables I have ridden at! Amazing experience for all types of riders.
Highly, highly recommended and very lucky to have such a great opportunity provided by the yard owner.
These are class ex racers, well trained and very friendly staff/owner who makes you feel very welcome.
If you can ride well enough you can gallop on the sands, if you want to just walk or walk and trot you can.
The horses are very well cared for x racers, rode 3 times and all fantastic experiences. You can split off at the end if not everyone wants to gallop.
Some of the reviews I read I wasnt sure what to expect but the bad ones are most likely from novice riders who arent up to standards, you have to respect the fact that no riding yard will allow people to go off and gallop if they clearly aren't up to standards for safety purposes.
An experience I shall never forget and will definitely return on my next visit in the area.

I've ridden at The Dunes four times because it truly is a wonderful place. The instructors and managers are very nice. The horses are so well trained and friendly. This experience is definitely one in a million. Every time I rode Asterix and he's such a gentleman, I love him. It was really living in the moment and feeling the horses hoof beats galloping in my heart. The instructor and I trotted and centered along the waves and galloped on the way back. It's the best feeling ever and I had tears in my eyes, it was so amazing and fun! Asterix enjoyed it and me too. After that he was really huffing and puffing, the big boy.🐴😂 The people are amazing and treat their horses just the way they should be treated, and still living their retired life with a few galloping moments on the beach. They're super well looked after and have the best nature. While we were trotting I had loose reins and Asterix was keeping his pace, same with cantering. For galloping I just picked up a little more contact and off we went, I had a huge smile on my face - there's absolutely no feeling quite like it! I also felt so safe galloping so fast, the instructor made sure it was fine and Asterix looked after me. I actually galloped for the first time in 2018 and now I love it. Can't wait to go there again. Bringing dem treats, too! Would definitely recommend The Dunes for a beach ride, they deserve it. I went twice solo and then twice with my a bit less experienced friend, and she was galloping at the back, she also loved it.

We saved this for our last day in South Africa and it did not disappoint. My son (7) was a bit scared to sit on a horse on his own so they popped him up in front of me and our daughter (5) was very happy and relaxed being lead out through the dunes and along the beach. Our guides were very kind and thoughtful and I would like to say a big thank you to them both. The beauty of our ride along the edge of the lapping waves is firmly ingrained in my memory and I go to it whenever it starts to rain or gets too dark and cold now back in England. It was the highlight of my daughter's trip to SA and one of the many highlights of mine. Thank you.

Mia figlia sognava di cavalcare in riva al mare.
Avevamo trovato un altro maneggio, ma non avendo prenotato non c era posto e ci hanno indirizzato qui.
In realtà è una passeggiata tranquilla sulla spiaggia... ma poi ha potuto galoppare nel recinto
Danno tutta l attrezzatura, non hanno bancomat (non proprio economica, 60 euro cad)
Possono farlo anche persone alle prime armi.
Non abbiamo dovuto prenotare prima.
Merita sopratutto per il paesaggio.

Mooie manege, zeer vriendelijk ontvangst. Paarden zeer goed verzorgd. Noordhoek is een prachtig strand. Je gaat alleen stappen. Galloperen schijnt op noordhoek niet te mogen. Zeker een aanrader om te doen. Ook geschikt voor beginners. Begeleider sprak geen Engels maar was wel vriendelijk. We komen zeker weer terug.

Die Kommunikation im Vorhinein war etwas holprig, deswegen bin ich einfach vorbeigegangen und innerhalb von 5 Minuten saß ich auf "Something Else" (kein Witz :D) und los gings. Der Ausritt mit Guide Said war sehr nett, er hat gute Anweisungen /Tipps gegeben. Es ging direkt an den Strand (der Hof liegt direkt hinter den Dünen). Am Wasser selbst ist leider gemäßigtes Tempo angesagt, aber am Ende hatten wir einen tollen Galopp auf der heimischen Rennstrecke. Das Pferd war super zu reiten, wenn auch nicht ganz einfach, habe mich aber gut aufgehoben gefühlt.
Alles in allem empfehle ich es allen, die reiten können und mal auf einem Rennpferd sitzen wollen an einem tollen Strand. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es für die schwierige Buchung im Voraus und 40 Euro für eine (gute) Stunde mit einem Galopp finde ich für südafrikanische Verhältnisse nicht unbedingt günstig. Aber dafür war ich alleine mit dem Guide, das ist wohl auch üblich.

Everything is there to live a magical moment; attractive scenery and crystal clear waters, healthy horse in a clean stable right beside the beach.
We did back and forth by walk on the beach. The horses follow each other... they follow the guider. We asked our guider if we could do some trotting pace but the guider seems disinterested.
Unfortunately our guider looks like he did not want to do the tour, not even a smile, no talking at all, completely annoyed.... it makes our ride very boring and uncomfortable. Perhaps the view was breathtaking and my family was smiling and happy! If we had a different guider I would rated this place a 5stars.
We met the owner after our riding tour and he was very friendly/nice person....

Hi Can anyone tell me if a teenager of 14 years who has never ever ridden a horse in her life would be able to do this ride, as I would love to be able to do a canter along the beach but not sure if my daughter will manage. Would hate for her to fall off or hurt herself as I would never be able to forgive myself
Thanks Leanne

Hi Leanne,for safety sake, horse rides always have to go at the pace of the weakest rider. Your daughter will be fine but if you try and canter off her horse will follow and she may fall off! At the end of the ride you could ask to go down the gallop track with the guide while she waits for you at the stables. Hope that helps. Carrie
