What Guests Say After Their Stay

"I arrived exhausted and spiritually dry. Three days at Hermit House in prayer and fasting completely changed that. I left hearing from God clearly for the first time in months. I cannot recommend this place enough."

Thabo Nkosi
Pastor, Johannesburg

"The silence alone is worth the drive. There are no distractions, no noise, just a beautifully kept House and the presence of God. I have been to many retreats but nothing compares to the simplicity and holiness of this place."

Intercessor, Cape Town

"I had never done a personal prayer retreat before. Hermit House made it so easy and peaceful. The house was clean, the atmosphere was holy, and I felt safe the entire time. I will be back every year."
