Longneck Manor Fredericksburg Reviews from The Last Year
Making new animal friends
This was such a cool experience. We didn’t realize it was a short walking tour but with the most up close and personal experiences with the rhinos and giraffes. Worth every cent for the tour. It would be amazing for families with kids.
A wild weekend activity for the whole family!
Absolutely a must to visit if you love animal encounters and conservation. What a gorgeous ranch just a few minutes outside of Fredericksburg, TX! The animal handlers are so informative and fun. The animals are magnificent! I took my grown daughter and two young grandchildren and we all loved our visit!
A perfect experience
We went to Longneck specifically for the giraffes but also fell in love with the rhinos. It was an amazing experience and our two tour guides were funny and extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much about these amazing animals. We are going back next year because two of the females are pregnant and will give birth at the end of 2024.
Petting a rhino is truly an incredible experience!
Good: * location; easy to find * parking * instructions for getting to the tour Great: * friendly & knowledgeable staff * tour was informative * meeting & feeding the giraffes & Justin the rhino was amazing! Not so great: * the $95 tour price per person. However, it was worth it!
Excellent Family Experience: Fun and informative
We had such an incredible experience! Took the grandkids over Spring Break. They thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot. Monica was very knowledgeable and informative. Will be going again in the future as they intend to add several more animals in the coming year.
One of the best vacations I've ever had.
We stayed two nights in the Simba villa. To wake up and have rhinos and giraffes outside your room is really incredible. To see these animals freely grazing on so many acres, to see them up close, and be able to feed and pet them is as close to safari as it gets. it's nothing like a zoo; they're just not comparable experiences. Everyone is very friendly and knowledgable, the experience is intimate as there are only 5 villas, the villas are very big and first class, and this is a 5013c so your money is going to a great cause (conservation and species reproduction). You're only 10 minutes from Main St Fredricksburg which is full of restaurants. We're lucky to have this place in Texas.

Giraffe Time
What a fabulous experience. My husband and I were in town for our son's Airforce graduation. We took the day after graduation to visit this heaven on earth. The experience was wonderful, educational and so much fun. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. We would recommend this day trip to everyone.
A beautiful morning spent with giraffes and rhinos!
While we were not overnight guests, we visited this beautiful and clean property on a lovely Saturday for the 10:09 am 90-minute tourand were immediately directed to a ‘viewing’ deck where 3 of the four giraffes on-property gathered for their vegetable treats from us! The two young women who were our guides were extremely knowledgeable about not only the habitat but especially the animals and they allowed our tour group ample time to feed and commune with the giraffes and the rhinos! While the giraffes do not like to be touched, the rhinos loved being stroked! We finished the tour with a visit to the small but well-curated gift shop! It was a great experience!
Amazing experience! We didn't stay here but we came for a
Amazing experience! We didn't stay here but we came for a visit. It was great. Totally worth the drive from Austin. We got to meet and pet Justin, the Rhino. Then we got to feed 3 giraffes. These animals are so beautiful! If you go later in 2024, you will also get to meet a sloth. The guides were great about taking pictures, they will get all the angles! The facility is 2 years old and looks so comfy and cozy. We had a group of about 12 and the ages ranged from 80 to 4. Everyone had plenty of time to interact and take pictures. We learned a lot about the animals, where they came from and how this facility works with others to help with conservation.
Thank you for a wonderful experience
What an amazing morning. We had a wonderful up close personal experience with Fred the rhino and then 4 giraffes. Noel and Shelby were knowledgeable and provided for our safety and great experience feeding these amazing animals. A highlight fr9m our trip
My husband visited Longneck Manor when we were in the area
My husband visited Longneck Manor when we were in the area a few weeks and had a great experience. What is it? Longneck Manor is a conservation agency that houses giraffes and rhinos just outside Fredericksburg. They are a luxury hotel/B&B (if you stay, you can wake up and see giraffes from your cabin). But they also offer conservation tours where their staff will teach you about the animals they care for. (I learned a lot about both rhinos are giraffes from our Noel and Chloe, the staff for our tour!) You can safely touch a rhino (Barney was the rhino for our tour) and feed the giraffes (from a short distance away on a platform, but directly onto their tongues). This was a really amazing experience, and it seemed as if the staff really cared about the safety and comfort of the animals as well as of their guests. I hope that people who visit Longneck Manor take the experience at Longneck Manor to learn about the dangers that face these animals in the wild and become inspired to help in a way possible for them. That's what the experience did for me. This is a really unique experience to have in Central Texas! And the money you spend at Longneck Manor goes to support these animals and conversation efforts worldwide. If you or anyone you know is interested in animals and might be inspired to help or support wildlife conservation by seeing a rhino or giraffe up close, I recommend Longneck Manor!
An amazing new type of experience.
A unique and amazing experience. Had close encounters and fed their four giraffes, pet and fed 4,000 pound rhinos, fed and learned about Bruno their sloth. Staff was amazing and very informative. Met the owner and had a personal tour with a staff member who has years of experience in caring for and working with zoo animals. She new every detail about the animals, the animal's care and the facility. The accommodations are amazing. New, clean and with a true African safari design and feel. Only a 10 minute drive to downtown Fredericksburg. Staff was helpful in giving local restaraunt recommendations and they were super friendly. If you want to try something different, this is the place!!!
Simply Sensational!!
We just returned from an incredible two night stay at Longneck Manor and we’re still in awe at the experience. From top to bottom LNM is a top of the line experience and combined with their sincere and dedicated conservation mission a world class attraction - here in the heart of a Texas. As residents we experienced a curated wonderful interactive experience with the 4 rhinos, three rhinos and Bruno the sloth. Everything about the experience puts the animals welfare and health first and the staff truly love and appreciate their “job”. Our guide was Shelby and she was a wealth of knowledge and no question was so tiresome. We learned to much (and have already been on a safari in the Serengeti). The animals are very friendly and enjoy their human interaction without anything being “forced”. The whole setup is a labor of love for Rick Barongi, a long time animal conservationist and zoologist. He has done wonderful things here. New aspects are getting added over the next couple of years so we can’t wait to return. The 4 villas are sensational and the decor is very African and beautifully done. The beds are comfy and luxurious and you have a full equipped kitchenette with a big fridge for keeping food and drinks. The rooms also have an outdoor patio where you can sit, chill out with a wine and just watch the animals amble about their area which includes and African style water hole gathering area. Monica runs the day to day operation and was awesome to deal with and we felt like friends when we left - everyone though is also doing great work either up front or behind the scenes.
Once in a life time experience! For the old and young of our family! Come!
Unbelievable experience! Worth the the ride, which is also gorgeous! The place is beautiful, and focused on education and conservation. We couldn’t stay overnight, but the tour is great too! Staff awesome!
Wonderful Expence with animals.
The state care a lot for the animals and they are were taken care of. Large area for them to walk not be in small cage like zoos
An experience you won't want to miss!
This was an amazing experience! Everyone was so kind and inviting. We learned so much about Rhinos and Giraffes. The work done here is incredible and the love the staff has for the animals is as clear as day. We came for my mother's birthday and they truly made her dreams come true. I recommend this to anyone and everyone. Please make the time to visit you won't regret it. Also please contribute to their cause, they really are making a difference and the donations really do go to the animals.
Africa in Texas
What an experience! We loved Longneck Manor! This is a very special place in the Texas Hill Country that offers safari like accommodations and unique encounters with their giraffes and rhinos. There's also a sloth! My husband and I have lived and traveled in Africa since 1995 and this is a great opportunity to experience Africa in our own backyard in Texas. We stayed in one of the 2 bedroom villas and what a gorgeous accommodation! Very well appointed and there are rhinos and giraffe in your backyard! Every detail is well thought out. The most special part of Longneck Manor is the giving back to conservation to help save these magnificent animals. Rick the owner and visionary to this project is so nice and very engaging. He's hands on and was there throughout our visit. In the morning we saw him with his beautiful labs Drifter and Boone getting to work to get things going on the property. As for the others that work at Longneck Manor, every individual was so friendly and very informative. Each member of the staff is a wealth of information and eager to answer any questions we had. Leah, Samantha, Reed, Shelby and Val are all exceptional. I didn't get to meet Heather, as she was offsite for our visit, but we spoke many times over the phone and she was extremely helpful. We were treated so well and felt at home. We took our brother and sister in law for the weekend and they were thrilled! They now have a taste of Africa and a greater love for these beautiful animals. No matter where you live a visit to Longneck Manor is a must! A tour or an overnight adventure will not disappoint. The location is perfect and a short drive to the heart of Fredericksburg for enjoying shopping and dining along with visits to the many wineries, breweries and distilleries in the area. One thing for sure is we will be back! Highly recommend! Thank you Rick and the entire staff for making our weekend so special!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome
to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
