River Cottages  Verified Listing

I have enjoyed myself the environment was good to relax.

Good

River Cottage is the best place to stay for a weekend or holiday. Hostess very kind and friendly. Best of all its pet friendly. Will recommend the place to every one.

Pleasant and safe location with a good view.

Ons het heerlik gekuier en huis is so ruim. Pragtig soos teen die rivier. Ons sal beslis weer kom. Diens was ook van hoogstaande gehalte!!!!!

Peace and quiet. Lovely walks. Just what was needed the weekend. The accommodation is neat and clean. All the basics are there. I would recommend the accommodation. Its a lovely place to use as a base camp for river rafting or going into town and shopping or just to stay there and relax.

Marlouise is friendly and made sure that we had all we needed and that there were no problems with the accommodation.

Will definitely be going there again.

I would recommend River Cottages for either intimate or a family/group gathering. The place is safe, neat and most accommodating that you will ever experience. I will certainly return very soon. Although the weather changed, the men still enjoyed themselves with fishing. A record size muddy of 2,74kg was caught, and released again.

We had a lovely and relaxing time, very friendly host. The cottages were clean and well supplied but we think that they need a bit of renovating and repair the leaking taps. But otherwise, I recommend it for a family holiday and we definitely return for our next holiday.

We were welcomed at River Cottages in a friendly manner and enjoyed our stay at the establishment.

We had the most amazing time at River Cottages. My family and I loved every minute of our stay there, so much so that we were gutted to have to return home. We stayed in River Cottage 1 which was perfect for our needs and wants. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed for our weekend. The view from the patio was amazing and perfectly situated to watch the kids play in the pool and to see what was going on at the river. The cottage is roughly 40m from the pool and about 60m from the river's edge. What more could one ask for?
There aren't any play ground facilities for the kids, but this didn't stop our children from having a blast. Perhaps that could be a future addition which would be a big win.
Then I need to thank Marianca for making the entire reservation process so simple and pain free. I asked a multitude of questions and favours and there was nothing that she wasn't prepared to accommodate me with (within reason of course).
Our host, Marlouise, was amazing too. She made us feel so welcome on arrival and again attended to all of our needs. There was nothing too big nor small that she wasn't prepared to help us with. She made us feel like we were part of an extended family and encouraged us to let our hair down and relax.
I would highly recommend River Cottages to anyone whom is seeking a peaceful and relaxing weekend away.
For the fishermen/fisherwomen - we didn't catch any record breaking fish, but we had a very successful fishing experience. Our first day was very quiet and we wondered if there were any fish in the river. However, after some advice from the local fishing store in Parys and some recommended bait, we were kept busy all day and night. Don't try anything fancy - worms, banana and pineapple mielies and some "Superman" dip, worked a charm. We didn't have any luck with specimen rigs and boilies, but it is not to say that it won't work.

On the whole, we would return without a shadow of a doubt - in fact, we are planning our next trip already.
