Rivertides Guest House  Verified Listing

Signage was excellent, very easy to find. On our arrival Mike was expecting us, helped cart our luggage to our accommodation, explaied every thing to us and made us feel at home. Our unit had the most amazing view and close to the sounds of the river and all its activity, it was very clean and comfortable as well, everything was available for our short stay, and the wifi was good enough for calling and sending messages to family. Everything, from our towels to the bedding had a wonderful smell about it. Our bed, after a long day was sooo comfortable, we slept well. Barbecue facilities were on point and very clean, so was the garden furniture and lazy loungers. We had such a wonderful experience the first day that we opted to stay an extra day, in all we slept there for 3 nights. We would gladly stay there again when we visit Velddrif in the future, we will definitely recommend Rivertides to everyone.

We enjoyed our stay at Rivertides tremendously. The host Mike was very warm and friendly guy. The room was neat and tidy, everything we needed. I can highly recommend a breakaway at Rivertides. We will definitely visit them again.

Mike is an amazing host, he made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. His knowledge of the area is impeccable and he gladly shared it with us. If you are looking for a place to get away from the city's hustle and bustle, this is definitely the place to visit. We enjoyed the river facing room, the awesome sunsets and fantastic bird life were amazing. The unit was well equipped and exceptionally clean, it made our stay extremely comfortable. Would definitely recommend Rivertides Guest House.

From the moment we arrived, Mike was at hand to make us feel welcome and showed us around. His place is spotlessly clean and convenient on the river. Highly recommended for a weekend stay or longer as the rooms have everything you need for self-catering.

Awesome place. Very friendly.

Lovely spot in this chilled little town. Mike the owner was a delight and went out of his way to make us feel looked after. Very social and accommodating.
The use of the canoes were a treat. Braai facilities were good and the view was stunning. Recommended!

Rivertides is a little hidden gem and I wish I could keep this secret to myself. Mike is the most at-tentative caring sincere host and selflessly helped us through car breakdowns and a few other hiccups.
Mike's caring nature will certainly see us returning back to this wonderful guest house.
Magnificent sunsets, beautiful accommodation and surrounded by peace and tranquility.
It is top class.

If I had to book another week at River tides I would lol. It's super peaceful, I felt welcomed when arriving, stay was peaceful.

We received a welcome by Mike. We immediately felt at home. Mike gave us an overview of the immediate environment (eg. places to eat & drink and to visit). Our old years "braai & kuier" with Mike and friends was something to remember for a long long time. We arrived as strangers and left as friends. Thank you Mike for a wonderful time. We highly recommend Rivertides Guest House and will certainly go back for another relaxing few days as soon as possible. Boela & Delene

It was a beautiful stay with everything you needed close by. Also in the house there were things which other self catering venues we have been to before do not have… something as simple as dishcloth and some sunlight to do dishes with. The host Mike also gives a homely feel and always eager to tell one which is the good sports in Laaiplek with regards to eats and drinks. Would definitely recommend it for the ones who want to get away from the hustle and bussle.
