The view is incredible, the house is cozy and very well equipped. We had a great stay at Paradise on the Vaal!

Die uitsig is ongelooflik, die huis is 'cosy' en baie goed toegerus. Ons het baie lekker gebly by Paradise on the Vaal!

Pleasant stay. House is old but neat. Are there certain things that need attention. For example main bedroom shower. No complaints, enjoyed the stay. Beautiful view of the river.

Aangename verblyf. Huis is oud maar netjies. Is sekere goed wat aandag kort. Byvoorbeeld hoofslaapkamer stort. Geen klagtes, het verblyf geniet. Pragtige uitsig oor die rivier.

Peaceful environment, very quiet to get away from city life. We had a great stay. The only thing people have to do if they want to book there with older people is that it is not very 'old person' friendly. There is a path that older people can stop at until the house, but if you take a frail grandma/grandpa with you, the path will get a bit 'long' and the steps that are there are not 100% smooth for older people and small children. Now those are the steps from the driveway up to the level of the house. The steps to enter the house are regular stairs, but getting out was a mission. My father-in-law's knees and back are not what they should be and I had an ankle injury and had to walk the long way around every time to get to the house. But beyond that, the view of the river is breathtaking. The house makes you feel like you are walking into your grandma's house; it felt like a real home. We will definitely book there again, but unfortunately we will not be able to take grandma and grandpa with us again.

Rustige omgewing, baie stil om 'n wegbreek van stadslewe af te kry. Ons het lekker gebly. Al wat mense moet doen as hulle met ouer mense daar wil boek, is dat dit nie baie 'ou mens' vriendelik is nie. Daar is 'n paadjie wat ouer mensies kan stop tot by die huis, maar as jy 'n swakkerige ouma/oupa saamvat, gaan die paadjie effens 'lank' raak en die trappie wat daar is, is 100% glad gemaak vir ouer mense en klein kindertjies nie. Dis nou die trappe van die driveway af op na die vlak van die huis. Die trappe om in die huis in te gaan, is gewone trappe, maar om daar uit te kom was 'n missie. My skoonpa se knieë en rug is nie wat dit moet wees nie en ek het enkel besering gehad en moes elke keer die lang pad omloop om by die huis te kom. Maar verder is die uitsig asemrowend van die rivier. Die huis laat jou voel asof jy in jou ouma se huis instap; dit het 'n regte huis gevoel. Ons sal definitief weer daar boek, maar ons sal ongelukkig nie vir ouma en oupa weer kan saamvat nie.

The view is breathtakingly beautiful, but the house is neglected. No, we didn't have a good stay, because the accommodation is neglected and parts of the house are dirty. The showers are moldy and the carpets are full of stains. The finish at the toilet is sloppy, as well as at the moldings. The paint on the kitchen cabinets is peeling in places, and one door is only hanging on one hinge. The swimming pool is pretty clean, but the paint is peeling. I am disappointed in the website, because we always book through you and have always been very satisfied. This property does not meet our standards, and I don't think the website's either. I would like to send photos, please.

Uitsig is asemrowend mooi, maar die huis is verwaarloos. Nee, ons het nie lekker gebly nie, want die verblyf is verwaarloos en dele van die huis is vuil. Die storte is gemuf en die matte vol kolle. Die afwerking by die toilet is slordig, asook by die lyste. Die kombuiskaste se verf is op plekke af, en die een deur hang net aan een skarnier. Die swembad is mooi skoon, maar die verf dop af. Ek is teleurgesteld in die webtuiste, want ons bespreek altyd deur julle en was nog altyd baie tevrede. Hierdie eiendom voldoen nie aan ons standaarde nie, en ek dink ook nie aan die webtuiste s’n nie. Ek sal graag foto’s wil stuur, asb.

Beautiful location on the shore, neat house, clean pool, close to shops. Wonderful stay! Everything clean, neat and safe. Well equipped with everything you need. Beautiful garden right up to the banks of the Vaal River with several benches and garden furniture. The large, clean swimming pool is a plus. No noise from neighbors. This is our fourth or fifth visit and we will come back again and again.

Pragtige ligging aan oewer, netjiese huis, skoon swembad, naby winkels. Heerlik gebly! Alles skoon, netjies en veilig. Goed toegerus met alles wat nodig is. Pragtige tuin tot aan die oewer van die Vaalrivier met verskeie bankies en tuinmeubels. Die groot, skoon swembad is 'n pluspunt. Geen geraas van bure. Dis ons vierde of vyfde besoek en ons sal weer en weer terugkom.
