If you get tired of life in the city. What a fantastic secret, I want to be very selfish and not share it, because I want to go back, swim in the river, and approach the walking paths. There is so much to do, we just lay outside one night and looked at the stars, it was literally heavenly. Here you switch off whether you want to or not, there is no cell reception, no internet, just nature's music. River View Cottages is the reality of Lucas Maree's song: “When I get tired of life in the city, the walking path beckons me; in the field I pick a walking stick from the nearest thorn bush, and sing my walking song, and sing my walking song”. “Or I listen to my own footsteps on the way over mountain and valley. Then I'm the lonely walker again to the lovely country who-knows-where, a wanderer for life, a wanderer for life”. "And the blue ceiling that stretches over the fields will cover my slumber at night. And the star lord will come and go across the moonlit celestial path and beckon kindly from afar, and beckon kindly from afar."

As jy moeg word vir die lewe in die stad. Wat 'n fantastiese geheim, ek wil baie selfsugtig wees en nie die deel nie, want ek wil teruggaan, in die rivier swem, en die wandelpaaie benader. Daar is so baie te doen, ons het een nag net buite gele en sterre kyk, dit was letterlik hemels. Hier skakel jy af of jy nou wil of nie, daar is geen sel opvangs, geen internet, net natuur se musiek. River View Cottages is die werklikheid van Lucas Maree se liedjie: “As ek moeg word vir die lewe in die stad, lok my die wandelpad; in die veld pluk ek 'n wandelstaf van die naaste doringboompie af, en sing my wandellied, en sing my wandellied”. “Of ek luister na my eie voeteval op pad oor berg en dal. Dan's ek weer die eensaam wandelaar na die lekker landstreek wie-weet-waar, 'n swerwer lewenslank, 'n swerwer lewenslank”. “En die blou plafon wat oor die velde strek sal saans my sluimer dek. En die sterreheer sal kom en gaan oor die maanverligte hemelbaan en vriendelik wink van ver, en vriendelik wink van ver.”

Wonderful stay, will definitely go back. It was absolutely fantastic as usual. Bronwyn is truly amazing. My husband accidentally fell into the river, and she even offered to wash and tumble dry his wet muddy clothes. This is our 3rd time back. Already planning our next visit. Thanks for a wonderful few days.

Wonderlike verblyf, sal definitief teruggaan. Dis was soos gewoonlik absoluut fantasties. Bronwyn is regtig amazing. My man het per ongeluk in die rivier geval, en sy het selfs aangebied om sy nat modderklere te was en te tuimeldroog. Dis nou die 3de keer wat ons teruggaan. Beplan al klaar ons volgende besoek. Dankie vir 'n wonderlike paar dae.
