Amazing. Our stay was truly wonderful! The staff were so friendly and went out of their way to make us feel at home; from the cleaning team to the lovely ladies in the laundry room who surprised us by ironing and delivering our clothes, to the garden services gentleman who kindly helped us with photos when we struggled with selfies. The food was absolutely delicious, and the views from both the pool and restaurant were simply fabulous. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

Comfortable, professional, scenic, and well-organised. The RFC team stayed at Rio Vista Lodge for one night during a work trip, and it was a comfortable and well-organised experience from start to finish. The staff were friendly and efficient, ensuring a smooth check-in process and accommodating our needs with professionalism. The rooms were clean, spacious, and well-equipped—perfect for a restful night after a long day of travel and meetings. The lodge's tranquil setting, with views overlooking the Crocodile River, added a peaceful touch to our stay and made for a great place to unwind. Although it was a short visit, we appreciated the attention to detail and the convenient location. We would gladly return to Rio Vista Lodge for future business or leisure trips in the area.

Quiet with a beautiful view. Very good location, neat and clean, but very expensive.

Rustig met mooi uitsig. Baie goeie ligging, netjies en skoon, maar baie duur.

Hard sleep, sore body. Rio Vista Lodge is very good. We enjoyed the pool and the service was good. Restaurant was also good. Couldn't move much the next day because of the rock hard bed. The bed was so bad that I wouldn't stay there again, even though everything else was very good.

Harde slaap, seer lyf. Rio Vista Lodge is baie goed. Ons het die swembad geniet en die diens was goed. Restaurant was ook goed. Kon die volgende dag nie baie beweeg nie a.g.v. die klip harde bed. Die bed was so sleg dat ek nie weer daar sal bly nie, al was alles verder baie goed gewees.

Not pleasant. Disappointed to find out we are on the first floor with no lift. I have dialysis equipment I travel with. No porters available. We had to ask the restaurant staff to help us carry.

Good day Jerrie, Thank you for choosing to stay with us. Our sincere apologies about the unpleasant experience that you had; unfortunately, we do not have porters at the lodge; we only ask the guys to help us with bags at the restaurant. If you had also requested a ground floor room at reception, they would have given it to you straight away. Customer satisfaction is a priority to us. Hope to see you soon again. Regards, Management

Comfortable. Yes, except the TV didn't work. Bedding was stained with red marks.

Gerieflik. Ja, behalwe dat die TV nie gewerk het nie. Beddegoed was gevlek met rooi merk.

Room was spacious and tidy. Nice big bathroom. Beautiful swimming pool. Very friendly staff who respond immediately to requests and questions. Restaurant on the deck with river view was very good and creates a great atmosphere with breakfast and dinner.

Kamer was ruim en netjies. Lekker groot badkamer. Pragtige swembad. Baie vriendelike personeel wat dadelik reageer op versoeke en vrae. Restaurant op die dek met rivier-uitsig was baie goed en skep 'n wonderlike atmosfeer met ontbyt en aandete.
