Wonderful, lovely and relaxing. We had a lovely stay. Only one night, but it is truly a beautiful place. Beautifully furnished and the tranquility of the area was amazing. We will definitely visit again. Just one comment which must only be communicated to the owner: the stairs to the bedroom and bathroom are steep, and it would be good to cover the gaps between each step as this may be dangerous if your foot slips or if you have children.

Clean, neat, beautiful, stylish home. Highly recommend Riverside Country House! Wow, we had an amazing stay! Lynette was a wonderful host. A gorgeous home in a beautiful setting! Very neat and clean and an absolute pleasure to spend time in this tranquil setting and lovely garden with a sparkling pool. The sound of the flowing river is so relaxing. We brought along our small dog and the property was fully secured, which gave us complete peace of mind.

Great accommodation. Neat and beautiful inside and wonderful location by the river. Very grateful that our dogs were also welcome.

Puik akkommodasie. Netjies en pragtig binne en wonderlike ligging langs die rivier. Baie dankbaar dat ons honde ook welkom was.

Sorry we stayed there for such a short time. The town and accommodation are beautiful. This is hands down the most beautiful house we have ever stayed in. The light floods in. Nicely furnished, but not too 'fancy' to use. The most beautiful location on a stream. Walking distance to the most popular eateries.

Spyt ons het so kort daar gebly. Dorp en akkommodasie pragtig. Dit is loshande die mooiste huis waar ons nog ooit gebly het. Die lig stroom in. Keurig gemeubileer, maar nie te 'fancy' om te gebruik nie. Die mooiste ligging aan 'n stroom. Stapafstand na gewildste eetplekke.

It was an absolute pleasure hosting Tertia and her husband. They were incredibly pleasant, respectful of the property in perfect condition. It was clear they truly appreciated the house and space, which made hosting them all the more enjoyable. I would gladly welcome them back and highly recommend them to future hosts.

Lovely family home. Lovely family home! Cot and high chair available for my baby, and some puzzles and a book set that my 3-year-old enjoyed. Very cosy for winter, the wood-burning fireplace warms the whole house up nicely as the chimney goes through the main bedroom upstairs, which warms it right up. Wooden floorboards are a bit loud when you've got young children and you want to move around after they are in bed, but don't think that can be helped. The setup is private. The host lives on the property in a private flat, which is completely separate in that there is a separate entrance, but to note: it is part of the house, so there's what seems like a bedroom door opposite the bathroom that says private on it. Behind which is where the host stays. So although the door stays closed, it does feel like there is someone in the house with you as you can hear the occasional footsteps and shower, etc. Not a complaint but just think I would have liked to understand the setup prior to coming as you can't see this in the pictures. The bedroom with the deck that has stairs that go down into the garden, that is where the host stays. But she really was lovely and we absolutely loved the stay here. We would love to return and would highly recommend this stay for a family or even a couple or friends. The garden and brook behind it are fantastic; my toddler packed his Wellington boots and we all had loads of fun out there! Thank you for having us .

Beautiful setting. Lovely, but at least 2 toilets would help. Creaking floors annoy others trying to sleep. Otherwise excellent.

Lovely! A picture-perfect, spacious house and plot next to the proverbial babbling water stream in a tranquil rural setting.

Lieflik! 'n Prentjiemooi, ruim huis en erf langs die spreekwoordelike kabbelende waterstroom in 'n rustige landelike omgewing.

Top notch relaxation! Hanging out around the fireplace, dining table, and on the porch. Lovely place to sleep. The interior design is an inspiration! Beautiful house with everything you need. Walking distance from coffee and art shops. Can highly recommend it!

Ontspanning uit die boonste rakke! Gekuier om die kaggelvuur, etenstafel, en op die stoep. Lieflike slaapplek. Die interior ontwerp is 'n inspirasie! Pragtige huis met alles wat mens nodig het. Loopafstand van koffie en kuns winkeltjies. Kan dit sterk aanbeveel!
