Because of other guests, our stay was unpleasant, so much so that we didn't sleep over the second night.

Home away from home.
The rooms inside the house are very nicely done and the kitchen well equipped. It worked very easily that the kitchen cupboards were labeled with the contents of each cupboard. The garden was beautiful and we had a great time on the porch. The outside rooms still need attention. The pink/purple room's color is just too restless for my taste. General maintenance inside and out needs to be looked after otherwise it will soon become a big expense to do everything. Gas stove's back plate tripped the electricity and Werner was informed accordingly. Weber was also not in working order. Overall we had a great time.

Baie dankie Lizette, dit is altyd baie lekker om terugvoer te kry.
Ons is deur 'n geweldige besige Fees seisoen en dan gebeur dit van tyd tot tyd dat ons nie by al die instandhouding kan uitkom nie, maar ons is tans besig om alles weer op standaard te kry. Baie dankie.
Die Purple Starling sal verseker bietjie verander word en ja, ek is geneig om saam jou te stem.
Goeie nuus! As julle weer kom kuier het ons waarskynlik ons swembad al in!
Kom kuier gerus weer.
Groete,

Aqua View Riverside is just one of those places that you will always want to return to because it is so beautiful and everything is handled so professionally and amazingly. I will definitely refer people there.

Disappointed
Disappointed in the sense of: View: it has been said that you can see the river when you are outside which is not true Rooms: asked if it was outside or inside the house and said there are 3 outside but you have to enter from inside the house. The room was neat and stylish. Gate: no car gate but sensors. Have to get out of the car and unlock the gate yourself. Park : people who are drunk and urinating.

Aqua View Riverside Guesthouse is definitely a place that I will visit again. It is very close to everything, around the corner and you are in the main street and the river is very close and had a great walk next to the water. We received a kind welcome and everything was explained to us. It was quiet and relaxing. The time we spent at Aqua View Riverside Guesthouse we enjoyed and appreciated. Thank you very much and hope to see you again in the future.

Got less than I expected.
Unfortunately, no one received us at Aqua View Riverside B&B. The owner gave me directions on how to obtain the key which was locked in a safe. I was also disappointed in the size of the room. The bedding was clean but very used. Sheets were frayed at seams and folds. The springs of the beds had been very uncomfortable. Mattresses were slept through. One of the coffee cups had been "chipped". There was no coffee in the room. Only tea. Towels were not good quality. Quite disappointing. Mirror in bathroom cracked. Bath and sink not up to standard for a guest house. River front is completely inaccessible from guest house although there are signs to the river that lead you to a wire. I also suggest changing the name. It indicates that it is a bed and breakfast guest house. However, this is not the case.

Hi Leon
In antwoord op jou probleme met die gastehuis die volgende:
Sleutel in kluis by aankoms:
Dit is standaard prosedure by meeste van die gastehuise wanneer gaste laat inboek (aankomstyd normaalweg 2:00nm)
Van die gastehuise het nie na-ure personeel op die perseel nie. Ons het tot dusver geen probleme ervaar met die sisteem nie en ons respekteer ons gaste se privaatheid te alle tye.
Die grootte van die kamer kan nie bevraagteken word nie aangesien dit n baie ruim kamer is en daar werklik geen klagtes ontvang is tot dusver oor hierdie aspek nie. Wat die linne aanbetref, het ons die probleem aangespreek en reg gestel. Die matrasse is hotel standaard matrasse en word noukeurig dopgehou.Alle aspekte van die klagtes is opgevolg en reg gestel waar nodig.
Wat betref die bad en wasbak kan ons geen probleem vind nie en dit is wel op standaard.
Betreffende toegang tot die rivier, dis is absoluut toeganklik. Daar is n paadjie wat lei tot n hek wat toegang verlang tot direk by die rivier en ons het al soveel komplimente ontang van gaste wat teen die rivier gaan piekniek hou het en selfs n baie romantiese braai gaan hou het.
Ons het wel die naam van die gastehuis verander na Gastehuis i.p.v Bed en Ontbyt en daar is vooraf wel telefonies kennis gegee dat dit nie n Bed en Ontbyt gastehuis is nie. Ons gaan wel weer terug na die Bed en Ontbyt.
Ons apologie aan u dat alles nie volgens u smaak gebeur het nie, en vertrou dat u weer van ons gastehuis in die toekoms gebruik sal maak om wel u verblyf n baie aangename ondervinding te maak.
Groete.

We were booked in the room upstairs, door is see through, i feel like the place is not maintained.
Aqua View Riverside Guesthouse 's response
Hi Orateng
Apologies if everything was not to your liking. Please allow me to explain the following.
The Red Bishop Room is one of our most popular rooms due to the total privacy. The door at the bottom of the staircase locks from the inside and nobody can see through the door on top of the staircase, nor entering the room unless you unlock for them.
According to the Guesthouse Manager, she gave you the option to choose any other room, the minute you complained. Thank you for spending an additional night with us.
Maintenance, cleanliness and customer service are our priorities. It is a pity you did not discuss this with Tersia, as we strive to give our guests a wonderful stay.
Please contact us should you need accommodation again. We would love to accommodate you again
Regards,
Aqua View Group

Quiet and safe guest house, very well located.
The room was clean and tidy and we were allowed to leave later on the Sunday, for which we were very grateful. I played golf. The place is right across from the Parys golf course, and was able to take a quick shower there before we had to drive. All criticism I have is that the place - our room - needs some TLC. Towel racks that are pulling out of the wall, doors that are jamming and so on. There is also no air conditioner, but we knew that when we booked.

Goeidag Santie,
Die gastehuis se bestuurder sou enige tyd die kombuis aan julle beskikbaar gemaak het, indien julle gevra het. Geen van die kamers het mikrogolfoonde in nie aangesien die gemeenskaplike kombuis tot almal se beskikking is. Die problem met die water toevoer is 'n munisipale problem wat ons ongelukkig geen beheer oor het nie.
Baie dankie vir julle besoek aan ons, en ons sien uit daarna om julle weer te ontvang.

Just one thing. The bed we slept on is very old. We had body aches. Told the landlady about it, but it is the owner's responsibility to see to it. Our room's shower head is broken. Bathroom door does not close 100%.

Thank you for your review. Would like to mention that your request for a new mattress was fulfilled, with compliments from yourself the next morning. Our mattresses are new and of the required hotel standard, with a 20 year guarantee. We have checked the door as well as the shower head, and both are in good working order.

No shampoo, shower gel, hand soap or anything like that in the bathroom. A bit annoying if you have to go looking for it at the shops.
Beautiful house, but needs maintenance. It looks tired. The worst was the lack of bathroom goodies. Rather ask R450 and supply the goods. Everyone does that to make the accommodation more comfortable. It's clean and neat. Pity one can't get closer to the river. Aqua View is misleading - you only see trees and plants, no river. Would also be a good idea to offer a light breakfast, even if just a fruit salad or coffee/rusks from an old lady in Parys. A cowbell is needed to locate the landlady when you want to leave.

Hi Andre
I am sorry to hear about your experience.
We charge you R450.00 per room. I believe you were just 1 person staying in a double room which is a fair price.
We do not supply shampoo or conditioner because normally everyone brings their own. But we definitely supply soap and hand soap.
The reason the house is not close to the river as 3 weeks ago we had floods, where the water was up to the fence. I enjoy the trees at my guesthouse and that is my personal choose. In winter there are no leaves.
The landlady on arrival always informs her guests exactly where she is, and on the day you were looking for her she was in the house looking for you.
If you had only informed her of your requirements for breakfast, we would have supplied. Aqua View has had guests that eat Vegan Food which was prepared with prior arrangements.

Freedom and convenience is what it's all about.
Our stay at Aqua View Guest House was comfortable and the weekend passed "undisturbed". No one bothered us and we could come and go as we pleased. The guest house is just around the corner from the bustling Bree Street where numerous antique shops and coffee shops can be found. Our host was very thoughtful, friendly and accommodating. The items in the "loyalty bar" were a bit expensive, but the convenience makes up for it.
