It was a lovely peaceful weekend, couldn't have asked for better.
We would definitely recommend Groendraai River Cottages. The place was very neat and the decor was done very tastefully. They really thought of everything to make the stay comfortable. The "hot tub" was definitely a winner.

It was our first farm holiday and certainly not the last!
We had a very nice stay, the tranquility was good for everyone. We took advantage and enjoyed everything, from canoeing in the river, swimming in the sink, bird watching to the big wooden games outside kept everyone very entertained.

Most of our guests prefer a firm mattress, so that’s what we have in our cottages, but we also have a feather topper to give a ‘sleep on a cloud’ feeling.

Hi Frikkie, dankie vir jou positiewe terugvoer. Jy is reg - die 2 kleiner huisies is langs mekaar gebou, maar gelukkig is die kuier- & swemareas darem privaat en sien gaste mekaar nie eers nie.

Hi Ziphora - so glad that you’ve enjoyed your stay with us. You are correct, the two small cottages are next to each other. They are however private, so guests do not see each other. We also don’t allow loud music, as our guests visit us to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature. Sorry if you’ve had some loud talkers next to you this time - hope to see you soon.

The Groendraai River Cottages are very comfortable. We were very surprised with all the little things that were thought of to make it as easy and enjoyable as possible. Everything you can think of was already in the cottage for our convenience without asking for it. Very nice sitting in the warm pool which is heated with wood. Quiet by the river and a large veranda to relax. We will definitely visit again.

Weekend getaway with hubby. Be quiet and peaceful! Beautiful surroundings. Food for the soul.
We stayed in Silvercarb. From the moment we confirmed the reservation, Marissa sent us all the information about the house and what there is to do. We knew exactly where to go and what to do to get there and book in. The house has everything you need. Little things that made the stay more enjoyable. There is a hot tub, a Nespresso coffee machine with pods and a nice gas fireplace in the living room. A very nice porch with a dining room set, as well as a large living room set. Two nice reading chairs where you can relax and watch nature. An awful lot of birds, remember your binoculars and the stargazing is awesome. It's safe and the piece of dirt road to the house can also be driven by an ordinary car. Would definitely recommend Silvercarp! We had a very nice stay.

Wonderful place.
Groendraai and Silver Carp are stunning. It was fun exploring the working farm on our bikes and the cottage feels like a luxury lodge, had everything we needed and more. Would definitely go back again for a longer period, 2 nights was too little.

5 star? Definitely not!
I have no idea why Groendraai thinks they are 5-star. Upon moving onto the dirt road, our little house was on the shore. The photos made promises of a nice big porch, nice kitchen, cozy bedroom. And to our surprise, this was not what we got at all. It was more like 6 star! The nice body wash soap has elements of lemongrass that one doesn't even find in luxury hotels. Not to mention the shampoo! Marissa went out of her way to help us arrive after we got lost like real townies. My bike's tire went flat on the route and she immediately sacrificed one of their bikes. In addition, she gave us the airfryer that is only in the other cottages to use. And one of her people went to town the next day to see if they could replace the tire. One is only shy and only brings one's luxuries with one. Like your Sodastream machine. But then of course you forget the bottles. Again, I look up at the beautiful wooden wall shelf and what is there? Yep, one of the fancy things. Somewhat better than mine! Every single day for 3 days the weather was sunny. Beautiful. And on the last night, Vaalwater showed us the rain. So so beautiful. The farm's people are so friendly and my only complaint is that we didn't have enough time to explore the whole farm. People talk about sunsets, but honestly I have never experienced such picture-perfect moments. So now we have to go back for another visit. Not only to be received so openly and warmly again but to tick off the rest of our 'to do' things. Thank you Marissa, your passion shines through and through on the beautiful, comfortable and well-equipped cottages.

I haven't stayed in such neat places for a long time. I love the little places.
We were here on the weekend of 9 April 2022 and it was one of the neatest and most equipped cottages/lodges I have ever been to. They were clean and tidy and smelled good! It had a nice big gas shower and even a gas fireplace, air conditioning and a floor standing fan in each room. The fridge had a bowl of complimentary farm eggs, a few cartons of milk and a nice bottle of wine (you don't pay for it, it's free). There was also complimentary firewood under the compartment by the fireplace outside. There is also a safe for your handgun!. You only bring your clothes, fire pits and clothing. You will have a great time, the owner is also extremely friendly and will do anything to make sure you have a great time. I will go back and not think twice about it. Well done to Groendraai River Cottages.10/10.

Great stay. Great rest.
Thank you Marissa for the delicious treat, beautiful accommodation and exquisite picnic baskets. Silver Carp cottage is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful, exquisitely decorated and very comfortable. Everything and more you need is here. Our batteries were recharged after 3 days of glorious rest. We will definitely see you again and recommend you to anyone.

Wonderfully quiet and such a beautiful farm, with a very friendly hostess. Very tasty.
The cottages are beautifully laid out with everything needed, didn't need a single thing. Everything was in great condition, even shiny new kitchenware. Had a wonderful rest and relaxing time.

Breathtaking peaceful getaway spot.
It was our wedding anniversary, and the place exceeded our wildest dreams, everything was laid out so beautifully, there was no shortage of anything in that place. Marissa the hostess literally thought of everything to make our stay as special as possible. Thank you very much, I would highly recommend the place. The kayaks, the fishing, driving around the whole farm to explore was great fun. The stoep is so beautifully laid out to be able to relax and we were able to experience the most beautiful sunsets. Nice picture. Thank you very much for your hospitality Marissa and team. It was off the books.

You get so much more than you expect. The pictures don't do justice to how it looks there. Out of a book, picture perfect! Comfortably furnished and provides for more than at your own home. The breakfast basket was better than a 5 star!

Unbelievably beautiful house!
I haven't seen such a neat and well-maintained accommodation in a long time. Everything is of the best and no expense has been spared. It's a lovely holiday home with the boma, braai, dining table and sofas on a nicest patio with a beautiful view. The rooms and bathrooms are beautiful and I wish Marissa could come and decorate my house. It really is a lovely relaxing break and I wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful nature and view.
We had a great time staying in our unit. Nice big stoep and the boma which is close to the unit. My children had fun playing. The kitchen's storage space is small, but very comfortable with all the extras, the beds are a bit too hard.

Quiet weekend away from home.
Will go back to this peaceful place anytime. Everything you can think of is available in this comfortable place. House is nice and warm especially if you visit in winter. Take walking shoes with you, plenty of room to walk. Load power is not an issue and we didn't even know when the power was on or off.
