Pleasant stay.

Relaxing and fun; only the walk up the steep driveway was really tiring.

Baie lekker blyplek vir 'n wegbreek saam met vriende.

Die blyplek is baie goed ingerig alles wat n mens nodig het, dis netjies en skoon en genoeg hitte vir die koue tye. Ons het baie lekker gebly en sien uit na 'n volgende keer.

Very nice place to stay for a getaway with friends.

The place to stay is very well furnished, everything you need, it's neat and clean and enough heat for the cold times. We had a great stay and look forward to a next time.

Geen privaatheid en ons gedeelte van water was oorgeneem deur bure se familie.

Die foto's is misleidend, lyk of huis teen die water is en die water gedeelte wat vir ons gebruik was, is deur die bure gebruik en het ons baie ontuis gevoel. Mense wat deur ons driveway loop en die skottelgoedwasser was gemuf en ons 2 ure gevat om aartappels op die gasstoof te kook.

No privacy and our portion of water was taken over by neighbors family.

The photos are misleading, it looks like the house is against the water and the water part that was used for us was used by the neighbors and we felt very out of home. People walking through our driveway and the dishwasher was moldy and took us 2 hours to cook potatoes on the gas stove.

Iets anders wat ek nog nooit beleef het.

Wens die huis het meer van van hedendaagse goed bv. 'n beter TV. Die huis kort net 'n paar 'upgrades', maar die kombuis en badkamers is almal puik.

Something different I've never experienced before.

Wish the house had more modern things like a better TV. The house just needs a few upgrades, but the kitchen and the bathrooms were all excellent.

Two days without water made it an extremely bad experience.

Personally, I would recommend that the quality and availability of water in the taps be confirmed before bookings are made in the area. The pollution in the Vaal river can also be seen here with the dead fish in the water. It is a shame because the above will seriously harm the owners and is beyond their control.

Awesome stay!

The house is very well equipped. Very quiet and peaceful area. Lovely to have a lapa area, including a toilet down at the river. There is no swimming pool however we were allowed to use the Goose Bay Canyon Conference centre swimming pool which was a "life saver" - it was very very hot and we were able to cool down. Will definitely be going back!

Was gerieflik en goed toegerus alhoewel die ligging van die huis 'n groot teleurstelling was.

Ligging van die huis was 'n groot teleurstelling aangesien dit oorkant die pad van die rivier is en nie teenaan die rivier grens soos voorgestel op die foto's en in die naam nie. Kombuisgeriewe was goed toegerus en netjies. Anna se skoonmaakdiens was fantasties en handig. Die ondervloerse verhitting is 'n groot aanwins in die winter en die kaggel is 'n absolute wenner. Beddens was gerieflik met die warmkombers en die linne en handdoeke was netjies en vars. Die binne en buite braai-area/onthaalarea is baie gerieflik. Die huis het egter die hele naweek sleg geruik a.g.v die rioolsisteem wat nie behoorlik werk nie. Sommige van die gaste het die feit dat daar nie reëlings by parkeerarea buite is nie, gevaarlik en ongemaklik gevind. Die beheerkontroles vir beide die televisie en radio het nie na behore gewerk nie. Ons grootste teleurstelling met die huis was egter die ligging. Soos aangedui op die foto sowel as in die naam "no 11 ON the river" skep dit die indruk dat die huis aan die rivier grens alhoewel dit inteendeel oorkant die pad van die rivier gesitueer is. Die advertensie van die ligging is misleidend.

Was comfortable and well equipped although the location of the house was a big disappointment.

Location of the house was a big disappointment as it is across the road from the river and not bordering the river as suggested in the photos and in the name. Kitchen facilities were well equipped and tidy. Anna's cleaning service was fantastic and helpful. The underfloor heating is a great asset in the winter and the fireplace is an absolute winner. Beds were comfortable with the warm blanket and the linen and towels were neat and fresh. The indoor and outdoor braai area/reception area is very comfortable. However, the house smelled bad all weekend due to the sewage system not working properly. Some of the guests found the fact that there are no arrangements at the parking area outside dangerous and uncomfortable. The control controls for both the television and radio did not work as they should. However, our biggest disappointment with the house was the location. As indicated in the photo as well as in the name "no 11 ON the river" it creates the impression that the house borders the river although on the contrary it is situated across the road from the river. The advertisement of the location is misleading.

Hi Tessa
Thank you for your constructive comments. We will in future make sure that guests know that they need to cross the road to the river. Thank you for making us aware of the drain problem - it has been fixed.
So pleased that you were warm and cosy with the underfloor and fire.
Regards
Gail
