Gerieflike huis, baie mooi omgewing met 'n pragtige uitsig.

Dit is 'n stil en rustige plek. Net wat mens nodig het om bietjie te rus na 'n besige week. Die uitsig op die rivier is pragtig. Die huis is baie skoon en netjies.

Comfortable house, very nice surroundings with a beautiful view.

It is a quiet and peaceful place. Just what you need to relax after a busy week. The view on the river is beautiful. The house is very clean and tidy.

Ons tweede keer terug want een keer was nie genoeg nie.

Baie lekker plekkie op die Vaalrivier. Die rivier loop amper op jou voorstoep verby. 'n Baie gerieflike groot grasperk, swembad en kuierarea is wat ons laat terugkom het. Die huis het alles wat mens nodig het, vanaf 'n stoof met potte en panne tot en met 'n French press vir jou koffie in die oggend. My enigste drawback sal die blou aapies wees wat daar rond is, maar dit is glad nie die plek se skuld nie. Ongelukkig het hulle die hele Parys dorp oorgeneem en dit klink my is 'n probleem oorals.

Our second return because once was not enough.

Very nice place on the Vaal River. The river passes almost on your doorstep. A very comfortable large lawn, pool and lounge area is what kept us coming back. The house has everything you need, from a stove with pots and pans to a French press for your coffee in the morning. My only drawback would be the blue monkeys that are around, but that is not the place's fault at all. Unfortunately they have taken over the whole of Paris town and it sounds to me like there is a problem everywhere.

Hi Adrie, was a pleasure to host you and your family. You were great guests! The monkeys are a nuisance, but unfortunately we can’t get rid of them.

Groep kuier, Vaalrivier, mooiste uitsig en vakansie atmosfeer.

Ons het heerlik gekuier. Pragtige uitsig oor die swembad en rivier. Die mooiste tuin, dit voel behoorlik soos vakansie. Die huis is gemaklik, met alles wat nodig is. Ons is vriendelik ontvang deur die gasvrou, en sy het gesorg dat ons tuis voel. Sal beslis weer kom kuier.

Group visit, Vaal River, most beautiful view and holiday atmosphere.

We had a great time. Beautiful view of the pool and river. The most beautiful garden, it really feels like a holiday. The house is comfortable, with everything needed. We were kindly received by the hostess, and she made us feel at home. Will definitely visit again.

Not good.

Unfortunately it was not good, we were robbed the night we got there, and spent the next two nights on edge. Photos of the river were very deceiving; there was no access, we could not get to it. The host, however, seemed polite.

Paradise on the Vaal 's response

I’m sorry about the burglary out of your car. The photos were taken last year when the Vaal River was very full. At the moment, Vaal Dam is 30% full and the river is the lowest it has been in ages, so the access to the river is different. There are not many private properties which have access to the river, but this has, in Parys.

Heerlik gekuier! Sal beslis weer gaan.

Dis 'n pragtige ou huis met 'n baie mooi erf wat uitloop op die rivier. Rustig en stil. Huis was baie netjies en skoon. Daar is alles wat jy mag nodig kry. Heerlik gekuier!

Dit was waarlik ‘Paradise’. Ons het heerlik gebly.

Asemrowend mooi en natuur beeldskoon. 'n Rustige wegbreek, net wat ons nodig gehad het.

Huis is goed geleë, buite-area wat uitkyk op die rivier is pragtig, maar die huis kort baie aandag!

Die huis is op 'n prime spot! Huis was skoon, maar kort dringend 'n opgradering. Dekor, eetgerei, gordyne is baie oud en lyk verwaarloos. Huis moet minimalisties wees, te veel goed wat onnodig is en rondstaan. Kombuiskaste kan ook vervang word. Gasvrou was baie aangenaam en dadelik op ons boodskappe geantwoord. Die huis het baie potensiaal, maar moet aandag aangegee word.

House is well located, outside area overlooking the river is beautiful, but the house needs a lot of attention!

The house is in a prime spot! House was clean but in dire need of an upgrade. Decor, cutlery, curtains are very old and look neglected. Home should be minimalistic, too many things that are unnecessary and lying around. Kitchen cabinets can also be replaced. Hostess was very pleasant and answered our messages immediately. The house has a lot of potential, but needs attention.

Totally overpriced!

Geen warm water gehad vir hele naweek nie, beddegoed oud en uitgewas, duvet inners ouer as tyd. Koffie stasie: geen suiker of melk/Cremora. Swembadwater was grasgroen, gasvrou het geen opleiding in dit wat sy moet doen nie.

Heerlike, gerieflike verblyf, pragtige tuin!

Dit is werklik 'n paradys, so 'n pragtige tuin tot teen die oewer van die rivier, skoon swembad, naby winkels en eetplekke en gerieflik ingerig.

Very relaxing stay, near nature, for a family of 6.

We were a family of 6, with 2 children aged 3 and 6, and found the house and sleeping arrangements in good condition and well catered for. There is 2 sofas in the sitting room that will accommodate 2 extra children as well. For fishing you will need water boots to get near the rocks and pools. There is a lot of steps from the house to the pool and riverfront that elderly people will find difficult to negotiate. It is a very relaxing place to be, very near to nature, with lovely river views from the house. We will definitely stay at this paradise again.

Paradise on the Vaal 's response

It was a pleasure to host Olga's family. it is easier to use the paths on the sides of the property to get to the river rather than walking down the steps!
Hope to host you again soon

Amazing stay. My toddler enjoyed being outside.

We had a wonderful time at Paradise on the Vaal. The place is spacious and extremely clean. The kitchen is also well equipped. The house is situated on the river and the yard is spacious. My 3 year old had a great time playing outside. We will definitely make a return at some point.
