Pragtige moderne cottage te midde van 'n rustige plaasomgewing.

Ons het heerlik gebly, alles is uiters netjies met moderne geriewe. Die dekor is pragtig, skoon maar gesellig, en die kombuis is toegerus vir lekker kook. Daar is selfs ondervloerse verhitting deurgaans wat ons knus gehou het te midde van die koue winter. Die groot stoep is ideaal vir kuier en braai in enige weer. Ons sal vir seker weer kom.

Beautiful modern cottage in the middle of a peaceful farm setting.

We had a wonderful stay, everything is extremely neat with modern facilities. The decor is beautiful, clean but cosy, and the kitchen is equipped for good cooking. There is even underfloor heating throughout which kept us cozy in the middle of the cold winter. The large porch is ideal for visiting and barbecuing in any weather. We will come again for sure.

Onvergeetlike kuier in die Koue Bokkeveld.

Pragtige Huisie in 'n pragtige omgewing.

Die huis is toegerus met alles wat jy nodig het en kyk uit op 'n pragtige omgewing. 'n Lekker stofie om die koue uit te hou. Ons sien uit om in die somer te kom kuier en die omgewing met die bergfietse te verken.

The house is equipped with everything you need and overlooks beautiful surroundings. A nice fabric to keep out the cold. We look forward to visiting in the summer and exploring the area with the mountain bikes.

Kan nie wag vir volgende kuier by Rietvley Cottage nie!

Die cottage is pragtig binne, smaakvol, volledig toegerus en skoon. Die "ver" kyk vanaf die heerlike stoep terwyl jy lees, kuier of braai is ongelooflik! Jy ontspan dadelik en kan nie glo hoe vinnig die tyd vlieg nie.

Can't wait for next visit to Rietvley Cottage!

The cottage is beautiful inside, tasteful, fully equipped and clean. The "far" view from the lovely porch while reading, visiting or barbecuing is incredible! You immediately relax and can't believe how fast time flies.

Sederberg-rustigheid.

Allermooiste omgewing, lieflike plaas en huisvesting. Alles ruim. Lieflik gekuier vir 2 weke, vriendelike gasvrou en werkers. Drink koffie op daai groot stoep en verkyk jouself aan die berge en skape wat wei. Sentraal vir dag uitstappies in alle rigtings.

Rietvley is 'n stukkie paradys.

Mooiste uitsig vir 360 grade waar jy kyk. Sterreprag soos wat mens net in Karoo kan ervaar. Kans om regtig af te skakel. Dankie vir Ylodi wat gehelp het om ys-/vrieskas aan "generator" te koppel nadat storm en weerlig kragstasie getref het. Waardeer al die vriendelikheid.

Rejuvenating the soul and mind.

Spending quality time with family. Enjoying nature and comfortable, affordable accommodation. Peaceful surroundings even though a working farm. Walking, riding, driving, and relaxing, you are surrounded by the beauty of the Koue Bokkeveld. The cottage is comfortable with underfloor heating and a fabulous fireplace for the colder winter days. The host is very friendly and helpful!

Wonderlike wegbreek.

Ek gaan enige dag terug Rietvley toe. Mens kan nie die rustigheid beskryf nie. Die kothuis is baie netjies en die swembad baie skoon. Ons kinders is 5 en 2 en hulle het 'n baie lekker tyd gehad op die plaas. Die kothuis bied baie privaatheid vir gaste, al is dit op die plaaswerf.

I'll go back to Rietvley any day. One cannot describe the tranquility. The cottage is very neat and the pool very clean. Our children are 5 and 2 and they had a great time on the farm. The cottage offers a lot of privacy for guests, even though it is on the farmyard.

The perfect destination if you just want to disappear from the busy city life.

This beautiful cottage is well equipped and comfortable. Its got this lovely stoep with a nice big fireplace to enjoy the perfect braai(not to mention the amazing view). We felt really safe and it was so quiet under the night sky. There is a dam close by with loads of bass for the fishing enthusiasts.

Great escape to the quiet Koue Bokkeveld!

We enjoyed our stay at Rietvley Cottage and the wide-open space of the veld. It was a lovely peaceful retreat. Thank you for having us, the hosts were friendly and helpful. Especially enjoyed the enclosed fireplace and underfloor heating as we had very chilly weather. The outdoor braai on the patio was also great to relax with a stunning view of the rocky plains and mountains.

Na ‘n jaar soos dié was dit die perfekte wegbreek om af te skakel en te herlaai. Die kothuis is pragtig en so goed ingerig. Die uitsig vanuit die kamers en die stoep is lafenis vir die siel. En die groot swembad was ‘n heerlike bederf om af te koel. Ons sal beslis weer gaan kuier.

Pragtige huis, jammer die kaggel werk nie.

Dit is 'n pragtige huis met baie mooi afwerkings en lieflik skoon. Heerlike stoep met genoeg kuierplek. Ons was in die middel van die winter daar en dit was ysigkoud en het die ondervloerse verhitting baie waardeer. Die enigste slegte ding is die kaggel wat nie wou werk nie en die hele huisie na rook laat ruik. Ons het gehoop om lekker in die aand voor die kaggel te sit maar kon glad nie die kaggel aan die gang kry nie. Andersins was dit 'n heerlike huisie om in te kuier.

Beautiful house, sorry the fireplace doesn't work.

It is a beautiful house with very nice finishes and lovely clean. Lovely porch with enough space to hang out. We were there in the middle of winter and it was freezing cold and really appreciated the underfloor heating. The only bad thing is the fireplace that didn't want to work and made the whole house smell of smoke. We hoped to sit in front of the fireplace in the evening but could not get the fireplace going at all. Otherwise it was a lovely house to visit.

A lovely, peaceful break underneath the stars!

We were fortunate enough to spend some quality, quiet time at Rietvley! The house is perfect for a couple or family with more than enough space for kids to play and roam! An awesome braai place on the huge stoep is perfect for a late afternoon braai as the sun sets over the beautiful Koue Bokkeveld landscape! Nearby rock paintings and a trip to the Tankwa Padstal is a must! Ylodi and her husband were amazing hosts! We would most definitely recommend Rietvley for a quiet and peaceful break!
