Riva Resort will be our overnight stop in Upington every time! Thank you.
Wonderful stay at Riva Resort which feels like a farm with all the animals, water and the distance from the town. Very quiet at night and the geese wake you up in the morning. Joey is an excellent hostess who regularly checks to see if you need anything while you relax at the restaurant serving delicious food! The room is spacious and the aircon a pleasure! Everything is sparkling clean in the en suite room!

Nice stay.
Very nice stay. The only suggestion I would make is that there are lights if it is loadshedding, because it is very dark.

Hallo Chantelle
Baie dankie vir jou terugvoering.
Ons het vir alle chalets voorsorg getref vir loadshedding.
Die hartseer is mos ongelukkig dat van die gaste die liggies en goed wat vir loadshedding in die chalets gesit word, inpak en saam neem.
Maar ek gaan beslis aandag gee aan jou versoek.
Mooi bly.

Disappointed.
Well slept and peaceful, but maintenance is needed. The unit we were in, the TV as well as the outside lights did not work, and the kettle only boiled when it wanted to. Although we indicated that we would eat in the restaurant that evening, there was no room inside and they wanted us to sit outside. preparation for a function the next day. Did make room inside later. What we wanted to order from the menu was not in stock and we had to settle for something else.

Excellent and wonderfully relaxing.
Warmly received by Peter. Staff are very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Joey (not allowed to say aunt) spoiled us with delicious sandwiches and a cold treat for the throat. The chat made us feel like we were family. Peter spoiled us with the most delicious breakfast and the food was perfect. When we left we were just sad to go. We were given sandwiches and fruit for road food on departure. Vlakkie the warthog, came to say hello every morning and it felt like we were back on the farm. Very nice and peaceful atmosphere and will definitely stay there again. It was really fun and people are awesome. The place to stay was nice and clean. Peter even brought us a battery and lighter during load shedding. You don't find thoughtfulness just anywhere.

Riva Resort could be a diamond in the Kalahari, but unfortunately it is poorly managed.
We booked for 2 people but they only prepared for 1. Kitchen equipment and bathroom supplies were for 1 person only. Free WiFi, but the WiFi password is missing in chalet. Kitchen sink leaks a lot, 1 power point in kitchen out of order, kitchen equipment inadequate for a "self catering" chalet, bedside table handle is off. Peter, on reception, was an absolute star and went out of his way to accommodate our needs. Thanks, Peter!

Fasiliteite is baie goed, maar die restaurant het twee partytjies gehou met ongelooflike harde musiek tot 2 uur in die oggend. Nie 'n goeie plek as 'n goeie nagrus 'n prioriteit is nie.

Facilities are very good, but the restaurant had two parties with incredibly loud music until 2 in the morning. Not a good place if a good night's rest is a priority.
Noise from the restaurant was not acceptable, could not sleep until 2 in the morning.

Safe, quiet and delicious mattress.
We just stayed overnight on our way back from Namibia and left early again. So there was no time to view the area. We were very grateful for air conditioning which we were able to heat up to make the unit comfortable on a very cold evening. The mattress also slept great. The kitchenette's contents are the absolute minimum and neglected and detract from the otherwise comfortable unit. The WiFi details were not available in the unit and it was too late to inquire about them.

Family.
What a gem among the dunes. We booked the family room. Both rooms are nice and big, the kitchen has enough space. Thank goodness there is aircon, it kept us nice and cool. We had a great barbecue on the private deck. Our place was cleaned daily by a very friendly lady who also put in fresh towels. Pieter and Joey are certainly customer-oriented. We were carried on our hands. Pieter is a real asset and he knows what he is doing for sure. We cooled off in the pool. Without the restaurant we would not have survived. It is so nice to sit there on the deck and drink something very cold from a glass that Joey takes out of the freezer. Our drinks didn't get hot soon. The food was delicious. And the braai packets are an excellent idea. It's really fun with all the animal sounds. From the dog, cats, warthog, potbellies, sheep, llamas, springbok to the variety of birds. And of course you can walk down to the river. It was really very nice.
