Smaakvol, netjies en so mooi! Lieflike uitsig oor die berge! Baie impressed!

RiverBend is 'n ongelooflik mooi plekkie - die cottage het absoluut alles wat 'n mens nodig kan hê vir selfcatering en die meubels is so mooi! Bed slaap heerlik, en was so impressed met die gastehuis! Die gasheer het ons wel nie ontvang nie, maar 'self check-in' details gestuur en dit was so maklik en gerieflik! Ek sal vir seker weer daar gaan bly!

Tasteful, neat and so beautiful! Lovely view of the mountains! Very impressed!

RiverBend is an incredibly beautiful place - the cottage has absolutely everything one could need for self-catering and the furniture is so beautiful! Bed sleeps wonderfully, and was so impressed with the guest house! The host did not receive us, but sent 'self check-in' details and it was so easy and convenient! I will stay there again for sure!

Stukkie van die geskiedenis maar netjies en smaakvol verblyf.

Die plek was silwerskoon - 'n heerlike maal het in die yskas gewag - die plek is groot en baie gerieflik. Lekker stil deel van die dorp met alles wat mens nodig mag hê. Sal beslis weer hier oorslaap en sal ook lekker wees om 'n ekstra paar dae te bly.

A piece of history but neat and tasteful accommodation.

The place was spotless - a delicious meal was waiting in the fridge - the place is big and very comfortable. Nice quiet part of the town with everything one might need. Would definitely stay here again and would also love to stay an extra few days.

Perfek vir 'n naweek weg of oorblyplek vir een aand. Die eenheid waarin ons gebly het, was skoon en baie netjies. Dit is die tweede keer dat my man daar gebly het, en hy sal beslis met toekomstige werksgeleenthede daar bly.

Super skoon, uiters netjies. . . wat 'n plesier!

Ons het in Cottage 3 gebly. Baie netjies en lekker ruim. Die rusbank wat na die TV kyk is bietjie pap, en nie so gemaklik om lank te sit en ontspan nie, maar verder het ons baie lekker gebly. Die beddegoed was pragtig skoon en spierwit en die stortvloer was ook silwerskoon. Mens kort net iets om jou goed op neer te sit in die badkamer, maar dit het nie baie gepla nie.

Super clean, extremely tidy. . . what a pleasure!

We stayed in Cottage 3. Very neat and spacious. The couch facing the TV is a bit mushy, and not so comfortable to sit and relax for a long time, but otherwise we had a very nice stay. The bedding was beautifully clean and pure white and the shower floor was also spotless. You just need something to put your things on in the bathroom, but it didn't bother much.

Quiet and safe.

Despite the two single mattress beds that were made up on the floor, the unit was very neat, clean, comfortable for two adults with two small children. . Unfortunately there were 3 of us and 1 child. Which means that the fw person, 66 years old, had to sleep on the floor. . We also took up the opportunity with the owner.

Baie aangenaam en warm gevoel.

Dit was regtig baie lekker. Al wat ek gemis het in kothuis 1 was 'n stofie. Daar is nie soos die ander kothuise braaigeriewe nie en daarom sou 'n tweeplaatstofie lekker kon werk.

Ons gesin het 1 nag in River Bend Cottages oorgebly.

Van al die plekke waar ons tydens ons Julie-vakansie oorbly het was ek die meeste deur hierdie plek beïndruk i.t.v. netheid, aandag aan detail en geriewe. Die sjampoe, seep en verfrisser was produkte uit die omgewing. Dit was 'n wonderlik om dit te gebruik en ek wens meer plekke wil sulke plasings in hulle eenhede doen. Die bed was 'n droom! Die ligging is perfek.
