Beautiful escape surrounded by abundant Klein Karoo splendour.

Beautiful cosy cottage with a spectacular view of the mountain and river. Unfortunately, we had foul weather the whole weekend, so I would love to visit again to explore the many mountain trails and to enjoy river kayaking and braai facilities. Lovely relaxing stoep and a huge variety of birds and lovely hosts.

Ons het verskriklik lekker gebly. Die gasvrou was baie gaaf en hulpvaardig. Die uitsig is pragtig en ons sal definitief River View Cottages vir enige iemand aanbeveel wat rus vir die siel nodig het.

Our kind of paradise!

A gem of spot tucked away deep into the mountains with seemingly your own private view! Fresh mountain water, a river runs through and a wonderful sense of place. Love the minimalist but stylish taste that follows through the houses and spacious patios - immersed in nature, nature and more nature!

Rustig; stilte; raak bewus van hoe kosbaar tyd is.

Verseker 'n besoek werd. Jy kom tot 'n halt, leer om weer diep asem te haal en die natuur te hoor en te ervaar. Sit asb. net 'n laken op die bed vir die warme aande. Die leesstof was 'n verrassing, asook die besondere kunswerke teen die muur. Die kothuis is funksioneel ontwerp. Dankie vir jou warme ontvangs en goeie kommunikasie via selfoon.

Restful; silence; become aware of how precious time is.

Definitely worth a visit. You come to a halt, learn to breathe deeply again and hear and experience nature. Please sit down just a sheet on the bed for the warm evenings. The reading material was a surprise, as were the special works of art on the wall. The cottage is functionally designed. Thank you for your warm welcome and good communication via mobile phone.

'n Plek waarna jy altyd sal wil teruggaan.

Ons het heerlik gebly. Die ideale plek as jy jou siel wil skoonwas van die moderne euwels (wat wel soms nodig is). Dankie dat daar geen TV of WiFi is nie. Ons het heerlik ontspan en net gestaar na die mooiste berge. Die rivier maak dit prentjie mooi. Word aanbeveel as jy wil rus en die natuur wil geniet en die stilte deel wil gebruik om jou weer mens te maak. Die regte plek om te rus. Dankie aan die eienaars se gasvryheid.

We had a wonderful stay. The ideal place if you want to wash your soul clean of the modern evils (which is sometimes necessary). Thank goodness there is no TV or WiFi. We had a great time relaxing and just staring at the most beautiful mountains. The river makes it picture-perfect. Recommended if you want to rest and enjoy nature and use the silence part to make you human again. The right place to rest. Thanks to the owners' hospitality.

Most serene place I have ever been in, wow wow wow.

The location is out of this world. The animal life and especially bird life is spectacular. Romantic and breathtaking views of the mountains. The Gamka river was the first river I felt safe to swim in and could spend hours staring at it. There were no visible spiders and none in the canoes which is a big deal for me who is very scared of spiders. My fiancé and I fell in love all over again. Bronwyn is amazing! I would definitely recommend this stay to anyone who wants to connect with nature again. Thanks, Bronwyn!

Ongelooflike natuurskoon. Knus verblyf vir 5 dae voor die kaggel. Dit was koud buite! Huisie het alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Heerlike vars broodjie bederf. Bronwyn en haar familie is uiters vriendelik en behulpsaam. Sal dit sterk aanbeveel as jy wil wegkom uit stad se gewoel.

Perfek ingerigte 'cottage' in asemrowende natuur - Sielsverrykend.

Die perfekte wegbreek tussen berge, langs die rivier vir stilte om liggaam, siel en gees te herlaai. Die 'cottage' is skoon en netjies en baie smaakvol ingerig met goeie kwaliteit breekware, eetgerei en toerusting. Die persoonlike welkom nota op die deur som die detail op. Bronwyn is die ideale gasvrou en het van die bespreking af goed gekommunikeer en moeite gedoen met inligting en foto's van die eenheid waarin ons bespreek het. Sy het spesiaal kom kennis maak en seker gemaak alles is gerieflik. River View Cottages is alles en meer as wat die foto's en beskrywing weergee.

Perfectly furnished 'cottage' in breathtaking nature - Soul enriching.

The perfect getaway between mountains, next to the river for silence to recharge body, soul and spirit. The 'cottage' is clean and tidy and very tastefully furnished with good quality crockery, cutlery and equipment. The personalized welcome note on the door sums up the detail. Bronwyn is the ideal hostess and communicated well from the booking and made an effort with information and photos of the unit in which we booked. She specially came to get acquainted and made sure everything was comfortable. River View Cottages is everything and more than the photos and description convey.

Wonderlike afsonderling met riviergenot.

Baie netjiese, goed toegeruste kothuise vir twee. Daar is 3 koshuise, elk met private stoep en braai. Wonderlike romantiese atmosfeer, met die hangmat, vuur en helder sterre. Die rivier is naby en daar is kanoes, bomabraai, jetty en gras om op te sit en piekniek hou. Lekker vir die warm dae! Calitzdorp is so 20 min se ry weg (insluitend 'n 7 km-grondpad). Gasvrou verkoop ys en hout ook indien benodig.

The river is close by and there are canoes, barbecue, jetty and grass to sit on and have a picnic. Nice for the hot days! Calitzdorp is about 20 minutes drive away (including a 7 km dirt road).

Gerieflik, skoon, netjies.

Die ideale wegbreek van alles wat alledaags is. Omring deur berge, baljaar in die rivier met kanoes, daar is 3 staproetes, visvang is heerlik en ontspannend. Sterre skyn op hul helderste. Geen konneksie met die buite wêreld. Geen WiFi /Internet of enige sein. Dis uitsonderlik. Gaan met genoeg voorraad t.o.v kos en drinkgoed.

Heerlike verblyf in kunstige en aardse akkommodasie met 'n pragtige uitsig op die rivier en berge.

Ons naweek by River View Cottages is hoogs aan te bevele vir medereisigers wat lief is vir kunstige en aardse verblyf in Suid-Afrika se pragtige natuur. Die pragtige huisies met talle geriewe, 'n binnenshuise kaggeltjie vir kouer aande, interessante boeke en 'n verandah vanwaar mens ure kan uittuur oor die kronkelende rivier en berge, het ons harte gesteel. Ons kon ook lekker braai tussen die aalwyne en spekbome. Baie dankie Colin, Bronwyn en kinders dat julle jul pragplek met soveel deel.

Our weekend at River View Cottages is highly recommended for fellow travelers who love artistic and earthy accommodation in South Africa's beautiful nature. The beautiful cottages with numerous amenities, an indoor fireplace for colder evenings, interesting books and a verandah from which one can spend hours looking out over the winding river and mountains, stole our hearts. We could also have a nice barbecue among the aloes and bacon trees. Thank you very much Colin, Bronwyn and children for sharing your beautiful place with so many.

We had a wonderful stay at these cottages. The attention to detail and the friendly reception was amazing!

I am really very sensitive to noise. For me the water pump at the river was a real disturbance. I could never sit down at the river with this noise and even at the cottage it was for me not pleasant. But I am sure for most people it would not be a problem.

River View Cottages 's response

Hi Marelize,

We are so glad to hear that your enjoyed your stay here and we really appreciate your feedback with regards to our pump at the river. We bought the smallest and quietest one possible and try our hardest to work around guests and to only put it on when absolutely necessary. We are so sorry that it disturbed you.

Kind regards,

Herlaai jou batterye by River View.

River View cottages kry 'n goue ster vir netheid. Alles wat jy nodig het om mee kos te maak en te braai. Ons het veral die kaggel in die kamer geniet. Dit is nogal 'n rowwe grondpad wat 'n mens aandurf, maar dit is als die moeite werd om te herlaai sonder selfoon ontvangs. Al wat ek kan aanbeveel is dat daar hout ingesluit word omdat 'n mens nie noodwendig hout kan saambring nie.

Recharge your batteries at River View.

River View cottages get a gold star for cleanliness. Everything you need to cook and grill with. We especially enjoyed the fireplace in the room. It's quite a rough dirt road that one ventures on, but it's all worth it to recharge without cell phone reception. All I can recommend is that wood be included because you cannot necessarily bring wood with you.

Pragtige natuurskoon en stilte.

Jy moet seker maak jy het alles wat nodig is voordat jy uit Calitzdorp ry. Dis 'n taamlike entjie as jy melk of brood of sou vergeet het! Julle aanduidings moet insluit dat die uitdraai is met die bordjie Matjiesvlei. Anders ry jy eers verby en moet dan weer terugdraai. Grondpad is nie te sleg nie - met sedan motor sal dit maar bietjie stadig gaan. Huisie se fasiliteite is baie goed. Bed 'n bietjie hard, maar water is warm en uitsig is wonderlik.

Beautiful nature and silence.

You have to make sure you have everything you need before leaving Calitzdorp. Your directions have to include that the turn-off is with the board Matjiesvlei. Otherwise you pass it first and then have to turn around. The dirt road is not too bad, with a sedan it would have been slow going. The house's amenities are very good. Bed a bit hard but the water was warm and the view wonderful.

River View Cottages 's response

Hi Bennie,

I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay here. Thank you for your suggestions.

For future guests, the 7km gravel road into the valley is in a good condition and absolutely fine for a normal sedan car. Don’t worry about getting lost, all guests are provided with detailed directions to our cottages and the route from town is easy to navigate, with only two clearly indicated turns to look out for. The double bed base sets are from The Rest Assured Heritage range with Orthopeadic Superior Bonell Coil mattresses.

Kind regards,
Bronwyn

Perfek!

Dit is die beste verblyf, kothuisie is perfek met alles wat benodig word. Skoon, netjies en tog eenvoudig! Sal dit definitief aanbeveel! Bronwyn en haar familie is die aangenaamste mense en baie hulpvaardig. Daar is ook baie om te doen en te sien. Werklik 'n asemrowende stukkie paradys! Sal definitief weer daar gaan ontspan!
