Hierdie is 'n plek om aan te beveel. Ons het net een nag oorgeslaap, maar alles is daar wat mens benodig. Die binne kaggelvuur in die winter is uitstekend.

Good and necessary.

We had such a good stay. It is a bit far out of Dullstroom, but that allowed us to fully unwind and get a proper rest! Our fur baby loved it more than us, with space to run around and dams to cool off a bit.

Good day Euliza,

Thank you for your kind words. We are glad that you rested well and that the fur babies had a good break away too.

Honde-vriendelik, netjies skoon en beautiful natuurskoon!

Ons het 'n fantastiese tyd gehad saam met die gesin oor die Vadersdag lang naweek. Die eienaars was ongelooflik hulpvaardig, die natuurskoon en stilte was amazing. Die lodge was baie skoon met 'n goed toegeruste kombuis, die elektriese komberse op die beddens was 'n groot verrassing en vir seker 'n goeie belêing vir die koue maande. Dit was miskien bietjie ver vanaf Dullstroom af, maar die stilte en natuurskoon was die moeite werd. Ons honde kinders was geen probleem vir die ander besoekers nie en selfs die bure se hond het oor die naweek by ons kom tuis bly (ons braai vleis was seker lekkerder!).

Dog-friendly, neatly clean and beautiful scenery!

We had a fantastic time with the family over the Father's Day long weekend. The owners were incredibly helpful, the scenery and silence were amazing. The lodge was very clean with a well equipped kitchen, the electric blankets on the beds were a great surprise and for sure a good investment for the cold months. It was perhaps a bit far from Dullstroom, but the silence and scenery were worth it. Our dogs and children were no problem for the other visitors and even the neighbours' dog came to stay with us over the weekend (our barbecue meat was probably tastier!).

Dit was 'n uitstekende wegbreek.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Geen padgeraas, selfone, TV en verkeer nie. Ons het ons selfone afgesit, wakker geword van die natuur se lewe en vir 'n slag 'n bordspel of twee gespeel, gelag en saam kos gemaak. Dit is presies wat ons nodig gehad het.

Baie lekker en plesierig in die natuur.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die grondpad oppad soentoe is moeilik en gevaarlik en baie lank. Geen geluk met visvang nie. Geen visaktiwiteite gesien nie. Drains is geblokkeer in die bad en die stortwater vat lank om te dreineer.

Thank you for your feedback, Amey. We're terribly sorry about the blocked drains, as we were unaware of it. Our country plumbing is sensitive and our maintenance team has removed the foreign object causing the blockage. We do emphasise on the conditions of the gravel road, expected travel time, and preferred vehicles for travel (since the road is historic and located in a mountainous area) via Whatsapp and other media. I'm sorry that your journey was not as expected.

We had a pleasant overnight stay. Cabin was clean with crisp clean linen.

Traversing the gravel roads to Riverman Cabin and then to Dullstroom was a bit of a challenge even in a high clearance 4x4 vehicle and consequently, we were unable to savour the beautiful views.

Goed geleë, mooi natuurskoon, baie gasvry en netjies.

Linda en Gary laat jou onmiddelik tuis voel by aankoms. Akkommodasie is skoon en netjies. Riverman Cabin is goed geleë in 'n boomryke omgewing. Ook die damme vir vang van forel en bass is toeganklik vir mense wat moeilik loop. Word hoogs aanbeveel. Baie dankie vir die heerlike verblyf. Sal weer daarvan gebruik maak.

Fantastiese opset, stil en rustige natuuromgewing met alles wat jy nodig het in die fasiliteit.

Ons sal weer en weer wil teruggaan, maar die toegangsroete (wat nie die eienaars se skuld is nie) daarheen vanaf Dullstroom is regtig in 'n slegte toestand. Om aan te dui dat die pad sleg is is baie relatief en as 'n mens dit eerstehands ervaar selfs met 'n gewone bakkie, wonder jy hoeveel skade die sedans opdoen tydens die 1 uur-lange 22 km lange-grondpad. Ons sal graag toekomstige besoekers wou verwys a.g.v. die heerlike ervaring by die akkommodasiefasiliteit maar sal beslis sê dat hul 'n 4x4 moet hê. Dis jammer dat so 'n wonderlike geleentheid deur die plaaslike regering en munisipale kwessies m.b.t. die padinstandhouding, gekierang word.

Fantastic setting, quiet and peaceful natural environment with everything you need in the facility.

We would like to go back again and again, but the access route (which is not the owners fault) to it from Dullstroom is in really bad shape. To say that the road is bad is very relative and when one experiences it first hand even with a normal pickup, you wonder how much damage the sedans sustain during the 1 hour long 22 km dirt road. We would like to refer future visitors because the lovely experience at the accommodation facility but would definitely say that they must have a 4x4. It's a shame that such a wonderful event has been canceled by the local government and municipal issues regarding the road maintenance, be ranked.

Die gashere was baie verwelkomend en gasvry. Baie rustige omgewing met pragtige natuurskoon en ons kon heerlik stap in die omgewing.

Die akkommodasie is prakties toegerus en baie gemaklik. Die pad soontoe is net redelik ver vanaf Dullstroom omdat dit ook moeilike grondpad is. Maar juis as gevolg van dit ook veilig. As jy 'n 4x4 voertuig het en hou van 'n stil, rustige omgewing en nie gepla is oor luukse verblyf nie, dan is dit 'n wonderlike plek. Sal definitief aanbeveel as wil wegbreek uit die mal stadsgejaag.

The hosts were very welcoming and hospitable. Very peaceful surroundings with beautiful scenery and we were able to have a wonderful walk in the area.

The accommodation is practically equipped and very comfortable. The road there is only quite far from Dullstroom because it is also a difficult dirt road. But precisely because of this also safe. If you have a 4x4 vehicle and like a quiet, peaceful environment and are not bothered about luxury accommodation, then this is a great place. Would definitely recommend if you want to get away from the crazy city rush.

Baie rustig!

Die pad na Riverman Cabin is baie sleg maar met die regte voertuig is dit nie 'n probleem nie. Daar is wifi maar net by die restaurant. Die voordeel is dat 'n mens werklik goed kan rus. Die mense is baie vriendelik en ons die paar dae wat ons daar was het ons gerus asof ons 2 weke daar was. As jy die regte voertuig het, is dit 'n goeie opsie om weg te kom van alles af. Die huisies is goed toegerus. Daar is alles wat nodig is. Daar is 'n gasstoof, so as Eskom 'n probleem is, kan 'n mens nog kosmaak! Dit is 'n werklik wondermooi omgewing.

Thank you for your review, unfortunately our roads are not the best with little to no maintenance from the local municipalities, a slow and easy drive admiring the surrounding will get you here safe and sound and will be well worth the stay (it also keeps the nice guests like yourselves enjoying the piece and tranquility and the not so nice people out of our fantastic little Hamlet town).

Beautiful area, my children and dogs really enjoyed everything there was to do. Cabin was neat and had everything we needed. The dirt road is not great if you do not have a 4x4 type vehicle.

There is a short but beautiful Wattle walk where the dogs and my children were free to roam. They enjoyed the scenery, the donkeys, hot chocolate on the huge rocks behind the cabin and marshmallows at the fireplace on colder evenings. The children had a blast riding their bicycles on the off-road track. We were not affected that much by load shedding, as there was a gas geyser, stove and oven. The dirt road should rather be negotiated with a 4x4 type vehicle.

Ons en ons 3 worshonde het die natuurskoon en rus baie geniet (Nie dat my 3 maande oue puppy hou van rustigheid nie, die oues van dae wel) Die diens en verblyf en kos was uit die boonste rakke. As jy jouself bietjie wil bederf, gaan en geniet dit, al doen jy dit net om te gaan rus!

Netjies tog basies

Hoewel die eenheid baie netjies, die uitsig asemrowend en die omgewing rustig en stil is, het ons die toerusting van die eenheid basies gevind. 'n Meer moderne stortkop, handseep, los matte vir die koue sement vloer en toebehore soos 'n wynoopmaker (wat ons naburig geleen het) en 'n TV-oond sal aansienlik bydra tot die waarde en gerief. Ons ervaring was desondanks aangenaam.

Neat but basically

Although the unit is very tidy, the view breathtaking and the surroundings peaceful and quiet, we found the equipment of the unit basic. A more modern shower head, hand soap, loose rugs for the cold cement floor and accessories such as a wine opener (borrowed from our neighbor) and a TV oven would add significantly to the value and comfort. Nevertheless, our experience was pleasant.

Baie lekker gekuier.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang en die verblyf was presies wat ons verwag het. Ons het na 9 die eerste aand ontdek dat die eenheid nie warm water gehad het nie. Onmiddelik reggestel deur die eienaar en die volgende oggend was die water warm. Kersete was uitstekende waarde vir geld en baie aangename atmosfeer. Kan Riverman Cabin aanbeveel vir iemand wat net rustig wil ontspan en bedaar. Die pad na die oord sal ek nie met 'n sedanmotor aanvat nie maar daaraan kan die oordeienaars ongelukkig niks doen nie.

Had a great time.

We were received very kindly and the stay was exactly what we expected. We discovered after 9 the first night that the unit had no hot water. Corrected immediately by the owner and the next morning the water was hot. Christmas dinner was excellent value for money and very pleasant atmosphere. Can recommend Riverman Cabin to someone who just wants to relax and calm down. I will not take the road to the resort with a sedan car, but unfortunately the resort owners cannot do anything about it.

Was a little taste of paradise.

I had a lovely, peaceful stay at Riverman Cabin. It was a great place to get away to from the busy city life and just recharge. The owners were fantastic, my 4 year could not stop raving about the pizza that was made for him - "the best he ever had".

Baie dankie vir jou gasvryheid Karin. Julle plaas is asemrowend ─ 'n paradys. Ons het die skapies, ganse, koeie en voëllewe uit-en-uit geniet en waardeer. Julle het regtig 'n plek waar mens se siel kan rus.

Baie rustige, mooi natuurskoon.

Dit was vreeslik lekker rustig gewees, geen gevoel van gevaar of ongemak nie, Percy die eienaar en sy vrou Karin was baie gasvry en behulpsaam. Ons was ook bederf met 'n bootrit en heerlike dag op die dam en het dit vreeslik geniet. Die kos in die restaurant was uit die boonste rakke, dit was waarde vir ons geld en die ligging is uitstekend. Die eenhede is ver van mekaar so die privaatheid wat ons wou hê was puik.

Very peaceful, beautiful scenery.

It had been very nice and peaceful, no sense of danger or discomfort, Percy the owner and his wife Karin were very hospitable and helpful. We were also spoiled with a boat trip and a lovely day on the dam and enjoyed it immensely. The food in the restaurant was top notch, it was value for money and the location is excellent. The units are far apart so the privacy we wanted was great.

Amazing view and very relaxing, with no cellphone signal or TV. So relaxing, loved the animals.

Enjoyed the view, the animals, the quietness, the friendly hosts. They even brought us mosquito coils. Very kind and helpful. Loved the cabin, Dragon Fly. Enjoyed a quiet Christmas Day with only the sound of sheep, cows, ducks and donkeys. Will definitely go back.

Wonderlike hoëveld-klimaat, plaas-rustigheid en 'n heerlike wegbreek saam met ons hond!

'n Heerlike wegbreek in 'n tipiese rustige hoëveld-omgewing. Ons hond is met net sulke ope arms ontvang as onsself, en die eenheid, meubels, beddegoed en breekware was wonderlik skoon. 'n Heerlike ontbyt op die stoep van die restautant met ons hond rustig by ons voete en 'n uitsig ook nog! Volop plek om rond te loop bedags, en 'n perfekte Melkweg in die nag. Ons kom weer!

Wonderful highveld climate, peaceful farm atmosphere and a lovely getaway with our dog!

A lovely getaway in a peaceful highveld setting. Our dog was welcomed with open arms, just like us, and the unit, furniture, bedding and crockery was wonderfully clean. A lovely breakfast on the patio of the restaurant with our dog resting by our feet and a view to top it all off! More than enough space to stroll around during the day and the perfect Milky Way at night. We will definitely come again!

Vriendelik, ontspanne en rustig, kort egter 'n touch-up hier en daar.

Het gebly in Brown Cabin, omgewing is rustig en ontspanne. Sal egter voorstel dat die plantegroei om die dam teruggesny word om die natuurskoon meer te kan waardeer. Die cabin kan doen met 'n touch-up om klein goedjies reg te kry soos los vloerteëls en die skuifdeur wat van sy spoor af spring.

Friendly, relaxing and peaceful. Just needs some touch up here and there.

Stayed in Brown Cabin. The area is peaceful and relaxing. I would suggest they trim the vegetation around the dam so that one can appreciate the natural beauty more. Some touch ups to the cabin could include fixing the loose floor tiles and the sliding door that slips off its hinges.
