Awesome.

Miemie en Jan is ongelooflik vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het sommer dadelik dit gevoel. Sal definitief weer hier bly. Was net een en daar, maar was great. Wagter, Tiger en Trompie is die vriendelikste en liefdevolste honde.

Ek sal dit aanbeveel vir jong reisigers wat nie omgee om in 'n dorm te bly nie.

Was oukei vir 'n kort oorslaap. Die filterkoffiemasjien was 'n bonus. Gelukkig het ons ons eie moerkoffie gehad. Hulle het net kits gehad.

Ons het Riverstay as 'n oornagstop gebruik na en van 'n roudiens. Dit het aan ons verwagtinge voldoen.

Ons was baie vriendelik deur personeel (en honde) ontvang. Omdat ons weens omstandighede die aanvanklike besprekingsdatum moes skuif, moes ons in 'n ander kamer as wat oorspronklik bespreek was, oorbly. Dit was te verstane en vir ons aanvaarbaar. Bestuur het uit hul pad gegegaan om dit vir ons moontlik te maak om RWC eidstyd te kyk. Die afwerking in die kamers is ongekunsteld (rustic) maar dit was skoon en netjies. Dit pas by die omgewing en was nie steurend nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

We used Riverstay as an overnight stop to and from a bereavement service. It met our expectations.

We were received very kindly by staff (and dogs). Because we had to move the initial booking date due to circumstances, we had to stay in a different room than originally booked. This was understandable and acceptable to us. Management went out of their way to make it possible for us to watch RWC at Eid time. The finish in the rooms is rustic but it was clean and tidy. It fits the environment and was not distracting.

Heerlik, almal het heerlik gerus en saam gekuier.

Die plek is ongelooflik netjies en skoon. Die eienaars is vriendelik en baie gasvry. Hulle het veral uit hulle pad gegaan om die tyd vir ons 2-jarige so aangenaam moontlik te maak. Ons sal beslis die plek by ons vriende en familie aanbeveel. Die ligging is ook perfek, net ver genoeg van die dorp vir rus en vrede, tog naby genoeg vir vinnig iets gaan koop. Baie dankie nogmaals vir almal betrokke by die plek.

The place is incredibly neat and clean. The owners are friendly and very hospitable. They especially went out of their way to make the time as pleasant as possible for our 2-year-old. We will definitely recommend the place to our friends and family. The location is also perfect, just far enough from town for peace and quiet, yet close enough for a quick shopping trip. Many thanks again to everyone involved in the place.

Rustige oorslaap.

Ons is hartlik ontvang. Die plekkie is baie oulik en goed toegerus. Linne en handdoeke was skoon en vars. Alles was skoon en netjies, behalwe vir die mikrogolfoond waarin iemand kerrie warm gemaak het en twee bakkies waarin die kerrie bedien was wat ook nie skoon was nie.

Net 20% van hulle kamers verteenwoordig die gepubliseerde foto's. Dus gedeeltelik misleidende advertensie.

The good: Die eienaars se vriendelike ontvangs. The bad: Die mederheid kamers is sub-standaard en hoort in 'n ander kategorie, bv. bikers, etc. Die advertensie verteenwoordig alleenlik 2 van die 8 kamers. Die advertensie is misleidend. The ugly: die kamer het geen vensters nie, alleenlik skuifdeure, wat ek nie wil ooplos vir vars lug gedurende Eskom se loadshedding en dus spinnekoppe, skerpioene en slange inlok nie. Die eiendom is reg teen die Valsrivier met ryg vegetasie en baie goggas.

The good: The owners' friendly welcome. The bad: The majority of rooms are sub-standard and belong in another category, e.g. bikers, etc. The advertisement only represents 2 of the 8 rooms. The ad is misleading. The ugly: the room has no windows, only sliding doors, which I don't want to leave open for fresh air during Eskom's loadshedding and thus attract spiders, scorpions and snakes. The property is right on the False River with thick vegetation and lots of bugs.

Sielerus en vreedsaam!

Eerstens is die mense baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het 'n sleepwaentjie getrek en kon nie in die dorp parkeer nie. Die eienaar se seun het vir ons ys en hout van die dorp af saamgebring, wat ons baie waardeer het. Die plekkie waar mens visvang is bietjie baie ongelyk en kan verbeter word. Dit sal ook lekker wees as daar 'n lig onder die afdak aangebring word. Die blyplekkie is baie skoon en gerieflik en ons het baie lekker gebly. Ons het die honde baie geniet asook die tarentale en hoenders. Sal die plek enige tyd aanbeveel vir die wat rus en vrede soek. Die plek het ons batterye weer herlaai. Baie dankie weereens vir julle gas vryheid!

Calm and peaceful!

First of all, the people are very friendly and helpful. We were pulling a trailer and couldn't park in town. The owner's son brought us ice and wood from the town, which we really appreciated. The fishing spot is a bit uneven and could be improved. It would also be nice if a light was installed under the canopy. The accommodation is very clean and comfortable and we had a very nice stay. We really enjoyed the dogs as well as the guinea fowl and chickens. Would recommend the place anytime for those looking for peace and quiet. The place recharged our batteries again. Thank you very much again for your guest freedom!

Ons kon vroeër inboek wat ons wonderlik gepas het. Rhyno het ons baie gul ontvang, saam met die vriendelike honde.

Ons het n kode vir die hek gekry wat die laatnag inkom baie vergemaklik het na n heerlike familie troue. Sal beslis aanbeveel.

We were able to check in earlier which suited us wonderfully. Rhyno received us very generously, along with the friendly dogs.

Adequate for an overnight stopover.

We felt a bit uncomfortable as we were clearly not expected, and did not feel free to relax and enjoy our time e.g. the family was using the pool, so we felt like intruders.
