Was okay for a short stay. The filter coffee machine was a bonus. Luckily we had our own nut coffee. They only had kits.

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.

Wonderful, everyone rested wonderfully and visited together.
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.

Translate to English.
Only 20% of their rooms represent the published photos. So partially misleading advertisement.
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.

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!
