Nice and quiet. Had a great time on the deck. Will stay there again.
Very nice stay in the natural beauty. Beautiful view of the river. The house is beautiful and we had a very comfortable stay. Everything was very nice. We were glad we brought our own camping chairs so we could comfortably sit outside on the deck, and then I'd also recommend bringing a can of Doom just in case there might be flies bothering us.

Nice to be alone. Thanks for charcoal. We will definitely come again - our type of place!
Completely secluded and alone. Don't see anyone. Just what we wanted. Maybe 1 liter of milk rather than little bits. Bring your own camping chairs and sit delightfully down on the terrace by the water. Thanks for the inverter, we didn't sit in the dark with load shedding!

10 out of 10 for The River Cottage.
We were received very kindly by Almie and she explained everything to us. The River Cottage is excellently equipped and very close to the river. The inverter was a bonus and we weren't even aware of load shedding. Everything in the cottage is of high quality, very clean and very tidy. We really enjoyed the weekend and would definitely like to go back again.

We were lucky to have mixed weather, sunshine, cool evenings and lovely rain on Sunday morning. With the rain, we were still able to make a delicious brunch at a great braai area. Maybe a ceiling fan in the rooms? Will definitely come again.

Unbelievable stay, it took our breath away.
We have stayed at many guesthouses over the past few years, and this is the one that stands out. Incredible location, and decorated like I would do my own house. We did not need anything. The extras we requested were there, and even what was not expected was provided. It's a pity we're staying so far away, otherwise we'd have been back there soonest.

Everything is in place, a great place to shut down and just relax.
We absolutely enjoyed River Lodge, lots of fishing and great rest. Everything you need is there and if not, Hanelie immediately brings it to you. We forgot bread and Hanelie immediately brought us a nice warm bread. We had such a good time that we stayed an extra day. Many thanks to Chris, Hanelie and Dewald for your hospitality, you are real people. I can really recommend the River Lodge and would visit again myself.

A welcome skin outside Potchefstroom.
This was our family's 2nd visit to The River Cottage. On a farm, next to the Vaal River, no people and only 30 minutes outside Potchefstroom. The place is well equipped with all the fine details that one does not expect with self care. Dewald is a host who pays attention to detail. We will be back again and prefer this place to anywhere in Potchefstroom. You can walk, fish or just relax on the deck by the river with a beautiful sunrise and variety of bird sounds.

Six people stay and visit very comfortably. Thank you Dewald for a pleasant Easter weekend.
The River Cottage is a very pleasant holiday accommodation. It is sensibly planned with a beautiful view of the river. Pity there is no electric/gas oven in the cottage; the microwave oven and barbecue outside helped a lot luckily. Very relaxing with great service! Once the planned improvements are completed, the place will only be better. Will definitely stay there again in a week or so.
