The best place so far on the website.
From the beginning we received excellent service from the website as well as Megan at The River Siding. The rondavel is incredibly well equipped with enough braai wood, fire lighters, nut coffee, plunger, Doom, hot water bags, heater and fan, entire box of milk, large containers full of coffee, tea, sugar etc. There are braai bowls, braai tongs, braai grill and everything one would need in the kitchen and more. It was for sure one of the most comfortable places to stay we have ever been. The atmosphere is also top class with the peaceful sound of the river, nice fireplace and beautiful wildlife. We will definitely go to The River Siding again.

Very quiet and lots of wildlife.
The room was very clean with everything you need! I gathered things that were not needed that the place provides such as a barbecue grill, wood, coffee, sugar. The pond where you can fish is about two kilometers from the cottage, very private and no one bothers you when you fish. There is also a section where you can swim in the river if you just walk about 50 meters. It was very nice!

Get away from city life, be sure to make a note of River Siding, Cottage 2. Absolutely unbelievably tidy, everything and more you could need! The location is beautiful! Surrounded by mountains and the cottage is hidden among trees and scenery! We were pleasantly surprised with our Easter buns and Easter eggs in the kitchen ─ attention to the finer detail. Enough wood was already provided! Milk, coffee sugar, salt and pepper were also provided! We walked for hours among the fruit orchards and along the river! Couldn't take enough pictures! Our dog-kids enjoyed it so much! Plenty of play space and very private! We are already checking the calendar to make our next reservation! The foreman, Kevin came to drop off the keys and was very friendly and helpful! Megan, thank you for all your help during the reservation of our unit, and for answering all my questions before we arrived! Look at the stars, 10/10!

It was one of the best breakaway sessions we've ever experienced.
Riverside is quiet and calm, all you hear is crickets. The cottages are far from other people so you are by no means heard or seen by others, and are therefore completely private. The area is very nice, with nice weather and a calm atmosphere. There is a nice braai and swimming pool and a river just a stone's throw away. The surrounding area has wine farms and restaurants and is close to Ceres if you want to go out the day. But to spend the whole day at the rondavel is just as nice as you can light a fire and lie in the pool. What is also very helpful is that Wi-Fi is free if the children want to watch a movie at night. We really enjoyed it and were really rested after our time there. And we will definitely go back in the future. Thank you so much for a nice stay. It was worth every penny.

Not good value for money.
In winter, the toilet at The River Siding can be quite unpleasant for old people who have to get up at night because you basically have to walk around outside. We tour often and therefore I can compare: more modern chalets with en suite facilities, air conditioning and TV, next to e.g. the N7, is almost R300 cheaper. I think The River Siding is not good value for money.

Beautiful surroundings. Ideal for 2 people with pets.
Directions to location leave much to be desired. Very quiet and peaceful, until hordes of people arrived across the river and played loud music until about 1am the next morning. Sleeping place was unwanted for 4 people. Not nice to share 1 bedroom with a third person. Fourth berth/bed had to be put up and made up in the kitchen/dining room/living room area and not enough living area left. Front door locking mechanism not ideal and impossible to go out to the bathroom without noise during the night. Bath had no plug available.

The customer service was very friendly and good but the accommodation was disappointing. Shower was very dirty and slimy. Kitchen equipment was dirty.
