Hello Elwin.
We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay. Winter in the valley offers a very special experience. Summer is totally different, hope we get to welcome you again then.

Thrilled you were happy!
Thanks for the review. We also love that there isn't a TV. It forces you to watch nature instead, and just slow down. Til next time! Kind regards, Candice

Safe and well equipped. Beautiful views.
Beautiful and well equipped unit with a very helpful owner. The view is beautiful and we never felt unsafe. We had two days of a heat wave and it was very hot in the bedrooms.

Hi Gavin.
Thanks for taking the time to write the review.
The light switch was reported broken by the next guest, and the electrician went in the same day to fix it. It's always super handy if we are informed about items that break, so that we have a chance to fix them. The ladies clean during daylight hours, so they don't always need to use every light switch, and it can be missed.
The shower head washer was replaced after we saw this review here. Thanks for mentioning it was dripping. Please feel free to mention this type of feedback during your stay or direct it to the host after the stay.
The braai flap has a catch which keeps it in place, which we are always happy to explain if people aren't familiar with exterior braais and the catches that hold up the closing door. It stops it from staying in an open position when not in use.
The outside fan works on one setting, yes. The replacement switch we have used shows settings, but it is used for on/off only.
The braai dish is a smart Woolworths steel roaster which doesn't come with a lid, but we have added a traditional Hart braai bak for those who specifically want a 2-piece/braai bak with a lid. We didn't realise it was a necessity.
The travertine shower tiles are a poor choice for long-term aesthetics, and we will re-tile them this year, but fortunately, they are scrubbed by hand every time and have no mould.
With such a large kitchen, the ladies do use both drawer sets and the various cupboards to space things out, to allow guests space to pack their groceries and non-perishables as makes sense for them. But we apologise that the two parts of the Nutribullet were in different cupboards, creating trouble for you. Guests are welcome to orientate themselves to all storage spaces in the kitchen upon arrival; there is no space that is prohibited for access.
Wishing you the best, till next time!
Kind regards, Candice

Great weekend getaway at the perfect place. Will come back again!
Riverstone House is the perfect place for a weekend getaway or even longer. Arriving at the house on a rainy and cold Friday afternoon, we were pleasantly surprised with the spaciousness of the house and all the high quality facilities and appliances. The high ceiling with 'exposed beams' gives a feeling of openness and freedom. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless with new bedding and all. The kitchen is the star of the show. Right in the middle of the house with all the cooking facilities and appliances you need. Double ice and freezer are fantastic. The outside porch overlooking the river is breathtaking and peaceful for the soul. We brought three dogs with us for the weekend and they were in dog heaven. The property is not completely fenced (just a small area next to the house) but for well trained and obedient dogs it will not be a problem to explore and stay close to the house. As a family, we played for 30 seconds next to the indoor wood stove and still had a nice barbecue at a sheltered outdoor barbecue.

Many thanks for your lovely review. We will definitely pass your comments across to the owners, thank you.
Hopefully your next visit is not during our worst winter since the 1960s, as has been reported.

Ideal getaway from the city.
Our break at Riverstone House was a short but very enjoyable one. Wonderful location on the river, a very beautiful, stylish and well appointed house with a fantastic porch/living area. Despite the winter weather, the house was well heated with all the options between electric blankets, heaters and fireplace. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights there.

Neat, but short on attention.
It's a cute place, neat, nice surroundings, but a lot of repair work is needed because water damage and it detracts a bit from the experience. Bedding was cozy and view fantastic!

We stayed in Riverstone's Fam Tin and it was lovely, my second time.
I am impressed every time with how well equipped the place is. I would only suggest hanging a mirror in the double bed room above the power plug next to the clothes rail for drying hair.

Classy in nature.
From the beginning, communication between me and Candice was excellent. The cottage is on a farm somewhere and the directions were very precise how to get there. The cottage took my breath away. The most beautiful place I've ever been! The absolute tranquility and the view of the mountains in front of you is breathtaking. This is where you switch off and let your soul rest. The day we left home we decided we would come again next year.
