Beautiful and peaceful getaway.

We loved the farm environment whilst being completely private. The view of the mountains is spectacular!

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

Absolutely beautiful house, huge bedrooms and bathrooms. Quiet and tranquil.

Lovely big spacious house beautifully decorated, felt really warm and cosy with lots of little extras like books and games. Quiet and tranquil setting with lots of bird life. The fenced side was an added bonus for the dogs.

Lovely location.

Wonderful location. Quality of goods was superb. Two recommendations: 1. A/C much needed. I understand summertime, but as soon as you open up the house for a breeze, then the flies take over. I know the flies are not due to uncleanliness but nature, so no fault of the owners. 2. A wipe down "lappie" to wipe tables, etc. Other than that, great.

Veilig en goed toegerus. Pragtige uitsigte.

Pragtige en goed toegeruste eenheid met 'n baie hulpvaardige eienaar. Uitsig is pragtig en ons het nooit onveilig gevoel nie. Ons het twee dae van 'n hittegolf gehad en dit was baie warm in die slaapkamers.

Very pleasant, plenty of space, the view of the river is non-existent.

The light switch in the one bathroom is faulty and eventually stopped working. The shower in the same bathroom doesn't stop dripping. The lid of the braai needs attention; it's difficult to get the flap down. Check for mould in both bathroom showers. The outside fan on the verandah has a few settings from low to high, and it only worked on the highest setting. The lid of the braai dish couldn't be found. The one part that goes with the NutriBullet was in a cupboard far from where the NutriBullet was, so again we thought it was missing and only found it by chance. Kitchen items were scattered around, and it made it difficult to find things. It appears that the owners very seldom do an inspection of the property to make sure everything is working as it should.

The Riverstone House 's response

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

Heerlike naweek wegbreek by die perfekte plek. Sal weer terugkom!

Riverstone House is die perfekte plek vir 'n naweek wegbreek of selfs langer. Met ons aankoms by die huis op 'n reënerige en koue Vrydagmiddag was ons aangenaam verras met die ruimte van die huis en al die hoë kwaliteit fasiliteite en toestelle. Die hoë plafon met 'exposed beams' gee 'n gevoel van oopte en vryheid. Die kamers en badkamers was silwerskoon met nuwe beddegoed en al. Die kombuis is die ster van die vertoning. Reg in die middel van die huis met al die kookgeriewe en toestelle wat jy nodig het. Dubbel ys en vrieskas is fantasties. Die buite stoep wat uitkyk op die rivier is asemrowend en rustig vir die siel. Ons het drie honde saamgebring vir die naweek en hulle was in hondehemel. Die eiendom is nie heeltemal omhein nie (net 'n klein area langs die huis) maar vir goed opgeleide en gehoorsame honde sal dit nie 'n probleem wees om te verken en naby die huis te bly nie. Ons het as gesin heerlik 30 seconds gespeel langs die binnenshuise houtstoof en nog steeds lekker gebraai by 'n beskutte buitebraai.

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.

This is a beautiful house, well equipped with everything one could need. I would recommend some lamps for reading in the evenings. I found the manager very responsive to our needs.

Peace with a view.

Well-appointed kitchen/lounge. Relaxing. Super view. Great dam for swimming. Fans are great in warding off any mozzies. Showers are excellent and a great fit for tall people like myself. Alas, the beds were not. Extra long beds and I would have given you 5 stars all round.

Ideale wegbreek uit die stad.

Ons wegbreek by Riverstone House was 'n kort maar baie genotvolle een. Wonderlike ligging op die rivier, 'n baie mooi, stylvolle en goed ingerigte huis met 'n fantastiese stoep/leefarea. Ten spyte van die winter weer was die huis goed verwarm met al die opsies tussen elektriese komberse, verwarmers en kaggel. Ons het ons 2 nagte daar terdeë geniet.

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.

Netjies, maar kort aandag.

Dit is 'n oulike plek, netjies, mooi omgewing, maar daar is heelwat herstelwerk nodig a.g.v. waterskade en dit doen bietjie afbreuk aan die ervaring. Beddegoed was snoesig en uitsig fantasties!

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!

Ons het in Riverstone's Fam Tin gebly en dit was heerlik, my tweede keer.

Ek is elke keer beïndruk met hoe goed die plek toegerus is. Ek sou net voorstel dat 'n spieël gehang word in die kamer met dubbelbed bokant die kragprop langs die klerereling vir hare droogmaak.

Deftig in die natuur.

Van die begin af was kommunikasie uitstekend tussen my en Candice. Die huisie is op 'n plaas êrens en die aanwysings was baie presies hoe om daar te kom. Die huisie het my asem weggeslaan. Dié mooiste plekkie waar ek nog ooit was! Die absolute rustigheid en die uitsig van die berge voor jou is asemrowend. Dis hier waar mens afskakel en jou siel laat rus. Die dag toe ons die huis verlaat het ons klaar besluit ons kom volgende jaar weer.

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.
