River View Cottage is ideally located, in the middle of the Klein Karoo mountains, close to a river where it is possible to swim and to canoe. Views are fantastic. The cottage is tastefully decorated and the appliances are of great quality. The host is very friendly and offers good service.

It was extremely hot when we were there. But that could easily be solved by staying in and on the water!

We loved our stay at River Cottages, it was quiet and secluded with great views and amazing walks. Bronwyn and Colin were very welcoming and we would definitely go back for a longer stay next time!

"Tolles Wochenendhaus"

9.0

Das Haus ist super gelegen, traumhafte Aussicht. Toller Sternenhimmel nachts. Der Fußweg zum Fluss beträgt keine 5 min, dort kann man schwimmen gehen. Sehr nette Besitzerin. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

- Leider hatten wir kein Internet, das konnte man bei Booking so nicht erkennen. - Es wurde am Samstag in der Nähe lautstark mit Maschinen gearbeitet, das hat gelärmt.

A place to relax and watch nature go by. The river is amazing for a swim and to cool down. We hope to come back to this wonderful spot soon again.

Beautiful landscape

Poor air circulation, especially in the bedroom and bathroom. Minimalist furnishings in the kitchen, particularly cutlery and plates.
