Location perfect. Prestinely kept. Wild and free in nature. Not many people around

The bed room was too cold with me heating option in the bedroom of the stone cottage, the fireplace in the lounge was however the best enjoyable feature in the lounge, everything else was beautiful

The house is located just a few minutes out of town with large pond just behind the property which we could swim in. It felt very safe with the owner being very helpful.

The house is very nice and on the basic side which we liked but others may be looking for something more developed. Also the owners house is right next door. So it's not the most private property. But they were very lovely and welcoming so again we didn't mind.

The location in the Mount. Magical. The flora variety was lovely. Neighbouring estate has two zebra and an ostrich. Lovely walk with mountain view. Really great location.

The decor of River Stone house is desperately in need of an upgrade with the guest in mind. Outside area was not comfortable at all. Frustrating to be in the Mount but have it hidden from view by tall trees. A little trim of the row of trees blocking the mountain view would make this the ideal mountain retreat in Franschhoek.
