86 guests' feedbackGreat, thank you very much!
Clean, tidy and slept very well.
We had a very nice stay. The room was neat and clean. We will definitely visit again.
Reception, service and helpfulness were first class. Extra effort made for special diet is greatly appreciated. Would go again anytime and recommend anytime.
Would definitely recommend it to friends.
They accommodated us a lot to let us check in at 12h00, due to our function which started @ 15h00, and we already had to drive at 13h30 because the dirt road is very bad and I came from Pretoria in the morning. However, the reservation was a B&B that included a continental breakfast, but that did not materialize. Upon enquiry, the lady informed me that their accommodation no longer included breakfast.
We requested earlier access to the river as my husband wanted to do some fly-fishing. Sarita was very accommodating and allowed the use of the property before the 2 pm check-in time. The website booking clearly stated that our booking included breakfast and that is why we made the booking at a 5-star venue, however on check-in, Sarita stated that breakfast was not included. I do believe that the rates should be reduced and the amenities updated as this is clearly false advertising/misrepresentation of the services offered.
Devondale needs to be upgraded.
Wida was so accommodating and helpful. We will come back for a longer period in the future. Devondale is a gem.
We were received very kindly and the manager went out of her way to answer all our questions and meet all our needs. Will definitely stay there again.
No further comment.
Wida went out of her way to make everything special for us in detail for our wedding anniversary.
The room is opposite the kitchen so it is very noisy. The guest house does not provide for load shedding, so when the power is off, there is no power or light in the room. This is very poor for a guest house. There was no air conditioner in the room. The location of the house is nice, but the room and service are not up to standard.
The host was an absolute gem. Very attentive, friendly and helpful. The staff were very friendly and warm. Everything was 100% perfect. Will definitely visit again. Loved the sounds of the river in the background. Superb. Parys is definitely a beautiful town.
Excellent service and accommodation. Everything was very well organized and also received excellent service from LekkeSlaap.
Wida of Devondale really goes out of her way to make one as comfortable and convenient as possible. The garden is like a paradise and you can peacefully sit by the river and read a book or just relax. If you want to get out of the city, Devondale is definitely for you.
We had a great time and were treated to breakfast in the beautiful garden. Can definitely recommend the Artlovers Restaurant - had a great dinner there. Will definitely want to stay longer next time.
We had a fantastic stay; the guest house is very centrally located - close to golf courses and day-hiking trails in the Vredefort Dome - and set in beautiful surroundings, right on the river. Our room was very spacious and clean and the bar fridge well stocked. Staff were attentive and helpful. The highlight was the couples massage and picnic outside on the banks of the river, under the trees with the birds singing in the background and the water cobbling over the rapids. Pure bliss - highly recommended.
We had a very nice stay. The view is exceptional and the breakfast was top notch.
Had a great stay and staff very friendly and helpful.
This guesthouse is in such a wonderful location, right next to the river and in between horses. I found the room and bathroom absolutely luxurious and there was nice coffee in the room. The hostess makes you feel very welcome and the house is just wonderful. Whether you want to sit on the stoep and work or at the table in the room, Devondale gets my vote every time.
We wanted to visit Parys on our trip from Cape Town to Klaserie and Devondale Guesthouse seemed like a good stopover. The guesthouse is beautiful and the setting on the banks of the Vaal is lovely. The host was away but her friend was there to welcome us and so we were well looked after. Unfortunately we had a long drive the next morning so were unable to enjoy a hot breakfast but there were cereals and other breakfast items in the fridge for us to enjoy before we left.
Wida gave us a warm welcome, you can't go wrong with Devondale. Thank you for a great experience.
Great setting and relaxing stopover close to Parys and on the Vaal River.
The Devondale staff are super friendly and accommodating. We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed the fish foot spa treatment. Definitely going back!
We took a 2 day break to celebrate our anniversary. Wida made us feel at home and spoiled us with breakfast. We rested so well. Thank you very much for that.
The honeymoon suite is neat and modern. A lot of detail is given to decor. The early morning massages outside under the trees by the river were a highlight.
Perfect for a romantic getaway! Highly recommendable! The moment you drive through Devondale's gates you immediately feel at home. The horses you drive past and the big spacious lawn in the driveway are so welcoming. Devondale is a beautiful guest house with its spacious rooms and welcoming hostess Wida is exceptional. You immediately feel at home. We broke away for our wedding anniversary. Upon arrival, Wida informed us that she had upgraded us to the honeymoon suite at no extra cost. The room was exceptional and tasteful. You could hear and see the river outside your room. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
We felt very welcome, the people were friendly and our room was very nice. We had everything we needed and it's probably not far from Paris' main street. We enjoyed going to see the horses and sat a lot by the river. It's a nice place to get away and get some fresh air.
Friendly reception, check-in process nimble and fast. The room was lovely and the surroundings quiet with lovely beautiful gardens to relax in. Will definitely use them again.
Our second visit to Devondale. It was the first place the children wanted to go when lockdown began to lift for guest houses. Great frolicking in the pool and the tranquility of the river and trees was just what we needed.
Truly beautiful place. All the luxuries you could wish for. So tranquil.
Friendly reception and nice spacious, clean room and bathroom.
I booked this venue as it is advertised as a bed and breakfast. Upon arrival we were told that they no longer serve a full breakfast but a continental breakfast. I felt a little cheated as the continental breakfast consisted of a laughing cow cheese wedge, muesli, a very small bowl of grapes and a liqui fruit. There was no breakfast continental or other served to us at a separate fining area.
Very friendly reception. Room was beautiful, neat and convenient. The view is beautiful.
Beautiful guesthouse!
Friendly customer service. Would definitely recommend Devondale.
My wife and I were there with friends and I also booked a room for the friends for the evening. We were pleasantly surprised with the friendly service and tidy rooms and house and garden. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Paris or nearby.
During the discussion, I brought it to Wida's attention that it was our wedding anniversary and I wanted to treat my wife to a special breakfast in the garden. It was promised and on this promise I made the reservation and paid in full, but never realized, only cold breakfast in the small fridge. We just had to go and have breakfast in town.
See stars.
Would just like them to make rails at their stairs for cripples. I struggled to get up the stairs. That's really all I can recommend.
Devondale is a small paradise. The scenery along the banks of the Vaal is breathtaking. Definitely the place for nature lovers who want to get away from the mundane routine. Here you can relax. The hostess is friendly and the rooms are clean. I would definitely recommend it.
See stars.
The beautiful residence is surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and grass terraces that run down to the bank of the Vaal River and silence surrounds you everywhere. The rooms are beautiful, clean, and comfortable, beautiful to the eye. Wida, our hostess, was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely use the accommodation again if we have to spend the night in Paris.
Devondale Guest House is a unique and beautifully maintained place, with spacious rooms and nature view. We had a wonderful rest and relaxation as well as enjoying the natural beauty along the river. Absolutely recommended, a peaceful and quiet place which is also very close to the town of Paris.
We stayed wonderfully, most beautiful place, few steps from the river. Friendly reception and very clean and tidy room. Beautiful decor!
Remember to ask for the hot breakfast option in the garde, it's to die for.
Had a very good stay in a very well located, well hosted and beautiful facility. Will visit again.
The place is the most beautiful in its location. Very neat and very good service. The owners made sure to walk the extra mile to make our experience wonderful.
The grounds are extremely well maintained, the rooms nice, comfortable, with all your needs considered and met. If you didn't want to walk around the town so much, I could just get lost in the gardens and on the banks of the Vaal with love.
Enjoyed our stay, Very tranquil. Enjoyed the sound of the river as it flowed over the stones. Very beautiful venue that I would definitely visit again when in Parys.
Beautiful neat, clean and tastefully furnished guest house on the banks of the peaceful Vaal River. Wida, the spontaneous hostess made us feel right at home. Enjoy a delicious breakfast. Had a great sleep. Staff are all very friendly. Everything is there that one might need. Even held a picnic on the lawn next to the river. Definitely want to go there again.
Devonvale is a very pleasant and comfortable guest house. The rooms were very well appointed. Wida, the hostess, welcomed us very kindly.
We spent our 30th Anniversary weekend at Devondale and it was most memorable. The room was neat and clean with attention to detail. The setting is picturesque and serene. We would recommend this venue to anyone wishing to recharge their batteries, relax and unwind. We will definitely be going back in the near future.
Devondale was fantastic! So neat and clean with the most beautiful view of the river. Wida is very helpful. Would recommend it for sure.
I think we were all surprised at the lovely rooms and beautiful gardens. I think you need to decide beforehand whether you just want a bed and shower, or whether you want to relax in luxury next to the Vaal River. This place is definitely number 2. Otherwise you could stay for cheaper in town to enjoy Parys as destination. On a different note, they need a bit more milk in the fridge and perhaps a few slices of bread and toaster for breakfast in the breakfast room. But otherwise it was very memorable. Lovely location just a few km outside Parys.
Our time at Devondale was fantastic. It is the most beautiful place and Wida is very friendly and helpful. We would stay there again anytime. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
Beautiful facilities at this neat guest house on the banks of the river. Friendly and helpful hostess.
We had an amazing stay and were pampered! The river and garden are beautiful, ideal for a lovely picnic. We will definitely stay there again and recommend it to others!
Nicer place, will stay there again.
It was nice on the banks of the Vaal River. We both enjoyed our stay.
The area was beautiful and peaceful. The rooms are stylish and clean. We stayed overnight from Nampo and it was definitely worth it.
It is very beautiful there. It was really very relaxing by the river. The whole way it is advertised is just misleading. With B&B I expect decent breakfast and not just a bowl of yogurt with a case in the fridge. R1200 for 2 persons is quite expensive for what we got.
Would stay there again anytime and recommend to friends. Thanks for the time there.
Thanks so much for your hospitality and effort Wida. We got some great rest and the lovely nature and river creates a peaceful atmosphere. We will definitely be back.
We had a wonderful stay, the room was beautiful and we were spoiled with food and minibar in the room. Very good value for money!
The area is pretty, the room was beautiful and serviced daily.
We will definitely visit again.
Devondale is incredibly beautiful and peaceful. The owner is very friendly and provides excellent service. We got so much more than we expected and were very sad when we had to leave. Will definitely go back and definitely recommend to other people.
Great! Must Visit! Very friendly people.
Great weekend, will definitely be going back. Wida was a lovely host, along with her beautiful dogs.
Our time at Devonvale was amazing. Wida was friendly, helpful, very welcoming and we immediately felt at home. The guesthouse is stunning, clean and neat. Love the furniture. It was peaceful with stunning scenery and sunsets. We will definitely go stay there again.
Good quality and romantic view on the vaal River. Good quality service and extra treats to make it special.
Very friendly reception. Room was clean and prepared. They went through extra trouble for me to store my bicycle. Thank you!
Everyone was friendly and helpful, everything was stylish and neat. Can't wait to go again.
A guest house worthy of its stars. Wida is a wonderful hostess. Everything was perfect, from the beautiful view to the wonderful mattress.
Luxurious, peaceful and romantic!
Although the accommodation was very clean and tidy, you feel as if you are intruding on the household.
We would definitely recommend this fantastic accommodation and will stay there again!
Excellent guest house with the best view! Very friendly reception. Peaceful stay just outside Paris. Can definitely recommend it!
Neat, clean and I can highly recommend this accommodation! Well done, Wieda.
The guesthouse is right on the riverbanks and we were able to fly-fish. The swimming pool that overlooks the river was a welcome addition. The room was stylishly furnished and very neat. Breakfast was delicious. Last but not least, the very friendly host. She immediately made us feel comfortable. Would recommend this guesthouse to anyone who is looking for luxurious comfort.
We were very impressed with our accommodation at Devondale Guesthouse. The room was new, neat and very stylish. The grounds are spacious, clean and the location is close to the river, bringing calm and ideal if you just want to rest and relax for a weekend. The service was also excellent and very friendly. I will definitely book there again and recommend them to friends.
