32 guests' feedbackWe had a great time here, and the barbecue on the deck above the water is a winner!
My stay was very nice. Lovely view and safe location.
The checking-in and out process was seamless.
The accommodation was incredibly beautiful with a breathtaking view! It was clean and very well equipped, with a simple check-in and check-out procedure. The host was friendly and very helpful. We will definitely be back again!
We had a very nice stay. Unexpected yet highly appreciated bonuses were charcoal, blitz, matches and barbecue gloves in case one arrived without them. Then there were binoculars, bird book, toilet freshener and Peaceful Sleep which you don't easily find at similar places to stay. Not to mention the 2 wine glasses and bottle of wine and chocolates that were waiting for us upon our arrival. Then there was also a variety of books covering many subjects available for our convenience. An extremely homely atmosphere by well-educated owners who know how to go the extra mile. You can't help but look after it like your own and leave it just as neatly!
See stars.
Beautiful quaint cottage right on the water. Host was very welcoming and responsive.
We enjoyed the stay very much. It was 100% clean, with inverter, braai wood was provided and the little treats were a hit! The children really enjoyed the canoes. It's peaceful and the house is perfectly located on the water. The owner was very nice and helpful.
This bungalow is beyond amazing. The best self-catering accomodation that we have experienced in a very long time. The hosts were also amazing. Attention to all the small details that make a traveller feel special. Wood supplied, rusks provided. Beautiful chocolates as a welcome treat. The property, location, privacy and experience were beyond our expectations.
We enjoyed every moment here, the owner is so friendly and helpful! Inverter in the house so we weren't even aware of load shedding! The house is perfectly located on the water and still safe for small children. We rested so well, barbecued and enjoyed the beauty around us! We will come back again and again!
First of all, you are right on the water. It's stunning, the birdlife, scenery and then those magnificent sunsets and sunrises over the water. The facility itself was spotless, everything worked 100% and plenty of space. Basson was the perfect host. Highly recommended.
Great host. Awesome location. Inverter system was a big positive.
Nice weekend break, quiet by the water.
I left a piece of my heart there, we will definitely go back again. Best view and on the water.
We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at On the Water. Such a perfect setting, right on the water with spectacular views. The chalet is very comfortable and kitted out with everything you would need. Everything was very clean and neat. It can get hot in summer so the air conditioning in the main bedroom is a big plus. The teenage kids were also very happy with the large TV and the WiFi. There are canoes provided and it is an absolute treat to paddle up and down the stunning river. The water is warm, so swimming is also fantastic. Sunrise and sunset are spectacular and we enjoyed them while sitting on the deck. The braai area is ideal for outdoor entertaining with the best view! Basson, the host was extremely efficient and friendly. He made sure that we had everything we needed for the best stay. We also appreciated all the little extras that were left in the chalet for us to enjoy. The only slight negative was the sound of the traffic from the N2, but otherwise everything was definitely 10 out of 10. We would definitely recommend the accommodation and hope to visit again.
Very professional host.
Will definitely go back again. Was really the nicest visit yet. Very peaceful and beautiful. Definitely worth it!
Hubby and I first time visiting here. We were blown away by Basson's attention to detail. We had coffee and rusk on the deck, watching the sunrise. Beautiful birds singing and dancing entertained us. We felt comfortable and stayed cosy and warm, even though the rain came down and temperatures dropped. Truly happy to have been able to have an unforgettable 23rd anniversary stay here. I can honestly recommend their place if husband and wife need some alone time. This is a family unit and we'll be back with our boys. Thank you Basson and family. God bless.
Thanks for the wood, fire lighters, everything we needed is 100% spot on. Location great to see Wilderness. Definitely stopping by again, thanks.
We will definitely visit Wilderness again. Basson was very friendly and helpful. The house is spacious and sleeps 6 adults comfortably. It was a lovely few days and will stay longer next time. I can recommend On the Water for a group of 6 adults, parents with children and definitely parents with teenagers. There is a lot to do and when it rains there is an enormous TV with all the DStv channels. Also games for those who prefer not to use the electronic dummy.
Nice hiking trails and boat trip on the Touws River.
The location is picturesque. The cottage literally overlooks the water. The house is stylish and has absolutely every luxury. For the week we lived like kings in a little piece of paradise.
There is just enough of everything to make it easy to relax. The peace and beauty and view from the house is good for the soul and so you forget about your phone, TV and other things that steal time. Go ahead and book this place, just leave July open for me.
The unit was/is ideal just two minor maintenance matters -the upstairs shower door malfunctioned and the basin drain blocked. Also, Basson just to put out a mop & broom and scoop in case of accidental spillages and to mop water in the bathroom around the bath for instance and during rainy weather one often drags in wetness at the front door. Other than this - Basson was super helpful and the reception with the personalised biscuits and chocolates upstairs was the the proverbial cherry on the cake so in terms of reception 10/10.
Had a great stay at On the Water @ Piarates Creek 8, the place is spacious, very tidy, everything you need was there!
Basson was a great host, once my booking was confirmed, he kept in contact and provided helpful information, which continued throughout stay at "On the Water" at Pirates Creek. The location is amazing, right on the water's edge, where we canoed and swam. It was so peaceful and tranquil being so close to nature but also not far from amenities (small supermarket, lovely restaurants, chemist etc). There are also spectacular walks and hiking trails close by. The house was more than comfortable, clean and provided everything that my wife and I needed, including the use of canoes. While out on the canoe one day, I lost my expensive prescription spectacles and Basson came to the rescue, offering to salvage my specs. He dived in and found them within a few minutes and I was very grateful. Thanks Basson for your help and warm hearted nature. We are already planning our next trip.
Workers around house for 3 of days. No TV on last day. Other than that everything is very good.
Basson is the nicest most caring host. Their family holiday home that they share is beautiful, clean and truly a home from home. We had a glorious time on the water and the fact that when it's cold and you have to be inside you are catered for with a huge TV and an awesome family counter to gather around. The kids were happy and safe. The beds and bathrooms were to die for and it was so nice to be in an establishment with white linen and towels. Again home from home. Basson thank you so much for all that you did and for your amazing hospitality. We will definitely be back.
Plekkie was really neat and had everything we needed. Really enjoyed the view and canoeing. Basson was really helpful and we will definitely visit again.
Stunning location, super friendly, and accommodating it’s a must!
Basson is incredibly friendly and always ready if any help is requested. The house's location is perfect on the river and is very neat and beautiful! We had the best weekend in Wilderness. I highly recommend it.
The house is very spacious and neat with a wonderful view! Everything that you need is there. The kids kept themselves busy the whole time. Had a lovely time fishing and swimming in the river.
