102 guests' feedbackVery comfortable accommodation.
Very nice close to everything, nice clean and tidy.
Very nice stay and reception was very hospitable and helpful. Will definitely stay there again.
We overnighted there for the second time in 2 weeks. Everything was what we expected. The room was spotless and had everything that is needed for a comfortable stay. We enjoyed the little restaurant on site surrounded by animals and birds. We appreciated the cold beer in an "ice cold" mug on a hot day after a long trip, and the food and service were also very good.
Very nice stay at River Chalets Mariental.
Had a great time. Farm atmosphere ensures a peaceful stay. Nice also at the restaurant. Friendly people.
Very well equipped, perfect for a stopover. Not sure there's enough to do for a longer stay. But then we arrived and left in the dark.
Very nice stay. Everything was clean and tidy. The farm animals were a wonderful pastime for the children. Nice play area.
Was very well helped by security because my friend and I didn't get there until 00:30 at night. Also received information from the host all the time after I let them know they were stopped at Grenspos. Very good service. Only problem was that I asked for 2 beds because it was 2 men, and then it was a King size bed.
We had a really nice stay. Everything was neat and clean. Provision is made for mosquitoes. The traffic didn't even bother. Will spend the night there.
Friendly person at reception, makes one feel welcome. Very nice camping spots. Would stay there again any time. Padstal food very delicious.
Fantastic accommodation at a dirt cheap price! Perfect for an overnight stop on the way to Henties Bay's fishing waters or Etosha's watering holes. Can't recommend enough!
Ideally located. Lovely accommodation. Very friendly welcome. Quiet environment. Well rested for the road ahead.
We really enjoyed it. It was definitely worth spending the night there. Would have loved to stay longer. The grandchildren enjoyed their time together with all the animals. We were kindly received and the staff were very friendly.
We really enjoyed our stay.
Beautiful place in nature, safe and quiet. We slept great.
Very nice stay with a nice restaurant.
Excellent. The aircon and lovely restaurant on our doorstep was such a happy extra. My only point of not 100% satisfaction was that my tent zip did not work. In the end, it did not actually matter, but at the time I wondered if something will crawl in.
New chalets are fantastically beautiful and luxurious. WiFi, aircon, friendly staff from the gate, reception to your chalet!
Excellent service, super clean and tidy apartment. No problems during check-in or check-out time.
We enjoyed our stay in the (farm) environment.
Nice campsite for a quick overnight stop on the way to SA. Had a private bathroom which was nice. It was nice to see all the animals they keep. Younger kids will enjoy it.
This is a must for overnight stays on the long roads of Namibia. The cottage was fully equipped for self-catering. The sleeping facilities were brilliant with an incredible mattress for a great night's rest. The bathroom and shower were spacious and sparkling clean. The on-site restaurant makes it convenient so you don't have to look for a place to eat. Both the staff of the resort and the restaurant were friendly and helpful.
Comfortable accommodation with good location. Friendly reception. Unit well equipped and the restaurant's food is delicious.
It is very peaceful and beautiful.
Very neat and clean. Everything you need. All that was missing was a washcloth and tongs to move braai wood.
It was very pleasant to stay with them.
Very neat place. We had a great time swimming and they are very nice to provide swimming towels and shower towels. Beds are nice and comfortable and there is an aircon in the tent which was very convenient in the hot Mariental. Bed linen and shower towels could be a little more 'fresh' and clean/smelling. It appeared as if it had been standing a bit too long. But everything else was great! We were received very kindly when we checked in and throughout our stay the staff were very friendly. Would definitely highly recommend!
Very nice stay. There is everything you need. Just remember there are a lot of flies.
Great host and reception. Restaurant absolutely a winner with fantastic food. Very friendly staff.
Nice place to sleep with lots of animals and friendly people.
Nice and comfortable place to unwind after a long day's travel. Sufficient and convenient facilities with three places to eat and two petrol stations right next to the B1.
Fantastic. We really enjoyed everything.
Yes, it was a good experience.
Yep, we had a great camp at Rivers Chalets. Nice and quiet with own ambition.
We had a great time and the nature was also breathtaking.
Lots of flies, toilet wouldn't flush properly and 'neighbours' were very noisy!
It was a very good place to sleep on Mariental.
Very nice stay. This was our 3rd visit.
The camping with private ablutions had a lot of space with a nice big stand. The chalets were very nice for a sleepover.
Little sleep. Trucks make noise right by the chalets.
I have only the highest praise for River Chalets. Got sick in the night and from the security (Deon) to the general manager stepped in, called the ambulance and got me to the hospital. I am forever grateful to them.
Our stay was very nice. The swimming pool was refreshing and the paddock is well stocked with very tasty pizzas. Watched the World Cup final with other guests and visitors and it was an experience. Service consistently excellent.
Neat, clean and safe with friendly service.
Comfortable and clean accommodation and overnight accommodation. The fact that there is a paddock on site is of course a bonus. It was also nice to see all the animals that are kept on the premises.
Beautiful private pitch with own bathroom and braai facilities. Friendly staff as well as the owner personally came to say hello to see if everything was alright.
The place met our expectation.
Convenient, neat, safe.
River Chalets has always welcomed us very kindly. Maintenance is first class and there have been quite a few new changes as well. Everything we need on one site. We and the children really enjoyed the animals.
See stars.
Place was neat, spotless and the air conditioning was awesome. Delicious restaurant on site with very friendly management and staff.
The premises were clean and well-kept. The chalet was clean on the inside and had everything we needed. The little restaurant on the side had amazing animals for the little ones to pet.
We always enjoy it here. The houses are neat. Nice beds. Value for money.
From check-in to check-out, everyone was friendly and our visit and accommodation was neat and clean.
We had a great overnight stay.
Well situated and very secure. Neat and clean.
Place is very neat and well located, clean and very friendly people.
The accommodation is very well located with a restaurant on site. The unit had braai facilities which was a bonus. The WiFi was very weak and made the work a bit difficult. Otherwise definitely recommended for a stop to stay or just have something to eat at the restaurant.
Very pleasant stay. Clean, tidy and safe.
Reception was off the books, lovely stay.
The grounds layout, with the different animals, as well as the restaurant, is a one-stop shop for overnight dining and just walking around.
Private campsite was good value for money.
Stayed on 2 occasions. On the last occasion we had to book an extra day. The owner made an effort to accommodate us. Accommodation was very neat in the peaceful resort, which made our stay that much more pleasant.
Good and comfortable overnight stop.
When we checked in our reservation was not on their books. The manager was very helpful and gave us another room.
The padstal had awesome pizza, nice petting zoo n fun play area for kids. Very exciting for kids. On arrival we were refunded N$160 becuase the we were booked in on lekker slaap as 6 adults instead of 4 adults 1× 3 years old n 1x under 1 year. There was zoom provided but we would have prefere there not to be cockroaches or spiders. The baby couldnt sleep and kept scrathing and itching so we did not have good nights rest. There was also no hot water available during our stay. I had to shower my 7 month old baby in cold water. We did report the cold water to reception but n didnt return as promised. We had fun at the play area and the pool.
We enjoyed it very much.
Had second time a overnight stay at river chalet. Well organized, clean, comfortable, affordable - just everything a traveller wishes. And a nice farmstall with frienly restaurant at the front dor. What do You want more?
Ideal situated, very good organised and friendly helpful people. The perfect stay for the traveller!
We really enjoyed the paddock and eatery with the small zoo. The kids can't wait to go there again. The chalet was spacious and well equipped.
Cute, comfortable and well-equipped overnight accommodation with personal welcome and good service. Location is just next to Padlangs paddock for delicious food with Mini Zoo to add to more than we expected.
Accommodation very central and easily accessible.
Very nice meal at the restaurant. Animals there give peaceful farm experience. Everyone friendly.
Nice farm atmosphere.
Campsite and room were very neat and comfortable for our purposes. Friendly reception and very cute paddock. Ideal accommodation and child-friendly with all the animals!
Nice place to stay, nice room and bathroom.
Wow, where do you start? Friendly paddock staff explain where to sign up! Our hostess welcomes us outside on her porch! We park our van in the cool! Everything we need is on the campsite and inside the tent! Also a sink outside by the seat. Also another air conditioner inside the tent! Ablution facilities are nearby and super spacious! Well done!
I was really surprised at how beautiful it was and how nice it was to stay there.
The animals with the cute restaurant were very cute.
We stayed one night at the River Chalets Mariental on our way to Henties Bay from Cape Town. The tent accommodation was excellent and comfortable. At the gate of the accommodation there is a restaurant that makes ice-cold Tafel beers and very tasty food, feel free to try them.
Everything was simply perfect - the accommodation, the surroundings, neat and clean, everything we wanted. Chalet no. 11 was all. Thank you very much.
Had a wonderful stay. Will come again.
Would definitely stay there again and also recommend.
Our unit had everything we needed, plus a great shower.
The reason for the four stars is that I asked for a three-bed chalet and got two chalets instead. One double bed and one with three beds. By the time we were in our rooms, I was too tired to argue about that and left it that but it cost me R550 extra. Otherwise, the hospitality was wonderful. The rooms clean and the restaurant up to par where we could relax, enjoy a good meal and enjoy the friendly service. . The overnight stay was restful and secure. Will definitely check in again. This time, just making sure about the beds.
River Chalets is located just outside Mariental. It is convenient and easily accessible. Very nice staff.
Lovely venue for family with small children - They'll enjoy the petting zoo.
Chalet was neat and clean and we had a good rest.
Reception was very friendly and everything was well explained. Had a great meal in the onsite restaurant. Tent was very comfortable and bathrooms were neat and clean.
Cute place, but lorries are noisy in the evenings.
Wonderfully peaceful and relaxing before we continue on our way.
A friendly welcome, everything you need, clean and neat.
Brigitte was very helpful and accommodating during our planning as dates changed, staff was helpful and friendly and overall we will recommend and stay there again camping or chalets. Thank you very much.
The unit was comfortable and resort beautiful. We really enjoy the farm animals.
Beautiful, well maintained, very clean. Staff is friendly, warm and helpful. The facility is spacious and uncluttered, units are well spaced out. There are a large variety of fowl and some horses as well as a few buck freely roaming, which is delightful. So if you have a high drive dog it needs to be kept on leash. There is also a small petting zoo with an amazing variety of animals and a small restaurant in walking distance that serves fresh and tasty food at very reasonable prices. The only drawback (which is at the same time a bonus if you had a long day on the road) is that it is right next to the B1, so if you are a light sleeper the night traffic can be a bother.
Made a nice fire. Good overnight stop on the way to Henties.
Especially suitable for people with children.
River Chalets in Mariental is one of the places that does not cause problems. Ask others for help and all the answers are there and help is immediately available. The owner is calm and full of advice.
The people made a lot of effort to give us a braai area with crockery to braai, because our room didn't include it.
