42 guests' feedbackSuperb location, peaceful and relaxed. Great host. Excellently designed accommodation.
Lovely and relaxing. The kitchen is perfect, the room is comfortable. The neighbours' dogs barking ruined the quiet of the morning, but other than that, it was perfect.
Beautiful place, spacious and well maintained. Stunning view with nice deck, with everything needed for a great stay. Thank you.
Beautiful place, peaceful and safe.
The unit consists of two double bedrooms each with its own well-stocked kitchenette and bathroom. There is no communal space except for the stoep but why would you want to be anywhere else than the stoep with that beautiful view of the Boesmansrivier! The host Leon was helpful and welcoming.
We were very surprised at how beautiful and quiet, private and peaceful our stay was. Everything we like was there: nice view over the Boesmans River, privacy, silence, bird sounds from early morning until late at night, and of course stylish "cottages" that are well located, well built and stylishly furnished. A joy.
We had a great time and it was quiet and peaceful. Nice barbecue, the unit was spacious and everything needed was available.
We had a great time, very nice view and the accommodation is clean, tidy and well equipped.
Wonderful views, perfect spot.
We stayed too short. There is much in the area to experience. All the small authentic villages. Friendly, unpretentious, humble, best food, coffee, ice cream. Everyone has so much pride in what they offer.
This is a fantastic accommodation, with well-equipped, spacious and comfortable rooms with a beautiful view of the river! We are sad that we did not spend more time here.
Would definitely recommend River Cottage! We were kindly received by Leon. The view and silence is something incredible. Everything was nice, neat and clean. We really can't complain about anything. Definitely worth every penny!
Stunning view, lovely accommodation, just as is pictured on the website. Leon is a great host and thought of everything. We will be back!
Very kind and helpful host. Clean environment. Fresh air in a forest setting.

Great destination on the river. Quiet and well located.
Would recommend River Cottage to anyone. It was a lovely weekend and hospitality gets 100%.
Feel like you are on a boat just above the river. Great view. Close enough to all the sights, town and beaches. But just away from all the business and crowds to make it feel like a relaxing, recharging in nature stay. Well-equipped with everything you need to make it a great stay. Super clean. Will definitely be back again. Thank you Leon. It was great.
Perfect setting, amazing view, rooms were great.
Beautiful view from rooms and deck and everything needed in the clean rooms. I am very satisfied and Leon the owner was friendly and helpful at all times. I hope sometime in the future Leon will replace the double beds with at least a queen. It will only make the experience even better.
Beautiful view of peace and quiet over the Boesmans River.
Quality service and hospitality.
We really enjoyed the weekend. It was quiet and peaceful with beautiful scenery that spoiled us a lot. With the Ospreys and Hornbill birds that regularly made their visit it was truly breathtaking. The place to stay is very nice and safe. The footpath down to the unit is slightly uneven and may just need to be levelled. But otherwise we had a wonderful stay. The price was fair and very good value for money. Thank you very much River Cottage.
The money we paid was worth it. The host was friendly and helpful. The place is convenient for self-catering, with needed utilities and we felt safe.
Many thanks to Leon who contacted us even before we were on our way and sent us directions to the GPS location. Will stay here again!
Owner was very helpful. Rooms were self-catering, but there were so many additional things like coffee and milk and soaps that are never part of self-catering. I was very impressed and will definitely go back.
Pretty view. Would want to return!

Comfortable and peaceful. Website a true reflection of accommodation.
Leon and his wife are amazing hosts and always willing to give directions and advise of where to go and what there is to do. The cottage was immaculately clean and had everything we needed and more. We loved our stay and the river view provided endless entertainment. Just the peace and quiet we needed to escape from our busy lives. We can't wait to go back.
We were very kindly received by Leon and all our needs were met. Beautiful view over the Boesmans River. Very safe. Highly recommendable. Will definitely visit River Cottage again.
Excellent location, very private and safe. Very well-equipped accommodation with friendly and warm hosts. Neat and clean made the accommodation even easier. Highly recommended and will definitely go again.
A lovely piece of heaven on earth! The owners went the extra mile to make it an unforgettable weekend!

We had an amazing family weekend away in the most beautiful and tranquil environment. The view is outstanding. Lovely bird life too. The cottage caters for all your needs. I highly recommend this accommodation.
Perfect place for peace and quiet.
Shower floor just too slippery. Otherwise beautiful. Friendly and helpful host. Had a lot of fun.
Very quiet! Ideal overnight stop for a day or 2!
Mooiste view. Vriendelikste kliëntediens. Cottages so mooi en skoon.
What an amazing place for a getaway. Will recommend it anytime.
We would stay here again anytime. The house is very neat and the view is very beautiful. Leon was always available if we needed anything and even helped with carrying luggage. It is a lovely, peaceful environment.
River Cottage is one of the most beautiful places to stay. Quiet, peaceful, beautiful view. Would definitely recommend the place. Very neat accommodation with everything you need, fantastic beds and linen. Friendly welcome from owner. Very difficult, sloping, uneven stone footpath which is dangerous for older people and very difficult to carry luggage. No mention is made of it in advertisement and it was difficult to get to the unit with elderly parents and luggage. Signposts from the main road would also be helpful, the place is hard to find.
