101 guests' feedbackVery peaceful and spotlessly clean. Would not recommend for people with children, there is nothing for children to do. A pair of climbing frames will make a big difference.
House was neat, everything you need was there. Comfortable and everything clean. It is peaceful and quiet, a nice place to rest and appreciate nature.
Our stay was amazing, quiet place and staff extremely friendly and caring.
Yes, very nice stay.
We had a wonderful time and absolutely loved the cabin. The staff was supportive, warm towards guests and helpful when needed. The cabin was private, quiet and we felt safe at all times.
Very clean and tidy!
Very nice, everything was there that is needed for a nice and peaceful stay.
Quiet and nice atmosphere.
I will definitely recommend River Rock Lodge to a friend. We had a very pleasant stay. It is a very quiet place. The staff goes out of their way to assist where necessary (even in the rain). I love the personal touch; it really is a little gem.
Had a great stay, just look at your bathroom door.
Had a lovely stay. Beautiful and peaceful.
Very pleasant. Will definitely return.
Beautiful place will definitely stay there again.
Very nice stay.
Very nice place and will visit again.
I really enjoyed the tranquility and surroundings. The accommodation was satisfactory and comfortable. The staff were particularly friendly and helpful.
The lodge is in a peaceful setting in nature, but close to all amenities. Although it was winter, the cabin was toasty hot. The staff are friendly and any problems are addressed immediately. Regular communication was sent before and upon arrival, which was very helpful.
Had a wonderful stay. This is our 2nd visit and definitely not the last.
Disappointed in accommodation.
Stayed for three nights at River Rock Lodge and my stay was everything I wanted it to be. A patio, a comfortable and nicely decorated chalet, so comfortable and the peacefulness was superb. Denise is wonderful, she checked in with me but was not intrusive. A truly beautiful spot for my midweek break.
Middle of winter and freezing cold, but beautifully situated by the river. The log cabin was warm and cozy with all the amenities we needed. The staff were very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make us feel at home. It's a shame we only stayed one night, would have enjoyed staying there for a few days.
Place was very neat and very friendly service, can recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day.
The house is clean and tidy and beautiful decor. Quiet and a very clean environment to walk around in.
It feels like you are in the forest with all the bird life in trees and by the river.
Customer service is fantastic, the place is very peaceful, units are neat and create a romantic atmosphere. Thank you very much for your hospitality!
Thank you very much for the lovely weekend, we enjoyed it very much and the service is very good.
Nice and quiet and very beautiful. Would go again anytime. Everything was clean and even with load shedding, they supplied us with solar power.
It's a nice couple's getaway. Very friendly. Really gives that bush atmosphere and the bird life is amazing.
Very beautiful and peaceful. We enjoyed our weekend away so much.
Although it rained a lot and the water pushed up the river badly up to the pool and lapa, we had a great time. We were kept up to date with the events around the rising river. Our safety has always been a priority with the management. It is a very nice, clean place with everything you need. Will definitely recommend the place to future guests.
Beautiful place. Our dog children could go along. Will go again.
The staff received us very friendly and helpful. The chalets were exactly as shown in the photos and very tidy. We will definitely visit River Rock again.
See stars.
We were warmly welcomed and all correspondence was answered quickly. Megan and her team are great! Peaceful getaway in the woods, lovely bird sounds! Unfortunately the river did not flow, such a sound when the wind blows wrong. Everything you need in a log cabin and the air conditioning is a winner! Thanks for the cheese plate and crackers treat in the fridge! Pool was a bonus too! Thank you very much for a wonderful weekend away!
My wife and I visited River Rock Lodge. What an incredible experience. From the booking until we were back at our home. Friendly staff, clean, tidy houses. Thank you to everyone involved, you will see us again soon and I will definitely be telling other people about your wonderful place.
No, not at all what I expected.
Was a wedding present to my brother and his wife. They didn't want to come home. Enjoyed themselves. Thank you very much River Rock Lodge you deserve the highest of the highest 5 stars of excellence.
The most relaxing break we have ever had. We would definitely recommend the lovely place.
Can definitely recommend!
Everything very neat and ready for our visit.
Nice place to relax.
We had the loveliest overnight stay here and wished we could have stayed for longer. This friendly family run little resort is excellent value for money, and they went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable and happy. We have already recommended it to friends and family.
Ladies at reception was very friendly and welcoming. We did enjoy our stay at River Rock Lodge.
Had a great time, just got a bit cold.
Thank you very much for the good service. We had a wonderful time relaxing in the silence a little away from the city.
Die eenheid was baie mooi netjies en het alles gehad wat nodig is vir 'n rustige en gemaklike wegbreek. Die span is vriendelik en doen baie moeite vir gaste. Sal graag weer River Rock Lodge besoek.
It is an amazing place and so peaceful. Very good service.
We had a great rest, tranquil place and the was extra special to have my dogs enjoy the break with us.
Secluded unit, designed with great attention to detail.
Great location. Choose one of the cabins right on the river. Very scenic. Lovely to sit on the deck and watch the water go by.
We were there and aside during the week. Didn't want to be bothered, nobody bothered us. The steel olive tree decoration above the bed must be drilled in at the bottom, bothersome if you sit up in bed.
Will definitely be back again.
River Rock Lodge - braai a bit far from the room.
Reception very efficient and friendly. Overall, very good service. Environment and gardens well cared for, could quietly take in nature's sounds.
Very friendly reception. Rooms were spacious and well equipped. Beautiful lapa and pool overlooking the Vaal River. We will definitely come back.
Excellent hostess. She and Meghan went out of their way to make us feel welcome and make sure everything was 100%. Bird watcher's paradise.
River Rock was just the place to getaway and relax. It is absolutely beautiful and well decorated. It was home away from home. We will definitely be back!
Beautifully furnished! Lovely surroundings, peaceful and tranquil. The owner was so friendly and helpful. Will be back.
The unit was cleaned every day.
What a lovely experience and friendly service.
We had such a good time! Thank you very, very much. Our room was clean, equipped with everything needed, good mattress and a good shower. We will definitely stay here again and recommend.
Lovely little venue with great personal service.
Had a wonderful weekend staying at the River Rock Guest House.
Excellent location, service and hospitality.
Meghan gave us a warm welcome when we arrived. Enjoyed sitting by the river and watching the birds, also swimming. A wonderful place to get away to relax away from busy city life. Will definitely go again.
Excellent place to stay for peaceful relaxation. Paris is conveniently close.
Very neat place, well equipped.
We experienced on our first night there that the bed was no longer ready, and also that the pool was dirty. The staff bought a new bed to replace the old one and the pool was also cleaned the same day. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Our hostess went above and beyond to make us feel at home.
We stayed in the 3 houses next to the reception. Beautiful places and very clean. Had a great time. The flies are a bit bad though.
While the accommodation was adequate it lacked any personal touches that would make us want to return. A bottle of drinking water would be a nice gesture, as water in Parys is sketchy. You can see the owners went to expense kitting they place out but it was a bit of an awkward spot. It would be more practical to replace the extra sofa with a small table and chairs, or even a coffee table would be helpful. The bathroom has no space for anything, sink is small so a shelf would help considerably. Over all place felt a bit dusty and not used for a while, understandable after a year like last year! Staff were friendly.
A place to unpack and forget about all the worries. Best rest one could ask for.
Great place, friendly service. Quiet place.
Intended for nature lovers and people seeking tranquillity. The wooden bungalows with everything made out of wood inside contribute to the special atmosphere.
Such a great place for a tranquil weekend break, in this beautiful country side venue that felt like home. The hostesses Denise and Meghan were very welcoming, the accommodation was clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back.
Had a great time staying and visiting. Very nice and tidy place. Was able to enjoy fishing as well as swimming and just relax and enjoy nature. I would definitely recommend the guest house.
Environment is very peaceful, with ospreys that just make you relax.
It was one of the best weekends ever. The tranquility was wonderful. The place is beautiful and you can see the owners have a passion for the place. Haven't come across such friendly people and excellent service in a long time. They do the little things that count. We had a great time and felt so at home. If you want to stay overnight or get away for a weekend, this is your place.
We will visit there again anytime, the people there are friendly, good service and the place is clean. Many thanks to River Rock.
See stars.
Definitely value for money!
Had a very friendly reception. If you are looking for tranquility this is the place for you. Cottages are very private and have all the amenities for a peaceful getaway.
We went as a group (and booked each separate spot, 3 units in total), as we have small children we thought the units were all together, overlooking the river (this would have made it easier at bedtime fr the children). The Bush Cottage is located at the entrance, well within walking distance of the river (but you don't have a view of the river), although you get the idea that you do look down on the river (if you look at the pictures they posted at the Bush Cottage). The Bush Cottage is very neglected compared to the units that do look out over the river (which do look beautiful), and it needs a lot of renovation (paint cap, shower head was broken and fixed when we made the owner aware of it, satellite TV worked every now and then (note satellite is not DStv), only 2 plates on the stove worked, only enough dish soap was provided for 1 day, the owner was very friendly though and ready to help anytime, would when we come back we will take one of the river front units (as we understood, unfortunately they could only accommodate 2 people).
From our arrival we felt welcome. The place is beautiful. The owners are friendly. We were spoiled with delicious hot muffins on Saturday! I can recommend this place with a good heart.
Would definitely stay there again for a weekend. Clean, neat and peaceful.
The Olive Tree wooden cabin was extremely comfortable and in the lovely surrounding of the river, trees, ducks, horses and even the sound of fish eagles. Far enough and yet close enough to the town centre. Above all was the very warm welcome and assistance received from our hosts. Will definitely stay there again on my next visit to Parys.
Very nice place will go again and again, people have been very good and treated wonderfully.
The place is very beautiful and peaceful. Truly value for money. We stayed in Bush Cottage and it was very neat. The boma was great for visiting and the river was a short walk away. Reception was friendly. Definitely recommend.
We were received so hospitably. From the time we got there to the time we left. It's a great getaway for the weekend to just rest and recharge your batteries. Our place was perfect and Denise and Meghan are wonderful hostesses.
It was very nice and incredibly peaceful along the river.
Nice and clean place. Bathrooms could do with some upgrading. Bed sleep a bit uncomfortable. Too few knives and plates, but otherwise no complaints. The hostess was particularly friendly and we were spoiled with delicious muffins! Would definitely recommend!
We were received at the gate by the owner, Denise. Warm, sociable people - felt right at home. We have booked 5 units among our family from grandmothers and grandfathers through to our young family of 5 with children between 2 and 7 years of age. Everything was clean and tidy and the units are fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a weekend getaway. We were able to fish and relax at the lapa, with a beautiful view of the tributary of the Vaal River. We were spoiled with delicious freshly baked muffins until Saturday morning. We really had a wonderful time together as a family here. Only negative point was a sharp, bad smell, near the water's edge. Not sure if it was the hyacinths or a landfill that was nearby.
Beautiful location with a focus on the scenery. Living area very well equipped, neat and comfortable. Very friendly and helpful service that makes you feel welcome right away.
They really went the extra mile in terms of communication and directions, and it really impressed me. The accommodation was comfortable and good value for money. They did warn us in advance not to drink the water but to bring drinking water (which applies to Parys in general). The river was also affected which in turn meant we didn't really go down to the water.
We had a very nice stay. Denise was very friendly and hospitable upon our arrival. The unit is very clean and tidy and we will definitely come and rest again. Thank you very much, Denise!
Beautiful unit right next to the Vaal River and the bonus was that the entire accommodation area was ours. Was nice and exclusive, just what we city bums needed to rest and take in nature. Thank you Denise for your hospitality. We will definitely visit the place again, soon!
The house was right on the Vaal River, with a beautiful view and the sound of the running water and a lot of birds, including a Cape sea eagle or 2! The braai areas are big and cosy where you can sit and chat until late. The house is well equipped inside and very stylish.
Beautiful place, nice decor, very peaceful.
People have been very hospitable!
We were kindly received. The chalet was very nice, clean and tidy. The area is green and so quiet with the river flowing past. We can definitely recommend it.
