57 guests' feedbackAmazing stay and great hosts. Loved the quietness and fishing. Lovely place. We will be back.
Brilliant place, friendly, peaceful. Definitely coming back.
This is a place to recommend. We only stayed one night, but everything you need is there. The indoor fireplace in winter is excellent.
Peaceful setting, very quiet.
Very nice place. WiFi in the units would be nice. Other very nice place.
We had a very pleasant stay. It was quiet and peaceful. The kids enjoyed cycling and exploring the area.
We had such a good stay. It is a bit far out of Dullstroom, but that allowed us to fully unwind and get a proper rest! Our fur baby loved it more than us, with space to run around and dams to cool off a bit.
A peaceful and serene farm cabin stay. The cabin is even better than the photos.
We had a fantastic time with the family over the Father's Day long weekend. The owners were incredibly helpful, the scenery and silence were amazing. The lodge was very clean with a well equipped kitchen, the electric blankets on the beds were a great surprise and for sure a good investment for the cold months. It was perhaps a bit far from Dullstroom, but the silence and scenery were worth it. Our dogs and children were no problem for the other visitors and even the neighbours' dog came to stay with us over the weekend (our barbecue meat was probably tastier!).
It was nice and clean.
We had a very nice stay. No road noise, cell phones, TV and traffic. We put our cell phones down, woke up to nature's life and for once played a board game or two, laughed and cooked together. This is exactly what we needed.
Very very nice. Plenty of crockery so you can eat twice without turning on the dishwasher.
Great place, terrible road to get from Dullstroom to the accommodation.
We had a very nice stay. The dirt road on the way to sun is difficult and dangerous and very long. No luck fishing. No fishing activity seen. Drains are blocked in the bath and the shower water takes a long time to drain.
Unfortunately the farm is very hard to get to unless one has a 4x4 or a high clearance vehicle. We were warned about the road but never thought it would be as bad as it was.
Had a good time and caught fish. Enjoyed a lot. Very nice visit and relax, owners super friendly. Road to Tonteldoos stony, but from Tonteldoos to Riverman very beautiful. Very nice ponds to catch. We will visit again.
Very quiet and peaceful especially without TV. The dirt road is very rough - worse than we expected.
It was nice to be able to break away from the city. We had a very nice stay there.
We enjoyed our stay, especially the fireplace.
A small unit, but sufficient for a weekend. Quiet environment. Road is a bit bad to get there but is part of the journey. Drive slowly and take about 30 - 45 minutes from Dullstroom.
Cute farm. Ideal for recharging your batteries. Linda and Gavin are very friendly and helpful hosts.
Lovely place in beautiful nature.
Traversing the gravel roads to Riverman Cabin and then to Dullstroom was a bit of a challenge even in a high clearance 4x4 vehicle and consequently, we were unable to savour the beautiful views.
The Road to the lodge is very bad in the rainy season it's very muddy and dangerous.
The time there was very peaceful.
Linda and Gary make you feel immediately at home upon arrival. Accommodation is clean and tidy. Riverman Cabin is well located in a wooded area. Also the ponds for catching trout and bass are accessible to people who have difficulty walking. Highly recommended. Thank you very much for the wonderful stay. Will use it again.
We would like to go back again and again, but the access route (which is not the owners fault) to it from Dullstroom is in really bad shape. To say that the road is bad is very relative and when one experiences it first hand even with a normal pickup, you wonder how much damage the sedans sustain during the 1 hour long 22 km dirt road. We would like to refer future visitors because the lovely experience at the accommodation facility but would definitely say that they must have a 4x4. It's a shame that such a wonderful event has been canceled by the local government and municipal issues regarding the road maintenance, be ranked.
A very good break from the stressful life. Would highly recommend the place. The dirt road is only quite bad after a good rain.
Beautiful place far away from the noise of the city. The dirt road is quite rough and very muddy as it rained all weekend. Definitely need a 4x4. Was a nice getaway chance for me and my husband. Enjoyed it a lot.
See stars.
The accommodation is practically equipped and very comfortable. The road there is only quite far from Dullstroom because it is also a difficult dirt road. But precisely because of this also safe. If you have a 4x4 vehicle and like a quiet, peaceful environment and are not bothered about luxury accommodation, then this is a great place. Would definitely recommend if you want to get away from the crazy city rush.
The road to Riverman Cabin is very bad but with the right vehicle it is not a problem. There is wifi but only at the restaurant. The advantage is that one can rest really well. The people are very friendly and the few days we were there we rested as if we had been there for 2 weeks. If you have the right vehicle, it's a great option to get away from it all. The cottages are well equipped. There is everything that is needed. There is a gas stove, so if Eskom is a problem, one can still cook! It is a truly wonderful environment.
There is a short but beautiful Wattle walk where the dogs and my children were free to roam. They enjoyed the scenery, the donkeys, hot chocolate on the huge rocks behind the cabin and marshmallows at the fireplace on colder evenings. The children had a blast riding their bicycles on the off-road track. We were not affected that much by load shedding, as there was a gas geyser, stove and oven. The dirt road should rather be negotiated with a 4x4 type vehicle.
We and our 3 dachshunds really enjoyed the scenery and rest (Not that my 3 month old puppy likes peace, the old ones do) The service and accommodation and food were top notch. If you want to treat yourself a little, go and enjoy it, even if it's just to rest!
Riverman Cabin gives nature a different meaning, your soul rests with nature's sounds, beauty and then of course the kindness.
Although the unit is very tidy, the view breathtaking and the surroundings peaceful and quiet, we found the equipment of the unit basic. A more modern shower head, hand soap, loose rugs for the cold cement floor and accessories such as a wine opener (borrowed from our neighbor) and a TV oven would add significantly to the value and comfort. Nevertheless, our experience was pleasant.
We were received very kindly and the stay was exactly what we expected. We discovered after 9 the first night that the unit had no hot water. Corrected immediately by the owner and the next morning the water was hot. Christmas dinner was excellent value for money and very pleasant atmosphere. Can recommend Riverman Cabin to someone who just wants to relax and calm down. I will not take the road to the resort with a sedan car, but unfortunately the resort owners cannot do anything about it.
I had a lovely, peaceful stay at Riverman Cabin. It was a great place to get away to from the busy city life and just recharge. The owners were fantastic, my 4 year could not stop raving about the pizza that was made for him - "the best he ever had".
Lovely fireplace for the cold.
Thank you so much for your hospitality Karin. Your farm is breathtaking ─ a paradise. We enjoyed and appreciated the sheep, geese, cows and bird life. You really have a place where one's soul can rest.
It had been very nice and peaceful, no sense of danger or discomfort, Percy the owner and his wife Karin were very hospitable and helpful. We were also spoiled with a boat trip and a lovely day on the dam and enjoyed it immensely. The food in the restaurant was top notch, it was value for money and the location is excellent. The units are far apart so the privacy we wanted was great.
Peaceful and quiet and clean.
Enjoyed the view, the animals, the quietness, the friendly hosts. They even brought us mosquito coils. Very kind and helpful. Loved the cabin, Dragon Fly. Enjoyed a quiet Christmas Day with only the sound of sheep, cows, ducks and donkeys. Will definitely go back.
Peaceful and great. The fire place is a winner in winter.
Thank you very much, it was incredibly peaceful and you could really just enjoy the time with your family.
No reception, some WiFi - real getaway!
One of the best places. Will definitely go again.
We had a fantastic stay. No complaints. Great friendly helpful staff. Lovely cabin had all we needed. Tranquil and relaxing. Even caught one trout during winter.
It was a fantastic break from the hustle and bustle of the city with very friendly service and great attractions.
Karin and her husband made us feel very welcome. We had a great time and would recommend everyone to go.
We will see the place again.
Perfect place to find yourself, the quiet is wonderful. Good service at the restaurant and it is affordable.
A lovely getaway in a peaceful highveld setting. Our dog was welcomed with open arms, just like us, and the unit, furniture, bedding and crockery was wonderfully clean. A lovely breakfast on the patio of the restaurant with our dog resting by our feet and a view to top it all off! More than enough space to stroll around during the day and the perfect Milky Way at night. We will definitely come again!
The road is in a really bad condition. I would recommend you come with a 4x4.
Stayed in Brown Cabin. The area is peaceful and relaxing. I would suggest they trim the vegetation around the dam so that one can appreciate the natural beauty more. Some touch ups to the cabin could include fixing the loose floor tiles and the sliding door that slips off its hinges.
Very nice, beautiful surroundings and very peaceful. Cottage is well equipped and tasteful. Fireplace always a winner.
Tranquil nature-silence. Friendly reception. Clean.
