52 guests' feedbackRoom was clean and smelled fresh. The property is well situated, with only the sound of birds and the river flowing in the morning. Absolutely perfect.
The host was the best, she was welcoming and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.
The stay was definitely worth every moment. From the moment I arrived, I realized that the photos on the website are not just a pretty show, but an accurate reflection of reality. The hospitality and care of the staff was remarkable, and I immediately felt a sense of comfort and home. The atmosphere is incredibly peaceful, and I found true peace for my soul while staying there. It is an oasis of calm amidst the everyday hustle and bustle. The room itself was not only comfortable, but also stylishly furnished, which made my stay even more pleasant. I was able to truly escape the hustle and bustle of life and enjoy a well-deserved break. The setting lends itself to a sense of peace and restoration, and I enjoyed every moment of it. I can confidently recommend this place to stay for any traveler looking for an exceptional experience.
Amazing hospitality. The room we stayed in had everything that we needed. Yvette was super awesome. She just forgot to send up the list of restaurants, but it really isn’t a big deal. We spent our time by the poolside until sunset, and it’s just what we needed. The property was clean, scenic, and really stunning. No complaints at all. Will definitely go back.
Quiet and everything in its place! It was very nice, thank you.
Beautiful place with the most beautiful view. So many extra details that make it extra special.
Yvette, the hostess, is incredibly helpful and friendly. Five star service.
Peace and quiet is exactly what it says. Yvette received us so kindly and her knowledge about the town and in general is incredible. The place is very elegantly furnished and super clean. Thank you, Yvette.
The owner was very kind, the place is beautiful and the room itself was very clean and beautiful. Definitely going back there to stay longer.
Had a great stay. Service great and room very nice and comfortable.
The owner and accommodation are a great recommendation.
The room and the view are beautiful.
Very quiet and peaceful place. Was able to completely relax, enjoy the sun and pool. Room very neat and everything in its place, as well as the service when you go to town, everything is clean and tidy when you come back. Would really recommend as top class accommodation. Nice coffee and biscuits to munch on in the room to your heart's content.
We will definitely visit Rus & Vrede on Vaal again. Everything was incredibly good and a nice experience. Can definitely recommend.
We were able to stop and enjoy the peace and quiet of this little paradise. Excellent accommodation and support; and on top of that we can recommend the delicious rusk! Will definitely want to visit again.
Everything was perfect, luxurious and neat. Yvette received us kindly and was very helpful. Would definitely recommend it. It would be nice if they could think of braai facilities along the river in the future.
Luxurious accommodation with a feeling of privacy. Absolutely beautiful surroundings with lovely river views, situated very close to Parys with many shopping and dining options. Perfectly clean and very well equipped room with generous provisions, including more than what was expected. Yvette was a very warm and friendly hostess. Thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful infinity pool overlooking the river. Highly recommended.
We were warmly received by Yvette. Beautiful room with lovely view of the river. We were able to really relax and will visit again.
My wife and I squeezed time over a weekend for our 2nd wedding anniversary to just get away for some peace and quiet. The hostess Yvette was very pleasant, made us feel at home immediately and explained everything we needed to know in advance, she was also easily available via WhatsApp for reservations at restaurants and advice. The room was very well furnished and we couldn't ask for more, everything was above expectations. We haven't slept so well in a long time and got what we wanted - peace and quiet. Thank you very much Yvette.
We had a lovely stay for the long weekend at Rus en Vrede on Vaal. The place is beautiful with the most beautiful view and excellent facilities. It is also located nice and close to the town. Yvette went to great lengths to make sure we enjoyed the break and made us feel at home. Thank you for the wonderful stay. We will definitely come again!
Will definitely go again was very beautiful and delicious!
Thank you Yvette for an unforgettable few days! Your hospitality and effort was excellent! We enjoyed it very much. Will definitely go back again!
Very well received and felt at home from day one. The extra little things and things make it so much more enjoyable.
Rest and peace is the right name for a wonderful rest and peace weekend. Stylish guesthouse, warm welcome and great service. Ten out of ten for Rest and Peace!
Very nice accommodation with a picture-perfect view. Room was spacious and contained everything one needs and more. Very centrally located and close to everything. Great accommodation with lots of privacy, would recommend anyone to stay here.
Our room (Willow) was beautiful and neat with a stunning view over the river. It was also nice and quiet. Yvette is a wonderful host, very friendly, approachable en helpful. Excellent service. Will definitively recommend Rust&Vrede to others.
We arrived tired and drove away refreshed after an encounter between us, hospitality, and splendor.
What an incredibly beautiful place! The hospitality, helpfulness and the incredibly beautiful, peace and quiet of this place is just indescribable. Just finished planning our next visit to rest and peace.
The service was excellent, the host put a lot of effort into making our evening special. There was plenty of coffee available with lots of delicious biscuits and muesli, and there was just enough of a personal touch to meet our needs and to make the stay as special as possible.
Luxurious room, beautiful view and very friendly owners who go out of your way to provide an unforgetable memory.
We had a beautiful, "Rus en Vrede" time at this stunning venue. We had one of the upper-level rooms and had a 180 degree view of the river, with amazing sunsets right in front of us. If you love nature, silence and tranquility, this is for you. Our hostess, Yvette, made our dinner reservations for us at one of the local restaurants and for breakfast we simply enjoyed a hearty Nespresso coffee, "sinful" rusks, muesli and yogurt - all provided (included in the price). Rooms are serviced and stocked daily. We went kayaking and relaxed with a book and a drink in the shade of the Willow tree on the riverbank. The petite town of Parys is only a stone throw away for antique shopping and gourmet dining. Thank you, Yvette, for helping us make special memories. We will definitely visit again.
At Rus en Vrede on Vaal, the extra mile is walked. Thank you very much and will definitely see you again soon.
We decided to get out of the city for a weekend and booked Rus & Vrede through Lekkeslaap. It exceeded our expectations! The rooms are luxurious, modern and spacious and beautifully decorated. The attention to detail was something special. Yvette really went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed and more! The view over the river is incredibly beautiful and the sunset is a must. I would definitely recommend Rus & Vrede without a doubt to anyone looking for stylish, modern and scenic accommodation!
Everything was perfect and the people very hospitable. The room was excellent. Would go back any day and recommend to other people.
I booked a surprise weekend away for my boyfriend's 50th birthday at Rus n Vrede where we had the opportunity to experience Parys too. Rus n Vrede was everything I expected, private, peaceful with an awesome view. I was contacted the day before by Yvette explaining what to expect in our room and asked what time to expect us. She also took the interest to ask if we were coming for any special occasion and offered to make dinner reservations for us. On arrival we were warmly welcomed by Yvette and shown to our room. Our room was really stunning, superbly maintained with an upmarket feel and finishes. I would definitely recommend Rus n Vrede to any couple who would like to get away together to enjoy each others company in a tranquil environment. Thank you Yvette!
Wonderful hospitality with luxurious, stylish accommodation.
Enjoyed the stay. Yvette is a lovey hostess. She kept us up to date of the possible floods. She even booked a place for us at a restaurant in Parys for dinner. Thank you, Yvette.
See grading.
The name says it all: Rus & Vrede is the best weekend getaway destination for anyone in Gauteng, especially if you're planning something special. Yvette is like your personal concierge and made our stay in Parys noticeably better by sharing her knowledge and contacts with us.
Rus & Vrede on Vaal is a luxury guesthouse on the banks of the peaceful Vaal river just outside Parys in the Free State and just more than an hour from Joburg. Rus & Vrede is next to the luxurious Vaal de Gráce Golf Estate. The guesthouse is tastefully furnished with exclusive décor and design to create a warm and homely atmosphere with beautiful views over the Vaal river and the gholf estate. The rooms are spacious and equipped with extra length king size of queen size beds with luxurious percale linen and all the necessary amenities. Each of the rooms create a peaceful atmosphere that helps one enjoy the peaceful and relaxing getaway. Rus & Vrede allowed me to spend some quality time with my life partner. Rus & Vrede was passionately driven to ensure that we would never forget our stay there. Rus & Vrede guarantees beautiful sunsets and incredible views.
Effortless, neat, beautiful and can even catch up on some sleep for the next day.
I will return to Rus en Vrede on Vaal every time I stay overnight in the area. Rest and Peace is great in every way.
Very neat and clean and well located place on the water. Calm atmosphere and modern decor make it a must. The 18th hole of Vaal de Grace on the opposite side of the shore is a constant reminder to bring your golf clubs. Thanks for the effort and professional approach!
Yvette Coetzee and Hettie are incredibly good hostesses. They really went the extra mile to accommodate us and gave more than the price included. Delicious fish caught, and served as if in a 7-star hotel. The location is fantastic and the cleanliness amazed me.
My wife and I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary at Rus en Vrede. We arrived there just before sunset and were kindly received by Yvette with sparkling wine and set out in an area where we could have a picnic and watch the sun go down. Our room was very neat and the location by the Vaal river fantastically beautiful. Yvette was very hospitable and made an effort to fulfill all our wishes. We would not consider anywhere else if we were in Paris again and would highly recommend Rus en Vrede.
We recommend this guest house with the utmost confidence. The reception was cordial, but professional. Yvette even made an effort to make reservations for us for dinner at one of the restaurants. Rooms are beautiful and very neat, as well as the rest of the guest house. A lot of attention is paid to detail here. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Gert Vlok Nel said: "River, river you're the deepest word I know." and it's so true. The deepest, the most beautiful, the longest, the winding, the brightest, the most reflective, the most peaceful. Rest and peace. A balm for the soul. Where love is cherished again. Where enormous fish jubilantly jump out of the water. Where Bella stares pensively. Thank you Yvette!
Yvette was fantastic from the start. She sent a friendly reminder message and offered to reserve a table for us for dinner at one of the restaurants in town. She had the room nicely ready when we arrived, the air conditioning was on as well as the lights etc. After a lovely night's rest on the most comfortable bed, we woke up to the most beautiful view of the Vaal River, golf course and mountains. A wonderful reminder of the beautiful country we live in.
5 star acommodation with friendly host whom made a great recommendation for restaurants.
One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The cleanliness and careful provision of amenities and little treats made it a special experience. The view of the river was refreshing. Will definitely make a visit there again.
The owners are hospitable perfectionists and the kind of people we like to interact with.
I recommend Rus & Vrede on Vaal to anyone. We got engaged with them and thanks to the friendly help and professional service the evening was a great success. Thank you Yvette for your wonderful, hard work and effort.
