44 guests' feedbackLovely place. Neat, nicely furnished and ideally located next to the river. Friendly owner. We would definitely like to come and stay here again.
We had a lovely weekend, and had a lovely stay. The house is clean and tidy and has everything you need. We were received kindly and immediately felt at home. Perfect place if you are looking for silence.
If you want to relax in nature with comfort.
Completely secluded and alone. Don't see anyone. Just what we wanted. Maybe 1 liter of milk rather than little bits. Bring your own camping chairs and sit delightfully down on the terrace by the water. Thanks for the inverter, we didn't sit in the dark with load shedding!
We were received very kindly by Almie and she explained everything to us. The River Cottage is excellently equipped and very close to the river. The inverter was a bonus and we weren't even aware of load shedding. Everything in the cottage is of high quality, very clean and very tidy. We really enjoyed the weekend and would definitely like to go back again.
Very nice stay in the natural beauty. Beautiful view of the river. The house is beautiful and we had a very comfortable stay. Everything was very nice. We were glad we brought our own camping chairs so we could comfortably sit outside on the deck, and then I'd also recommend bringing a can of Doom just in case there might be flies bothering us.
It is a quiet, tranquil destination. You will find peace for your soul here. Thanking the owners for a wonderful stay and sharing their beautiful cottage. We can recommend The River Cottage.
We really enjoyed the weekend. The River Cottage has everything you need to unwind. The unit is spacious and tidy. Would like to come again with family or friends.
Clean, nice environment. Quiet farm atmosphere.
Would definitely recommend The River Cottage.
Comfortable house with all self-catering luxuries. Beautiful braai area. River was in flood, so could not come to terrace to catch nice fish. Still a very special experience in nature.
Very nice stay and can recommend the accommodation. Also a good option for a family or couple of friends to get away and visit the river.
Peaceful, clean, spacious, luxurious, well equipped, and has a beautiful view from the deck. We absolutely recommend River Cottage and will be back soon for our third visit.
Everything one needs to relax is there.
From the friendly welcome to the complete peace, serenity (except for our shouting during the Rugby World Cup!) and privacy, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing your very special piece of the world with us.
Me and my husband's first getaway after my two-year-old son! So glad we chose The River Cottage! Nature is so on one's doorstep, with squirrels, owls and otters coming to visit. The hosts are amazing people and made our stay so special. Thank you!
It was winter, but they made sure that there were enough heaters and blankets. Can't wait to visit in summer, it should be a paradise when everything is green.
It was a great experience to live along the river, to have animals on your porch and experience such a place. The place was unbelievably well equipped and neat. Thank you very much for an unbelievable time and that we could use your space.
Very cool house next to the river. Spacious rooms and for the hot days you can use the splash pool and air-con. Huge outside braai area overlooking the river.
We were lucky to have mixed weather, sunshine, cool evenings and lovely rain on Sunday morning. With the rain, we were still able to make a delicious brunch at a great braai area. Maybe a ceiling fan in the rooms? Will definitely come again.
We have stayed at many guesthouses over the past few years, and this is the one that stands out. Incredible location, and decorated like I would do my own house. We did not need anything. The extras we requested were there, and even what was not expected was provided. It's a pity we're staying so far away, otherwise we'd have been back there soonest.
Money cannot buy the silence and peace and quiet you experience there. One feels completely rested after resting here for a few days. It is the best way to get away from the big city noise and hustle. I love the place.
We absolutely enjoyed River Lodge, lots of fishing and great rest. Everything you need is there and if not, Hanelie immediately brings it to you. We forgot bread and Hanelie immediately brought us a nice warm bread. We had such a good time that we stayed an extra day. Many thanks to Chris, Hanelie and Dewald for your hospitality, you are real people. I can really recommend the River Lodge and would visit again myself.
Lovely, tranquil place with beautiful scenery. The house is very well-equipped and everything that you need is at your disposal. Dewald is an unbelievable host.
Reception was friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed it and the kids enjoyed fishing. Got some great rest. Will definitely be back.
This was our family's 2nd visit to The River Cottage. On a farm, next to the Vaal River, no people and only 30 minutes outside Potchefstroom. The place is well equipped with all the fine details that one does not expect with self care. Dewald is a host who pays attention to detail. We will be back again and prefer this place to anywhere in Potchefstroom. You can walk, fish or just relax on the deck by the river with a beautiful sunrise and variety of bird sounds.
We had such a great stay. The house is well equipped and located on the river bank. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends.
We were received very kindly. The place is beautiful. So quiet and peaceful and so close to the water. The Cottage is beautifully decorated inside and there is everything you need. We will definitely go again.
Unforgettable! Recommended!
The beauty of the cottage, its clean and 'understated' interior, but with all the amenities needed, was more than we could have asked for.
It's been hot, so hopefully the pool and deck will be finished soon. But we had a nice stay. Just remember bug spray.
Please see the stars.
Would definitely highly recommend Rivier Cottage.
We were very happy with the whole experience. Very neat property in a safe suburb.
The River Cottage is situated in a lovely location, right next to the river. The atmosphere of the place is like an exclusive holiday resort, but without all the hassle. The management team was very helpful and I would apply to stay there again anytime.
The people are very friendly. The place is very clean.
We only stayed for one night but would go back anytime and want to stay longer - the place is beautiful and the surroundings are so peaceful. We will definitely visit there again.
Would love to take my family there for a weekend.
The unit is very well equipped for a nice, peaceful weekend in nature. The unit is equipped with everything one needs and is brilliantly located on the banks of the Vaal River. It's ideal for a break and line watering weekend!
The River Cottage is a very pleasant holiday accommodation. It is sensibly planned with a beautiful view of the river. Pity there is no electric/gas oven in the cottage; the microwave oven and barbecue outside helped a lot luckily. Very relaxing with great service! Once the planned improvements are completed, the place will only be better. Will definitely stay there again in a week or so.
Clean, safe, relaxing and excellent service.
Our experience at the River Cottage was absolutely amazing. The peaceful ambiance and the view of the flowing Vaal River made this an incredible experience. The people at the River Cottage are very friendly. I will go as soon as the pool is finished as I would definitely want to visit the Cottage again and enjoy the pool looking out on the river.
We loved the extra touches like freshly baked bread and ground coffee. A lot of care had been taken to make us comfortable.
The facilities are good and clean.
