11 guests' feedbackVery relaxing, comfortable large house, with all the amenities you need for an enjoyable holiday.
The hosts Gerhard and Stuart were very helpful pre and post-stay, the place was homely and the lake's views were so calming.
We had a great stay, the house is very spacious and has a beautiful view of the river. The house needs some work, but is sufficiently rested and tidy.
Stuart and Gerhard made our stay at the Water House enjoyable.
The Water House is spacious and comfortable, well-equipped and very peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Gerhard was very welcoming and helpful. It was the perfect location for a special family break!
Loved our stay, will definitely look at booking the house again.
Beautiful house with perfect location. Everything you need and well equipped.
I loved my stay, it was so perfect for a big group of us! It had everything we needed and we really enjoyed the mountain bike trails in the area, the huge lake that we paddled and swam in and the pool! There is both a normal and gas braai, as well as a pizza oven! All the ingredients for an amazing weekend away!
Everything you could wish for in the house. Very well equipped. Pizza oven a big bonus!
The pictures do really not do this house justice. The house is so well equipped and the location is perfect. The host was amazing and very accommodating. There is nothing on this I can fault and would recommend it to anyone thinking of a group vacation.
The Water House is an ideal location for a great time away from home. The bedrooms are all a good size and the entertainment areas are more than adequate. Unfortunately, the kitchen is too sparsely equipped for 10 people. We would suggest that more wine and bubbly glasses are supplied as well as more serving platters and bowls.
