"Lovely charmed home , great place to stay. Thank you for having us. we will return! "

"We had a nice time at A Mountaun view Counrty Estate. The place is clean and and Jacque is friendly. The only problem I had is that there are no toilets in the rooms."

"Really enjoyed my stay. Just one concern for Mags though. She feels the Ablutions should be in the en-suite. Other than that, the atmosphere is tranquil and it is a venue I would recommend to my friends.

"Really enjoyed my stay. Just one concern for Mags though. She feels the Ablutions should be in the en-suite. Other than that, the atmosphere is tranquil and it is a venue I would recommend to my friends.

From a Fisherman's viewpoint, I would like Jacque to develop the Fishing area and possibly make a Picnic spot with Braai and Lapa above the Fishing area. Good River fishing with nice size specimens for Fly Fishermen as well as conventional River Bank Anglers."

"I liked my stay at Mountain View Country Estate because of how peaceful and tranquil it was. I felt relaxed and well rested after the 4 days I stayed there."

"We stayed here while doing the Vaal Eden Challenge, the first day start was 1km away but we it was a 27km drive to get there. We could see some of the route from our room. Great place to stay, will be back next year. Thanks to Jacques for going out of his way to make our stay comfortable."

"Jacques was very helpful and we had a pleasant stay."

"Basic yet clean and comfortable accommodation on a budget."

"Baie netjies en Skoon, die plaas atmosfeer was baie lekker, sal weer daar oornag. Die antieke meubels is pragtig. Sal aanbeveel vir n lekker nag rus."

"I will say that accommodation was satisfactory. Jacques tried his best."

"I have stayed here three times during business trips. The owners are friendly and helpful. Good option if you are looking for budget accommodation close to Parys and surrounding areas."

"Ons het die verblyf hier baie geniet! Jacques was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik, en dit was net n plesier om daar te wees! Dit is lekker naby aan Parys en die stukkie grondpad to by die ingang is kort en netjies. Sal verseker weer van hul gebruik maak!"

"We were very comfortable and had everything we needed. Service and help is excellent."

"Met my aankoms by A Mountain View Country Estate was Jacques so behulpsaam en vriendelik dit het gevoel asof ek 'n jare lange vriend van hom is. Ek het baie lanklaas 'n gastehuis gesien wat so op standaard skoon en netjies is, en 'n bonus is die pragtige meubels, ek sal te bang wees om dit in my hu..."

Ek het baie lanklaas 'n gastehuis gesien wat so op standaard skoon en netjies is, en 'n bonus is die pragtige meubels, ek sal te bang wees om dit in my huis te sit, wat nog aan te bied vir die gaste. Die uitsig by die rivier en die koppe is net wat ek nodig gehad het om my kop skoon te kry. A Mountain View Country Estate sal my defnitief weer sien!!!"

"Not bad for the amount you pay, toilets are far from your room. Rooms are very clean and neat."

"Very neat. jacques was an excellent host."

"We arrived to a very warm and sincere welcome Friday evening. We were greeted by Jacques who runs the place.

The cleanliness and neatness of the establishment was breathtaking, nothing out of place. It was definately worth every cent.

"A Mountain View Country Estate offers accommodation that is affordable yet comfortable, perfect for a romantic couple or visitors to Parys. The guest house is not far from town, the Vredefort Dome and other sights and attractions in the area. The service was a delight. We were only able to check in late in the afternoon and we were met with a smile. When our car broke down, Jacques (the owner) drove us to Potchefstroom without any hesitation. I highly recommend Mountain View Country Estate to any travellers to Parys. Gay and straight."

"Jacques was an excellent as host. The room was very good. The food was excellent (regte 'boere' kos)."

the river is just 10 min walk away from the place and Jacques is just so helpful and welcoming!

We spent just over 24h in Parys but it was enough for a super refresher :))"

"We had a great time, the owner was awesome and assisted us in locating some great site seeing areas.Thanks for the hospitality......and the people are very friendly in this little town."

We stayed there for one night for our 28th Marriage Anniversary. The farm atmosphere was great, especially with the meerkats on the grass. The room itself is very well equipped, with fabulous antique furniture that gives character to the setting. I definitely recommend Mountain View Country Estate for a nice quiet stay."

"The room is cozy and neat. The entire house has a warm and homely atmosphere and furnished with antiques. If an affordable room is needed and you quite like a farm environment then Mountain View is perfect. The river is literally 700m from the house and we had a pleasant sundown ride on our mountain bikes down to the river and back. We also enjoyed generous portions of breakfast and dinner in true farm home baked / cooked style. Beautiful views, nature sounds and peaceful. All round a pleasure."

"Thanks to a very friendly and clean overnight at Mountain View county estate.
Jacques really try his best to let everybody feel at home
Will visit you again"

"If you are looking for affordable accommodation which is also clean and tidy, this is the place. Booking went extremely smoothly and a friendly welcome awaited us upon our arrival. By being able to save on accommodation made it possible for the family to enjoy a get-away weekend by being able to afford other activities in and around Parys. Although not luxurious, it was quite acceptable and had everything you really need to still enjoy a pleasant stay away from home. Thank you to Mountain View Country Estate for making this possible. "

"We had an enjoyable stay, relaxed, quiet and fresh farm air. It was clean and the host very hospitable! "

"The place is nice and clean, and Jacques is very kind and friendly. I was a bit uncomfortable with not having a toilet in the room. Otherwise, the accommodation was good."

"The farm is very peaceful and the food was SPLENDID! Perfect for men, but women who prefer a full-length mirror should consider an alternative. But there is really nothing that can bother you in the simplicity. And may I add again...The food that one can request is divine."

"My family and I had a wonderful stay at Mountain View Country Estate - so peaceful and quiet! Did not want to go back to the hustle and bustle of City life!"

"The accommodation is very clean and provide quite a lot for the kids to do if you need to stay for longer than a night. The only constructive criticism I have is please make it clear that the toilet facilities are shared by all the guests."

"Overall I appreciated the attention to detail, the hospitality of the host, Jacques, and the cleanliness of the establishment.

Other wise a place I will visit again."
