"From the turnoff onto the dirt road the surrounding views all the way to the cottages is absolutely spectacular. River View Cottages offered more than I expected. Sundowners with scenic views along the river and leisurely hikes (some not quite leisurely) was exactly what the doctor ordered. The a..."

"For some background information.What a perfect setting. The cottages all have wonderful views of the the river and are designed in a practical manner so as to make it very user friendly.

"Our stay at River View Cottages was simply amazing. Cottages are very comfortable with stunning views of the River. Bronwyn was very nice and nothing was too much trouble.
The walks around the area are very nice but you must go early to avoid the midday sun.
The highlight of our stay w..."
"What a nice little spot, out of the way and so relaxing. The swim in the River was great, and the cottages are well equipped and very comfortable.
Definitely a spot to stay."

"Ancient landscapes, silence, peace. We have never stayed in a place which enchanted us more. The simplicity of the cottage gave it grace - and yet it had every comfort: unobtrusive, sophisticated, thoughtful and charming. The fireplace in the bedroom is a winner."
"Clean, quite, lots to do, friendly and beautiful. We could really relax and recuperate."
"An outstanding place. What a pleasure to find a self catering cottage that's not filled with somebody's leftover furniture, but rather, stylishly put together for comfort and pleasure. Attention to detail from long matches for the indoor fireplace to a deliciously cozy bed spread to a hammock on th..."

Thanks so much!"
"What a wonderfull place! We loved every second of our stay! See you again soon!"
"We had a great time!"
"A really glorious spot with paths around the hills marked out in white stones.
The cottages are basic but comfortable. Brai outside with wood ready to go. There was a canoe to explore the river. Take a fishing rod. Our hosts were fantastic. Road gravel not tarmac but in good nick. Stro..."
"On arrival we were greeted with peace and quiet, nothing but beautiful Karoo scenery and a cosy, rather modern cottage with lovely finishes.
We enjoyed our walks with 'Jock'. Enjoyed watching Bronwyn and family take a leisurely drive on their tractor and trailer with kids, and Wippets follow..."
"Ons sal vreeslik graag wil teruggaan, maar vir langer. Dit is pragtig daar. Bronwyn is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Net een ietsie, die matras was baie sag - miskien kan julle daarna kyk. Geen ander klagtes nie.
We would love to visit again, but for longer. It is beautiful there. Bronwyn ..."
"Without doubt the best stay of our three-week trip. Superb, wild location, lovely cottage, tranquility, birds, the lot."
"We stayed at the cottages for only one evening and Bronwyn were so kind as to inform us that we could leave the next day whenever we wanted to as the cottage was not booked. We had a lovely stroll along the river, sat on the raft under the willow trees, and had a lazy last day of our weekend. The ac..."

"I find it very difficult to describe just how lovely this place is.
The quiet, the isolation, the tranquility and the scenery far exceeded any expectations we had.
Just the books - from Shakespeare to Africa - could have kept me busy for six months!
We are just so sorry that we couldn't..."
"After a journey of about 7 km on a gravel road over mountains and valleys, you finally arrive at the cottage in a truly breathtaking beautiful place. We first sat down with a glass of wine on the veranda to enjoy the really beautiful view of the river and the surrounding mountain landscape. We felt ..."

more"We loved our two night stay in one of the cottages! Nothing fancy but all very well thought out and well-executed. Rather than using cheap stuff, the glasses, cooker, pots, everything is nice stuff and it is clear a lot of thought went into how to run a self-catering cottage. More than that, the vie..."
