Dear Sipho,
As explained, we do have cameras and in the 13 years that the guest house has been operating we have yet to experience a problem. Were your vehicles harmed in any way? It was a pleasure hosting you and your company at Kowie River Guest House.

This place is an absolute gem of B&B, great hospitality, beautiful position right on the river.

This place ticks all the right boxes: wonderful hosts, beautifully situated, the rooms were exceptionally well appointed and clean, beautiful private terrace facing the Kowie River, the breakfast rocks. the complimentary glass of sherry upon arrival was greatly appreciated on a cold winter day.

Superb.

What a stunning location! And a friendly welcome to top it all. This is 5 star accommodation with a 6 star breakfast. Have to return during summer - autumn/early winter not ideal.

Lovely accomodation on the banks of the Kowie River.

Wonderful breakfast, room very neat, Dale shared his fishing knowledge with me and assist me to catch a Garrick from the jetty. Was a wonderful stay and I will definitely visit them again. Only suggestion is to put up a carport.

Verseker een van die heel beste gastehuise waarin ons nog ooit gebly het!

Ons reis baie en hierdie was verseker die beste van alle gastehuise waarin ons nog gebly het. Elke ete was prentjie mooi en goeie kwaliteit. Ek sal Kowie River Guest House ten sterkste aanbeveel aan almal wat ons ken! Baie dankie vir die voorreg om daar te kon bly.

The rooms are beautiful and the owners make you feel very welcome and special.

Please correct the number of the house on your website as it is number 10 and not 14 as is on the Google Maps.
