Die Rivier-Houthuis

Gasvry, heerlikste etes, lekker rustige atmosfeer en natuurskoon.

Die ontvangs deur die eienaars was onbeskryflik vriendelik. Ongelooflik gasvry en neem gaste se belange ter harte. Die aandete en ontbyt is uit die boonste rakke. Ek sal die Rivier-houthuisie vir enige een aanbeveel.

Baie netjies en skoon asook veilig. Sal definitief aanbeveel.

Baie dankie Casper en Leenster vir julle gasvryheid. Dankie dat julle ons tuis laat voel het. Ons sal definitief Die Rivier Houthuis aanbeveel vir vriende en familie.

Wonderlike gasvryheid, geselskap en kos.

Baie vriendelike eienaars, dit voel soos ’n tweede huis. Die ontbyt is 10/10.

Vrede net buite Johannesburg.

Jy kan nie glo hoe naby Die Rivier-Houthuis aan Johannesburg is nie, en tog voel dit of jy ure weg van die stad af is. Baie mooi plekkie, netjies en oulik, en die eienaars is vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Baie vriendelike en professionele diens, wonderlike mense.

Ideaal geleë met beeldskone natuur. Heerlike kos met vriendelike diens. Beslis die beste wegbreek plek.

Home away from home.

This is such a lovely place to stay if you wish to forget that the outside world exists. Even though not situated far away from shopping malls it feels like you are on a farm far away from any civilization. The hosts are so friendly and make you feel right at home.

Heerlik, vriendelik en netjies.

Dit was 'n heerlike plek om te bly en te oornag. Baie rustige omgewing en baie naby die venue waar die troue was. Leenster en Casper het ons baie vriendelik en hartlik ontvang, dierbare mens. Die kamer en badkamer was baie netjies en skoon. Ek sal definitief weer soontoe gaan.

Cosy.

Friendly and cosy.

Enjoyable and pleasant overnight stay.

At the time of booking, we were not aware that the accommodation is not a 'free standing' unit. Having said this, my wife and I found the quarters satisfactory. The owners made our stay very enjoyable. The food is excellent and surroundings peaceful. I would recommend to all who enjoy an 'old world' atmosphere.

Al wat ek kan sê is wow!

Ons sal definitief weer daar bly.

Excellent, excellent, excellent.

Most definitely the perfect place with the perfect host and hostess, they absolutely made us feel right at home, with every attention to detail. The breakfast was scrumptious and the scenery was breathtaking. The guest room is very neat, spacious and tastefully decorated, and it lacks for nothing. The one night spent there was the best home away from home, if not even better. Thank you Leenster for everything, from meeting us in the pouring rain to the freshly plucked herbs from the garden. Die Rivier-Houthuis comes highly recommended, don't even hesitate to make your reservation.

Ongelooflike eienaars! Home away from home.

Leenster het spesiaal vroeg opgestaan om vir ons ontbyt te maak omdat ons vroeg moes vertrek. Hulle laat jou tuis en welkom voel. Die plekkie is ongelooflik mooi, skoon en netjies. Baie unieke, artistiese en gedetailleerde dekor, maak dit 'n klein juweel van 'n plek. Dankie oom Caper en tannie Leenster, julle is hartsmense!

Leenster is vyfster.

'n Wonderlike ervaring in 'n pragtige omgewing met 'n uitmuntende gasvrou en unieke kunssinnige huis.

Rustige, huislike atmosfeer.

Ek sal beslis weer by Die Rivier-Houthuis tuisgaan so dit nodig wees. Leenster skep beslis 'n rustige, vriendelike, veilige atmosfeer. Ons het vir geen oomblik ongemaklik gevoel nie, ek sal die plek ten sterkste aanbeveel vir mense wat 'n rustige natuurskoon uitspanplek verkies.

Perfect, beautiful and tranquil and I felt like a new person after the stay.

It was the perfect place with the perfect host and hostess, they absolutely made us feel at home and put in a lot of effort. The food was delicious and the scenery was breathtaking. The rooms are very neat and have everything you need even with a small child. I would definitely recommend the place with peace of mind.

Gasvry.

Die gasvrou en gasheer is super vriendelike mense wat ons van die eerste oomblik af laat welkom voel het. Ons was met ope arms ontvang en het sommer dadelik tuis gevoel. Sal ek weer daar gaan oornag? Baie beslis. Dit is een van daardie lekker plekke waar jy instap as vreemdelinge en uitstap as familie.

Uit boonste rakke.

Gasvry, voel soos familie. Dit was net lekker.

Excellent!

The River Wood House was an unexpected surprise in the best sense of the word. Experience brilliant hospitality - try them out, you're not going to regret it!

Tasteful and hospitable.

The place is a little gem. Will go back anytime. Casper and Leenster make you feel very welcome and treated.

Very kind people.

The only problem I experienced was that the bathroom was separate from the room.

Such peace and tranquillity.

This place was so peaceful. I'm so sorry we only stayed for one night. Leenster's personal attention was really amazing. And her attention to little details just made our stay so pleasant. It really is an amazing place to just take a break from city life without having to travel for hours. They went out of their way to make it a very pleasant stay. And the breakfast was amazing. Thank you Casper and Leenster. We will be back to try your ciabatta next time.

Incredibly beautiful place, we were spoiled.

It was our wedding anniversary and Leenster went out of her way to make it unforgettable. Most beautiful place with so much character and the friendliest people and animals. Will definitely go again. Special dinner and romantic atmosphere.

A cosy home away from home along the Crocodile River.

My wife and I decided we would spend our wedding anniversary at this lovely place. The houthuis is literally a very very large wood house. This instantly gives it a positive sense of difference to any other location. It is situated along the Crocodile River on a plot of land with a stunning grassy garden. Leenster is a formidable cook and I highly recommend you request additional meals if you do not feel like driving out. It is a very pet-friendly home with multiple dogs and cats (we love this) but I understand it may not be everyone's cup of tea.

Peaceful, beautiful house.

Very friendly and hospitable. Beautiful house in a peaceful environment.

Quiet.

Although it is a great break away, it is not said that one stays in the owners' house. We thought it was a small house next to a river, but it's only a room in the people's house. So it is not quite so private.

Was baie aangenaam. Dankie!

Baie moeite gedoen vir my tydens my verblyf. Vriendelike mense en pragtige omgewing.

Exceptional hospitality and unique accommodation.

Owners are wonderful people paying extra attention to make guests feel welcome. Lovely breakfast - Leenster's culinary skills are really something! Definitely a guesthouse worth recommending.

Die Rivier-Houthuis is an absolute gem with the great hosts and fabulous food.

Die Rivier-Houthuis a large, characterful, warm, beautifully furnished home which we shared with hosts Leenster and Casper. The food was plentiful and delicious, and every detail of the rooms, from the linen to the individual coffee pods, from the elegant crockery to the generous log fire, made us feel treated. Thank you!

Dit was my lekkerste verjaarsdag wat ek nog gehad het.

Die diens was meer as 100% en Leenster jy kan maar kosmaak, baie baie dankie vir al die bederf.

Uitstekende gasvryheid, gerieflike bed en kamer. Baie lekker ontbyt.

Die gasvrou was baie professioneel, vriendelik en behulpsaam. Pas aan by die behoeftes van die kliënt.

Lovely accommodation and friendly host/hostess.

Lovely accommodation near Lanseria Airport. Wonderful cats and dogs that don't bother you.

Hospitable people.

Friendlies people ever and we enjoyed the dinners a lots, and will recommend it any time. The cutest animals and nice and cosy fire. Warm winter linen was nice and cosy for the cold winter.

Warm, gesellig, in die mooiste omgewing.

Leenster en Casper het ons hartlik ontvang en ons het dadelik tuis gevoel. Die Rivier-Houthuis is pragtig en gesellig en Leenster is ‘n bobaaskok! Baie, baie lekker gekuier!

Wow.

Nader aan ons Skepper sal jy nie kom nie. Die huisie in die bos is warm, die kabbelende rivier kom spoel 'n rustigheid deur jou wese. Die kaggelvuur sing 'n lied. Leenster se ontbyt is watertandlekker. Dankie julle. Ons het die wegloop na die Rivier-Houthuis ongelooflik geniet.

Baie lekker gebly en ontspan.

Ons het baie lekker gebly en ontspan. Die ontbyt was baie lekker.

Fantasties.

Manlief het ons bederf met 'n wegbreek aandjie vir ons 10de huweliksherdenking. Dis 'n pragtige houthuisie by die rivier. Die huis is baie goed ingerig, met baie interessante dekor. Die eienaars is egte mense wat ons sommer lekker tuis laat voel het. All and all 'n heerlike aandjie.

Fantasties!

Die verblyf was fantasties. Leenster en Casper was gasvry. En die ontbyt en aandete was uit die boonste rake. Sal verseker weer gaan.

Dit was 'n onvergeetlike lekker naweek wat ons altyd sal bybly.

Ons is hartlik verwerlkom deur Leenster en Casper, ons het onmiddellik tuis en gemaklik gevoel in hul huis wat gevul was met aromiese reuke. Die rustigheid langs die rivier was onbeskryflike en ons het die honde se teenwoordigheid wat in die water baljaar het, baie geniet. My enigste spyt is dat die naweek te vinnig verby was, want ons sou beslis langer wou aangebly het. Ek kon nie wag om ons ondervinding te deel met familie en vriende en hulle is net so angstig om na die Rivier-Houthuis te gaan.

Soos ons kindertydse vakansies by ver familie: sprokiemooi en lekker, en sien sommer nou al uit na volgende jaar se besoek.

In my eenjarige se woorde: Wow-wow-wow! Pragtige woning met iets nuuts om te betower om elke draai. Kos wat die TV-sjefs se monde sal laat water. Warm verwelkoming van mense wat ons dadelik soos ou vriende laat voel het. Bowenal was dit die klein goedjies wat dit besonders gemaak het: die krat vol erfgoed speelgoed waarmee my kleinding sonder huiwering toegelaat is om te speel; die heerlike slaai saam met ons braaigoed "want dis nie moeite nie"; vars blomme in die badkamer en heerlike koekies saam die koffie-goed; baba hondjie en katte wat op 'n klein dogtertjie se versoek opgespoor en nader gedra word. Kan nie wag om terug te gaan nie!

Uitsonderlike gasvryheid.

Ek kan beslis Die Rivier-Houthuis aanbeveel. Die eienaars, Casper en Leenster, is so vriendelik en gaan uit hul pad om seker te maak jy is gemaklik en het alles wat jy benodig. En die huis is soos iets uit 'n sprokiesverhaal. Oud en nuut is stylvol en smaaklik gekombineer. Alles was netjies en skoon. Die tuine is so mooi gemaak. Kan sien daar is baie liefde in die eiendom gesit. Dit was my man se verjaarsdag en toe ons arriveer, het daar sjokolade vir hom op sy kussing gewag! So 'n spesiale persoonlike "touch". Ek en my man het ons verblyf vreeslik baie geniet.

Voel soos familie.

Die was nog vir my die lekkerste plek waar ek ooit gebly het. Ek het so tuis gevoel. Die area is pragtig en so gemaklik gevoel by Casper en Leenster. Ek sal beslis weer kom kuier al het ek nie iets aan nie.

Fantastic.

Friendly people. Close to nature. Stunning place.

Baie intiem, mooi en rustig. Lekker kos en baie aangename mense.

Die Rivier-Houthuis was baie mooi, intiem en rustig. Sou langer wou bly. Ons beveel graag die Rivier Houthuis aan vir enigiemand.

10 uit 10 vir Leenster en haar pragtige honde en heerlike ontbyt!

Sterk aanbeveel! Wat 'n wonderlike rustige plek, met pragtige mense en 'n wêreldklas ontbyt!

Besonders en uniek, klein juweel!

Ongelooflike omgewing. Absoluut uniek en definitief die moeite werd. Klein details in die kamer en met ontbyt maak dit nie net 'n ongelooflike plek nie, maar 'n spesiale ondervinding!

Die toppunt van gasvryheid! Dankie Leenster en Casper!

Die Rivier-Houthuis is geleë in die mees rustigste en mooiste omgewing langs die rivier. Ons sou graag meer tyd wou spandeer het om die rustige atmosfeer te geniet en al die diere te leer ken. Ons sal dus definitief weer by die Houthuis oorslaap in die toekoms en die Cradle of Humankind, asook al die ander besienswaardighede van die area te besoek. Die Houthuis is 'n besonderse gebou en 'n mens kan nie ophou kyk na die houtwerk nie. Ontbyt was uit die boonste rakke en 'n moet!

Great host. Great food and great setting. Rested well. Thank you!

We had a lovely time in a beautiful home with great food and a wonderful host.

Gesellig.

Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike kuier! Dankie vir julle gasvryheid en dat julle ons so welkom in julle huis laat voel het!

Breathtaking to the book.

Stunning, well-maintained. Good value for money. Lovely view, quiet, beautiful gardens, and forest vibe by the river. Good hospitality.

We had a fanstastic weekend.

We received the warmest welcome the minute we arrived. Leenster and Conrad are the perfect hosts. Everything was perfect from A-Z. What stood out for me, was the attention to detail in everything from your room to the 5 star breakfast. The breakfast are worth 10 stars rather. The environment is quiet and peaceful, a fantastic place for a weekend away. We met as strangers, left as friends. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Dis n warm verwelkomende tuiste weg van die huis af.

Baie dankie aan Leenster en Kasper wat ons so tuis laat voel het. Dis was heerlik by die rivier houthuis en ons sal beslis weer daar gaan draai. Die diens was puik en die ontbyt was uit die boonste gestoeltes!

Feels like home.

Very hospitalbe and friendly with a cosy atmosphere. Food was delicious. You feel comfortable and at home.

Welcoming and lovely.

It was a very lovely log cabin, owners were very welcoming and friendly. It has a homely feel, very clean and beautiful.

Home away from home - hospitality at its best in a stunning setting.

This place is a gem - we were treated to the warmest hospitality, delicious home cooked breakfasts (best bread we have ever tasted!) in a delightful home right on the Crocodile River where our every need was catered for. Leenster and Casper were the perfect hosts - friendly and helpful without being intrusive; our rooms were stunning and comfortable ... so much so that we didn't want to get out of bed! Attention to detail was amazing - home baked rusks, heated blankets, sweeties to snack on, a roaring fire ... Our dietary needs were sensitively catered for (we are vegetarian and my one daughter is vegan) - I cannot put into words how awesome this place is - unspoilt beauty so close to the bustling city.

Invitingly warm and friendly cabin in the woods.

Die Rivier Houthuis was a lovely experience. Casper & Leenster were very accommodating to our needs. Our room was lovely and warm and there were all sorts of nice treats for us. They have a brilliant collection of books and a cosy fireplace to relax by. Leenster made the most fabulous breakfasts. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck, listening to the birds and just breathing in the smell of the river and all the trees. Die Rivier Houthuis felt like our own little cabin in the woods.

Great experience.

Very friendly, helpful people. Very clean and beautiful!

Unforgettable, friendly, homely.

For an unforgettable getaway this is it. You arrive as a guest and leave as family. I have never felt so cared for at any other guest lodge.
