Netjiese blyplek maar met veiligheidsprobleme.

Translate to English.
Neat place to stay but with safety issues.
Interior decoration good and very clean interior and grounds. However, units are dark and bats in roof space which raises health risks. We also did not feel safe because neither the owner nor the manager stays on the premises, fencing does not offer much protection and it happened that the alarm system did not work during load shedding.

We stayed in the 2-bed cottage, which is very spacious and well equipped for overnight stays. We were warmly received upon our arrival and enjoyed the beautiful garden. We were the only guests for the night and felt very safe. Will definitely stay at Riversford again in the future.

Such a peaceful atmosphere, with the best service.
We had such an amazing time. The most beautiful farm house with a beautiful kitchen. We booked the farm house and therefore the full farm kitchen was at our disposal, which we were so grateful for. The maid was so kind to make us a nice breakfast on Saturday morning (with our own products that we bought) she even offered to iron our clothes for us before our wedding. Which of course we were so grateful for. Our boy is 18 months old and there is more than enough play space. He could run around without us having to make sure he was safe. There are cute geese, kittens and goats that we enjoyed so much. It is incredibly safe. Just make sure to turn off lights in the evenings and keep windows and doors closed, otherwise you might attract a bat or two. This place is worth its weight in gold! Their service is absolutely superb. If you have a wedding at De Oude Kraal Country Estate this is your closest accommodation.

Quiet and place is quite nice.
Bathroom light didn't work, struggled with my 2 year old as there was only a shower. There was a terrible strong smell in the room, polish or something but it immediately closed our noses and gave us terrible headaches. The bathroom drain stank. There were no porridge bowls. And the place was terribly small. Because it didn't have a kitchen and wasn't self-catering and there was no place to eat on the premises so we had to drive 30 km into town to be able to eat.

Neat accommodation in a beautiful, peaceful environment.
The unit we stayed in was neat. However, there is only a room and bathroom, so it is definitely only a place to sleep and not a place to visit. It was quite expensive for what we got. For example, if we had stayed in a hotel in Bloemfontein for the same cost, there would have been a bit more amenities. However, if you are looking for a place that is clean and tidy and very quiet to sleep over, this is the right place for you.

It is a lovely quiet environment and very close to the N1 which is very convenient, because we had to hit the road again early in the morning. Our host, Altus was very helpful and friendly. Everything was nice and clean and in its place. We slept over in the cottage and the decor is certainly pleasing to the eye. Very pretty. Will definitely stay here again and would also recommend it.
