Family with young children

Very relaxing.

Beautiful location, in the heart of the bushveld. Big green lawns with huge trees surrounding the accommodation, perfect place for kids to play, while having a braai under the trees.

Groot huis met mooi tuine.

Die vallei rondom die rivier is baie mooi. Die rivier was baie vol toe ons daar was so weet nie hoe lyk dit gewoonlik nie. Het in Stroh huis gebly en daar is baie spasie en die tuine is baie mooi en ruim. Let wel daar is nie opvangs nie.

Big house with nice gardens.

The valley around the river is very beautiful. The river was very full when we were there so don't know what it usually looks like. Stayed in Stroh house and there is a lot of space and the gardens are very nice and spacious. Note that there is no catchment.

Absoluut hemels.

As jy 'n natuurmens is gaan jy dit vir seker geniet. Ag, al mens se sorge spoel af in die rivier soos ek en my vrou probeer visvang het. Ons was onsuksesvol weens die spond tyd wat aan die gang was. Maar ek sal vir seker volgende keer my fly-stokke inpak en weer my bass toerusting. Dis lieflik en rustig daar. Ek sal in geen ander huisie bly as Gypsy nie, die hele oop idee met die donkie - ons love dit. Voel of mens in 'n ander wêreld is. Ons gaan vir seker gou weer terug, die geelvis en bass wag vir my. Baie dankie aan julle, die webtuiste ook, dit was baie lekker.

Absolutely heavenly.

If you are a nature person you will enjoy it for sure. Ah, all one's cares wash away in the river as my wife and I tried to fish. We were unsuccessful due to the spond time that was going on. But I will definitely pack my fly rods next time and again my bass gear. It's lovely and peaceful there. I wouldn't stay in any other house than Gypsy, the whole open idea with the donkey - we love it. Feels like you are in another world. We will definitely go back again soon, the yellowfish and bass are waiting for me. Many thanks to you, the website too, it was very nice.

Pleasant and neat.

You need a big bakkie to access. The road is almost like 4x4 track. Luckily we drive a bakkie otherwise we would have struggled.

Riverstill Guest Farm 's response

Wonderful and abundant rain fell in the catchment area of the Groot Marico river... like always we have already dealt with roads that took a hammering from more than 200 mm of rain, furrow systems that silted up during the flooding and in general cleaning up after the recent heavy rain. The roads are once again fine for sedan cars without low profile tyres although we see a fair share of those as well... Just interested to know why the location gets such a low score as we have not yet met anyone that didn't rave about this secluded valley...

Baie aangenaam.

Besonderse plek vir natuurliefhebbers. Akkommodasie eenvoudig maar voldoende toegerus. Was so bietjie teleurgesteld in die toon van die inligtingspamflet in die kombuis. Andersins baie aangenaam.

Very pleasant.

Special place for nature lovers. Accommodation simple but adequately equipped. Was a bit disappointed in the tone of the information leaflet in the kitchen. Otherwise very pleasant.

Baie geniet in die rustigheid van die natuur. Sal beslis weer gaan.

As jy stilte en rustigheid geniet, is dit die plek vir jou. Dit is vir ware bosliefhebbers wat nie te veel gepla is oor fraai tierlantyntjies nie. As jy mal is oor Dullstroom of Clarens, bly liewer weg.

Much enjoyed in the tranquility of nature. Will definitely go again.

If you enjoy peace and quiet, this is the place for you. It's for true forest lovers who aren't too bothered about pretty tiger lanterns. If you love Dullstroom or Clarens, stay away.

Ongelooflike rus en vrede.

Baie netjies en skoon, baie moeite gedoen om ons tuis te laat voel. Heerlike koffie by die eienaar Jacques. Lieflike honde. So rustig in die natuur en mooi prentjiemooi. Perfekte naweekwegbreekplek sonder enige invloed van buite af soos fone en TV's. Baie dankie Jacques.

What a gem.

A wonderful place in the middle of nowhere. Ideal for nature lovers and those who want to unwind, meditate and create lasting memories.You need to carry all your food provisions, otherwise you have to hunt or fish for food!

Riverstill is as beautiful as always.

We love staying at Riverstill. Fortunately we like dogs, but guests should be warned that they take over the house, couches and beds! The gas oven is dangerous and my guest burned his hand seriously in re-lighting it when it went out. It would be an added bonus if the canoe was in better condition. However, we had a wonderful weekend in this paradise.
