Great.

Kuier was lekker, awesome view. Sal dit aanbeveel.

Ons het lekker gebly by Riversun Retreat. Eenhede was netjies ingerig. Net eenheid 2 het 'n badkamergeriewe en 'n swembad nodig gehad.

A challenging drive, but worth it to reach heaven on earth. We'll be back!

If you aren't religious before you drive here in a two-wheel-drive car (in our case a 1989 Nissan 1400 Bakkie), you will be when you hit the road – but heaven awaits the traveller. Riversun Retreat is a piece of paradise! My hubby and I are veteran road-trippers and this is one of the most stunning places we've ever stayed at. An exquisite location and one of the most well-appointed cottages we have ever stayed in, with a charming, hospitable hostess! Overnighting doesn't do the experience justice. Next time we'll stay for a week! Thank you.

Rustig en afgesonder.

Goeie kommunikasie met vriendelike eienares vanaf dag een. Blyplek het alles in wat nodig is en netjies met 'n lekker lugreëlaar wat nodig was vir ons Februarie verblyf. Ons blyplek het 'n lekker braaiplek gehad en hout kon ons daar koop. Wifi ontvangs was goed. Vir diegene wat waardering het vir die natuurskoon van daardie gebied sal dit 'n heerlike ontsnap wees. By die ingang van die Namabieb Natuurreservaat. Pad is op sommige plekke maar grof maar diegene wat die Richtersveld se paaie ken sal dit nie vreemd vind nie. Sal nie sommer met 'n klein motorjie die pad ry nie. Veral 4x4 ouens sal hierdie plek ideaal vind.

Quiet and secluded.

Good communication with friendly owner from day one. Accommodation has everything needed and tidy with a nice air conditioner which was needed for our February stay. Our place of residence had a nice braai area and we could buy wood there. Wifi reception was good. For those who appreciate the natural beauty of that area it will be a delightful escape. At the entrance to the Namabieb Nature Reserve. Road is rough in some places but those who know the Richtersveld's roads will not find it strange. Won't just drive the road with a small car. Especially 4x4 guys will find this place ideal.

Relaxing location and friendly hosts.

This is a lovely little spot sitting on the banks of the Orange River. Jenny was very friendly and helpful and the setting was very relaxing. We travelled with one 8 year old and one adult child and the bunkbeds were fine. There was a small splash pool in the little courtyard and a braai. We didn't use the splash pool, as it was cold, but this would be quite welcoming in summer. The kitchen is well equipped. WiFi is via satelite so slower than fibre but it was absolutely fine for looking a few things up and checking mail etc.

Fantastiese, ontspannende wegbreek!

Wat is dan nou lekkerder as 'n rustige atmosfeer vir 'n lekker-rus wegbreek? Riversun is skoon, netjies, en veilig. Selfs die kinders kon lekker gaan stap en veilig speel. Die diens is absoluut puik! Ek sal beslis Riversun hoogs aanbeveel vir enige reisiger wat 'n wegbreek van die stad, en die geraas wil he!

Baie vriendelik en netjies.

Netjiese, skoon geriewe, goed ingerig en baie vriendelike diens. Braaipakkies met kwaliteit-vleis en selfs bygeregte is sorgeloos aangebied. Die 21 km-sinkplaatgrondpad is nie die lekkerste paadjie nie.

Very friendly and neat.

Neat, clean facilities, well furnished and very friendly service. Barbecue packages with quality meat and even side dishes were presented carelessly. The 21 km zinc-plate dirt road is not the nicest path.

Wonderful stay, place is awesome.

Jenny was amazing, we arrived late, she made us food, looked very well after us, their hospitality is amazing and I was in contact with the host from booking until I left. I recommend Riversun retreat to anyone.

Mooiste natuuromgewing met die vriendelikste mense.

Eerste keer in die omgewing, regtig besonderse natuurskoon, op die Oranjerivierbed, netjiese verblyf en vriendelikste gasvrou.

Vriendelik ontvang deur die gasvrou. Akkommodasie baie netjies. Wel probleme met akkommodasie.

Gratis internet word aangedui. Die internetverbinding was egter so swak dat ons net per WhatsApp met familie kon kommunikeer. Geen oproepe. Die badkamers is ook nie en suite nie. Jy moes die akkommodasie verlaat om by badkamer te kom. Die 21 km-grondpad na RiverSun Retreat is in 'n uiters swak toestand, selfs vir iemand soos ek wat met grondpaaie groot geword het. Wel pragtige omgewing.

Friendly welcome by the hostess. Accommodation very neat. Well problems with accommodation.

Free internet is indicated. However, the internet connection was so poor that we could only communicate with family via WhatsApp. No calls. The bathrooms are also not en suite. You had to leave the accommodation to get to the bathroom. The 21 km dirt road to RiverSun Retreat is in extremely poor condition, even for someone like me who grew up on dirt roads. Well beautiful surroundings.

Rustig langs die rivier.

Wonderlike oorbly by die ingang van die Richtersveld Wêrelderfenisgebied. Ons het die suurlemoene van die ou boom in ons gin-en-tonics geniet.

Dit is die ideale plek as jy weg wil kom van die gejaagde stadslewe.

Die eienaar is vriendelik en behulpsaam en dit is afgesonder en rustig.

Rustige atmosfeer en gasvrye mense.

Ons het so lekker gekuier om ons braaivuurtjie en afgekoel in die swembad. Die rivier en berge is prentjiemooi. Ons het lekker gerus.
