Amazing value for money.

My wife and I absolutely loved our stay there. Our hosts were always ready if we needed anything and the unit was well equipped. We will definitely stay there again!

So thrilled your stay with us was worth it - despite the unseasonal heat! We look forward to you being "released" from Gauteng and able to travel again soon.

Above and beyond.

Wow. I've travelled quite a bit and the stay at the roaches was the best by far. Jane goes above and beyond. Our stay was for 5 days. Our bedding and towels were changed, there was more than enough tea, coffee, sugar and milk for our stay. Home made rusks. Chocolates everywhere. Very private and safe parking. Thank you Jane.

Fantastiese ervaring!

Gasvrou Jane het uit haar pad gegaan om my welkom te laat voel. Ruim, netjiese en veilige wooneenheid. Funksioneel ingerig, gefokus op die gas se behoeftes. Vele verrassings waarvan vars volroommelk saam met geurige koffie die hoogtepunt was. Sien julle weer!

Fantastic experience!

Hostess Jane went out of her way to make me feel welcome. Spacious, neat and safe residential unit. Functionally furnished, focused on the guest's needs. Many surprises, of which fresh full cream milk together with fragrant coffee was the highlight. See you again!

The Roaches is a very pleasant stay with a friendly, helpful host.

Such an enjoyable stay, the apartment is cleaned to high standards daily, the host is very friendly, but not intrusive and always a phone call away. An ideal spot to use as a base while exploring the Lowveld and the information file available is super useful.

Baie aangenaam om daar te bly.

Ons het soos konings gebly. Luukse akkommodasie teen 'n baie lae tarief. Baie meer gekry as wat ons verwag het. Baie smaakvolle eenheid. Vriendelike gasvrou. As ons weer in Witrivier moet oorbly sal ons op geen ander plek wil bly nie. Sal The Roaches vir seker by al ons vriende aanbeveel.

Very pleasant to stay there.

We stayed like kings. Luxury accommodation at a very low rate. Got much more than we expected. Very tasteful unit. Friendly hostess. If we have to stay in White River again we will not want to stay anywhere else. Will recommend The Roaches to all our friends for sure.

Ons het heerlik gekuier by Roaches.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang en het sommer van die staanspoor af tuis gevoel. Dit was super netjies en gerieflik. Die goedjies wat uitgesit is vir die kontinentale ontbyt was meer as wat ons kon gebruik en die lekkergoedjies om aan te peusel was heerlik. Lekker geslaap en gekuier. Sal dit enige dag aanbeveel en as ons weer in die omgewing is sal dit ons keuse vir verblyf wees.

We had a great time at Roaches.

We were warmly welcomed and felt at home from the start. It was super neat and comfortable. The food they put out for breakfast was more than we could use and the sweets were delicious. Had a great sleep and stay. Will recommend it any day and if we are in the area again, it will be our choice of accommodation.

Werklik uitmuntende verblyf.

Die skoonste, veiligste en netjiesste plek waar ek al ooit gebly het. Baie gawe en vriendelike gasvrou. Kombuis met groot verskeidenheid koffie, kase en nog vele meer. Beslis die geld werd, sal weer daar tuisgaan as ek in Witrivier is.

Absolutely stunning, best place I've ever stayed at!

Wow! Cosy, yet delightful and stacked to the brim with unexpected little surprises. The host, Jane, was very pleasant and inviting. The kitchen was stacked and had everything you wouldn't even have thought about. The bedroom and bathroom was clean and inviting! Wish we stayed longer!
