Upon arrival, Gabby - the staff member who helped us check-in - was incredibly helpful and accommodating, briefing us on the facilities and nearby fast-food spots. The rooms were excellent, being clean, comfortable and spacious. A notable addition in the room being a microwave (perfect for heating up left-overs before setting out early). The lodge's location also offers a spectacular view of the river.

I have very little to complain about. The barn-style doors in the bathroom may offer a bit of a privacy problem (as there are significant gaps in the doorway through which the main bed can be seen), but otherwise the stay was excellent!

I loved the whole experience. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Gabby the manager went out of her way to make our stay even more pleasant. Maria, the owner, has also done everything to make us feel welcome. It was like visiting old friends. Sitting next to the river under beautiful trees and admiring the might of the Orange River is something to behold. I loved every moment

No breakfast. Location fine. Rooms well appointed.

Although breakfast was offered on Booking.com we discovered that we were supposed to have advised them in advance of arrivingand consequently one was not provided.

Location was great, though no fence at river bank.

We were left in complete darkness on the night of 17th June. No backup for loadshedding. No rechargeable lights. There's no fence at the river bank. Breakfast only served over a 1hour period. 07:30 - 08:45.

If we hand breakfast, it will be great or if they told in advance.

Stunning location with beautiful views of the Orange River. The owner and staff were very friendly. Rooms were comfortable

It was very hot and we would’ve liked to have used the pool but it was dirty. This was disappointing.

The venue is right on the river bank as the name states with beautiful river views and beautiful green lawns. The reception was excellent and the breakfast was a great surprise as it was included
