“Large clean quite house with epic views”
+Fantastic! Probably one of the best stays we have ever had anywhere. The hosts Dean & John are super friendly and love kids. The house is really spacious with outstanding views of the valley from the large covered deck. Everything is clean and the bathrooms have big nice hot showers. The property is quite and safe. Book the hot tub - it was epic in the tub under the African stars.

“A Peaceful Escape , With the Best Four-Legged Guides! 🐾🌿”
+What we loved most about Riverview House was the peace, scenery and tranquillity. Being surrounded by the forest and nature made it such a relaxing place to stay , it really felt like an escape from the busy day-to-day. The house itself was very comfortable and accommodating, and we felt genuinely at home during our stay. But one of the things we will remember most are the dogs. We dearly miss them right now! 🐶❤️ They kept us company and somehow became part of the whole experience. They even joined us on a hike and, believe it or not, guided us when we got lost! 😂 We would be standing there wondering where on earth we were supposed to go, look up, and there they'd be waiting for us like, “Come on, keep up!” 😂 It was honestly such a special and unexpected memory. The beautiful forest surroundings, the quietness, the incredible scenery and the warmth of the place made Riverview House somewhere we really enjoyed. It was peaceful, welcoming and felt like a proper break , and the dogs definitely made it even more memorable. We would happily come back. ❤️
−If we had to find something we didn’t like, it would honestly be having to leave! 😂 We also didn’t take full advantage of the fact that we were told we could check out anytime on the Sunday. That is such a rare and generous thing to find these days, and looking back, we definitely should have stayed longer and enjoyed every last minute. And, of course, saying goodbye to the dogs was probably the hardest part. We got far too attached! 🐶❤️ So, in all honesty, our biggest regret is that we didn’t stay longer. Next time, we definitely will!

“Cosiest bed, crackling fire, crisp air, and cute visitors.”
+View is stunning with the fresh air - could not get tired of it. Fireplace and heated beds were amazing in the winter. Lovely markets on the weekend, delicious lunch at Mojo Café, and we had some beautiful dogs visit us and guide us on the property's trails. Communication was smooth with the hosts as they were one message away. Thank you for having us!
−We would recommend a great 3 night stay. Property is perfect for a long weekend getaway to decompress and detach from work and online (they do have WiFi and smart TV though). Not completely secluded, but feels like you are. Would recommend a visit!

“Amazing experience!”
+We had a terrific stay. The house is amazing, with lots of care taken to make it extra comfortable and enjoyable. From very cozy, heated beds to games/books for entertainment, to various cooking appliances (incl. gas grill and outside braai), outdoor paths, hot tub and especially breathtaking views - there is too much to rave about at Riverview House. Our thanks to the hosts for being attentive, helpful and very welcoming.

“Tranquility and Comfort near Sedgefield”
+Exceptional location and facilities at this beautifully decorated eco friendly home. The views over the tranquil valley are worth the price alone. There was everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and we would not hesitate coming back.

“Great memories for me and the family.”
+Location, location, location. Breathtaking scenery and peaceful surroundings. Each member of my family had their favourite spot. Be it outside on the sun drenched deck or in the lounge with a book in front of the newly installed fireplace. Rooms are beautifully laid out and ideally suited for a peaceful night’s rest. I loved having my morning coffee overlooking the vistas from the deck, usually when everyone was still asleep.

“Magnificent, peaceful views with lots to do in the area”
+The house is exceptionally well equipped with outstanding attention to detail. Every time we wondered if they would have something eg pegs to hang up washing - sure enough it was there. Its worth paying a bit extra to enjoy the lovely hot tub!
