I booked this guesthouse from the UK for my Dad's 70th birthday. I called the owners and advised them that it was a surprise and that I had booked a Hot Air balloon trip for the day after their arrival at 05h30. I asked them to include dinner and please look after my folks as I could not be there.... More

Our party of 4 adults stayed for one night in early Feb. 2013. My wife and had a room in the main house whilst our friends had the unique experience of sleeping in the tree house.

We booked a tree house/self catering unit at the Riverside Lodge several months in advance, and were not at all disappointed. The location is beautiful, and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. The unit is well equipped, private and comfortable. The veranda overlooking the stream below is lovely. We had breakfast at the guesthouse, and that was excellent and... More

Stayed here from 3 nights while in the area. Very disappointing place, dark rooms with little/no sunlight and ants in the bathroom - Got a few bites as a result1 Very old furniture and breakfast was very average. Have a look elsewhere in the area!

This B&B is very nice situated, along the river just on the corner of the main street of Oudtshoorn. The owner is very friendly and booked a last minute farm tour for us. Rooms are extremely large, but ours did not have any view from the window. This is compensated by a large outside area to sit along the river.... More

I booked a "luxury double" We were shown a choice of two rooms, neither of which could be described as luxury. The first was a small dark room with a small double bed, an armchair, an ancient wardrobe and an ugly painted cupboard. A corridor with a door to a backyard seperated the room from the bathroom. The small window... More

We stayed one night @ the Riverside Lodge and booked two luxury double rooms as we were a travelling party of 4 (2 adults and 2 children - 13 and 15). Guest house is well maintained and the rooms clean, spacious and well equipped. Located in a very safe part of town and pretty central. Pity it was winter and... More
