Fantastisch huis , geriefelijk met een echt luxe gevoel . Mooie veilige omgeving . Puur genieten !

The space the property presented and the location was absolutely amazing. Worth every penny spent.

The house is conveniently located, very easy to find. It was hot during our stay, so having the pool all to ourselves was wonderful, and the aircon in the rooms was a bonus! The house is beautiful and spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. We were so happy we were able to bring our little dog along, she really enjoyed the big backyard. We had a lovely time!

Absolutely immaculate house. Stunning location. Beautiful back garden. Comfortable beds.

Absolutely amazing-location, accommodation, hostess

This fine and quaint and cottage furnished style home was a lovely and comfortable stay. The owner was very friendly and helpful. She catered for small extras eg. Coffee, tea and sugar. I will definitely visit again.

Very comfortable house, lit the fire so nice and cosy. Very central to town

Big and airy living space, had everything we needed. Beautiful garden to chill by the river bank. The host (Lynette)’s attention to detail was outstanding.

Beautiful property with everything you need. Lots of privacy, lovely stoep to sit on with a view of the mountain. Quality products in the house, comfortable, amazing shower and very helpful owner. We loved staying there and appreciated all the little touches.

Nothing to complain about.

We had the most wonderful stay at Riverside Country House over the Easter weekend. We spent three nights there and honestly didn’t want to leave. The space just invites you to settle in and enjoy - whether it was lounging on the comfy couches on the stoep, cooking together in the lovely kitchen, or enjoying long meals around the big dining table, it felt like a real home away from home. We made a special Easter lunch and had everything we needed. The upstairs bedrooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, and we loved gathering around the kitchen table while cooking. The house was spotless and really well cared for - it had everything we needed, and you can tell a lot of thought has gone into making it a comfortable space. The garden and outdoor area were absolute highlights. The house is right on the river, so you hear the water flowing all day, which is incredibly calming. We had two sunny days by the pool and two rainy ones - both were magical. We sat outside on the stoep during the rain, watching the river rise and listening to the downpour. There’s a lovely braai area down by the water, a big patch of lawn, and the sunsets behind the river are just beautiful. Lynette, our host, was also really kind and helpful, sharing tips about the area. This was truly one of the best getaways we’ve had. We’ll definitely be back!

Nothing. It was perfect.

Arrangements for key collection were made via WhatsApp. It all worked fine. The house is huge and very well equipped. We felt very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. There are several restaurants within 10 minutes' walking distance and a number of others on the far side of town. The area seems safe.

Absolutely nothing!

Incredible stay! The photos dont give it justice. Swellendam is a lovely stop and was a great first part of our trip. The pool was a lovely break from the sun and is much bigger than photos suggest!

We didnt mind but if you are a private person, having the lovely landlady on the property (occasionally) just above you may be a bit jarring.

Clean, spacious, comfortable and very friendly host

Nothing

We had a peaceful break from our busy work days. The house is so comfortable and the surroundings beautiful. Loved the open plan and pool area. Will highly recommend it!

I missed a bath but the shower was very good.

Beautiful house , very comfortable, spacious , great pool area, very clean , very close to town centre , tastefully decorated, just a great home from home

Nothing .

Classy. spacious, outside patio, space a pool area. Location and garden, peaceful. Better than expectations.

only 1 full bathroom for 4 people

The host was so helpful and friendly

I loved the entire property and that the house is equipped with everything we needed throughout our stay. We loved the peace and quiet and the beautiful outside area was just magnificent. Also that the property is pet friendly.

The WIFI signal was quite weak and struggled to connect most times and the property needs new beds, but we slept throughout our stay.

Very nice place, would go back there any time.

You know how you look at photos and go "Nah it can't be that good"? These photos don't lie! There's something about arriving somewhere and feeling like you can exhale - especially after your toddler's over being in a car seat for a long drive .. and Riverside Cottage is definitely one of those places. The hammock was so welcomed. There's a river right next to the cottage that beats any white noise machine. I appreciated every detail - so well thought out - extra blankets placed within arms reach all aroud the house; the wood burner was ready for us - we just needed to light it; the kitchen had everything we needed to prep a meal; the layout and the smell of the place made me feel like I was deserving of a break in comfort. The views are just, wow. Lynette was very accommodating, which is amazing when you're trying to work around a naptime. Communication was great. Thank you for a great stay - would love to visit again for a longer period because one day was definitely not enough! Definitely have a peek at that bookshelf upstairs :)

The decor was excellent, and the house had everything we needed for a breakaway. It is very spacious house. The friendly host lit the fire in the fireplace to heat up the house before our arrival.

Would have love to give a higher rating then 10/10.

Overall, this is a beautiful home. Given the 2 bedrooms and one bathroom it suited us as girls sharing. There isn't a guest toilet downstairs.

Please put a non-white towel in the bathroom. Luckily, we carried a spare towel as we don't want to leave make-up on beautiful towels. The bed in the red room needs replacing. It creaked and my sister experienced back ache. Please fix the key lock for exit.

Absolutely stunning and charming property. Great value for money and quite convenient with dry wood provided and captivating being so close to the river. Peaceful and serene, amazing dining areas inside and outside.

Non negotiable on check in and check out times. Check out at 10am leaves very little room to shower, pack, prepare breakfast and beat the deadline time to check out. Unless you prepare the previous night or wake up very early to afford everyone an opportunity to use bathroom since there's only one.

Great location, clean, well-equipped and spacious.

Larger beds would have been a bonus.

First of all the house was absolutely gorgeous with big spaces and a large back yard. Very beautiful decoration throughout the house with details that really made a difference and it feels like home! The house had literally everything you could ask for and even more!! All the appliances are branded and top notch. The location is excellent, walking distance to restaurants and shops and very close to the center. As for the host is concerned, Lynette, the words are not enough because except being an amazing host, she is far and foremost a wonderful person and this is what matters for me the most!! Definetely coming back!!

The wifi was a bit slow but that for me was not such a big deal and it had nothing to do with the property itself, i pressume its the provider!

Property was amazing, definitely value for money.

Sharing the toilet and shower, took a while for to get ready

Charming house in quiet neighborhood. Comfortable beds and bedding. Spacious and beautiful garden. Visited on a cold night and there were plenty of electric blankets and portable heating on standby.

If you plan on cooking, the kitchen sink, fridge and the oven are not ideally situated near each other. Since we didn't cook. And there are plenty of restaurants closeby, it was fine!

The house was very clean and fully equipped, the backyard is amazing and Lynette is very friendly

The house was amazingly comfortable and those beds were just the chefs kiss. My sciatica was very happy with those mattresses. I had the pleasure of trying out both, as I had to lie with our daughter until she fell asleep resulting in me falling asleep there too! This was fantastic to me as I usually have to take meds to fall asleep, and every morning I would wake up with the meds still next to me on the side table as I would fall asleep before even taking them! Our absolute favourite was sitting on the back stoep looking out at the view of the forest and pool while watching the rain - lest I forget listening to the river (which is right behind the house) flow - it was so peaceful and relaxing. Our 8 year old had a fantastic time as well, as there are little swings under this beautiful big tree that she loved to go to while it was raining. We had our dog aka furbaby with us and he had a ball of a time, and when we got back home he had serious holiday blues, in fact we all did 😭. It took him a full day to come out of his depression. Lynette was a wonderful host making us feel very comfortable even when the storm decided to blow off the lounge chair and break the umbrella during the night. Our weekend was definitely one for books with spending some quality family time together even with the weather being bad. We simply cannot wait to go back! Hopefully next time we'll be luckier with the weather 😄

Unfortunately because we didn't have great weather, an undercover braai area for those times when the rain just doesn't give up would've been great. Especially since we planned to braai all our meals 😂

Everything.

View and location

The most beautiful house. We were so disappointed not to be able to stay longer. It was just lovely, wonderful features throughout. House of dreams. Everything you could possibly ask for.

Honestly there was nothing not to like

Location was fantastic. Extremely comfortable and secure. Very welcoming hostess. Great facilities. Could easily stayed longer.

Layout of the kitchen.

the size of the house was amazing-even bigger than the photos portrayed. Lynette was great- sending messages and keeping in contact before we arrived, checking on arrival time etc. The garden and pool area was lovely, fabulous stoep outside for relaxing. Huge huge open plan lounge/dining area and kitchen. Upstairs also huge with large bright bedrooms-plugs near to mirrors. Large bathroom with good powerful shower, always plenty of hot water. Huge garage to keep the car safe. Excellent location and easy to find just off the main Swellendam road with shops/restaurants etc. 5 mins in the car to Checkers and local shopping centre. One of the best things was we didn't even know when it was loadshedding-everything except the oven worked. All in all a fabulous find-excellent value for money, spotlessly clean and would happily stay again. Shame we were only there for 1 night.

Absolutely stunning house in such a lovely location. The house is so spacious and furnished so beautifully. It felt like home.

Perfect host. Amazing place.

It was self catering and we had to leave early the next morning. Location was beautiful. Love the area where it was located.

Well appointed , great location, heater and wood burner for cold evenings. Lovely garden and pool.

Only toilet/ bathroom is upstairs via a twisty and quite steep wooden staircase. Whilst not a problem for us , this property is not suitable for anyone with mobility limitations.

Beautiful interior

Bathroom on second level

What a beautiful and cozy house with beautiful surrounds! My favourite features of the house were the fireplace, the lovely stoep close to the river, and the fact that the house is off the grid. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Location, spotless, very comfortable, everything you need, host very kind and informative, well maintained,

comfortable seating options in beautiful garden
