“The best long weekend ever.”

I cannot stress how wonderful Riverhide was. We arrived and from the minute we got there it was amazing. Everything was wonderful and we relaxed and enjoyed our stay. We as a family will be back because it was the best long weekend ever.

“One of the best Airbnbs we have ever booked.”

This location is so magical — the photos don’t do it justice. We watched eagles from the lounge and outdoor seating area all day long. We caught and released multiple big fish. The jacuzzi was the best we’ve ever experienced. The fire pit is incredible and the gardens are stunning.

“What an exceptional place this is.”

Everything. What an exceptional place — our entire family was accommodated in a beautiful house in a gorgeous setting. Immaculate in every way.

Literally nothing to complain about or even mention. Everything was perfect.

“Fantastic experience, the attention to detail was top notch.”

The house and garden were fantastic. The host thought of everything — fresh bread, herbs, coffee, wood for the braai, DSTV Premium, comfy rooms and beautiful bathrooms.

There were no negatives!
