    Absolutely nothing !!

    The view is absolutely beautiful. The kids and dogs had so much freedom and fun. We went for walks and the kids loved playing in the river. We had a friendly dog playing with our dogs. We all had so much fun. This place is amazing

    No visible signage to the accommodation. There are a few houses on the property and we were not sure where to go and the signal was poor. But then we saw the house as we recognised it from the photos.

    The venue is very private and peaceful with the waterfall and birds in the trees. Very nice, clean and spacious property with lovely lawn on the side. Peaceful walk along the river with the resident doggy and we felt very safe all weekend. Close to all popular amenities. Extremely friendly and helpful hosts. Would love to visit in the winter months with all those magnificent trees in yellow and orange.

    There was nothing we didn't like.

    The beauty and serenity of the location was beyond words. Totally relaxing and reenergising. Watching and listening to the river and waterfall completely superseded the need for a tv. Everything we could need was on hand, including offers of assistance from the friendly and warmly welcoming owners, should we require any. Will absolutely visit again!

    The place is secluded, and set in a beautiful surroundings. Right on the river with a waterfall as your view. The place is clean a spacious. The host where great and very helpful. I would recommend this place if you are looking for great place to spend time outdoor, in the river etc... and my dog absolutely loved it as well.

    The isolation, beautiful river view and kind hosts made this a location we will choose again. Our 2 fur babies loved the space and to run on the grass outside the cottage. Thank you Ian for offering to tow us out if we get stuck in the mud on the dirt road, the area had heavy rains and most gravel roads were floaded. See you soon🙂

    Nothing. Everything was awesome!

    We loved this awesome pet friendly lodge situated in the most amazing setting. The owners went to so much extra effort for us; they even built us a fence and a gate so that I didnt need to keep my dog on a leash, that she could roam around free and gave us peace of mind. The hosts were wonderfully accommodating and their beautiful lodge is such a treat, situated above a waterfall and having the most incredible boma. I was so sad to leave, but highly recommend this place and we will definitely be coming back. A real gem in Winterton. Thanks Kim and family for making our stay so special.

    Massive ant and bug problem. We couldn't even sit outside without ants climbing all over the table and yard. We left early because we woke up 2 nights in a row with bugs running over my husband whilst he slept. Once he was wake he couldn't go back to sleep. The kitchen was infested. Even if U dropped a crumb there were hundreds of ants all over it. Couldn't even sit on the wall outside. The nights were terrible. When the lights came on the flying bugs were even in our hair. Over the food. Not even the smoke from the braai deterred them. The dishes in the kitchen were a testimony to the ant problem. Every piece of crockery that we wanted to use had ants and bug faeces. My bedroom walls were infested with ants and bugs. I got the helper to wipe the walls for me the next morning but it didnt help.This made our stay extremely uncomfortable and we therefore had to leave a day earlier. R4050 for this vacation was definitely not worth it.

    The location was stunning. The river was spectacular. Cottage was cozy.
