Top notch rest, relaxation, comfort and beauty a stone throw from the city!

Exceeded all expectations for my 2-night hideaway! Mindful hosts, beautifully decorated apartment, super comfortable bed, very tasty breakfast (good portion size), extremely well-stocked honesty bar, with a fabulous river view (no mosquitoes). Do plan to enjoy something from their supper menu – five star!

Kon nog nie ophou om met mekaar te deel oor hierdie ervaring nie. Onvergeetlike herinnering!

Kliëntediens was uitstaande, soveel so dat dit amper ongewoon was in vergelyking met die diens wat mens deesdae aan gewoond geraak het. Dit het soos huis gevoel weg van die huis af en die feit dat daar in al ons behoeftes voorsien is, het ons toegelaat om so lekker te ontspan en bymekaar uit te kom. Die netheid was uit die boonste rakke. Definitief 'n ervaring waarop mens nie wil uitmis nie. My dogter se aanmerking was "hierdie is die eerste plek wat ek sien waar die plek beter lyk as die foto's waarop dit geadverteer word. ".

Couldn't stop sharing about this experience. Unforgettable memory!

Customer service was outstanding, so much so that it was almost unusual compared to the service one has become accustomed to these days. It felt like home away from home and the fact that all our needs were catered for allowed us to relax and get together so much. The cleanliness was top notch. Definitely an experience you don't want to miss. My daughter's comment was "this is the first place I've seen where the place looks better than the pictures it's advertised on.".

Wegbreeknaweek met gesin.

Die Rivier-Houthuis is 'n baie aangename plekkie langs die rivier, net 30 minute vanaf JHB. Daar is aktiwiteite om aan deel te neem in die omgewing. Ons het ons baie geniet. Leenster is 'n gasvrou-duisend. Sy het ons gemaklik laat voel, en die lekkerste kos voorberei. Ons kinders kon nie genoeg kry van die plek nie. Die plekkie is 'n regte "cottage in the woods" met als wat jy nodig het. Sal dit beslis aanraai. Dankie Leenster en Casper.

Ons is hartlik ontvang en met sorg, fyn smaak en opregtheid getrakteer.

Dit was vir ons 'n verrykende ervaring om die stilte en vrede daar te beleef, en om vir Casper en Leenster as 'n hegte familie, diere inkluis, 'n bietjie te leer ken. Die gasheer en gasvrou is albei baie goed-opgevoede en geletterde, maar plat-op-die-aarde mense wat hul beste gee om mens se verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak. Ons het 'n groot privaat kamer gehad, met reg langsaan 'n privaat badkamer (ongelukkig geen bad nie - net 'n stort). Die kamer en badkamer is aan die koeltekant van die huis en dus in die wintertyd redelik koud, maar ons het 'n olieverwarmer en heerlike vere-duvet gehad om daarvoor te vergoed. Hou in gedagte dat hierdie 'n B&B-verblyf is, en dat jy dus die huis-inwoners se woning met hulle en hulle geliefde diere (en kosbare familiefoto's) deel. Daar was twee ongelooflik rustige Siamese katte, ses kleinerige honde en 'n baie rustige groot Russiese herdershond deurentyd op die toneel, maar hulle het ons besoek verryk en ons nooit gepla nie. Die huis en al die geriewe is ook werklik baie skoon en netjies, ten spyte van sommige van die diere se somtydse teenwoordigheid in die huis. 'n Groot lekker oor drie koue nagte was die kaggelvuur in die groot woonkamer, heerlike geregte, en werklik besonderse eetgerei en breekware waarvoor Leenster as gasvrou absoluut bekend is. Daar was 'n goeie verskeidenheid koue drankies teen redelike pryse in die yskas beskikbaar, asook 'n aantal goeie gehalte bottels wyn. Daar was ook die voorreg en plesier om jou eie musiek-CD's saam te bring en voor die kaggel met die mense van die huis te deel. Nog 'n bonus vir boekwurms was 'n baie lekker verskeidenheid goeie-gehalte tydskrifte en interessante boeke tot jou beskikking.

We were warmly received and treated with care, fine taste and sincerity.

It was an enriching experience for us to experience the silence and peace there, and to get to know Casper and Leenster as a close family, animals included, a little. The host and hostess are both very well-educated and literate, but down-to-earth people who do their best to make one's stay as pleasant as possible. We had a large private room, with a private bathroom right next to it (unfortunately no bath - just a shower). The room and bathroom are on the cool side of the house so quite cold in the winter, but we had an oil heater and lovely feather duvet to compensate. Keep in mind that this is a B&B stay, and that you are therefore sharing the house residents' residence with them and their beloved animals (and precious family photos). There were two incredibly calm Siamese cats, six small dogs and a very calm large Russian shepherd dog on the scene at all times, but they enriched our visit and never bothered us. The house and all the facilities are also really very clean and tidy, despite some of the animals' occasional presence in the house. A great treat over three cold nights was the fireplace in the large living room, delicious dishes, and truly exceptional cutlery and crockery for which Leenster as hostess is absolutely known. There was a good selection of cold drinks at reasonable prices available in the fridge, as well as a number of good quality bottles of wine. There was also the privilege and pleasure of bringing your own music CDs and sharing them in front of the fireplace with the people of the house. Another bonus for bookworms was a very nice selection of good quality magazines and interesting books at your disposal.

Die ontvangs deur die eienaars was onbeskryflik vriendelik. Ongelooflik gasvry en neem gaste se belange ter harte. Die aandete en ontbyt is uit die boonste rakke. Ek sal die Rivier-houthuisie vir enige een aanbeveel.

A cosy home away from home along the Crocodile River.

My wife and I decided we would spend our wedding anniversary at this lovely place. The houthuis is literally a very very large wood house. This instantly gives it a positive sense of difference to any other location. It is situated along the Crocodile River on a plot of land with a stunning grassy garden. Leenster is a formidable cook and I highly recommend you request additional meals if you do not feel like driving out. It is a very pet-friendly home with multiple dogs and cats (we love this) but I understand it may not be everyone's cup of tea.

Rustig.

Alhoewel dit 'n puik wegbreek is word daar nie vertel dat mens in die eienaars se huis bly nie. Ons het gedink dis 'n klein huisie langs 'n rivier, maar dis eintlik net 'n kamer in die mense se huis. So mens is nie heeltemal so privaat nie.

Although it is a great break away, it is not said that one stays in the owners' house. We thought it was a small house next to a river, but it's only a room in the people's house. So it is not quite so private.

Dit was 'n onvergeetlike lekker naweek wat ons altyd sal bybly.

Ons is hartlik verwerlkom deur Leenster en Casper, ons het onmiddellik tuis en gemaklik gevoel in hul huis wat gevul was met aromiese reuke. Die rustigheid langs die rivier was onbeskryflike en ons het die honde se teenwoordigheid wat in die water baljaar het, baie geniet. My enigste spyt is dat die naweek te vinnig verby was, want ons sou beslis langer wou aangebly het. Ek kon nie wag om ons ondervinding te deel met familie en vriende en hulle is net so angstig om na die Rivier-Houthuis te gaan.

It was an unforgettable fun weekend that we will always remember.

We were warmly welcomed by Leenster and Casper, we immediately felt at home and comfortable in their home which was filled with aromatic smells. The tranquility along the river was indescribable and we really enjoyed the presence of the dogs frolicking in the water. My only regret is that the weekend was over too quickly, as we definitely would have liked to have stayed longer. I couldn't wait to share our experience with family and friends and they are just as anxious to go to the River Log House.

Soos ons kindertydse vakansies by ver familie: sprokiemooi en lekker, en sien sommer nou al uit na volgende jaar se besoek.

In my eenjarige se woorde: Wow-wow-wow! Pragtige woning met iets nuuts om te betower om elke draai. Kos wat die TV-sjefs se monde sal laat water. Warm verwelkoming van mense wat ons dadelik soos ou vriende laat voel het. Bowenal was dit die klein goedjies wat dit besonders gemaak het: die krat vol erfgoed speelgoed waarmee my kleinding sonder huiwering toegelaat is om te speel; die heerlike slaai saam met ons braaigoed "want dis nie moeite nie"; vars blomme in die badkamer en heerlike koekies saam die koffie-goed; baba hondjie en katte wat op 'n klein dogtertjie se versoek opgespoor en nader gedra word. Kan nie wag om terug te gaan nie!

Like our childhood holidays with distant relatives: fairytale beautiful and fun, and already looking forward to next year's visit.

In my one year old's words: Wow-wow-wow! Beautiful home with something new to enchant at every turn. Food that will make the TV chefs' mouths water. Warm welcome from people who immediately made us feel like old friends. Above all, it was the little things that made it special: the crate full of heirloom toys that my little one was allowed to play with without hesitation; the delicious salad with our barbecue "because it's not hard"; fresh flowers in the bathroom and delicious cookies with the coffee stuff; baby dog and cats that are tracked down and carried closer at a little girl's request. Can't wait to go back!

Uitsonderlike gasvryheid.

Ek kan beslis Die Rivier-Houthuis aanbeveel. Die eienaars, Casper en Leenster, is so vriendelik en gaan uit hul pad om seker te maak jy is gemaklik en het alles wat jy benodig. En die huis is soos iets uit 'n sprokiesverhaal. Oud en nuut is stylvol en smaaklik gekombineer. Alles was netjies en skoon. Die tuine is so mooi gemaak. Kan sien daar is baie liefde in die eiendom gesit. Dit was my man se verjaarsdag en toe ons arriveer, het daar sjokolade vir hom op sy kussing gewag! So 'n spesiale persoonlike "touch". Ek en my man het ons verblyf vreeslik baie geniet.

I can definitely recommend Die Rivier-Houthuis. The owners, Casper and Leenster, are so friendly and go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. And the house is like something out of a fairy tale. Old and new are stylishly and tastefully combined. Everything was neat and clean. The gardens are so beautifully done. Can see a lot of love has been put into the property. It was my husband's birthday and when we arrived there was chocolate waiting for him on his pillow! Such a special personal "touch". My husband and I really enjoyed our stay.

Die toppunt van gasvryheid! Dankie Leenster en Casper!

Die Rivier-Houthuis is geleë in die mees rustigste en mooiste omgewing langs die rivier. Ons sou graag meer tyd wou spandeer het om die rustige atmosfeer te geniet en al die diere te leer ken. Ons sal dus definitief weer by die Houthuis oorslaap in die toekoms en die Cradle of Humankind, asook al die ander besienswaardighede van die area te besoek. Die Houthuis is 'n besonderse gebou en 'n mens kan nie ophou kyk na die houtwerk nie. Ontbyt was uit die boonste rakke en 'n moet!

We will therefore definitely stay overnight at the Houthuis again in the future and visit the Cradle of Humankind, as well as all the other attractions in the area. The Houthuis is an exceptional building and one cannot stop looking at the woodwork. Breakfast was top notch and a must!

Home away from home - hospitality at its best in a stunning setting.

This place is a gem - we were treated to the warmest hospitality, delicious home cooked breakfasts (best bread we have ever tasted!) in a delightful home right on the Crocodile River where our every need was catered for. Leenster and Casper were the perfect hosts - friendly and helpful without being intrusive; our rooms were stunning and comfortable ... so much so that we didn't want to get out of bed! Attention to detail was amazing - home baked rusks, heated blankets, sweeties to snack on, a roaring fire ... Our dietary needs were sensitively catered for (we are vegetarian and my one daughter is vegan) - I cannot put into words how awesome this place is - unspoilt beauty so close to the bustling city.

Invitingly warm and friendly cabin in the woods.

Die Rivier Houthuis was a lovely experience. Casper & Leenster were very accommodating to our needs. Our room was lovely and warm and there were all sorts of nice treats for us. They have a brilliant collection of books and a cosy fireplace to relax by. Leenster made the most fabulous breakfasts. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck, listening to the birds and just breathing in the smell of the river and all the trees. Die Rivier Houthuis felt like our own little cabin in the woods.
