"We understood all cottages to be on the river, which doesn't seem to be the case. We experienced a little confusion with the choice of cottage at arrival, but were accommodated satisfactory. Cottages are tastefully decorated and all we needed to secure a lovely stay was supplied."

"Excellent situation"

10 October 2016

"Thank you to Leonie and John for your very friendly and warm welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, just one night (sadly) but hope to be back one day. The Riverside Cottage is special and we could have stayed much longer, the tranquillity and location are fantastic! Both cottages we used were very well furnished and appointed with everything one needs at fingertips. We have no doubt that the new riverside cottage will be just as popular. Congratulations on providing a wonderfully restful place to unwind. John Forster and Gang!"
"Perfect stay"

"We had a wonderful stay in a perfect cottage on the river. Very private and quiet. If you are looking for a place to stay in or near Prieska, this is it.<div>The only small criticism is that the photos do not do justice to the spacious and well-appointed cottage with ample evidence of a 'woman's touch'.</div>"
