    The hotel is situated on the river bank, offering stunning views and a picturesque setting. The basic amenities provided are top-notch, and the rooms with a view over the river are kept in pristine condition. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive, ensuring that everything was perfect during my stay. One highlight was the delicious breakfast provided, which had a wide variety of options to choose from.

    All was great, no complaints whatsoever.

    My family and I spent the Christmas holidays at a resort on the river. The view from our spacious room was breathtaking and the sunsets on the river were spectacular. We enjoyed the on-site restaurant with excellent meals and friendly staff. The river cruise was another great experience that we will always remember. Plus, the location was perfect for visiting nearby attractions.

    The noise level of some of the rooms were unbearable, to the extent that it was almost impossible to get a good night's sleep. Plus, the rooms had a heavy smoke smell.

    Our month-long stay at this riverfront resort was amazing! Surrounded by beautiful cliffs, the location was simply breathtaking. the room was clean and comfortable, the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was delicious. We loved spending time by the river and admiring the peaceful views. the braai facilities were perfect for cooking our own meals and the boat ride was a highlight of our trip.

    The noise from neighboring restaurants was sometimes a bit disruptive.

    This hotel provides an amazing riverside experience with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. The staff are friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist with any requests. The rooms, especially those with a view over the river, are well-maintained and offer a comfortable stay. The breakfast selection is varied and delicious, ensuring a great start to the day.

    Minor improvements could be made in terms of providing additional amenities in the self-catering units, such as a cork screw and dishwashing supplies.

    The food and drinks were top-notch, and we appreciated the complimentary pool towels and Wi-Fi. the hotel was located near some beautiful sights, and we were able to easily explore the surrounding area. Best of all, we got to spend quality time with our loved ones during this special holiday.

    The smell in our room was overpowering, and we were unable to get a good night's sleep. the bedding and overall decor felt dated and lacked freshness.

    Could not be improved in any way.
