Eco Prime waterfront 4 Bedroom modern design home.

LucasRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This is an absolute gem of a place, we had such a great time, Sandra is extremely accommodating and wannyboy is always around if there’s a need or to offer help. We felt very comfortable and at home. The home is off the grid so you must be mindful of electricity and timings but it is absolutely worth the drive.

Mauritian Villa on the Vaal River (Willows Way)

KevinRating, 5 stars2 months ago

This is a private and beautiful location with the on-site expectations fully fulfilled. The staff are friendly and efficient. The multiple entertainment areas and very significant fridge space and facilities ensured our birthday celebration weekend was a smash hit for all. We missed not having a boat to enjoy the river more fully.

Waters Edge @ 323

AzharRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Amazing!!! George the housekeeper on premises was on point and was always there. Great for a family get together of 14-15 people and built in such a way that everyone has their own space with beautiful views of the dam. House and surrounding gardens are immaculate.

We had a superb stay in Clarens. The accommodation was even better than the descriptors indicated. We will definitely be back and were absolutely delighted with every aspect of our stay. This was a great decision to visit Clarens and to stay at Fanie’s Cottage.

Spectacular ECO - home on the Vaal Dam Waterfront

TshepisoRating, 5 stars1 month ago

My friends and I had a wonderful stay. The place was exactly as advertised and Christopher was very responsive when we had any queries. The house is beautiful and the area is peaceful. The only recommendation I have is to maybe have blinds in the rooms for some privacy ;) otherwise we had a lovely time!

Henley River Lodge

MarethaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We all had a wonderful stay at Peter and Sheelagh's place. Everything we expected and more. The location was perfect, peaceful and close to family . The property is well equipped, super clean and private. We were welcomed by Margaret who managed the property. What a wonderful lady, always a phone call or message away. She was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, it almost felt we left a family member behind on the day we left. Thank you for a wonderful stay at Henley River Lodge.
