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.".

The Rivier-Houthuis is a very pleasant place by the river, just 30 minutes from JHB. There are activities to participate in in the area. We enjoyed ourselves a lot. Leenster is a hostess-thousand. She made us feel comfortable, and prepared the most delicious food. Our kids couldn't get enough of the place. The place is a real "cottage in the woods" with everything you need. Would definitely recommend it. Thank you Leenster and Casper.

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.

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!

Exceptional hospitality.
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.

The pinnacle of hospitality! Thank you Leenster and Casper!
The Rivier-Houthuis is located in the most peaceful and beautiful environment next to the river. We would have liked to have spent more time enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and getting to know all the animals. 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!
