It was a great stay. It was a lovely venue which was very secure. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. They provided access to streaming accounts such as Netflix without any additional charges which was a pleasant surprise.

Ticks all the boxes for an amazing family break. peace & tranquil, yet all the adventure sports if requied. I would deffinately recommed Ottors Haunt to anyone interested in a break from the city stress. A great family holiday with something for everyone and any age. We had the best time. I just loved kayaking on the river, walks to the quarry and just relaxing around a warm fire. Next time I will do the river rafting. I will certainly be back.

Cozy and peaceful. Damian is very friendly. The bath is amazing. Gas appliance for cooking works well. Wifi available. Fish were rare due to all the rain, but overall very nice stay. Amazing bathtub in our room. And our dog was welcome.

Gesellig en vreedsaam. Damian is baie vriendelik. Die bad is amazing. Gastoestel vir kosmaak werk lekker. Wifi beskikbaar. Visse was skaars weens al die rëen, maar oor die algemeen baie lekker gebly. Amazing bad in ons kamer. En ons hondjie was welkom.

So blissful by the waters. Had a great time. Felt safe, kids explored the island across the river. Fresh air, beautiful stars and lots of bird sounds.

Salig so by die waters. Baie lekker gekuier. Het veilig gevoel, kinders het die eiland oorkant die rivier verken. Vars lug, mooi sterre en klomp voël geluide.

It was wonderful seeing your family appreciating and exploring the nature. Thank you

Dit was wonderlik om te sien hoe jou gesin die natuur waardeer en verken het. Dankie

Ultimately it catered to our needs but a little bare bones. We had a good time but the place was a little more run down than we expected. We explicitly asked if the TV in the house could connect to DStv, but the TV is too old to even load the application. It's not supported anymore. Only one outside shower is available, and there is low pressure for warm water in the main house. Even with all these drawbacks, we still had fun staying there for the weekend. It was just a little more bare bones than we expected.

Thank you for your visit, Armandt. You were able to watch the rugby on another TV. DStv has recently stopped servicing Hisense TV models. The Otters Den river house is advertised as having bathrooms. Our staff went above and beyond cleaning behind you guys. You clearly enjoyed your stay. We will look into your other points.

Disappointed. The house is very close to the Vaal River and the atmosphere is peaceful and friendly. The whole place looks run down and the photos were definitely taken many years ago.

Teleurgesteld. Die huis is baie naby aan die Vaalrivier en die atmosfeer is rustig en vriendelik. Die hele plek lyk vervalle en die fotos is beslis baie jare terug geneem.

Dear Janet, The photos were taken in August 2022, prior to the flood that came through the house in February 2023. There are still a few things to attend to. Otters Haunt's advertising is rustic and close to nature.

Liewe Janet, Die foto's is in Augustus 2022 geneem, voor die vloed wat in Februarie 2023 deur die huis gekom het. Daar is nog 'n paar dinge om aan aandag te gee. Otters Haunt se advertensies is rustiek en na aan die natuur.

Overnight (luckily). Not necessarily fantastic. Not really. Too many mosquitoes and the fridge and kitchen are on the porch. The place is a bit neglected.

Oornag (gelukkig). Nie noodwendig fantasties nie. Nie regtig nie. Te veel muskiete en die yskas en kombuis is op die stoep. Die plek is bietjie verwaarloos.

Overpriced, run down. Honestly, this accommodation was very overpriced. The whole property, including the unit, was quite dilapidated and run down. I would have expected to pay half what we paid for what we got, which put a damper on the experience because I expected more. The unit was not properly cleaned - cobwebs and dust everywhere. The whole property is so well situated near the river and could be such a lovely place if it was better looked after. If I had paid half, then I would have been less disappointed.

Good morning Nicola, Thank you for your comments. Otters' Haunt is close to nature. Unfortunately, we were in the midst of two family emergencies and some details may have been overlooked.

Ideal for a short break - Comfortable and value for money. There is plenty to do other than swimming, canoeing, walking and resting. Just being able to linger in the beauty of nature definitely recharged our batteries. There is nothing missing regarding the hospitality, friendliness and helpfulness of the owners. It was a privilege.

Ideaal vir 'n kort wegbreek - Gerieflik en waarde vir geld. Daar is genoeg om te doen, anders as swem, kano, stap en rus. Net om in die prag van die natuur te kon vertoef het beslis ons batterye herlaai. Daar ontbreek niks aangaande die gasvryheid, vriendelikheid en hulpvaardigheid van die eienaars. Dit was 'n voorreg.
