Would not recommend. You don't want to struggle when you need to rest.
Arrived, then the attendant didn't know where Rambling Rapids was. Every evening 18:00 to 20:00 municipal load shedding. The WiFi only worked the first night, then it was done. We weren't even home during the day. The last night the pre-paid power was finished. Owner forgot to buy power, when I called him 5x he didn't pick up. Only when I contacted you, then he came back to me and sent a number that I have to load on the pre-paid power.

Too expensive for what you get and would not recommend, the photos are very seductive.
The living unit was a bit below expectations. The rooms were too cramped and needed a lot of work. The walls at the bed's headboard were very ugly. The floors were sticky and dirty because they are cement floors. The color of the walls darkens the rooms even more. The one shower head was so close to the wall and faucets that you almost had to stand against the wall to rinse. The hot water faucet head was also loose and leaking water and was then difficult to turn on. There was only a curtain covering the toilet's entrance. It is not worth the money at all. I would think it should be around R700.00 per night. The cement floors were cracked and the wall by the fridge where the broom and mop stood was very dirty. The beds didn't sleep well either.

Very pleasant, the house is wonderfully warm and has everything you need for a weekend getaway. The filter coffee for the coffee machine was a bonus! The location is good so you can easily walk to the restaurants and shops.
One recommendation is that a safety gate/Trellidoor should be installed at the door in the driveway. The door is locked with a lock and chain and does not engage well in the tracks below. The wind was quite strong one day and the door opened (like a concertina) as far as the chain would allow. The fridge is not working 100% - the freezer is ok but the fridge temperature is not so good.

Feeling very unsafe.
There is no carpeting. Cement floors. The bedding is not ironed at all and not good quality. No street number or the cottage's name visible or posted. Difficulty finding the place. The showers do not have containers for soap or shampoo. Shower doors don't close. Generally an unkempt place. With a little attention and spending it can be a beautiful place. It's the first time in all these years that a place to stay has disappointed me. Would definitely not recommend the place.

Disappointing, rip off actually.
We were bitterly disappointed. We considered driving back on Friday but yes fuel is expensive, it was my husband's 66th birthday on Saturday and even the kids were shocked at what we paid. There is a busy road in front of the house, which does not get quiet, which does not show in photos. Beggars are constantly standing by the low front wall if you sit on the porch. The kamma green lawns in photos are meters high bushes, grass and weeds that make you cannot see river. Fishing spot is who knows where and full of drunk people, rubbish lying everywhere. Bathrooms were dirty. There are bats in roof that move in and out of loft openings and make noises and scurry all the time. There are 2 old women sitting diagonally across the road on the porch all day, my grandchild's shoe accidentally fell over the wall, the neighbors were not at home. She climbed over the wall to get a shoe. Immediately then I got calls and WhatsApp that neighbors reported that we were climbing into other yard. Should I have left the shoe there? We are grandma and grandpa, not burglars! I am actually so upset and disappointed, will not book through you guys again. For us, R2400 is a lot of money. I took pictures of how it really is.

The location is not ideal, dirty, windows that cannot close.
We were surprised when we arrived. The pictures show a pool, and there is none. Also, the pictures don't show the whole place from the outside, just the inside. There are not many cupboards in the kitchen. Bedding has stains on it (yellow spots). One cannot see the street between the house and the river in the photos. There is no lawn. Every morning one has to sweep up the bat droppings and wipe them off sofas and tables. The walls are moldy, there are cobwebs in the door frames and roof. Loft smells like rat/bat urine. Shower doors broken or not closing. Kitchen faucet left. I will investigate better next time.

Unfortunately I didn't feel very safe there.
Accommodation itself was neat and clean. The location unfortunately not. There is a road between the unit and the river. Road very busy. People use lawn opposite unit to have drinks and it intrudes on one's privacy. Hobos are a lot of trouble if you sit on the porch and we didn't feel comfortable getting out of the unit in the dark to open and close the gate.

Pleasant place to stay.
Accommodation was pleasant. Comfortable beds, lovely view of river. Lovely fireplace. It would have been a plus if there was firewood available on arrival. The whole place needs some TLC. It does not create a good impression that the one outer door is locked with a chain and lock. Would also have felt safer if the entrance gate to the premises could lock, as there is quite a walk through in the street in front of the house.

Even though the location of the property is fantastic, it is a bit unpractical.
It is a beautiful little place, but terribly impractical. The TV room in the loft is neat but it is a steep climb up the smooth, slippery stairs to get to the top. Because of this we never used the TV room. The kitchen sink is about chest/shoulder-height and so impossible to wash up. Also the kitchen counter top where food had to be prepared. I am a tall person and I had to get a little step to stand on. Short people (1,7 and shorter) will have difficulty. The accommodation is pleasant and the fact that our pets could go along was fantastic. All in all we enjoyed it very much. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback, this intrigued me so I measured the kitchen work surface and sink; both are the same. They are 110 cm in height, granted that's about 10 cm more than a usual work surface but not really a problem unless you are exceptionally short.
The steps are run of the mill steps as seen in the photos.

Very small yard, very busy street in front of the unit and no privacy due to the low wall in front of the house, no braai area, just one rusty braai in the corner of the yard. The river is close to the unit but you have to leave your unit and walk about 150m before you can fish, as mentioned there is a busy street between the unit and the river.

The majority of people love the location of this house, ideal for enjoying the town as well as being right by the river. If you are looking to be secluded and on your own, it would be best to book a lodge or farm outside town.

The stay was wonderful!
We had a wonderful stay, very central, beautiful view of the river. Everything possible needed for a pleasant stay. Were very hot fans could be beneficial. We needed an outside trash can. There was quite a flow of people begging a lot which invades one's privacy a bit. Very nice place for a family.

Die higiëne t.o.v badkamers, vloere en beddegoed was ongemaklik asook veiligheid is 'n risiko.

The hygiene of bathrooms, floors and bedding was uncomfortable and safety is a risk.
The bathrooms, showers and floors were not properly cleaned and the bedding was worn and didn't feel good. All the doors couldn't open so we could cool down and the tree on the braai-patio constantly made a mess. It is the only place on the street with a low wall over which passers-by can see or climb, so unsafe.

Parys is baie oulik, net jammer alles is toe op 'n Maandag en die cattage was 'n teleurstelling.

Paris is very cute, just a pity everything is closed on a Monday and the cattage was a disappointment.
The cottage is not clean. The rooms are extremely small and cramped. The bedding could really improve. The price is too high for what you get. The only place that was kind of good was the loft and the view of the river.

The River Cottage has potential but is in need of attention.

So sorry to hear this. It is no excuse but the house was very busy during December and as much as we do our very best to maintain our usual high level of standards it can be that on this occasion things were missed. My apologies again.

Hi Mandy.
The bats have been removed this week, apologies but as I’m sure you can appreciate they just decide where they want to be. The alarm is not for use by guests only if the house is left empty. Oven tray can only be a couple of months old but I will have a look and replace if needs be.

Nice visit, but bedrooms are not well equipped.
We had a great time. The meeting space is adequately equipped and spacious. The master bedroom is also acceptable. The second bedroom is cramped and the bathroom inadequately furnished.
