Alles was 100% perfek, lieflike geriewe en 'n baie skoon en netjiesie eenheid wat ons in 'n lang tyd ervaar het. Volpunte vir alles! Beurtkrag was 'n bietjie moeilik vir my wat op suurstof is, maar anders as dit is die plekkie ten volle voorberei vir enige donkerte. 'n Groot dankie aan Dominique vir haar gasvryheid en bitter goeie kommunikasie. Ons sal virseker weer gaan kuier en aanbeveel.

Ek wil graag voorstel dat julle die website 'n filter byvoeg sodat mens kan sien watter plekke, "inverters/sonpanele" beskikbaar het. Ek is 'n kankerpasiënt op suurstof en dis nogal belankrik deesdae. Verder was alles puik en nog meer!

Everything was 100% perfect, lovely amenities and a very clean and tidy unit that we have experienced in a long time. Full marks for everything! Gravity was a bit difficult for me who is on oxygen, but other than that the place is fully prepared for any darkness. A big thank you to Dominique for her hospitality and very good communication. We will definitely visit again and recommend.

I would like to suggest that you add a filter to the website so that you can see which places have "inverters/solar panels" available. I'm a cancer patient on oxygen and that's pretty important these days. Everything else was great and more!

Cabin on the Touws.

This self-catering modern unit is situated close to the river, beautifully furnished and well maintained. The view from the top and bottom deck was lovely and made morning coffee extra special. The river is perfect for canoeing and a nice way to do birdwatching while exploring the area. The check-in process was easy and communication from the host was great. We loved our stay and would recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing holiday.

Baie lekker en rustig met mooi rivieruitsig.

Dominique was 'n uitstekende gasvrou wat alles baie mooi verduidelik het en heeltyd beskikbaar was om vrae te beantwoord, en alles was op hulle plek, netjies en skoon. Geen vals bemarking nie, dit was soos beskryf. My vrou, kinders en ek het dit terdeë geniet om 2 aande hierdie pragtige houthuis ons "eie" te kon noem en die rustigheid in 'n veilige omgewing te kon geniet. Sal beslis weer hier bespreek en kan dit hoogs aanbeveel.

Will definitely book here again and can highly recommend.

Verruklik. Sielsverkwikkend.

Touching Touws River Lodge is 'n wonderlike plek om vakansie te hou. Die huis het al die nodige geriewe (en meer) en is ook baie goed ingerig vir beurtkrag. Die kamers is ruim, die kombuis 'n fees en die stoep perfek om die dae te verwyl. Die braai is ideaal en mens is steeds deel van die geselskap as jy by die vuur staan. Die internet is goed en Netlfix is 'n bonus! Pirates Creek (waar Touching Touws geleë is), is naby aan alles en die perfekte plek om die wildernis vanaf te verken. Die uitsig oor die rivier voed 'n mens se siel en dis ook heerlik om met die kanoe op die boot te vaar of in die rivier te swem. Kinders kan ook lekker fietsry in die kompleks en daar's ook 'n omheinde swembad. Dominique is 'n fantastiese gasvrou en uiters behulpsaam. Ons gaan beslis weer teruggaan!

Delightful. Soul invigorating.

Touching Touws River Lodge is a wonderful place to holiday. The house has all the necessary amenities (and more) and is also very well equipped for load shedding. The rooms are spacious, the kitchen a feast and the porch perfect for while away the days. The braai is ideal and you are still part of the company when you stand by the fire. The internet is good and Netlfix is a bonus! Pirates Creek (where Touching Ropes is located) is close to everything and the perfect place to explore the wilderness from. The view of the river feeds one's soul and it is also wonderful to sail on the boat with the canoe or to swim in the river. Children can also enjoy cycling in the complex and there is also an enclosed swimming pool. Dominique is a fantastic hostess and extremely helpful. We will definitely go back again!

Wonderful cabin on the banks of the Touws River.

A beautifully equipped and lovely lodge. We really enjoyed our stay here, and paddling up the Touws river was a great bonus to do with the canoe already available. It was a breeze staying here with load shedding - more than enough emergency lanterns, extra lights and the gas stove to cook on too. Very good attention to detail, everything is beautiful and high quality - from the bedroom to bathroom to kitchen - a lot of effort and thought must have been put in to make this place so nice. Everything 5/5 stars, except location, I could only give 4/5 - on the Touws river and beach nearby was great - the only downfall was the noise from the N2 highway running behind. Service and communication from Dominique was excellent and clear. Thanks again, Dominique!

Excellent location. Great comfort.

Touching Touws has become my favourite place in the Wilderness area. The location is excellent, in close proximity to the beach and on the banks of the Touws River. The unit was clean, and has everything to make one's stay enjoyable. Including additional blankets, heaters for the colder nights and several emergency lights for the load shedding bouts. Wifi, Netflix, board games and the use of a private canoe are all a huge bonus. I highly recommend Touching Touws and will definitely return.

Baie lekker gebly in gerieflike, goed toegeruste, gemaklike, skoon huis met goeie sekuriteit.

Naby strand, lagoon winkelsentrum en uiteetplekke. Enigste ding wat bietjie gepla het was die geraas snags van voertuie op die pad (N2) wat reg agter die huis loop.
