Fantastic and relaxing few days in a beautiful spot. We spent 4 nights in this idyllic spot with a beautiful view of the Orange River and surrounding mountains. Stayed in Cottage No 1, which was clean, well equipped (only complaint would be that a bread knife would have been useful) and comfortable. Jenny and her husband are wonderful hosts and we were even presented with a delicious freshly baked loaf of bread on our third night there. We made use of the kayaks, although like some previous guests, getting out of the kayak from deep water onto the bank proved quite challenging! The accommodation is right next to the reserve, so it was easy to take walks into the reserve to enjoy the beautiful Richtersveld scenery.

Great value, great location. Although rustic, we found the accommodation to be very comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay immensely. The only small gripe is that it is very difficult for us in our mid seventies to get in and out of the kayak. A rope attached to something solid would have helped. We enjoyed walking into the Richtersveld National Park, which is less than 100m away. The stunning beauty was such that we could not help but stare.

A challenging drive, but worth it to reach heaven on earth. We'll be back! If you aren't religious before you drive here in a two-wheel-drive car (in our case a 1989 Nissan 1400 Bakkie), you will be when you hit the road – but heaven awaits the traveller. Riversun Retreat is a piece of paradise! My hubby and I are veteran road-trippers and this is one of the most stunning places we've ever stayed at. An exquisite location and one of the most well-appointed cottages we have ever stayed in, with a charming, hospitable hostess! Overnighting doesn't do the experience justice. Next time we'll stay for a week! Thank you.

Nice, beautiful, too far from the border, bad road. The unit is located in a fantastic location, but the dirt road to get there is challenging when you drive a car that is not a van. The water wasn't hot either, but after I let them know that this was a problem, it was quickly looked into. We arrived there very late in the evening and the hostess stayed awake to receive us kindly despite the late hour. The view is amazing over the Orange River and I will definitely try to book a river view unit next time. We did look for a place just through the border and didn't realize it was so far from the border, but for a holiday destination I would definitely recommend it.

Lekker, mooi, te ver vanaf die grens, slegte pad. Die eenheid is op 'n fantastiese plek geleë, maar die grondpad daarheen is uitdagend wanneer jy met 'n motor ry wat nie 'n bakkie is nie. Die water was ook nie warm nie, maar nadat ek laat weet het dat dit 'n probleem is, is daar spoedig daarna gekyk. Ons het baie laat die aand daar aangekom en die gasvrou het wakker gebly om ons ten spyte van die laat uur steeds vriendelik te ontvang. Die uitsig is ongelooflik oor die Oranjerivier en ek sal beslis volgende keer 'n rivieruitsig eenheid probeer bespreek. Ons het wel 'n plek net deur die grens gesoek en nie besef dat dit so ver van die grens af is nie, maar vir 'n vakansiebestemming sal ek dit definitief aanbeveel.

Bonny, thank you for being wonderful guests and thank you for your feedback. A special thank you for leaving your unit tidy. Admittedly, the road was at its worst, and was only beautifully scraped last week. I would recommend places closer to the border post anytime. Bonny, we hope to see you again soon for a wonderful breakaway team holiday!

Bonny, dankie julle was pragtige gaste en dankie vir jou terugvoering. 'n Spesiale dankie dat julle jul eenheid netjies agtergelaat het. Die pad was weliswaar op sy slegste, en is eers laasweek pragtig geskraap. Ek sal enige tyd plekke nader aan die grenspos aanbeveel. Bonny, hoop ons sien julle gou weer vir 'n heerlike wegbreek uitspan vakansie!

Wonderful weather, clean, peaceful, real peace of mind. Peaceful break from busy city life, plenty to keep yourself busy and explore.

Wonderlike weer, skoon, rustig, regte sielsrus. Rustige wegbreek van die besige stadslewe, baie om jouself mee besig te hou en te verken.

Visit was nice, awesome view. Would recommend it. We had a great stay at Riversun Retreat. Units were neatly furnished. Only unit 2 needed bathroom facilities and a pool.

Kuier was lekker, awesome view. Sal dit aanbeveel. Ons het lekker gebly by Riversun Retreat. Eenhede was netjies ingerig. Net eenheid 2 het 'n badkamergeriewe en 'n swembad nodig gehad.
