"a truly African experience"
19 October 2015"From booking to our stay and finally checking out, Johann made us feel so special. The River House is a collection of a lifetime and there are to many things to take in at one stay, i recommend going several times ;) Eclectic, inviting, interesting, historical, creative and welcoming are just a few descriptive of the lodge and its owner. The view from the deck and rooms is exceptional, and the collection of wildlife, just wondering past, is exquisite. LOVED it and would recommend everyone experience this.<br />"

"A cryptic review"
27 September 2015"Our stay at River House Lodge hinges on two opinions. Firstly the service was superior. The two Johans know how to serve and make their quests feel at home. Well done! However the lodge itself projects a feeling of sombreness. It is dark with outdated furniture and linen. A new and fresh upgrade will serve the lodge with wonders"

"Perfect, elegant and different"
26 July 2006"River House Lodge is a perfect place to mix business and pleasure. Stayed with my partner to work and to take inspiration from the fantastic wildlife just across the Crocodile River - opposite the resort. Surroundings and interior are fantastic and the service outstanding. The landlords are men of the world and very informative about what to see and do."
