Second time and won't be the last. The best way to rejuvenate the soul. My piece of heaven.

The log cabin is right on the bank of the river and was a lovely place to stay.
The surroundings are peaceful and really enjoyable.

Beautiful place to get away from city life.
Spectacular view of mountain and river. The cottage where we stayed was on the bank of the river and a walking distance to the mountain range. The place is buzzing with life with a vast array of birds populating the area. At night the place is welcomed by the sounds of different species of frogs at the river. A truly remarkable sound for a nature lover. We were treated to 5 star hospitality. Before arrival we were contacted as to the time we would arrive.

A truly remarkable sound for a nature lover. We were treated to 5 star hospitality. Before arrival we were contacted as to the time we would arrive. At the place we found complimentary condiments with a freshly baked bread and fruits on the table. The place was in a very neat and clean condition upon arrival. We found enough wood and firelighters for us to use. I can only compliment the place on its sterling comfort except for the sleeper couch which was very uncomfortable to sleep on. Other than that I found the place to be a piece of Eden where we could enjoy a peaceful tranquility and a beautiful experience of nature. Thank you again for an awesome time at The River Siding.

A quiet getaway that is very well-appointed.
Our group of friends really enjoyed The Riversiding getaway. Meagan was super helpful with our arrival. The atmosphere is peaceful and a real escape.
'n Rustige wegbreekplekkie wat baie goed ingerig is.
Ons groep vriende het The Riversiding wegbreek baie geniet. Meagan was super behulpsaam met ons aankoms. Die atmosfeer is rustig en 'n regte ontsnapping.

Had a wonderful time. Quiet, safe and private. Close to Ceres and Tulbagh. Unlimited free Wi-Fi definitely a bonus.
Lindsay V - Jul 2019
Absolutely loved the spot, clean mountain air, outdoorsy place and beautiful cosy cabin.
The River Siding was the perfect choice for a relaxing 2 nights with mountains on either side and a river in the middle. Peaceful and private, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A few minutes to Ceres town to go eat, grab a coffee or a drink. The cabin is beautiful, clean, all the right items are at hand. Thank you for having us, me and my 2 daughters enjoyed it thoroughly. We will definitely be back again next year.

I was impressed by the cleanliness, location and customer service. The facility did provide value for money. Not sure about safety.
This is an ideal place to really have quality time with a partner. We really had a wonderful time without disruption of TV.

Beautiful nature and peaceful farm atmosphere.
The area is amazing and the peacefulness of the farm is perfect. Chalet is comfortable and well-equipped.
Pragtige natuurskoon en rustige plaasatmosfeer.
Die natuurskoon is besonders, en die rustigheid van die plaas komplimenteer dit. Chalet wag baie gerieflik en goed ingerig.

Cute little house, very basic but neat. Peaceful and nice to experience the farm life.
Oulike huisie, baie basies, maar netjies. Rustig en lekker om die plaaslewe te ervaar.

Absoluut fantasties! Prentjie-boek mooi!
Wegbreek uit die stadslewe, maak verseker 'n nota rakende River Siding, Cottage 2. Absoluut ongelooflik netjies, alles en meer wat jy kan benodig! Die ligging is pragtig! Omring met berge en die huisie is weggesteek tussen bome en natuurskoon! Ons was aangenaam verras met ons paasbolletjies en paaseiers in kombuis ─ attention to the finer detail. Genoeg hout was reeds voorsien! Melk, koffie suiker, sout en pepper was ook voorsien! Ons het vir ure gestap tussen die vrugteboorde en langs die rivier! Kon nie genoeg foto's neem nie! Ons honde-kinders ...

Die voorman, Kevin het die sleutels kom aflaai en was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam! Megan, dankie vir al jou hulp gedurende die bespreking van ons eenheid, en dat jy al my vragies beantwoord het voor ons aankoms! Kyk na die sterre, 10/10!

Truly a piece of paradise - away from the hustle and bustle of the city! Thank you for your hospitality - the chocolate and wine for Valentine's Day was a great treat!
Voorwaar 'n stukkie paradys - weg van die stad se gewoel! Baie dankie vir jul gasvryheid - die sjokolade en wyn vir Valentynsdag was sommer 'n groot bederf!

It was one of the best breakaway sessions we've ever experienced.
Riverside is quiet and calm, all you hear is crickets. The cottages are far from other people so you are by no means heard or seen by others, and are therefore completely private. The area is very nice, with nice weather and a calm atmosphere. There is a nice braai and swimming pool and a river just a stone's throw away. The surrounding area has wine farms and restaurants and is close to Ceres if you want to go out the day. But to spend the whole day at the rondavel is just as nice as you can light a fire and lie in the pool. What is also very helpful ...

We really enjoyed it and were really rested after our time there. And we will definitely go back in the future. Thank you so much for a nice stay. It was worth every penny.
Dit was een van die lekkerste wegbreeksessies wat ons nog ervaar het.
Riverside is stil en rustig, al wat jy hoor is krieke. Die huisies is ver geleë van ander mense so jy word geensins deur ander gehoor of gesien nie, en is dus heeltemal privaat. Die omgewing is vreeslik mooi, met lekker weer en 'n kalm atmosfeer. Daar is 'n oulike braaiplekkie en swembad en 'n rivier net 'n klipgooi weg. Die omliggende omgewing het wynplase en restaurante en is naby aan Ceres geleë, indien jy die dag wou uitgaan. Maar om heeldag by die rondawel te kuier is net so lekker, want jy kan 'n vuurtjie aansteek en in die swembadjie lê. ...

Wat ook vreeslik help is dat daar WiFi gratis is, indien die kinders 'n fliek wil kyk of so in die aand. Ons het dit regtig geniet en was regtig uitgerus na ons tydjie daar. En ons sal definitief teruggaan in die toekoms. Baie dankie vir 'n lekker bly. Dit was elke sent werd.

Megan was very friendly and helpful, loved all the extras waiting for us! Was great to just sit next to the river and chill! Beautiful and peaceful setting!
Megan was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam, was mal oor al die ekstras wat vir ons gewag het! Was heerlik om net langs die rivier te sit en chill! Pragtige en rustige setting!
Juanita S - Dec 2018
Tranquil en relaxing environment.
Baie mooi en lieflike omgewing. Plek is so mooi skoon en het dit baie geniet. Beplan klaar ons volgende besoek.
Goeie dag Juanita, baie dankie vir die mooi terugvoering. Julle is baie welkom om weer te kom kuier. Vriendelike groete, Megan van The Riversiding.
Amelia F - Oct 2018
Wonderlik. In die natuur.
Ons het in die log cabin gebly. Heerlik op die rivier. Het klein kinders so was baie bly oor die heining om die erf. Baie mooi en rustige omgewing.
Goeie dag Amelia,
Sien uit om julle weer hier te hê.

Lovely rustic cottage on the banks of Breede river.
Stunning setting, lovely rustic cottage which was well equipped and very clean and the little extras of banana loaf with butter left and milk in the fridge made it extra special. We wish we could have stayed longer!
Dear Gayle, thank you for the lovely review. We are looking forward to having you back. Kind regards, Megan at The River Siding.
Samantha W - Oct 2018
The River Siding laat my woordeloos Ek het my tyd daar geniet, was wel kort, maar sal binnekort weer gaan kuier. Dit is 'n pragtige plekkie. Sal dit aanbeveel.
Goeie dag Samantha, dankie vir die goeie terugvoering. Ons sien uit om julle weer hier te hê. Vriendelike groete, Megan van The Riversiding.
Lex K - Aug 2018
Pragtige omgewing. Ideaal vir 2 persone met troeteldiere.
Aanwysing na plek laat veel te wense oor. Baie stil en rustig, totdat hordes mense oorkant die rivier opgedaag het en harde musiek gespeel het tot ongeveer 01:00 die volgende oggend. Slaapplek was ongewens vir 4 mense. Nie lekker om 1 slaapkamer te deel met 'n derde persoon nie. Vierde slaapplek/bed moes self opgeslaan en opgemaak word in die kombuis/eetkamer/sitkamer gedeelte en nie genoeg leefarea oorgelaat nie. Voordeur sluitingsmeganisme nie ideaal nie en onmoontlik om sonder lawaai uit te gaan na badkamer toe gedurende die nag. Bad het geen ...

A tranquil harbour.
A home that is close to nature. The only regret is that we cannot see the snow of this winter. We will come back next winter, hoping to see the beautiful snow.
Dear Weizhong W,
Thank your lovely feedback.
We are looking forward seeing you next winter.

Odette D - Jul 2018
We really enjoyed the stay at The River Siding. We were just looking for tranquillity and to just relax and the area and accommodation make it possible.
Ons het regtig die verblyf geniet by The Rivier Siding. Ons het juis vir rustigheid gesoek en om net te ontspan en die gebied en verblyf maak dit moontlik.
Baie dankie vir die terugvoering, ek is bly julle het lekker gekuier by ons. Dis altyd goed om positiewe terugvoering te kry.
Wouter K - Jun 2018
Ons het die naweek geniet. Die ligging is goed en die rivier buite jou deur laat jou voel of jy diep in die wildernis is. Genoeg vuur-/kaggelhout word voorsien en 'n tuisgemaakde brood is 'n lekker verrassing.
Jan M - Feb 2018
In die winter kan die toilet by The River Siding nogal onplesierig wees vir oumense wat in die nag moet opstaan omdat jy basies buite-om moet loop. Ons toer dikwels en daarom kan ek vergelyk: meer modern chalets met en suit-fasiliteite, lugversorging en TV, langs bv. die N7, is bykans R300 goedkoper. Ek meen The River Siding is nie goeie waarde vir geld nie.
Ulla E - Jan 2018
Dit is 'n pragtige plekkie om te ontspan en weg te kom van die gejaagde stadslewe. Die huis is baie mooi skoon en alles wat 'n mens nodig het. Ons sal definitief teruggaan.
Hi Ulla, dit is altyd lekker om jou mooi terugvoering te lees. Julle is altyd welkom by The Riversding. Mooi bly! Megan at The Riversiding.
Gerrie V - Sep 2017
Wonderlik rustig, afgesonderd, ontspannend, pragtige natuurskoon.
Reeds ons tweede besoek, hierdie keer met ons drie volwasse kinders en vyf hondjies. Die moosite natuurskoon en omgewing, huisvesting/braaiarea etlike meters weg van die stilvloeiende rivier met kristalhelder water en skaduryke bome. Privaat. Ons almal gaan dit weer doen - en ons hondjies wou nie huistoe nie!
Hi Mr Vosser, lekker om van julle te hoor en dankie vir die goeie resensie. Kom kuier gerus weer. Mooi bly!!Megan at The Riversiding
Amanda V - Sep 2017
Beautiful and quiet next to the water.
We took our dogs and enjoyed a lovely, peaceful weekend. Going jogging and cycling between the orchards and along the river. They provide plenty of wood. Could make fire inside and outside. Really nice for a weekend.
Pragtig en rustig langs die water.
Ons het ons honde saamgeneem en 'n heerlike rustige naweek geniet. Het gaan draf en fietsry tussen die boorde en langs rivier. Hulle voorsien oorgenoeg hout. Kon vuur binne en buite maak. Regtig lekker vir 'n naweek.
Dit is altyd lekker om te hoor julle het dit geniet hier by ons. Kom kuier gerus gou weer!!
Ulla E - Aug 2017
Ongelooflike wegbreek in die natuur, maar tog nog by alles.
Die huisie is pragtig, skoon en goed toegerus. Die eienaar het aan alles gedink en meer. Ons kan nie wag om weer te gaan kuier nie en ek het reeds en sal nog baie die plekkie aan my kolegas en vriende aanbeveel.
Hi Ulla, Dankie vir die goeie resensie. Sal lekker wees om julle weer hier te hê. Bespreek gerus vir julle volgende kuier.

Outside toilets could be a problem for some, but a great situation otherwise.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and whatever small problems we had were quickly resolved. The position of the cottages is idyllic but being on a working fruit farm the one in which we stayed had farm machinery moving past from early morning. Cottage was well equipped and there was plentiful wood for both the indoor fire and the braai, the latter being situated on the banks of the river. Surrounding countryside is majestic and plenty of small wine farms to visit as well as Ceres and Tulbach.
Thank you for your review and it was just a pleasure assisting you with the minor problems. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay.
Charmaine D - May 2017
This is my re-chargeble battery place. Love the serenity of the place, calmness of the river and the cozy cottage.
If I need to recharge this is the place I go to out of town on an working farm. Cottage is small and cozy, all private. I go there at least twice a year.
Hi Charmaine, thank you for your lovely review. It was a pleasure having you here. See you soon for the next visit. Keep well, Megan at The Riversiding

Ontspanne atmosfeer en baie mooi omgewing.
Baie dankie vir die goeie terugvoering. Dit was lekker om julle hier te kon ontvang. Kom gerus weer!
Jacques V - Dec 2016
Lovely accommodation and beautiful area.
Heerlike blyplek en pragtige omgewing.
Baie bly julle het dit geniet! Kom gerus weer, julle is meer as welkom :)
Cherie P - May 2016
Goeie diens maar verblyf teleurstellend.
Die kliëntediens was baie vriendelik en goed maar die verblyf teleurstellend. Stort was baie vuil en slymerig. Kombuistoerusting was vuil. Huis word geadverteer vir 4 mense, maar dis eerder vir 2 grootmense en kinders. Nie waarde vir geld nie en dit is na aan die hoofpad geleë en die verkeer laat mens nie eintlik voel of mens wegbreek nie.
Berlinda N - Apr 2016
Heerlike plaas-wegbreek omring met pragtige berge, bome en rivier.
Baie vriendelik ontvang deur Elizna. Die hout was beslis 'n bonus, ons kon heerlik buite in die lapa braai en toe die reën oor ons toesak kon ons die kaggel/braai binne gebruik - heerlik! Die klein bederfies soos beskuit, appels en natuurlik die tuisgemaakte broodjie is 'n wenner. Dankie julle, ons sal beslis weer kom.
Dit was baie lekker om julle te kon ontmoet en om julle by ons te ontvang.
Kom gerus enige tyd weer! (Die rivier is nou weer lekker vol)
Freddie B - Aug 2015
'n Regte plaasatmosfeer met baie hout vir vuurmaak en braai.
Petro D - Jun 2015
Pragtige plekkie. 'n Ware paradys!
Ons het heerlik gebly in River Siding, al was dit koud. Die kaggel het al die winterkoue verdryf. Die uitsig is asemrowend. Sal beslis weer daar gaan bly. Alles is pragtig, skoon, gerieflik en netjies.
Charmaine D - Jun 2015
Stunning cozy re-loading the inner peace little place.
This is my hide away little place my hubby knows when I need to re-load to bring me here. Since you stop till you leave its peace, birds singing and the river cobbling away. I just love this place. We've spend the past weekend with some friend their and had quite a bit of fun. Highly recommended I must say... to find your "inner peace".
Rose K - Sep 2014
Perfect getaway in the middle of the mountains!
We had the most amazing time as a family here - great for riding bikes - a solid hike to the rock art - not for the lazy - most amazing setting next to a flowing river and the best braai ever! The best part is that it is not so far from Cape Town and the drive to and from is just incredibly beautiful! We will definitely be back soon!
Elsabé P - Jun 2014
Dit was perfek, rustig en die moeite werd.
The River Siding was fantasties en 'n belewenis. Dit was net wat 'n mens nodig het om uit die gejaag van die stad en groot dorpe uit te kom. Ek sal hulle definitief aanbeveel vir mense.
Lee-ann R - May 2014
Outstanding location and fantastic service - would have loved to have stayed longer !
Loved it! Very well organized and we lacked for nothing!
