Nestled within the picturesque landscape, River Rock Lodge proved to be a tranquil haven that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the lodge's rustic charm and the serene beauty of its surroundings. Our cabin, a cozy retreat tucked amidst the trees, welcomed us with its clean and comfortable interiors, offering a sanctuary of warmth and relaxation. As we settled in, we found ourselves enveloped by the soothing ambiance, far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life. The tranquility that pervaded the lodge was nothing short of magical, inviting us to unwind, recharge, and reconnect with nature's serene rhythms. With each passing moment, we were reminded of the timeless allure of this hidden gem, where every breath seemed to infuse our souls with a sense of peace and contentment. Our stay at River Rock Lodge was an unforgettable experience, a harmonious blend of comfort, serenity, and natural beauty that left an indelible mark on our hearts.

River Rock Lodge proved to be an exquisite sanctuary where meticulous attention to detail transformed every aspect into a masterpiece, evoking a profound sense of contentment and absolute satisfaction.

The place is serene, good for when you want to disconnect from the world and just be one with nature. It’s a good place to spend with your loved one, my partner and I enjoyed it so much and we would really come back. The staff was very welcoming and pleasant

The flies, mosquitoes and insects. I’m afraid of spiders and i was paranoid the first day because my partner killed one big spider upon our arrival. After that it was better. The insect repellent spray really helped

Great location. Easy to find and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The unit had all the comforts we needed and was very clean and comfy. We liked the Privacy of the unit we stayed in.(Unit 12)

Better lightning at the barbecue. There is alight, but to low for the light to reach the barbecue area, Normal dining type table and chairs outside on the patio. The barstool type chairs are not comfortable for shorter people.

The level of service and communication provided was truly commendable. I particularly appreciated the team's prompt and efficient responses, which significantly contributed to a seamless experience throughout our stay. I had requested a special arrangement during my visit, and I was delighted by the team's willingness and proactive approach in fulfilling my request promptly and without any inconvenience. The serene ambiance of the area coupled with the tranquil atmosphere at River Rock Resort provided a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, creating a relaxing environment that greatly enhanced our overall experience.

Due to the recent heat wave, there was a slight issue with ants in the area where the snacks and champagne were prepared. We were able to resolve it swiftly without any significant disruption to our enjoyment.

Location, natural environment, serenity. Beautiful rooms and well equipped kitchen. Very friendly and attentive staff who go the extra mile to make you comfortable. Heads up for Tilly 😘. Our chalets were upgraded at no extra cost.

As a romantic destination, it’s Not too accommodating for groups. Especially the noise policy. The wardrobe in one cabin was not realistic for two people. Housekeeping is not standard- it carries additional cost. No Extra towels.

Lovely setting, peaceful and quiet in the bush. Feels quite private due to the orientation of the chalet. Well appointed, didn't need anything. Stunning pool area. Will definitely visit again. Parking under the trees. Love the natural surroundings rather than a formal garden.

Water pressure, curtain rails need to be upgraded. Put a stepping stone in the flower bed to make access to vehicle in lower parking easier.

I loved the customer service we were upgraded for no extra cost. The staff were so friendly and the rooms were beautiful and comfortable. I will definitely be back in the future. They made sure we were nice and warm since it becomes cold at the river in winter and made us feel at ease.

I think we could have had better TV programs maybe DSTV or at least the full openview but it was still an amazing stay with no complaints just thoughts.

The Lodge is situated just outside (less than a km) the town so you don’t have the regular noise issue most others in town have. The room is beautifully decorated for its price with all the needed amenities. The allowed late check-in and early check-out as we were on the road. Will definitely book there again.

The room looks out to the reception building right in-front of it so if you’re planning on staying a few days you wont have that much privacy or a beautiful view. Didnt bother us though as we arrived a little late and left early.
