Forestiva Farm - River Cottage

Amazing! Wonderful!

Pros: The location is wild🥰🥰 No need to collect keys as the place is very secured so we got our property open and ready for us. Coming back very soon.

Cons: Nothing. Nothing to not like. Just needs a shop near!

Pros: The sceneries Nature Relaxing Very private Loved it

Perfect Place for a Short Honeymoon

Pros: We were met by the very friendly host who waste no time in explaining the various items to us. We enjoyed the scenic drive to the cabin, and we were very happy to see that it looks exactly like it does in the photos. Beautifully tucked away and private but provided a very calming atmosphere with the sounds of the river. We loved the hike to the mountain top, and we could here lions during sunset. All-in-all it was a great stay, and we will surely stay there again.

Cons: The interior was slightly dated but it did provide us with everything we needed. Being in the bush and next to the river, we had frequent visits from spiders and various bugs. It is best to close the widows during sunset to prevent the bugs from entering the house when the lights are on. My suggestion would be to bring some bug spray if some bugs do make it into the house. Also bring some Tupperware or sealable containers if you plan on staying more than a day.

Amazing stay!

Pros: Our stay was extremely comfortable. After a georgous hike, coming to the cottage to relax and listen to the river was amazing.

Cons: This is not something that can be changed lol, there were a few large rain spiders that kept us company in the cottage. One decided to come home with us.

Beautiful experience in natures hidden gem, beautiful surroundings with picture perfect views .

Pros: I loved the location, the drive there was a bit hard but driving an SUV helped and the fact that the host continued to communicate with us about the alternative route was a huge bonus . The environment is serene and peaceful and very private, falling asleep with the river flowing nearby that was a bonus, the greenery was just beautiful. there is no loadshedding wow 👌😊the kitchen is fully equipped with all we needed ,braai area is available just next to the river ,will definitely go back again soon

Cons: Just fixing the toilet bowl, but the bathroom is clean as a whole

Will go back againe. Was a gr8 place. Host.very.frindly and the river was making us felt relaxed.

Pros: The nature and die river and walking path. Loved the hot tub. The place was very clean and the host.was.very.friendly.

Pros: I love the entrance, was a bit scary that you gotta drive past the river, but love it. Felt like you are entering a magical world. With the old cottage design it felt like i was on a train to Hogwarts. Has a nice Scottish feel to it. Amazing view and beautiful people managing it. It truely is an escape

Cons: No tv

Pros: Lovely location so close to Johannesburg. So nice to hear the river when you sleep. I really enjoyed the massive patio/braai area with the hot tub

Pros: I liked the room, it was big and spacious. It was very clean inside.

Cons: The room which was underneath the bedroom, I feel it can be cleaned and accommodate some kind of entertainment. And the was another room that looked like a basement. It's scary and the small door to the basement was not locked. Also I think they can fix the room underneath on the basement and make some sort of entertainment centre. Eg put a pull to play.

Pros: The view, the quitness, the hiking trail. The vibe is wonderful
