Timbaktu River Cottages

Our was stay was great.

Pros: It was peaceful with horses, giraffes and other domesticated animals roaming freely in the facility. The sound of the river flowing close by was just great for relaxation outside. The horse riding was great.

Cons: The restaurant was not functional during our visit. it would have been great to have all the services in one facility so that one does not have to drive out of the venue for the entire weekend. However we were directed to a conveniently close by café Elle.

Excellent

Pros: We really enjoyed our stay, what stood out the most us the views. The owner went out of his way to make us feel comfortable

Cons: Wifi in the cottage

Relaxing, adventurous,comfortable and will definitely be back.

Pros: The property is situated in a beautiful and serene area.It offers comfort and adventure,all on the same establishment. The hosts are amazing and customer centric. The property is child friendly and everyone makes sure the children are comfortable.

Pros: The accommodation is well appointed and rustic but with every amenity you would need. The hosts are super people and they went above and beyond during our stay

Enjoyable and peaceful stay in the bush

Pros: The hosts were extremely helpful and attended to our needs when the weather turned our braai plans upside down. The location was exactly what we wanted with a view of the river and the whole atmosphere was great. Love that our pets will be able to go with on our next visit. If one wants an exclusive and private stay at an affordable rate this is a beautiful option. Our stay was very short, we will have an extended stay soon to experience the activities on the premises.

Cons: We were blessed with a very rainy evening in the bush cottages, where our braai rained out as the rain penetrated the firepit, but our hosts were very hospitable and accommodated us in the lodge kitchen and dining area. It also rained into the cottage a little on one of the beds but not on one we needed so it was no issue but should be attended to.

Pros: The peace and quiet. And the friendly dogs. Overall we had a nice stay.

Cons: We had no view from our patio, our view was our braai. Maybe a afdakkie or two at the plaasdam pool

Would like to go again, especially to show the grand children the fireflies

Pros: Fantastic nature peaceful with great river view. Bonus was the fireflies!

Cons: The fridge behind the door

A beautifully comfortable stylish, farm style stay.

Pros: We upgraded to the Thandile Country Lodge and WOW what a great place! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and our farm style cottage was cosy and well equipped. It’s a pity we couldn’t stay longer to enjoy the horse riding, fishing and beautiful surroundings. It’s a fantastic getaway spot.

Cons: Everything was great.

Pros: The hosts were so accommodating and made sure our stay was phenomenal by making sure we had all that we needed. The staff went the extra mile to ensure our stay was comfortable.

Bee

Pros: The place and the stuff were amazing, clean place and everything arranged on arrival.

Cons: The fact that one had to share the kitchen but otherwise the stuff was very helpful.
