Shannon-RaeRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Tony’s place absolutely exceeded my expectations! The space was even bigger than it looked in the photos, which was such a pleasant surprise. It was incredibly cozy and welcoming, the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend getaway. The view of the dam was absolutely stunning—especially during sunset. We spent each evening just soaking it all in. Beautiful, peaceful, and exactly what we needed. Highly recommend!

Zeekoe Lodge Rock Cottage.

ChristienRating, 5 stars8 months ago

A Perfect Riverside Escape We recently spent a weekend at this charming 2-bedroom house on the banks of the Vaal River, and it was everything we could have hoped for! The location is absolutely stunning, offering peaceful, scenic views of the river right from the doorstep. The house itself was cozy, well-maintained, and had all the essentials we needed for a comfortable stay. The bedrooms were spacious, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a good night's rest after a day spent relaxing by the water. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. One of the highlights was being so close to the river—it was a delight to wake up to the sound of water flowing and to spend time sitting outside, taking in the natural beauty. Whether you're looking to fish, enjoy a quiet escape, or just relax by the water, this house is an ideal spot. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the serenity of the Vaal River.

Lake Zonk Cottage

roryRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had an unforgettable stay at Lake Zonk in the breathtaking Drakensberg mountains. Nestled right on the lake’s edge, the views were absolutely stunning – especially during sunrise and sunset, with the crisp air and golden light ushering in the winter season. The accommodation was spot-on for a mountain retreat – cozy, warm, and thoughtfully equipped with plenty of blankets and heaters to keep us snug. The fireplace, both inside and outside, added that extra touch of magic and made evenings feel truly special. One small frustration was the number of flies around – likely due to the season – so next time we’ll come prepared with something to keep them at bay. Still, it didn’t take away from the overall experience. Highly recommend this spot for anyone wanting to unwind in nature with unbeatable views and homely comfort. We’ll definitely be back!
