Breathe River Retreat

Location was amazing and wish we stayed longer. Wonderful room for a family of 3 or 4.

It was cold so a fireplace would have been great and the shower maybe needs a curtain to keep the water in.

I loved the views of the Vaal river and the very comfortable lapa

No covered parking

It was calm , tranquil and one of the most peaceful places we’ve visited. Everything well maintained and all staff checking in with us to see if we might need anything or assistance with anything.

Not a a single thing. Everything was perfect and we have no complains. We will definitely recommend this place and be returning in the future.

The view from the room to the river was great. The room was well appointed, with kitchen facilities and a braai indoors. The table and chairs were outside on the stoep.

There were a ton of rules to cipher through. Don't do this, don't do that, and wording was quite negative. I would rather not be scared into not enjoying our stay. The humorous rule of no eating in the room defies logic as all the cooking, including the braai was inside, but one had to go outside to eat on the stoep? Fine in summer but winters are very cold in the area so would become unpleasant. The thatch roofs were not conducive to containing noise from the neighboring units so we felt we have to speak in whispers to not disturb the neighbors. It was a week day and not many guests, yet the morning cleaning staff took it upon themselves to clean gardens, plunge pools, pathways right beside the occupied units first rather than let guests live in peace.
