A wonderful breakaway spot
Pros: A wonderful breakaway spot, not too far from several larger towns. The setting is beautiful and tranquil — we absolutely loved watching the zebras grazing on the lawn right in front of us! The rooms are comfortable and spotless, with huge showers, and the kitchen is well-equipped with everything you might need. I accidentally left something behind, and the host was so kind and helpful in making sure I got it back — much appreciated! The patio is a lovely place to sit and relax, enjoy a meal, or unwind with a glass of wine. We were lucky to have great weather, but I’m sure it would be just as cosy and enjoyable indoors too.
Cons: The road to the house is a bit bumpy but not to hard to get over that.

A fantastic, large house with the most perfect veranda, with amazing views, sunsets and zebras.
Pros: We had an amazing time at Riverbank. The house was perfect for a large family get-together and was very well equipped. We spent hours on the spacious stoep braaing and watching springboks, but our highlight was the zebras mowing the lawn.
Cons: We loved everything.

Well equipped, comfortable, elegant stay in a peaceful paradise
Pros: The property is well equipped, well kept with all you need for a short stay. The environment is beautiful even though we were only able to see the mountain once due to the weather. The Zebra & Springbok grazing on the front lawn was super special
Cons: N/A

Recommendable to any person in a wheelchair, for a very relaxing time and very friendly owners.
Pros: The wheelchair accessibility of the house is above normal especially the shower.
Cons: A better understanding on the vicinity of the pool as it is not near the house

It was a lovely stay, we really enjoyed it, we felt at home, this is a place that you can enjoy your entire stay at just
Pros: The property was lovely, spacious, the surroundings and views were beautiful. Great for taking in nature, and accommodating people. Decor was lovely, there was more than enough crockery and cutlery, we were happy with the complimentary wood. Everything was neat and tidy, the view of the mountain from all rooms were lovely and when sitting on the patio whether while braaing or just relaxing.. few times had the Zebras and bokkies grazing on the property or very close by that made it a beautiful experience. Beds were comfortable and all showers worked and had decent temp water and pressure. Was a happy surprise seeing the games that we could make use of. Really a stunning place would recommend to anyone and everyone. We also felt it very comforting how responsive the host was and friendly when we got lost getting to the accommodation , and the welcome pack was so helpful.
Cons: Unfortunately Tulbagh can get very hot in summer time, and can hit high humidity and the location of the property it can make it worse. Our fear of snakes was heightened after reading how frequent it can be to see them so we only opened bathroom windows for very short periods. The house itself was hot, would suggest adding air conditioners in each room, the fan helped a little bit . We also thought extraction fans in the bathrooms to help with the humidity after showering and drying the air a bit. Lastly the pool was noted as private, when it’s actually a communal pool to the reserve, because the road was noted the best to walk would have been mission in the heat that the area experienced during our stay wasn’t ideal. We would suggest rewording as Communal rather than private maybe in the future if the hosts are able to perhaps add a hot tub or similar on the property would be an amazing bonus experience.

Pros: We had an absolutely amazing stay at this beautiful property! The location is simply breathtaking, with stunning views and the added bonus of zebras and springboks roaming freely close to the house. It really made the experience feel special and unique. The house itself was perfect, offering everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The pool, just a short walk away, was a fantastic bonus for the kids. Communication with the host was smooth and efficient, with quick responses and an easy self check-in and check-out process. Overall, it was a truly peaceful and enjoyable getaway.

Fabulous!
Pros: Riverbank is one of those places that will leave a mark on you, and you'll always want to go back! Everything was top-notch! Clean, comfortable, spacious, fireplace inside. Lovely stoep and outside braai area. We loved watching the zebras on the lawn! Lots of springbok passing by in the morning! We only stayed for one night, but this was way too short! Will be back for more!
