A good half way stop in semi-nature. The heater was on when we arrived, which was wonderful. The place is clean but small. We managed to braai and cook and had a good night's sleep! Thanks, Bertha.

Just calm down! It's lovely and quiet here even though you're very close to the main road. Although the facilities are old, they are in line with the amount being charged. Appreciate the messages from the owner about what to do upon arrival, so you can come in and leave undisturbed.

Net rustig! Dit is lieflik stil hier alhoewel jy baie naby aan die hoofpad is. Alhoewel die geriewe oud is, is dit in lyn met die bedrag wat gevra word. Waardeer die boodskappe van die eienaar oor wat om te doen met aankoms, sodat jy ongestoord kan inkom en weer vertrek.

Overnight near Bloem. Places need a little attention, but we can see it is being done. Clean and tidy and very nice by the river. Peaceful and quiet, but not too far from the N1. This was our second time at River of Joy and a nice overnight stop on the long road. Not too expensive either.

Oornag naby Bloem. Plekkies kort bietjie aandag, maar ons kan sien dit is besig om gedoen te word. Skoon en netjies en baie lekker teen die rivier. Rustig en stil, maar nie te ver van die N1. Dit was ons tweede keer by River of Joy en 'n lekker oorslaap stop op die lang pad. Ook nie te duur nie.

Comfortable, homely, relaxing, neat, clean. Bertha was always considerate and accommodating to our unique circumstances and time constraints. We slept warm, the kids had a great time playing outside during the times we were at the guesthouse. We were able to come and go as our schedule required without any hassle.

Gemaklik, huislik, ontspannend, netjies, skoon. Bertha was deurentyd bedagsaam en tegemoetkomend met ons unieke omstandighede en tydsbeperkings. Ons het warm geslaap, die kinders het heerlik buite gespeel met die tye wat ons wel by die gastehuis was. Ons kon kom en gaan soos ons skedule van ons vereis het sonder sukkel.

Quiet, quiet. Perfect stopover between Cape Town and Gauteng. Peaceful, quiet, and everything we needed was available. And so close to the N1.

Rustig, stil. Perfekte oorslaapstop tussen Kaap en Gauteng. Rustig, stil, en alles wat ons nodig gehad het, was beskikbaar. En so naby aan N1.

We arrived late and left early. Adequate as a place to stay overnight. Was adequate for what we were looking for.

Ons het laat gearriveer en vroeg vertrek. Voldoende as oornagplek. Was voldoende vir waarna ons gesoek het.
