We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary in the Porcupine selfcatering unit. What a lovely and peaceful weekend it was, but not without some excitement in some 4x4'ing at Walker Bay with some tips from the owners! Thank you for a lovely stay! We'll see you soon! More

It was a lovely time and very peaceful. Scenery with the mountains and river is just amazing, especially in the mornings with sunrise. Will see you again in the future! Thanks More

Staying at Stanford River Lodge was absolutely amazing! It is a peaceful, beautiful venue and the owners are very friendly. We loved staying there! Thank you for everything! More

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this establishment and can highly recommend it. The whole place feels like home and welcomes you from the moment you step in.
