Kowie River guest house is possibly one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed.The situation overlooking the swimming pool across lawns to the river was stunning .The bedrooms are shades of cream,restful,tasteful and leading onto a terrace with built in gas BBQ .Ditta ,the owner could not have been more helpful giving suggestions for places to eat plus serving the most delicious breakfast imaginable ---as I said --perfection !

That is how a Guest House should be. You are welcome as a guest and not just a customer. Everything is done to make you feel perfect. Wonderful house in a perfect location at the river and with the provided binoculars you can spot Game like giraffe or boks in the distance.
The rooms are very comfortable with a big private terrace, nice garden with sunbeds and a nice pool, but you can swim in the river as well. Canoes are provided complimentary and breakfast is very good.

Fell in love with this Guest House and will definitely be back. Loved everything about it from the beautiful decor to the outstanding breakfast. Dale, the young man who ran the Guest House, cooked the most wonderful breakfast (including freshly baked bagels, muffins and french pastries). Had the best tea and coffee of our whole trip. Everything was of the highest quality. The bed was large and very comfortable. Loved the outdoor kitchen on our stoop. Enabled us to have light lunches or evening meals. Dale was very knowledgeable of the area and was happy to share with us. Spent our breakfast most mornings chatting. The best Guest House we have stayed at in SA.

Room tip: The three bedrooms facing the river. The fourth bedroom is a family room at the other side of the Guest House.

The accommodation is clean, comfortable and with the added advantage of facilities for self catering if you wish. The breakfasts were excellent and if possible served on the terrace. The owners try to leave nothing to be desired. We'll come again!!

Second time we went to this B&B.
Last year we came across it by coincidence, this time we booked it straight.
Very nice rooms, a wonderful little pool inviting you to have a refreshing dive
before enjoying a sun-downer-drink on your balcony, just magnificent.
Very lovely people running this place. We will return for sure.
