Netjies, stil, veilig, ruim en die perfekte wegbreek. Die kindertjies het die rivier en die splash pool so baie geniet en heerlik in die buite stort gespeel! Ons hoop om gou weer daar uit te kom, die rustigheid was baie nodig! Uitstekende diens en gasvryheid! Dankie. Susan en Gert

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely area. Interesting walks with beautiful river, a massive variety of trees, birds, and even some really old gravestones. Our neighbour was a crimson-breasted shrike. Cottage is thoughtfully equipped. The hosts are lovely people.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We spent 9 peaceful days staying in Firefly.  The birds were plentiful, even spotting a fish eagle.  Game happily strolled past the cottage. Bushbuck, vlak varke, squirrels.  The hosts go out of their way to make your stay memorable.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a wonderful hidden gem! We had such a relaxing stay in June 2026 whilst celebrating a birthday. The peaceful riverside setting, beautiful trees & birdlife, make it the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature. Every view is picture-perfect, whether you're enjoying a morning walk along the river or sitting around the campfire under the stars. Thank you to Rob and Lynnie for being such warm, welcoming, and friendly hosts. Their hospitality made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived.

The campsites are well maintained, peaceful, and spacious, making it an ideal destination for anyone wanting to escape the city for a few days.

We highly recommend Evergreen River  Guest farm and will definitely be back!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It you're looking to switch off and reconnect with nature, Evergreen River Guest Farm is definitely a hidden gem.  Waking up to the sound of the flowing river and brids singing, quickly makes you forget the world you left behind.

Rob and Lynnie are outstanding hosts, warm, accommodating, and passionate about making your stay special. Their cabins are homely, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need.

Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome place to escape to away from the city! If you looking for some quiet time away this is the place to come to. We love camping and this was perfect. Each camp site has its own private ablution and kitchen area. The hosts Lynnie & Rob are absolute gems and ready to assist with anything you need. No cell signal at the campsite but we went for a nice long walk to catch up with our messages. Big bonus is that they are petfriendly 🩷 We will definately come back again.
