Budget Getaways Review
Looking for a comfortable, clean and good value base on the lapping banks of the Berg River and all its associated salty attractions? In that case Waterkant appears to fit the bill perfectly.
It's a fairly modern house with three bedrooms, each with a Queen bed and two of the rooms zipping open to a timber deck and wonderful river views.
There are two bathrooms with a toilet, bath and shower. (But hey, with a river right on the doorstep, who needs to bath?)
The spacious living area features TV and DSTV, as well as an indoor braai. This area also spills out to a covered timber deck via sliding doors.
Besides indoor braai and portable braai, you'll discover a lapa area for your tribe, sheltered from the wind and equipped with tree stumps.
Starting to get some idea what the priorities are at Waterkant? All linen and towels (excluding swimming towels) are provided, the kitchen is fully equipped, and the Berg River's attractions are a mere hop down the drag - fishing, canoeing, birdwatching, rustic seafood restaurants, bokkom, it's all there for the taking.
And all at the reasonable price tag of R1000 nightly for the entire house.
"Wow � this is definitely a comeback for more! This three bedroom house with its spacious living area with its build in braai and fully equipped kitchen is a pleasure to experience. Two bedrooms have direct views on the river and are complimented with the two full bathrooms. The enormous veranda as well as the open lapa on the river bank allows for a comfortable outdoor experience. The experience of total silence or otherwise birds waking you in the morning was most welcome. Although on the outskirts of Velddrif, all other facilities is available within a short drive."

"What a delightful stay! A spacious, modern and very well-kept house right on the banks of the river, with beautiful sunset views, a lovely little garden and a killer verandah... The beach is a short drive away, but the house is so comfortable and well-equipped that you might not want to leave. The perfect budget getaway - surprisingly reasonable for such a great stay."
