Summary: When we drove through the gate our initial impression was ‘wow!’. The outdoor space at the property is amazing, and is very well kept. It surpassed our expectations. We were a group of 14 (kids age 8-14, and parents) and had the most wonderful time at River House. There are a lot of activities to do - the kids spent as much time in the river exploring on canoes as they did in the pool! There is enough indoor and outdoor space that everyone can spend time together, or can find time away from the group if they need some peace & quiet! The house also had plenty of space. There are 5 main bedrooms, and we were able to configure the sleeping arrangements to meet our needs (incl 5 kids in one room). Air con is not available in all bedrooms. The furnishings are not the most modern, but this did not impact on our stay negatively in any way - we spent the vast majority of the time in the amazing outdoor space anyway! Be mindful if renting a car the entrance road is very narrow with walls either side … do not rent a large car! We had a small SUV and had to drive down the road 50m or so with wing mirrors folded to avoid losing them. But with a good guide and a deep breath it’s worth the nerves to stay here! Manuel was a super host, very responsive to messages and took time to orientate us to the property when we arrived. Thank you Manuel!
