What was meant to be a 3 night stay, ended being 7 nights. What a wonderful campsite. Perfectly appointed and so clean. The ablutions were spotless. Situated on the Kwelera river and plenty of trees for shade. Canoes available at a very reasonable rate, so made the most of the opportunity. Loved the fact that we were visited daily but a buck, ostrich, peacock and even a big tortoise. One of the friendliest staff we have experienced in our road tripping in our campervan. Altogether, a fantastic experience and we will be back again. Thank you for giving us that space to chill and reboot. Well done to all

We stayed at Areena Riverside Resort for a month camping in our motorhome alongside the river with our friends. It was our 2nd visit here and just as lovely as the 1st time. Saw many animals and did lots of walking and sightseeing. I would highly recommend this venue as well as their restaurant on site. We enjoyed the Sunday lunch every week for R150 each and well worth every cent. Ed, the owner, is totally hands-on and friendly and helpful. He even towed our friend's motorhome up the wet road when we were leaving. Great experience all round and highly recommended.

10 out of 10! Beautiful with friendly service, nice food and great views. We instantly felt relaxed. This is definitely a place to spend some much valued down time.
