As always, my overseas visitors thoroughly enjoyed their experience. I have been numerous times and always leave with a huge smile. Such a great way to relax, enjoy the fresh air and river experience, all whilst sipping on your choice of wine - and snacking on goodies from the deli. Definitely a "must do" no matter age. - Betty
One of the gems in the Robertson area. We really enjoyed our rivercruise at Viljoensdrift. So peaceful and such beautiful surroundings. What a way to enjoy a glass of Viljoensdrifts nice wines while cruisind down the river. A place you need to visit when you are in the area. - Francois
Always a fantastic experience, we never miss a trip if we in the area. - Patricia
Was 'n besondere ervaring in die pragtige natuurskoon! Diens by restaurant was ook puik! - Jossie
Was a very peaceful river cruise. Was disappointed with the food available for our picnic. Due to our schedule, was hope to have sandwich on the cruise as our lunch. Unfortunately, there wasn't any. The staff at the food counter was not very friendly. - Gee
