If you know the Vereeniging / Meyerton area, you will know it is heavily industrialised, which I guess is why many people visit this area for business. But that does not make it a hive of pleasant settings, despite its location on the Vaal River. The Riviera is an exception. The setting is pleasant, even spectacular. The staff are helpful... More

We stayed at the Riviera over the Easter weekend. We were looking for something close to home. It is a gem in Vereeniging, the hotel is well equiped and has nice views of the Vaal River. The room was decent with all the amenities. Dinner at the Mathews (in house restaurant) gave us the choice of a la carte or... More

On check in we were told our room had flooded and they were making plan for another suite! That was sorted out. Suite had great views to the dam -... More

Our stay was extremely disappointing. The room had an air conditioning problem and we had to ask five times for it to be fixed before we were told they were waiting for a part. In the meantime the temperature was 35 deg C. The basin in the bathroom was also blocked and the toilet leaked. The catering was poor. We... More

I love taking weekend breaks at the Riviera on Vaal. It is also a great venue to see the New Year in as they put on a special dinner - wedding standard, live entertainment, boat ride and in past years a firework display. It is a great combination of boating, golf and having the spa - all on site. The... More

I love the riviera and most of all for the fact that it is child friendly. I will definitely come back for the spa offer. The prices are pretty reasonable and I love that. This venue will definitely be my wedding reception.
