## Our read

Riverside Sun is a 169-room hotel on the Vaal, with a river boat and a rule that outside food stays outside. Come for the river and the gardens. Skip it if you wanted to cook, or if you wanted Sandton.

## Come here for

- The Vaal from a river-facing room, if that is the key you book
- A cruise on the Liquid Lounge
- Eleven venues, up to 500 people, with breakfast included

## Skip it if

- You planned to bring your own food. The page does not allow it.
- You wanted a kitchen. These are hotel rooms.

## The place

Riverside Sun is on the corner of Wenning and Emfuleni Drive in Vanderbijlpark, on the Vaal River. The page counts 169 rooms, from standard rooms to river-facing suites. Breakfast is included. Two children under 18 stay free with adults. There is an outdoor pool, and the Liquid Lounge is a river boat. Riverview is the restaurant. Le Bourbon is the bar. Eleven venues hold up to 500 people. The page says outside food and drink are not permitted, because the hotel has its own restaurant. The phone is +27 16 982 7300. The useful fact is the river, and the rule that comes with it. This is not a Sandton tower and it is not a self-catering house on the water. Deluxe rooms and suites are the ones the page ties to river views. A standard room is a different key. The page does not print a fixed nightly rate. Someone who wanted to bring a picnic should read that line before they arrive. Reserve with the hotel. MindReach does not take the booking.
