River Farm Cottage

Visitors to River Farm say...

The views of the mountains are spectacular
"Splendid! A lovely house nestled away between the mountains along a river. Everything was in working order and the days rolled along seamlessly. From the house, the views of the mountains are spectacular. The river is a little way off, 30m, which you do not see from the house. But it's so close and just down a little path from where you can swim in shallow pools. The place is pet friendly. The smallest drawback for us is that we're avid hikers and from the house there is only a jeep track to walk along and no dedicated trails up into the hills and mountains. Nonetheless, we still had a wonderful time and will definitely visit again."

It could not get better
"Absolutely perfect in every way! A beautiful setting, nestled between the mountains and with a river running past. It could not get better. Nice walks and places to sit and enjoy the scenery. House was perfect and well equipped, more than enough space for our family of 3 and of course our dog. Will definitely be returning. Thank you."

Off the grid for a few days
"We had a wonderful time here. The house was clean and neat and we loved sitting on the porch at night under the stars. We went in over new years, and it was HOT, but the house is in shade and there are lots of spots to relax with a good book. The river is not very high this time of year, but we could still sit in the river pools to cool off. We loved being able to completely disconnect and live off the grid for a few days."

Escape city life

"Cosy cottage that is homey on a rainy day with the indoor fireplace, but on a hot day one can enjoy the outside deck and laze around. Come sunset, a fire in the outside firepit is perfect for marshmallow smoors and great conversations, while fireflies and bright stars add to the ambiance. The sounds of the river and birds chirping enhances that tranquil feel... we would definitely be back to escape city life."

Cool swimming spots

We had a lovely stay at River Cottage in January despite temperatures soaring to 42 degrees. There is ample shade, beautiful cool swimming spots and plenty of areas to relax during the day"

The outdoor shower is magical
"Absolutely love this place and cannot wait to visit again, the outdoor shower is magical. The entire weekend was so peaceful with no signal and no electricity making us appreciate life outside of our busy schedules."

Private and peaceful
"Very tranquil getaway, private and peaceful. Beautiful accommodation, beautiful surrounds, clean and spacious. Things to note: There is no electricity (can be tricky for long stays), getting through the river beds is not for the average car. Love that you can bring dogs along. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks for a peaceful escape."

We did not see anyone the entire time
"Lovely spot to relax away from the rat race. Very well appointed and tastefully decorated house with many braai spots, swimming, easy hiking and grade 2 4x4 trail thru the unspoilt valley. We did not see anyone the entire time. Friendly owners. You need decent ground clearance to get there, and 4x4 in winter after rains I'd imagine. Poor cell reception which is always a bonus when looking to disconnect."

A good variety of the endemic bird life
"A cosy comfortable cottage in a beautifully secluded spot - we didn't see or hear another soul while we were there but we did spot a good variety of the endemic bird life. Very efficient fireplace for chilly nights. Lovely outdoor shower (there's an indoor one too) and a cute pond for dipping in. The kitchen is very well equipped and the bedding is comfy and warm. We had an excellent time. I would definitely heed the advice about having a high clearance vehicle (not necessarily a 4x4) as there is a spot where you really do need one if you want to drive right up to the cottage."

Exceeded our wildest expectations
"This lovely place really exceeded our wildest expectations in every respect. The house is comfortable, clean, neat and equipped with everything you can imagine ... and more. We did not miss electricity or cellphones for one minute. One can truly switch off and unwind here and enjoy nature - the most stressful activity was to decide when to light the fire for the braai. You have to experience it yourself!"
