Riverside Cottage has been in our family for years. It is enchanting with a rustic, yet comfortable feel. If you are looking for a romantic getaway - Riverside is the perfect place to spend time with your significant other. If you are a family seeking time in the great outdoors and some adventure - then Riverside is also for you! If you are travelling between JHB and Durban, then Riverside is an Oasis over-night break for you! Please note, you will need to travel along a dirt/gravel road for 5.7km to reach our farm location.
We love sharing this special place with guests! Get ready to be welcomed to a little River paradise.
We are close to many lovely restaurants and just a short drive away from the bustling Champagne Valley.
