Accommodation
Please note that we do not host any of the following groups on the premises:
Youth groups, nudist groups and bachelors parties.
THE SETTING OF THE RIVER CAMPS:
A working farm in the country in a beautiful valley which we love so much. Surrounded by small country towns and the majestic Langeberg. If you stay long enough you can take some scenic drives into the Overberg, Klein Karoo, into the Robertson Wine Valley or even to Witsand or Arniston at the sea.
If you come for a night or two and come with your favourite group of friends or family, you will enjoy long hours at the fire, or late morning breakfasts. You can book DSTV if you need to stay informed about the news, your favourite sport or series !
