Private Riverfront Cottage

Set on the far edge of the estate, the River Cottage offers a more private and immersive stay, framed by sweeping views of the Vaal River, surrounding mountains and lush riverside trees. Designed for guests seeking space, seclusion and a deeper connection to the landscape, this distinctive three-storey retreat combines natural beauty with relaxed sophistication.

The upper loft level features three single beds and a lounge area, creating a quiet vantage point from which to take in the remarkable surroundings. On the middle level, a beautifully appointed main bedroom, bathroom and dining area offer comfort and ease, while the ground floor is dedicated to entertainment, with an additional bathroom and generous space for gathering and unwinding.

Outside, the experience opens fully to the river. A spacious patio, built-in braai, fire pit and private pool create the perfect setting for long afternoons, sunset drinks and evenings spent under the open sky on the water’s edge.
