Property information

The Suites (two river facing and two courtyard facing) are furnished with cool tranquil finishes, each with its own bathroom en suite with one Suite (courtyard facing) catering to persons with physical disabilities. Braai facilities overlooking the river are accessible to all guests, as are dinghy's (rowing) and/or canoes for the more energetic guests. Beautiful walks along the riverbank to view the bird life or just sitting on the end of the jetty, sipping a sundowner watching the cormorants returning to roost for the night after a hard days hunting for fish. We do not cater for children or allow animals. Rivertides offers a tranquil, relaxed idyllic couples getaway.
