Rivermead self catering accommodation is situated on the banks of a magnificent dam. This idyllic retreat is not just a place to stay; it's an invitation to embrace the serenity of the dam, gaze on the majestic Berg and indulge in unforgettable experiences with family and friends. Rivermead boasts an enchanting charm, accommodating parties of varying sizes, from intimate gatherings of four to joyous reunions of up to fourteen. Rivermead offers a fully equipped kitchen for ease of catering. A wood burning pizza oven in the kitchen is a highlight for many who stay. There is a wonderful fireplace in the lounge for those chilly winter stays. Enjoy fishing, kayaking and swimming in the dam.
Karoline is a people person, always up for a chat and to lend a helping hand. She has lots of interests, including art and gardening.
Rivermead is situated in Himeville. It is close to the Sani Pass and the village of Underberg and Himeville. The hikes and outdoor activities offered in the area are easily accessible from Rivermead. Alternatively guests can enjoy fishing, kayaking and swimming from Rivermead.
