The beautiful farmhouse, stables, and milking parlour date back to 1830. All the buildings in the complex have been creatively converted into modern, quaint en suite bedrooms while retaining an atmosphere of rustic charm. The terracotta floors, heavy wooden doors and shutters, and wide timber ceilings bear the scars, buckles, and blemishes of generations of use, giving the entire complex an authentic feel. In this relaxed setting, Albertus, Matilda & staff offer wholesome country hospitality and food, reminiscent of the bygone era of the 1800s—making it a hidden gem among South Africa hotels and one of the best accommodations in South Africa.
The air-conditioned rooms and cottages at Riverside come with a flat-screen satellite TV and a DVD player. Each is fitted with luxury furniture and wooden floors. The cottages feature a separate living room and a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave, ideal for guests seeking privacy and comfort. A freshly prepared breakfast is served daily, and in the afternoon, guests can enjoy a cheeseboard with a glass of wine from the lodge’s selection. Perfectly situated among charming Oudtshoorn hotels South Africa, Riverside offers an authentic countryside escape for travellers exploring the region.
