Laid Back Riverside Getaway
One of the nicest things about visiting the Boland is how unhurried it feels... yet you don't have to travel far to get there. Just 15 km’s from Worcester and less than 90 minutes drive from Cape Town, you are in the heart of the Boland and home to The River House Collection, which consists of two neighbouring self-catering guest lodges in a truly stunning setting, each perched on the banks of the beautiful Breede River.
The River House and The Other House, each nestled on its own half a hectare of private and secured gardens with expansive lawns, are perfectly situated for canoeing, fishing, bird-watching, golfing and wine tours or just chilling. The two guest lodges can be booked separately or together and are also perfect for informal conferences or small functions.
