At River Edge you are surrounded by mountains that turn pink at sunset, vineyards stretching to the horizon, fynbos alive with wildlife, and the Breede River on your doorstep – and yet you are only an hour away from Cape Town. These beautiful stone-clad river houses offer a luxurious, relaxing and tranquil stay – the ideal break for the jaded urbanite seeking an authentic country experience. The swanky sundecks with sunken Jacuzzis and open fireplaces make these houses the best sundowner spot on the Breede River!!
