Flyfishing and Family Breakaway! 7 Luxury self-catering cabins.

Riverman Cabin

 

Nestled in the beautiful valley of Tonteldoos, Riverman Cabin is the perfect place to exchange traffic for donkeys lazily grazing, rushed lunches for a picnic in the veld and city noises for an evening song, sung by crickets and orchestrated by frogs. Riverman Cabin is situated in the Tonteldoos Valley, +-30 km northeast of Dullstroom, which is approximately a 3-hour drive from Johannesburg.

 

Accommodation

Riverman Cabin consists of seven comfortable self-catering country cottages, three stone cottages, three wooden cabins and one brick cabin.
 

All the cabins are fully furnished and equipped for a homely self-catering experience. All the cabins are open plan with cosy indoor fireplaces, as well as private, external braai areas with complimentary wood stock for each night of your stay..

Riverman Cabin is a pet-friendly establishment. Kindly visit the FAQs page to familiarize yourself with our policies regarding pets.
