The River House

Just one hour from Johannesburg, The River House is the perfect getaway for intimate weekends or large group vacations. This stunning four bedroom, three bathroom location overlooks the Vaal River and can accommodate up to 12 guests comfortably.

The house centers around a sparkling clear pool with wooden deck surrounded by lush indigenous vegetation. All bedrooms lead off from this idyllic leisure and living area. Natural wood features prominently in the interior finishes, with plenty of natural light streaming in from the many retractable doors and windows.

A fully-equipped kitchen serves the 8-seater dining table in the large, open-plan layout, while the 6-seater downstairs bar and leisure area is equipped with a second kitchenette for effortless socializing.

The unique ‘Boathouse’ is a glass-walled sun-room suspended above the Vaal River and is a spectacular place to spend the afternoon while your very own powerboat ferries guests in and out for a cruise or a ski from right below your feet.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is set in a vast double-volume space, with solid wood floors and a private balcony boasting an unprecedented view of the Vaal river – a breathtaking sight at sunset. The private bathroom is en-suite.

The 12-seater upstairs bar with kitchenette is a favorite spot to spend evenings, where guests can catch the setting sun to the sounds of a crackling fire and the highveld bush coming to life all around you.

Additional features of this spectacular property include three fireplaces, seven flatscreens, a jacuzzi, a gym and a separate guesthouse with private entrance and en-suite bathroom. The River House also offers access to the quadbike, jetskis and powerboat.
