| Set on the banks of the Berg River in Velddrif, the River House offers luxury West Coast accommodation for up to six guests. Velddrif, which started off as a small fishing community, is a popular destination for family holidays, fishing trips, water sport events and much more. Just off the River House's veranda, you'll find the Laaiplek slipway, where locals launch their fishing boats and often return from sea with hulls filled to brim with the day's catch.
The River House is situated between Port Owen and Laaiplek, where one can enjoy the best of both worlds: the wide Berg River and the vast beaches of the West Coast. From fishing to diving and water sports to relaxing on the veranda, the picturesque West Coast is the amateur photographer's paradise.
Riverhouse is perfect for family vacations, weekends away or to spend with a group of friends. Besides the ample sleeping space, this self-catering guest house features two large braais and a comfortable living area that opens up onto a veranda with a zig-zag sliding door that extend the living space with the outside.
The River House can accommodate up to six guests in three bedrooms. The kitchen, living room and veranda provide ample facilities to cater for six guests. Two fireplaces compliment the gas-top stove - to make The River House a caterer's dream home.
