Come Stay at Riverhide – Our Family’s Dream, Now Yours to Experience Riverhide isn’t just somewhere to stay. It’s a home filled with love, stories, and memories. Now, we’re opening it up to you—to create your own memories, find your favorite spots, and experience the magic that makes Riverhide so special. Located between Robertson and Swellendam, Riverhide sits on 7 hectares of heaven, right on the Breede River. Whether you want privacy, adventure, or a place to slow down, Riverhide is waiting for you. It all started as a dream and wasn’t built overnight. It was built by us—our family—one idea and one mistake at a time. Endless late nights, a few arguments, and plenty of “oops” moments later, Riverhide stands as a reflection of our love, hard work, and patience. And now, we get to share our haven with you. A Family Dream Turned Reality We wanted a place where the world felt a little quieter and time moved slower. A place where memories weren’t planned—they just happened. That’s Riverhide. Designed with our polar opposite family in mind, Riverhide has cozy corners for quiet souls and open spaces for those who thrive on connection. A Space for Everyone: The Fireplace: Built by my dad, it’s seen countless exams, deep talks, and many glasses of wine. The Garden: My mom’s dream come true, with beautiful spaces to enjoy a coffee. Windows That Pull Nature In: Massive windows that bring the outdoors in, stunning river, mountain and garden views awaits. The Jacuzzi: Dad’s hand-built 8-seater, with views of the river and mountains. For nature lovers, enjoy private river access, walking trails, and mountain biking routes. With 350 hectares of Renosterveld to explore If you leave, nearby attractions include world-class wine farms, skydiving, and Swellendam’s history and beauty. Come stay at Riverhide. Slow down, breathe deep, and make memories. We can’t wait to welcome you. Best wishes, The Wolfaardts
