As the sun rises over the tranquil waters of the Breede River, a sense of serenity washes over River’s Rest, a hidden sanctuary nestled within the lush embrace of the Riverine Estate. Amidst the gentle rustle of the trees and the soothing melody of flowing waters, lies a haven where outdoor living takes centre stage, inviting you to immerse in the beauty of nature and the luxury of relaxation.

Step into the heart of River’s Rest, where open-plan living seamlessly merges the kitchen, dining, and lounge areas, creating a space that is both inviting and spacious. As you prepare your morning coffee in the well-appointed kitchen, the aroma of freshly brewed java mingles with the crisp morning air, setting the tone for a day of leisure and indulgence. With top-of-the-line appliances and thoughtful touches like a Smeg kettle and coffee machine, every culinary creation becomes a work of art.

As you venture outside onto the expansive deck, where panoramic river views stretch as far as the eye can see, inviting you to savour the beauty of the natural surroundings. Gather around the table for al fresco dining, the gentle breeze caressing your skin as you indulge in a feast of grilled delicacies prepared on the outdoor built-in braai.

For those seeking moments of quiet contemplation, a separate deck offers sanctuary in the form of two sun loungers and a swing bed, where you can while away the hours lost in the pages of a good book or simply bask in the warmth of the sun.

As the day unfolds, retire to one of the four bedrooms, each offering a serene oasis of comfort and relaxation. In the master bedroom, a plush queen bed beckons, framed by sweeping river views and the flickering glow of a fireplace. Step outside onto the deck and indulge in the ultimate in relaxation with an outdoor shower or soak away your cares in the freestanding bath, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.

In the remaining bedrooms, guests are treated to equally luxurious accommodations, with king and queen beds, ensuite bathrooms, and thoughtful touches like fireplaces for added warmth and ambience.

But perhaps the true jewel in the crown of River’s Rest is its private jetty, where guests can gather for sunset cocktails or leisurely meals at the table, complete with a minibar and roofed shelter for added comfort.

As the stars twinkle overhead and the gentle lapping of the river lulls you into a peaceful slumber, you can’t help but feel grateful for the chance to experience the magic of River’s Rest, a place where time slows and every moment is a cherished memory in the making.
