Chateau Relaxo

Nestled amidst the lush landscapes and rolling hills of Malgas, Chateau Relaxo is a bona fide river retreat where natural beauty and tranquil luxury converge. As you approach this hidden gem, the scene is set by the gentle sounds of the river, the whisper of the breeze through the trees, and the warm embrace of natural light flooding every corner. At its very core, this hideaway is entirely down-to-earth yet lavishly refined in its essentials, offering a retreat that feels both luxurious and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Step inside, and you’ll be greeted by the airy ambience of wooden and bamboo ceilings, complemented by light rattan furnishings and natural elements that blur the line between the indoors and the expansive outdoors. The living area is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, inviting panoramic views that stretch across the serene vistas of hills and distant landscapes. The true heart of Chateau Relaxo, however, lies beyond these walls. The outdoor deck, with its built-in braai, is the perfect spot for gatherings as you bask in the golden glow of sunset. The decks, merging seamlessly with the river, create a flow that unifies the water with the home, offering a harmonious escape. Descend the stairs to discover another deck, complete with a Kol-Kol hot tub that invites you to soak under the stars. From here, further steps lead down to a private jetty—a welcomed respite for early morning paddles, fishing expeditions, or simply lounging by the water’s edge. This seamless connection between home and river makes Chateau Relaxo more than just a place to stay, but where nature, opulence, and inspiration know no bounds.

Two bedrooms complete the space, including a primary suite with a stunning bath that boasts 270-degree views, creating a serene sanctuary overlooking the river. Both rooms are thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and style, perfectly complementing the home’s natural, understated elegance.

Days are as leisurely or as adventurous as you wish, with amenities that include board games, a darts board, a pool table, and outdoor pursuits like stand-up paddling, fishing, and swinging into the river from the playful swings. It’s a place where the natural elements shape every experience, inviting you to savour moments both grand and simple, in a setting that’s perfectly aligned with the rhythm of the river.
