Description
Rainbow’s End — the name alone suggests treasure, and what you’ll find here is exactly that: a golden slice of riverfront peace where time slows and the world loosens its grip. Nestled at the edge of stillness, this retreat feels like discovering something rare — a place where barefoot mornings begin with coffee on a sun-warmed stoep, and afternoons stretch luxuriously long, wrapped in sun, laughter, and the scent of woodsmoke.
The property invites just this kind of escape — where comfort meets style, and every corner is thoughtfully layered with soul and story. Naked brick, polished concrete, and clean architectural lines provide a cool contemporary canvas, softened by tactile warmth: woven textures, antique woods, tan leather, and sculptural lighting that arcs like art above the dining table. The overall effect is effortlessly cool, flecked with the charm of timeworn pieces and subtle nods to Frida Kahlo’s fire and femininity.
The house is designed for both gathering and stillness. Chairs draw you to shared meals around the raw wooden table; the lounge encourages reclining, reading, napping, or simply watching the river idle past. There’s a moodiness here that works year-round: in winter, the slow-combustion fireplace becomes the heartbeat of the home, flickering beneath thick throws and red wine; in summer, the lines blur between indoors and out, as glass doors open wide to the lawn, the Kol-Kol hot tub, and slow-burn braais under open skies.
The property unfolds across a collection of thoughtfully detached dwellings, creating an easy flow between shared moments and quiet privacy. The Stone Cottage is tucked slightly apart — a romantic one-bedroom hideaway with a fireplace, kitchenette, bathroom and its own outdoor firepit for fireside stargazing. Two self-contained flats offer open-plan living: Flat One includes a lounge, kitchenette, bathroom and a private deck with mountain views, while Flat Two mirrors the open layout with its own lounge, kitchenette and bathroom. The Main House is the social heart — spilling out onto a shaded veranda with a pizza oven, Kol-Kol hot tub, and a generous outdoor dining space. Inside, an open-plan lounge with indoor fireplace leads to the kitchen and dining area, with a scullery tucked away. There’s a cosy TV room for movie nights, two en-suite bedrooms, and a main suite with a fireplace and private deck overlooking the river. Beyond the lawn, you’ll find loungers, a braai area, a private jetty, slipway, and the river — waiting.
Clever details — like transforming the back step into an indoor braai zone — show that this home isn’t just about style, it’s about how you live while you’re here. It’s made for barefoot kids and music on low volume, for sunset G&Ts and long afternoon naps.
If your idea of a getaway is a home that doesn’t just host, but inspires, this is it. Modern, moody, and quietly magnetic — a space that lets you truly arrive.
