River Ikhaya is our romantic chalet with vast open spaces and has a river frontage.
It is perfect for honeymooners or for couples just wanting to enjoy privacy, peace and relaxation of body and mind.
It is an open planned studio type chalet with a queen size bed.
There is a fully equipped kitchenette, indoor fireplace for chilly karoo evenings, a free standing Victorian bath and a unique indoor/outdoor shower with a view of the beautiful mountains.
The patio is under cover with a built-in braai and seating, perfect for those lazy sundowner drinks.
Your own little jetty along the small river bank and outside lapa complete the picture.
Please note: River Indlu and River Ikhaya are totally separate from one another and are on the opposite side of the road to the farmhouse therefore allowing absolute privacy.
