Riverman Cabin Country Lodge is a highly recommended property for self catering in Dullstroom for anyone visiting the Highlands Meander region.
In the tranquil valley of Tonteldoos you'll find Riverman Cabin Country Lodge offering an idyllic escape from city life. Here, traffic is replaced by donkeys grazing, rushed lunches by peaceful picnics, and city noise by the harmonious evening songs of crickets and frogs.
Approximately 30 km northeast of Dullstroom and about a three-hour drive from Johannesburg, Riverman Cabin provides fresh country air and wide-open spaces.
Ideal for couples seeking a romantic weekend, family gatherings, or a countryside retreat, our rustically elegant cabins are uniquely decorated and feature cozy indoor fireplaces and private outdoor braai areas.
Fully furnished and equipped for a homely self-catering experience, we provide crisp white bedding, towels, cleaning products, and complimentary wood for your first night’s stay. Additional wood and ice can be purchased from reception. All cottages have free Wi-Fi (though there is no cellular network) and benefit from a backup solar energy source to mitigate load shedding.
Please view individual cabin descriptions and photographs below, to assist you with your choice.
We warmly welcome pets in five of our cottages and cabins, which are fenced for their safety and your peace of mind. The Dragonfly Cabin, Pheasant Tail Cabin, Golden Cottage, Flyinn Cottage, and Wigglystone Cabin offer varying fence heights to accommodate both large and small dogs.
Please ensure your pets are well-socialized and accompanied at all times. They are welcome to swim in our Doggie Dam, but please bring their own beds and bedding. Pet-friendly linen is available upon request.
Our communal Boma area, complete with bathrooms and kitchen facilities, is perfect for family gatherings under the starry sky. On-site amenities include a driving range, fly fishing dam, bass fishing pond, doggie splash dam, and Boma. Riverman Cabin Country Lodge is an excellent venue for birding, hiking, mountain biking, and high-altitude training.
We look forward to welcoming you to Riverman Cabin Country Lodge, where the countryside awaits.
What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.
