Welcome
Join us in the Great Karoo, a vast, semi-desert in South Africa, one of the world's few remaining sanctuaries of clean air and water.
It is there, under the patient guard of the Valley of Desolation's dolerite cliffs that the town of Graaff-Reinet was established in 1786.
Welcome to our elegant, old-world, charming town.
Reviews
"Highly Recommended!
Ideally situated to explore Graaff-Reinet & surrounds. Riverbend Cottage is a spacious & comfortable flatlet - perfect for a self-catering getaway. Highly recommended and within close proximity to local restaurants. Thank you for a lovely stay!:
"Extremely Friendly.
The Riverbend's self-catering units are very spacious and neatly decorated. I liked that externally it looked old-fashioned but the interior is modern. It has off-road parking and each unit has a patio area. The staff are extremely friendly and very accommodating. I will definitely book this accommodation the next time I visit Graaff Reinet."
"Stunning decor and a lovely little "stoep".
Riverbend Self Catering Cottages are beautiful with stunning decor and a lovely little "stoep" where you can relax and braai. The self-catering unit has everything you need, from air-conditioning to lovely bedding to keep you warm in the chilly Karoo. The hostess is extremely friendly and goes out of her way to make you feel welcomed. We will definitely be back in the future."
