About Moonriver Mountain Retreat

Moonriver Mountain Retreat is nestled on the edge of a large secluded valley, in the heart of the Waterberg Biosphere of Limpopo, South Africa and is part of Waterberg Bushveld Retreat. Moonriver Mountain Retreat is a self-catering/self-service establishment, 3 hours drive from Pretoria.

It offers guests spectacular views of the amazing valley and surrounds, as well as interesting walking or strenuous hiking for the fitter visitors! During Summer, there are numerous springs and water streams to explore in different valleys, with abundant wildlife, birds and flowers.

Waterberg Self Catering

Situated in the heart of the Waterberg Plateau, Moonriver Mountain Retreat offers self catering accommodation in three private and spacious chalets as well as a large thatched three bedroom house. The accommodation boasts breathtaking views of the valley. The main lodge has a deck and a swimming pool available for your use.

The Main Lodge with fully equipped Kitchen is open to guests and is the only unit serviced during the week and Saturdays. Please see the individual unit or room descriptions below with photographs, to assist you with your choice.

Please Note

Normal vehicles can drive to the Parking Area of our Establishment and from there you will find a pathway with stairs leading down to the Main Lodge and the small gravel road which is more or less 2 minutes' walk down to the Waterhole and Sunrise Chalets. Should you have a 4x4 vehicle you can drive closer to the Waterhole and Sunrise Chalets along the rocky road.

There is no restaurant or shop on the premises. Guests must bring their own ice, firewood and charcoal. Strictly no pets allowed.
