Rivers Own Guest Lodge is a highly recommended property for self catering in Bainskloof for up to 15 guests visiting the Breede River Valley region.
Rivers Own Guest Lodge in the Mount Bain Reserve is a rare gem waiting to be enjoyed by anyone who makes the short 1h 30 minute trip from Cape Town to this exquisitely appointed river side getaway.
The river itself is your private part of what is the clearest and cleanest water in the country, flowing directly from the surrounding mountains which carry the invigorating stillness and energy so craved for by those hungry for an enriching time out, or holiday.
There are five bedrooms, two of which have king beds and an en-suite shower room. One of which has a king bed and an en-suite bathroom. Fourth room has a queen bed, three single beds and access to the shared bathroom. The fifth bedroom has a queen bed, two single beds and an en-suite shower room.
The layout is very open plan, you enter the house with the living room area to your left and the kitchen to your right, the sunken kids room directly passed the living room and the extra bathroom beyond the fully kitchen.
There is a covered outdoor seating area. The pool area is centrally located in front of all the bedroom entrances and the outdoor seating area overlooks the pool too. There is a braai area, pizza oven and rotisserie / spit braai set up, all alongside the pool.
Within 15 minutes you can be wine tasting, kloofing, hiking, trail running, mountain biking and just 30 minutes away you can pick cherries or play in the snow (winter). Even with all these activities so close by, Rivers Own somehow captivates many guests who realise at the end of their stay they had no need to move once they were pulled into the spell of the river and its serene banks that demand all day picnics.

We had an amazing Christmas away at Rivers own. The amenities are top notch, and loadshedding was not even a problem. The peace, tranquility and fresh air was a welcomed experience after a tough post Covid year. We even enjoyed having the dogs visit a few times. The kids and adults alike had the best time. We will definitely be back.

Boys weekend away saying goodbye to a friend moving overseas. All I can say, is that the guest lodge was pure magic - the most incredible weekend away we have had in a long time. The area/scenery you cannot beat - your own river, mountains, large grass area to play some soccer or cricket, etc on. The lodge has everything thing you need for self catering and more, everything is well maintained. Having a massive braai inside and outside, and having a big fireplace for 'atmosvuur' and warmth inside was everything we could of hoped for. Take a dip in the lake, swim in the sparkling pool and then chill in the wood fired hot tub. Extra touches include aircons in all rooms and also electric blankets on all the beds. Never ran out of hot water and the water pressure is excellent for showers. The amount of wood you get for your stay - will never run out and is most generous. From all 11 of us boys we will remember the weekend for the rest of our lives, we will definitely be back sooner than later :)
