LOCATION & DIRECTIONS
Set on the peaceful banks of the Arieskraal Dam and Palmiet River in the Elgin Valley
A place where fynbos-covered hillsides, orchards, vineyards, and wide open water create a stay that feels private, peaceful and wonderfully remote. Designed for families and groups seeking an elegant escape, the home brings the outdoors in through expansive glass doors and an open flow that connects every moment to the landscape.
Here, mornings begin with birdsong drifting across the dam, afternoons are spent gliding on kayaks or floating lazily on the water, and evenings unfold around glowing braai fires or in a wood-fired hot tub beneath the sunset. Whether gathering for a special occasion or simply taking time to reconnect, River Magic offers the space, comfort and beauty to make memories together.
Location Overview
River Magic is intentionally tucked away, surrounded by fynbos, orchards, and red rock hillsides. Because of the remote setting:
- The last section of the route is on gravel roads
- Please be considerate of the neighbouring farms by driving slowly and carefully
- Plan your route and timings so that you arrive before nightfall. Avoid driving in the dark
We recommend screenshotting the route before you begin, as mobile signal may vary.
Directions
- Exact location and directions will be sent with booking confirmation.
Important: If it has rained recently, the road may be muddy. Most vehicles manage the road fine, but drive slowly and allow extra time.
