Location & Facilities

Riverside is a dairy farm in the heart of the Kamberg, situated between the conservation areas of the Kamberg Nature Reserve and Stillerust. There are two well-appointed self-catering thatch cottages merely a cast-away from the Mooi River, which meanders through the farm.

There are 3 dams stocked with Rainbow and Brown Trout, as well as a 6km stretch of one of the last remaining wild Brown Trout Rivers.

Should you not wish to fly-fish, there are walks to Bushman Rock Art, game viewing and hunting along the slopes of the Kamberg. You may even catch a glimpse of the Lammergeyers at our vulture restaurant.

Riverside is within easy striking distance of a number of other attractions - adjacent Bushman rock art & Trout Hatchery at the Kamberg Nature Reserve, Giant's Castle and the Midlands Meander.
