Nestled in the beautiful valley of Tonteldoos, Riverman Cabin is the perfect place to exchange traffic for donkeys lazily grazing, rushed lunches for a picnic in the veld and city noises for an evening song, sung by crickets and orchestrated by frogs. Riverman Cabin is situated in the Tonteldoos Valley, +-30 km northeast of Dullstroom, which is approximately a 3-hour drive from Johannesburg.
Riverman Cabin consists of seven independent cabins – three of which are stone cabins, one brick cabin, and the other three are wooden cabins.
All the cabins are fully furnished and equipped for a homely self-catering experience. All the cabins are open plan with cosy indoor fireplaces, as well as private, external braai areas with complimentary wood stocked for the first night.
Riverman Cabin is a pet-friendly establishment. Kindly visit the bookings page to familiarize yourself with our policies regarding pets.
The Host's are so friendly. Our car was in an accident, and they helped us out with a lift back to the City. Thank Percy and Karin Riverman is definitely the perfect place to recharge and rest. We loved every minute our stay. Food was amazing and the property was perfectly located. communication from the host before hand was great and they made us feel so at home during our stay. great service and the loved our fur babies Percy and Karin went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. The food was excellent. They went above and beyond in catering for my wife's allergies. Beautiful scenery and relaxing environment. We really recommend this place! The road to get to them is very rocky and bumpy, which they do warn you about. Take their warning seriously! Excellently equipped cottages on a beautiful property - where all you see is nature. Tranquility deluxe in this tucked away setting. Excellent valley for money Super helpful hosts The sand road getting there from Dullstroom is a bit rough but you get used to it Amazing place, amazing host, breakfast was great, was really happy with our stay. will go back. Cleanliness of the unit and attention to detail was fantastic. Crockery and cutlery were more than adequate. Great to have had proper wine glasses, and top quality crockery and cutlery. The bedding and towels were also of a great quality, thank you! Beautiful scenery. Neat, clean and well looked after facilities. Friendly, helpful hosts. Where to start. It was peaceful and quiet and the owners are amazing. They really go out of the way with the extras to give you a homely feel. It was beautiful and so well kept. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a chance go get away from the hussle and bussle. Jis, julle het 'n hidden gem! Karin en Percy, dankie vir AL julle moeite om 2 weke voor ons datum in te gestem het vir ons troue! En dat ons net kon oorvat enaangaan! Ons het elke oomblik so geniet, en heeeeeerlik gekuier!!! Ek beveel jul graag en met liefde aan vir mense!!! Groete die Scholtz'e , 24/09/2018 What a fantastic break! Walking with our dog in the untouched nature. Very dog friendly and lots of peaceful picnic spots. Definitely take picnic hear with and a good book to read under a shady tree. It was a great break!!! The accommodation and venue were great. Enjoyed the fishing and had plenty of time for relaxation. The fun chats with the hosts at the restaurant. Such chill time. They even helped us out with some meat for a last minute braai. Best need patties ever! The place is AMAZING....its secluded and is great for reconnecting with loved ones but can we have wifi please The hospitality is great, food is awesome do highly recommend Riverman Cabin will be back.
Where to begin...what an amazing weekend!!! From the bubbly to the specially made "roomys-koek". The hospitality, service and the food were outstanding. Thank you Karin and Percy for making it the best weekend ever! Value for money and the friendliness of the owners was great. They were also very helpful. Lovely! Peace and quiet, no cell phone reception A peaceful visit in a beautiful area The beautiful scenery and farm animals. Very friendly little dog as well. We would all like to thank you for having us over the Easter weekend. We had a blast and we had an amazing stay at your beautiful place!!!
Would most definitely recommend your place to anyone. A two night stay away from the hustle and bustle, very peaceful and relaxing. Owners very hospitable. Go in via dullstroom, the stoffberg road needs some work. Thanks for an awesome stay! What a magical weekend! Wonderful hosts, excellent pork chops, breakfast and muffins! Coldest Jaegermeister ever! Made lots of new friends, of who my favourite was the local dog Jack!!! Can't wait to go back and stay longer! It was very peaceful and quite. we really enjoyed the fishing and the hospitality. We loved every minute of it. Only small issue was the toilet leaking and not flushing properly.But overall I enjoyed the place and would return in a heart beat Loved the rustic accommodation and bird life was good.The dams on property are ponds not really good for fishing.Nice having restaurant on site and enjoyed driving range.Getting there I would advise a vehicle with high clearance as road is bad in places.Tonteldoos is a place we will return to. Peaceful, calm, lovely accommodation. Pet Friendly.We had a blissful 5 days & cant wait to go back! We had a really great weekend away. Very welcoming and friendly hosts. Clean room with everything we needed. Really quite and beautiful farm. The dogs absolutely loved it and loved swimming in the dams. The breakfast was amazing! Will definitely go back in the future. It was such a relaxing weekend! The road to Riverman not the best, but part of the experience. The accommodation was excellent, well maintained and met all our expectations. The lack of cell phone reception made it an even better stay. It is a beautiful setting and the thunderstorms and lightning experienced during our stay made it all the more special. We can definitely recommend the bacon and cheeseburgers at the restaurant - they were absolutely delicious! Well equiped clean cabins with stunning views. Warm, friendly service. Thanks very much Thanks to Percy and Karin for a very lovely stay.We stayed in the Wiggly Stone cabin. Very nicely decorated and comfortable, love the fireplace. The food was also excellent. If you seek quiet serenity, fresh farm air and waking up to the birds chirping, this is the place to be. Will definitely be coming back for a longer stay. My little one had a blast playing with Jack the dog. Child and pet friendly. The road via Stoffberg is also quite manageable, the dirt road is not too bad.Hope to be back soon. The Riverman Cabin is a great place to get away from the noise of the city and to recharge. Situated in a quiet country side with limited cellphone coverage, you are forced to take a deep breath and relax. The road from Dullstroom was not the best, but it was manageable. The host was very friendly and helpful, making for the perfect stay. Will recommend it to anyone looking for a short breakaway. What a little Gem! Total Peace and Quiet with wonderful accommodation and lovely and friendly hosts. The accommodation allowed all to be in the same place but have some privacy when needed. Everything was clean and tidy and Karin went out of her way to accommodate a large party and all our requirements. Will make use of this venue again. Access roads from Dullstroom not very suitable for normal sedan. Beautiful surroundings, quaint little cabin! It is fully equipped and has a lovely, homely atmosphere. Wish we could stay longer. :-) The peace & open space. Our Golden.Cabin was very dark inside. Thank you for allowing us to bring our 2 Border Collies who were bathed & have Frontline applied monthly to protect them from ticks & flees. They are not allowed on furniture, however we were bitten badly at night whilst sleeping. Didn't notice mosquitoes so not sure if it was bed bugs. A beautiful area to visit. Thank you very much.
