Riverman Cabin Country Lodge - Tonteldoos

Finding Your Way to Riverman Cabin Country Lodge
Riverman Cabin is a farm situated in the hamlet of Tonteldoos, accessed via a 27 km gravel road from Dullstroom, with an estimated travel time of approximately 40 minutes along our preferred route. Please note that alternative routes may involve more challenging terrain and may require a 4x4 vehicle.

What to Expect on the Road
Due to our remote, private and mountainous location, guests should be prepared for typical country-road conditions. Our gravel access road has corrugations, potholes and uneven sections, making for a bumpy ride in places. A high-clearance vehicle is strongly recommended. The journey is best suited to travellers with a sense of adventure and a little patience!

If you are travelling in a sedan, please drive slowly and carefully. On suitable tyres, reducing tyre pressure to approximately 1.9 bar may improve comfort on corrugated gravel. Always check your vehicle and tyre manufacturer's recommendations before adjusting pressure. Low-profile vehicles are not recommended due to the risk of tyre, wheel and underbody damage.

Travelling During the Rainy Season
Our rainy season falls mainly during the summer months, typically from October to April. Heavy rainfall can leave sections of the road muddy, slippery and more difficult to navigate. Please exercise extra caution, allow additional travel time and contact us before departure if there has been heavy rain. Access cannot be guaranteed during adverse weather conditions.

We Recommend Travelling During Daylight
Where possible, please plan your arrival during daylight hours. This makes navigating the gravel road easier and gives you the opportunity to appreciate the beautiful scenery, roaming animals and unspoilt natural surroundings along the way.

Please remember that there is no cellphone reception on the farm, so save your directions or download your map before leaving Dullstroom.

The journey may be bumpy, but the fresh air, peaceful surroundings and beauty of the Tonteldoos Valley make it worthwhile. Take your time, enjoy the adventure, and we look forward to welcoming you to Riverman Cabin!
