“This family-run hotel sits right on the Breede River, making it ideal for exploring the Lower Breede River Conservancy. The riverside location is more than scenic; it's an invitation to water sports and easy access to one of South Africa's last ferries. The traditional South African cooking is a highlight for family-friendly dining.”
