Peaceful Retreat

The place is amazing, quiet and peaceful. If you want to getaway from the city this is a place to be. The rooms were clean and food was delicious. I will definitely be back.

Accommodation Description

Riverbend on Komati is a private, 8-sleeper guest house nestled in the heart of the Komati Gorge Wildlife & Fly-fishing Reserve, a 2,500-hectare nature reserve with 12 km of the Komati River running through it. Positioned on the top of a gorge, this luxury accommodation offers spectacular 360-degree views of the Komati River and the northern Drakensberg mountains, and is washed in the sound of the water rushing over the weir below.


The house has four bedrooms: two queen en-suite rooms, another queen room, and one with twin beds, each offering magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. One queen room is set slightly apart from the main house and is self-contained, with its own full bathroom and fireplace. There are two full bathrooms in the main house, a fully equipped kitchen with a 6-plate stove, a breakfast nook and scullery, an open-plan dining area, a lounge with fireplace, and a covered patio with a braai area. A cosy nook at the back of the house is perfect for afternoon tea, while a fire pit overlooking the river sets the scene for evening bonfires. The house is fully equipped with a gas stove and oven, pressure cooker, coffee machine, fridge, dishwasher, and washing machine for your convenience.
