We have finally unveiled our newly renovated Springfontein River Lodge – designed by renowned German architect Sigrid Mantz. With more than 500 m of direct river front, a private jetty, and a bird spectacle guaranteed, the eight rooms offer the perfect hideaway. Only a short walking distance from Springfontein’s main toursim area, the Lodge offers a new perspective on the beauty of the farm and the surroundings.
The river can accessed for water activites and swimming. Together with the Kleinriver mountains in the background, it also offers the perfect setting for Sundowner, as the water becomes flat like a mirror during golden hour. The Lodge offers three Riverview Rooms, three Riverview Suites, our River Panorama Suite on the first floor, and the Family Suite. Each room has their own balcony and offers exclusive, magnificent views.
