Easter is over, but you don’t need a loooong weekend to get away and relax alongside the sound of a bubbly river. 2 hours’ drive from Cape Town is a little piece of heaven. You can go fishing, read a book on the stoep, enjoy a walk in nature’s beauty.... just get away for 2 days to enjoy peace and quiet. Book your weekend at The River Cottage... you won’t want to come home.😌 . .
