River’s Edge is a delightful riverside double storey country home with stylish furnishings and rolling lawns down to the river bank. The house itself sleeps up to eight guests in four bedrooms, each tastefully decorated. Downstairs offers a farm-style fully equipped open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area with a Morso fireplace, big sash windows and double doors leading out onto the covered verandah and braai (barbecue) area. Rivers Edge is not all old world charm though: the house has a good range of holiday gadgets, including DSTV, iPod docking station and most importantly, a dishwasher in the scullery room. The house sleeps up to eight guests in four bedrooms, each tastefully decorated with period furniture, screeded floors and large sash windows. The main bedroom upstairs has a king four-poster bed , en-suite bathroom with freestanding Victorian bath, private balcony and views over the garden and riverbank. Bedroom two has a queen four-poster bed an en-suite bathroom. Bedroom three has a double four-poster bed and inter-leading bathroom shared with bedroom four - a smaller bedroom with bunk beds suitable for children/teens. Lush lawns lead down to the pristine Klein River where you can swim, boat or kayak and admire the natural splendour – or your could simply laze around the pool. Guests have full access to the entire house and we invite you to make use of the paddle ski in the garage. Our property manager, Janet is available to assist during your stay. Stanford, an unspoilt village in the Cape Overberg, features an assortment of Cape Victorian and Edwardian architecture, quaint country lanes and an overall atmosphere of natural calm. Pristine yet laid-back, this heritage enclave is the perfect balm for families needing to escape the city crush. There is a fantastic market every Saturday morning - we encourage you to get there just before 10am - things sell out quickly! "Stanford is a strong contender for South Africa’s best country dorp. A short drive from its more touristy neighbour, Hermanus, it’s got that quiet country charm of pancake stands on the main road on Saturday morning, food markets with organic farm-fresh produce, broekie-laced quaint pubs, and friendly locals. Stanford also offers fantastic restaurants, including the award-winning Mariana’s, a wine route with some up-and-coming wineries, and a renowned microbrewery. There’s a wealth of activities for outdoorsy types. Just beyond the town are scenic mountain biking trails, there’s canoeing and cruising on Klein Rivier, and Salmonsdam Nature Reserve has scenic hiking trails amongst mountain fynbos, forests and waterfalls. There’s something to please everyone in Stanford, and coupled with its convenient location in the Overberg (it’s close to Gansbaai, Elim, Cape Agulhas and De Hoop Nature Reserve) means that if it’s not at the top of your dorp to-do list, it should be." The house is within a short walk of the centre of the village.
