Welcome

In the dappled shade of huge trees, Rivermead is a long, generously-proportioned house on the westerly slopes of the Grahamstown valley, with commanding views of the wooded university campus and the Settler's Monument on its promontory beyond.
Huge sliding glass doors protected by bleached Provençal-blue shutters allow guests free access to views, fresh air and the private patio and veranda spaces that surround the house. A large saltwater pool, an all-weather tennis court and a barbecue area are further enticements to enjoy the active lifestyle options of this spacious enclave.
The shared areas inside are open-plan and resonate with unfussy confidence and style - this is your home during your stay, not a decorator's warehouse!
Space is the ultimate luxury and Rivermead offers you oodles of that, along with subtle sensory treats like the finest textiles and bedlinen and rich finishes like Taung marble tiles and transluscent sand-blasted glass doors in the en suite bathrooms.
Fully equipped with all mod cons, all three units have en suite bathrooms. The two suites each have a private living room and the third unit has a dressing cabinet.
