Wine on the River at Rietvallei Wine Estate

I don’t know about you, but I love getting out of the city and heading for the country for the weekend. Long weekends are even better!

This self-catering cottage is ideally situated on Goudmyn Farm, which is on the R317 with neighbouring farms De Wetshof and Van Loveren.
