We really enjoyed our stay here. The host and owner were both very friendly and helpful. The place was clean and comfortable, and had everything you would need for your stay. We worked remotely from here and the setup was perfect. It was very accessible to the lagoon for kitesurfing. Also had a nice big area for washing kiting gear.

Amazing views, ocean & river on your doorstep

JustinRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Leigh’s house has unparalleled views of the river estuary. The home is very well appointed and in a secure estate. It’s close enough to moor your boat at the Breede river lodge which is very convenient. We will be back again for sure.

LTB - Kalm Riverside Living

НикитаRating, 5 stars2 months ago

I recently spent a few unforgettable days fishing with my family — and it was absolutely amazing! We stayed in a cozy, spacious house that turned out to be perfect for our getaway: clean, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything we needed. Each morning started with fresh air, birds singing, and the peaceful sounds of nature. The fishing was great — the fish were biting, and the kids were especially thrilled when they caught their first fish! In the evenings, we gathered around the fire, enjoying toasted snacks, heartfelt conversations, and lots of laughter. These were truly warm, meaningful days that I’d love to relive. Thank you for the wonderful atmosphere and the chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle — moments like these stay in your memory forever.

Beautiful house on the Breede River

GregoryRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Location is top class right on the river, Henk is easy to communicate with and allowed us to stay later on check-out. The main house is nicely done, with a big entertaining area, perfect for large family gatherings. The cottages at the back are needing some TLC - the upstairs bathroom in particular. The 6th bedroom is stuffy and small, so plan for the 5 bedrooms and you'll have a blast, esp if you rent a boat, loads of fun to be had.
