LIVING

If you enjoy a morning coffee on the porch or unwinding in a warm hot tub, every moment in Tolbos Haven is surrounded by a view of the Riviersonderend mountain. Tolbos Cottage has a large relaxing living area with a fully equipped kitchen and combustion fireplace.

The large covered patio has a undercover braai, out door dining table as well as a chilling nook with outside sofas and chairs. This cottage also offers a private wood fired hot tub.

THE AREA

Tolbos Cottage is located on Bokriver Farm, 20 minutes east of Greyton and 10 minutes west of Riviersonderend. Bokrivier is a 1,5k hectare working farm that grows 6 different varieties of pecan nuts and runs a free range beef herd of robust Sussex cattle.

Bokriver is bounded on the south by the Riviersonderend River and climbs, at first gently, through 300 hectare of virgin Renosterveld, and then steeply, to lofty mountain-fynbos covered peaks.

The quaint and beautiful village of Greyton is a mere 20 minutes drive away. Buy your produce from here - the most affordable, best quality meat, freshly grown veg, freshly baked bread and anything else you may need!

The town of Riviersonderend, 10 minutes away, marks the ‘start’ of the Garden Route and even though it isn’t officially on the route, it caters well for travellers who bustle back-and-forth on the freeway which passes through the town with numerous rest stops and fueling points.

GOOD TO KNOW

WiFi |10Mb

Solar powered, therefor unaffected by loadshedding.

The cottage is fenced and suitable for medium and large breeds. Two dogs per cottage limit; dogs are charged R250 per dog per stay. Please note no dogs are allowed on any furniture. Fencing cannot be guaranteed; some of the cottages only have normal farm fencing or none at all. Please clean up after your pet.

Bokriver's landscapes can be explored on foot, both gently and strenuously, swimming in both rivers or dams, from horseback, and for the diehards on mountain bikes. More indulgent pursuits fishing, birding, botaneering or simply mountain gazing.

Be sure to book a private picnic experience.

Some wood is provided (+- 100 pieces); if you need more, wood can be bought at R50 per crate paid prior to arrival. Remember to pack enough firelighters. Please note they do not allow guest to bring their own wood due to their tight control on invasive species.
