Click thumbnail to enlarge

Riverside is a dairy farm in the heart of the Kamberg, situated between the conservation areas of the Kamberg Nature Reserve and Stillerust.

Riverside offers accommodation in two well-appointed self-catering thatch cottages merely a cast-away from the Mooi River, which meanders through the farm. Fisherman's Cottage provides accommodation for 6 people whilst Hunters' Cottage accommodates 4 people. The cottages are serviced daily.

Riverside has 3 dams stocked with rainbow and brown trout. These dams are open all year round and are stocked annually with trout from the local Kamberg Trout Hatchery.

You can fish for Wild Brown Trout along both banks of a 6 km stretch of the Mooi River, one of the last remaining Wild Brown Trout rivers.

There are a number of self-guided walks into the surrounding mountains; else you can hike at the adjacent Kamberg Nature Reserve, a highlight being the walk to view the Bushman Rock Art.

While walking or driving on Riverside, it is possible to see Southern Reed Buck, Oribi, Duiker, Eland, Hartebeest, Black Wildebeest, Vaal Rhebok and Blesbuck.

There is an abundance of birdlife at Riverside. The Secretary Bird and the endangered Wattled Crane can often be seen in the fields.

The endangered Bearded Lammergeyer and the common Cape Vulture can be seen when a carcass has been put out at the Vulture Restaurant.
