What a pleasant surprise. Truly a secluded retreat tucked away along the R50, between the Watervalrivierbend and the R50. Food was excellent, the gazebos well placed with comfortable sofas, chairs and floor cushions. There's also a rather large open field where young people of all ages can run around, play ball and thoroughly enjoy themselves. The quiet surroundings allow for a peaceful visit and a leisurely stroll along the stream. A short distance from the reception- and event hosting areas, there are overnight cabins that are fully equipped for a comfortable night's rest.

It was my sister’s birthday and the staff came to sing for her and danced with her. The food was nice. The waiter was nice well. The atmosphere was chilled not packed. The place is clean even the restrooms

Riverside Lounge - A Hidden Gem! 🌟 We recently discovered Riverside Lounge, and we're still raving about it! The staff treated us like celebrities, and the food was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was awesome, perfect for a special celebration. Dr. Raman - The Perfect Host 🙏 The cherry on top was when Dr. Raman, the owner, personally came to welcome us and wish Dr. Darko a happy birthday. Talk about top-class treatment! A Must-Visit Destination 🌊 We've traveled extensively in South Africa and Europe, but Riverside Lounge truly stands out. We're proud to support local businesses like this one.

OMG this place was so beautiful, if I lived closer I'd definitely be a regular. The food was awesome, the service was out of this world great and they were ever so available to serve. The place is immaculately clean and the toilets are clean too. We had a kids bday party there hosted by my SIL and the other side was a bar, the place is so serene and great for hosting bday parties, intimate weddings, bookclub, a girls night out etc. The structure is beautiful and unique. Honestly for me this place is top tier.

🌟 A Wonderful Experience at Riverside Lounge 🌟 We had an amazing picnic at Riverside Lounge and were blown away by the delicious Meat & Cheese platters – they were absolutely delightful! The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel warmly welcomed throughout our visit. The view was exceptionally beautiful, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing outing. The atmosphere was lovely, and the decor added a touch of charm and elegance to the entire experience. We’ll definitely be back for another visit soon! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a serene and enjoyable outing. 💕
