Escape to drakenskloof

The River Garden

If the heated pool is the heart of Drakenskloof, then the natural river is its soul. The perennial Bastiaanskloof River, just 100 meters from India House, invites you to make dipping into its refreshing waters a cherished daily ritual. Start your morning with its invigorating embrace, cool off during the heat of the day, or reward yourself with a soothing plunge after a run, cycle, or hike.

The river garden is nature's playground, where children can explore the creatures both inside and out, while mom, dad, and everyone else settle into full relaxation. Shady trees, oversized pouffes, and sun loungers provide an idyllic setting for picnics, afternoon mezze, or a more formal dinner under the stars, making it the perfect spot to create unforgettable moments with the people you love.
