River House Lodge is a architectural wonder constructed in the 1990's, creating the impression of having been around for a long time. The founders have travelled far and wide to procure antique building materials for the house to incorporate these into the building, such as: Balconies, doors and windows from India aging 500+ years, sandstone pillars from the historical Union Buildings in Pretoria, carved granite lintels and slabs from a demolished Victorian building that once stood on Church Square, Pretoria, and much more.
Surviving the great Crocodile river flood 2000, we have grown and flurished in Malelane - Mpumalanga South African. Come walk through our history and our beautiful garden.
