Worlds Apart - The River offers Self Catering Accommodation, Camping & Function Venue on the banks of the Breede River, Robertson Wine Valley
Worlds Apart - The River, a country farm with luxury tented villas situated on the banks of the Breede River, 2 hours from Cape Town.
A serene oasis that is perfect for weekend getaways, a place to just relax and a unique location for events, retreats, workshops and moments you'll never forget. A place to live, work, play and connect.
The relaxing, riverfront setting is ideal for fishing (bass and carp), canoeing, bird watching or just relaxing in the shade under the giant bluegum trees and enjoying a braai. We are close to numerous famous wine farms and estates (yes they do wine tastings) while quad biking, 4x4 & mountain bike trails, river rafting and a 9 hole golf course are all close by.
Bonnievale is 30 minutes from Swellendam, 20 minutes from Robertson and 15 minutes away from route 62.
