BREEDEKLOOF CAMINO MEETS RIVER EDGE: A RESTFUL RETREAT ON THE TRAIL

Posted on Mon June 9, 2025.

Tucked away in the heart of the Breedekloof Wine Valley, River Edge Accommodation offers more than just breathtaking views and tranquil riverbank stays. We are proud to be one of the overnight stops on the unforgettable BreedeKloof Camino – a 5-day, 74 km guided walking tour that weaves through vineyards, valleys, and rugged mountain paths, pairing every step with the spirit of the Cape Winelands.

Where Hikers Unwind in Comfort

On Day 4 of the Camino, after 21 kilometres of scenic walking—from high mountain contour paths to panoramic views of Botha Cellar and Bosjes—walkers are warmly welcomed at River Edge Accommodation. Here, a rewarding gin tasting at Monks Gin Distillery is followed by a well-earned celebratory dinner. And then… pure bliss.

Our accommodation sits on a working grape and blueberry farm, offering a peaceful haven where tired feet can rest and adventurous hearts can reflect. Whether soaking in a wood-fired hot tub under the stars or sipping a glass of local wine on the stoep, our guests quickly discover why River Edge is the ultimate midpoint highlight of the Camino journey.

A Unique Blend of Nature, Luxury, and Local Flavour

Each stay includes:

Comfortable cottages with all the comforts of home

Farm-style hospitality in a truly South African setting

Stunning views of the Breede River and surrounding mountains

The sounds of nature to lull you into restful sleep before your final walking day

More Than Just a Stop — It’s a Memory in the Making

For many Camino travellers, River Edge is where the magic of the Breede Valley truly sinks in. It’s a space to slow down, connect with fellow hikers, and savour the journey. As hosts, we’re honoured to be part of this soulful experience that celebrates wine, walking, and wonder
