Stay close to what matters.

Riverside Sanctuary

Self-catering cottages on the banks of the Magalies River. Nature, space and stillness, right where you need them.

The Land

A sanctuary carved by the river.

Set within the Cradle of Humankind, Oude Doornbosch follows the rhythm of the Magalies River. Established gardens, riverine trees, and open lawns create a quiet setting for two independent cottages.

Solar-backed power, gas appliances, and self-catering kitchens keep each stay comfortable and independent.
