The Riverhouse

Step outside and let the river set the pace

​

Step into a living landscape where the gardens grow wild, the pool shimmers under the sun, and the fire pit becomes a gathering place under the stars.

This is where mornings stretch gently and evenings invite stories — a place to feel the earth under your feet and the sky wide above you. 

It’s the little things that make a big difference.

​

We’ve taken care of every detail so you can focus on relaxing. From fresh linen and fluffy towels to the warmth of a fireplace on a cool evening, every comfort is ready and waiting to make your stay easy and unforgettable.

• Tucked away, yet close to everything that matters.

•  

• The Riverhouse sits in a pocket of nature where the river keeps time and the air feels lighter, yet you’re only minutes from the vibrant energy of Johannesburg’s northern suburbs. Spend your days exploring nearby nature reserves, farmers’ markets, art galleries, and local eateries — then return to the quiet embrace of the Sanctuary as the sun sets. Here, you have the best of both worlds: stillness when you need it, adventure when you want it.

A space that shapes the moments you’ll never forget.

The Heart Studio at the Sanctuary was created for gatherings that matter — from intimate workshops and retreats to creative collaborations and soulful celebrations. Sunlight pours through wide windows, nature frames every view, and the atmosphere carries a sense of presence that makes each event feel meaningful.

Whether you’re hosting a corporate retreat, a conscious living workshop, or a private celebration, this is a place where people don’t just meet — they connect.
