Heartwarming River Club Cottage Graced by Floral Aromas

SOLE MANDATE

Once inside River Club’s manned gate, the calming harmony of light-coloured homes with green roofs line winding roads until you arrive at a cheerful, sunny-yellow cottage. You park in the single-car garage and step into the front garden, wrapped in a white picket fence, where the soft aroma of jasmine and lavender fills the air, creating a wholesome sense of home. An inviting north-facing porch, framed by jasmine climbing over pergolas and pillars, gazes out over the flower-filled garden and the greenbelt cliff beyond—a place to linger in warm sunlight throughout the day, cup of tea in hand, and sink into pure contentment.

Double front doors with tasteful wrought-iron accents open to a welcoming lounge with a built-in wall unit for display and storage. The space flows through a dining area into a cottage-style kitchen, provisioned for a dishwasher, where charming wood-look cabinetry, black granite countertops, a gas hob and oven, and a built-in pantry meet the practicality of a counter peninsula with casual seating.

To the right of the kitchen, a tucked-away TV lounge creates a cozy second living space and spills out to a courtyard, walled for privacy yet softened by climbing bougainvillea: the perfect setting for outdoor dining and relaxed weekend braai’s. To the left, a door leads to a sunny vegetable patch, ideal for cultivating herbs and produce—because nothing tastes better than a tomato plucked straight from the garden—while to the right, a discreet loop leads to a separate laundry room with a drying yard and garden tool shed.

Back inside, the exceptionally spacious master bedroom lies to the right of the dining area, boasting garden views, built-in storage, an en-suite bathroom, and a charming integrated corner office. Comfort is assured through air-conditioning and underfloor heating beneath wood-look laminate floors. To the left of the dining area, a second bedroom includes built-in storage, a ceiling fan, its own en-suite bathroom, and direct access to the garden.

River Club is a premier lifestyle estate boasting resort-style amenities including a clubhouse, pool, tennis and squash courts, children’s playground, and riverfront boardwalks that meander along the lush water’s edge. With its prime location, you’re always an easy walk to shops and Plettenberg Bay’s famous beaches, making this adorable cottage ideal for both permanent living and high-appeal rentals.
