Botrivier

On the way to Hermanus, the Houw Hoek Mountains' foothills are home to the little, charming settlement of Botrivier. The Bot River, for which the hamlet bears its name, flows through a fertile valley bordered by fynbos-covered mountains, old wine vineyards, and wheat fields. Numerous waterfowl call these marshes home and one of the last groups of wild horses is known to wander the region. Botrivier is perfect for those who want to avoid the crowds during whale watching season yet staying nearby for convenient access because of its history of welcoming visitors. Botrivier is a paradise for those who enjoy the outdoors, wine enthusiasts and artists and the setting's utter tranquillity offers a true vacation.
