It isn’t difficult to understand why Herman Charles Bosman loved this area so much, finding great inspiration to write all his renowned legendary short stories.

Some of the gems in this mysterious and intriguing region are The Eye or Die Oog, known for its crystal clear water, and the amazing, artistic people who make fascinating stuff and have plenty of stories to tell as well.

Many people are envious of the simple lifestyle of many of the town’s inhabitants and the closest they can get to experience this amazing lifestyle is to book into one of the self-catering establishments such as the Riverstill Guest Farm which lies some 6 kilometers away from Groot Marico.

The self-catering cottages are beautifully situated next to the Groot Marico river where visitors can enjoy privacy, peace, and complete relaxation.

What’s on Offer at Riverstill Guest Farm:

• Five wonderful rustic houses scattered on the farm offer privacy and leisure and a close encounter with nature. The cottages are in keeping with the rustic atmosphere of Groot Marico – take your pick from Caspir’s Kaya Cottage, Davids’s Cottage which is perfect for two people and which has a reed ceiling, or try Stroh House, or River Cottage.
• cottages have showers
• River Still co-hosts the Herman Charles Bosman Festival each year
• there is an organic herb garden and you can add some to your salads
• fireplaces
• braai facilities – bring your own firewood with you
• enjoy a refreshing dip in the clean and unpolluted waters of the Groot Marico River
