Riverina

Riverina”, the oldest holiday cottage in Stilbaai, was erected on the western bank of the Goukou River by Johannes Guillaume Steyn in the early 1880’s. After his death, the property was bought by Dirk Versfeld in 1896. His meticulous hoisting of the Union Jack every morning, gave rise to the naming of the suburb as ‘Little England’ by the locals.

His grandson, David James, carefully restored the dwelling to its former glory during 1995. It was further refurbished in 2024 in the style inwhich it was built, Boland farmhouse, and is now available to rent as holiday accommodation.Riverina occupies a prime position, right on the river estuary and next to the Palingfontein and small beach. It has a farm-style kitchen, stoep with river views, sheltered braai area and piano. It is fully equipped for a self-catering stay, with e.g. all new beds and bedding,
