Riversdale's ideal location gives it the advantage of being a short traveling distance to seaside towns such as Still Bay, Gouritsmond and Witsand and is also an excellent base for one-day trips to explore the variety of natural beauty, interesting places, charming 19th century restored houses, breathtaking hiking, hang gliding, fishing and water sports, 4 x 4 trails, and absailing alongside waterfalls.

Riversdale, Home of the Sleeping Beauty mountain peak - a well known landmark which never fails to capture the imagination - has earned its name of the Floral Paradise of the Garden Route because of the abundance of indigenous flora - referred to as Fynbos - which covers the mountains and surrounding areas.
