Old Pumphouse at Land’s End | Luxury Riverside Escape on the Kariega River
Description
Set on the banks of the Kariega River, the Old Pumphouse at Land’s End Private Game Reserve is a secluded luxury escape designed for complete privacy and immersion in nature.
Once used as an irrigation pump station, this historic structure has been beautifully transformed into a romantic, off-grid retreat where modern comfort meets the raw beauty of the Eastern Cape wilderness.
Surrounded by mountains, riverbanks and free-roaming wildlife, this stay offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with nature.
From enjoying complimentary homemade roosterbrood on arrival to relaxing in a wood-fired hot tub overlooking the river, every moment is designed to feel intentional and unforgettable.
This is more than just a stay — it’s a private riverside experience in the heart of the bush.
