The upstairs honeymoon suite boasts stunning river views from both the bed and bath. Stanford River Lodge is located next to the Springfontein Wine Estate which is open for wine tasting and sales. Within 20 minutes drive from Stanford you will find the resort town of Hermanus with its many shops and restaurants, wine tasting, 11km cliff path walk, flea markets, art galleries, deep sea fishing, whale watching and golf courses. Gansbaai is in the other direction and boasts the best great white shark encounters, boat trips, fishing trips, beaches and wonderful views of Walker Bay. Caledon Spa & Casino is situated just over the mountain on natural hot springs where you can spend a day soaking in the springs and partaking in the many treatments at the Spa or have a flutter on the tables.
