The Riverbend Art Gallery was opened in 1984 as an added attraction to Riverbend Crocodile Farm. For many years now the gallery has been home to the works of many of South Africa's finest artists.

Since those early days the Gallery has grown somewhat in size and sophistication. With the addition of the new conference facilities in 2004 the opportunity arose to increase the area utilised by the Gallery.

The Gallery now has more space to showcase the paintings and as such can now show a larger diversity in products than was previously possible.

But the Gallery is not limited to art...as a lover of fine wines and beautiful art the Owner, Howard kelly, naturally expanded the Gallery to include top estate wines which are housed in a climatically controlled cellar within the Gallery.

In 2007 the inaugural Riverbend Spring Wine Festival was hosted and as a result of it's success it has grown into an annual event.

The Riverbend Art Gallery is a professional operation stocking only quality pieces of art and top estate wines. Some of the services offered at the gallery include:

• Authentication certificates for original pieces
• Art appraisals
• Investment opportunities in art
• Framing service
• Art freighting service
• Annual wine festival
• Top estate wines
• Nearby crocodile farm
• Light meals at the crocodile cafe
