We stayed at River Manor at the beginning of March, which was nearing the end of our stay. The welcome was warm and even with the limited parking we need not have worried as they parked the car on site as we were checking in. Service around the pool was impeccable and attentive and we never had to go looking... More

We had stayed just one night on our last trip to SA and wanted to return and stay longer. Had the same large superior room with equally large bath/shower room and stayed 3 nights. Not much to add to other reviews - the appeal of comfort, courteous staff, location, good breakfasts and a very welcoming, relaxing atmosphere - almost like... More

The gardens are well maintained and you can smell the guava tree scent just about everywhere. There are 2 smallish pools to lounge around (it... More

A lovely old manor house with beautifully manicured gardens, warming fires indoors and approachable staff, we found the hotel a lovely spot for a weekend break. Our room was spacious, with modern amenities while also being a... More

Location: on a leafy street in central Stellenbosch. Beware when driving around this town. Very deep drainage gulleys to the sides of the road. Easy walk into town from this hotel, and quite safe even during darkness. This is a university town. Description: beautiful hotel formed by 2 houses being joined together. Grand old style of property. Parking: at front,... More

Dear John, Thank you for your review! We really do appreciate detailed reviews such as this, which gives readers a better picture of what to expect! Just to elaborate on a few points mentioned: 1.

We were booked into this hotel by a holiday company and didn't know what to expect. What a delight! Great location, lovely rooms, very attentive staff and 2 fabulous wee pools to lie by and enjoy the sun. The hotel is very close to the centre of Stellenbosch making it easy to walk out in the evening to get to... More
