The hotel rooms are spacious, very well equipped & comfortable, beautifully decorated & furnished; the garden is lovely & the pools very good. The service was... More

just spend another fantastic mini break at River Manor. it is the best place in the Cape to stay as far as i'm concerned. nothing is too much trouble for Justin (the manager) or Johan (owner). the decor is beautiful and very tastefully done. River Manor is conveniently located for all the wine estates and day trips to Chapmans Peak... More

He advised us of everything that Stellenbosh had to offer and was able to recommend some excellent restaurants and wine tours. Our room... More

The hotel is located in a nice peaceful neighbourhood and we felt safe walking around at night. Breakfast was good. We would definitely stay... More

We visited Stellenbosch on a 2 week holiday in South Africa as part of my dad’s birthday celebration. Stellenbosch itself is a lovely place and I’d highly recommend a visit, though I’d probably advise to stay elsewhere. Our stay at river Manor was quite disappointing given the price that is charged, and the standard that the hotel bills itself at.... More

My family and I stayed here for a few days before Christmas. Justin and his team were exceptionally welcoming and hospitable. Nothing was too much trouble, and Justin was very helpful with sightseeing tips etc. Our rooms were large, as were the bathrooms, stylishly furnished and equipped, and the decor was in an old colonial style. Everything was very clean... More

What a little relaxed gem! Stellenbosch is chilled, historic and relaxed! Stayed at this hotel on a one night break organised by The Winedeskwaterfront in Cape Town. What a place, the town is great. The hotel is understated and efficient. It occupies two old private houses on 'The Avenue' down by the river. It is within easy walking distance of... More
