We stayed at the River Manor for two nights as part of our honeymoon in May 2013. The hotel is very pretty, with extremely friendly and helpful staff, and a relaxed atmosphere. Our room, the junior honeymoon suite, was large, well appointed, and very comfortable. River Manor's central location is ideal for exploring the vibrant university town of Stellenbosch, yet... More

We stayed at the River Manor for three night near the beginning of our honeymoon and it was definitely one of the nicest places we stayed. We were greeted by the friendly staff on arrival and a glass of sparkling wine was brought to our room. The River Manor is quaint with beautiful old rooms and lovely gardens. The staff... More

Visited in early May 2013 for 3 nights. Our room was fine although we could have done with some bath robes and we had asked for the minibar to be stocked but this never happened. Perhaps because this was slightly out of season but we found the service to be a little lacklustre. We had to search out a member... More

On a quiet avenue but a mere stroll into Stellenbosch provides you with an enjoyable short stay facility. Although the facilities are limited, less is definitely more in this delightful boutique residence. The staff are friendly and helpful. Not a place to stay more than 3 days - in my opinion. Well worth a visit if you plan to stay... More

We spent the first two nights of our honeymoon recently at River Manor. We've been familiar with the hotel since it opened in 1997 and can only say that their success is well-deserved. From the one house they had then to the two adjacent properties with combined gardens and two pools, the guesthouse exudes a calm comfort with a lot... More
