Just absolutely stunning and picturesque - ultra relaxing and beautifully furnished. Will definitely be back (minimal kids too which is always a bonus).

Could do with a little more maintenance- bathroom ceiling paint was peeling, same for some roofs in other areas.

Beautiful historic building with lovely places to sit inside or outside or at the pool. The staff were exceptional and the breakfast was great.

A classy establishment, based on a lost elegance that escapes modern hotels. Pure class.

Welcoming staff and very good facilities. Exceptionally furnished in a chic and elegant style. Excellent Breakfast which was served either inside or out on the very nice terrace. Very close to the centre of town and very convenient. We very much liked the clear community support scheme which is in place..

We walked past the guest house so many times and finally decided to stay there for a few nights. And it exceeded our expectations. Nice interior, friendly staff, the two pool areas, walking distance to many great restaurants - what do you want more?!

I think the pools can use a creepy crawly for the sediment dirt on the floor. However, the water was clear and a user friendly pool.

I liked the room, breakfast options and the surroundings of the hotel. It's quite a beautiful space to be in and very comfortable. Staff is great and very professional.

Nothing - it was perfect!

The staff were absolutely incredible - so welcoming and accommodating in making sure we were settled and had everything we needed. They were just so friendly and made us feel so important. River Manor is absolutely beautiful. The hotel, the facilities are just world class - makes you feel like you really are on holiday and are being treated with the best quality. Beautiful rooms, amazing pool area where you can relax and just all round aesthetically pleasing hotel.

Since the buildings are all historically, there is really only one international outlet option on the desk in each room. No other outlet by the bed for your phone. So if you have several devices like we did, you have to take turns in charging them. There is also no mini fridge in any of the rooms and the WiFi in our room (#6) was very weak to none, unless you kept the door open and they had to provide an extender to make it work

You cannot beat the location of this boutique hotel. The hotel is a collection of several beautiful historical buildings. The property has two pools, so there is no overcrowding. The staff is super friendly and always helpful with whatever your needs or wishes may be. The hotel offerers a complimentary hight tea and had a 24 hr coffee bar. The breakfast was absolutely the BEST with a huge selection of cold European and hot English/ American choices. Plenty of fresh fruits, yogurts and pastries. They also offer a light lunch and dinner menu. But the hotel is an easy 5min walk to the center of Stellenbosch with all its amazing and affordable restaurants, ice cream parlors and chic cafes.

Our room was a little tired but fine for our needs

The staff were amazing as was breakfast. Lazing around the pool on the comfy sun beds was a delight.

The lock to our room was a bit fiddly. There was an unresolved problem with the safe. Unfortunately there was a breakdown in the A/C from midnight on a pretty hot night.

A charming old-style guesthouse. Comfortable seating areas . Two plunge pools. Perfect location. The staff are extraordinarily polite and helpful.

The description on Bookings.com needs refining, pool view, mountain view or not on bookings.com no view! The first room we were shown to was dark with the only window looking directly onto a tall fence but the staff were excellent and moved us to another room where at least we had a light street view. The addition of a small fridge in the rooms would be good. The sun loungers at one of the pools were rather disgusting the covers need a darn good clean.

All the staff were exceptional a pure delight The beds were comfortable. Breakfast service was efficient with a good selection though fresh juice would be a bonus rather than carton.

The hotel has the comfiest beds with lovely squishy pillows! There are 2 pools, each one getting the sun at different times of the day. It is located on a lovely quiet street, not far from the main town with all the restaurants/cafes/shops. Staff were so friendly and made us feel at home and there is a resident cat called Caroline!
