I have really enjoyed staying at “Riversong” for years, usually just for a few nights. I returned time and time again because it is welcoming, friendly, efficient and clean. This time I booked for the whole of February and my “home” was the “River Suite” overlooking the trees, lawn and swimming pool, - really an oasis! It is very conveniently located, and I like having garage parking. Nothing is too much trouble for Inri (Owner) and her Team…. (The Breakfasts are top class!) There is 24/7 Security, and as a Single Lady, I particularly appreciate having no safety concerns.

From the location to the comfort comfort and the staff, absolutely everything was fantastic. We truly enjoyed our stay. I must complement you on your staff. They were absolutely amazing. We will most definitely stay here again when in the Mother city.

The owner and staff are extremely and helpful. there are a number of steps up to the bedroom I was given which would not have been suitable if I had travelled with my partner. Access in out of the bath/shower in that particular room is quite a challenge. Fortunately, I am agile and able to cope with all of these hurdles but they did not know that when I booked. Breakfast offering average.

Staff were wonderfull. A place to be if looking for a hideaway facing the beautiful Table Mountain. Easy to get onto the highway to go to town or one of the beaches. Breaksfast was individual and of high quality.

Our family of four stayed here for three nights before heading to Stellenbosch for a few nights. The guest house is exactly as pictured. The staff were all very polite and helpful. Recommending restaurants and ensuring we were enjoying our stay. We didn’t experience any load shedding while we were there, but they also have solar power. The location was convenient to walk to restaurants, coffee shops, and even a laundromat. Though they can do your laundry at the guest house too. We took Ubers to go to Bo Kaap and the V&A and hired a driver to take us on a peninsula tour. Upon recommendation from Inri, we rented a car through Vineyard Car and used Escape to the Cape for our peninsula tour. Both were wonderful and we’d recommend. The breakfast included each morning was filling, fresh fruit to start, always very nicely plated. The first day we realized it was a lot of food, so we adjusted the next few days to request only items we would eat (just eggs, no sausage, no bacon, no tomato, etc). It was all good, but so much food! The property is very cute. The patio area is beautiful and there is a small dipping pool, but I’m not sure anyone uses it. There is a sitting room upstairs where we played cards and read. There is also a roof top deck you can go up and see the views from atop.
