I cannot recommend highly enough. I stayed for 5 nights in September and would return tomorrow if i could. The hotel itself is lovely with a lovely garden, it looks out over the park, there is tea and cake available every afternoon and it feels so homely. The staff are faultless and could not be nicer or more helpful if they tried, it was such a pleasure to stay there and is only a few minutes walk from the centre but lovely and quiet.

The hotel room was beautiful bed was really comfortable. It was stylish and I could not fold it. It was a great breakfast and the staff at the front River very hospitable very friendly. It was just a short walk down to the city centre and an easy drive to get to the wineries and parking was no issue. Highly recommended to anyone going there.

Lovely hotel in a great location

Overall the hotel was excellent with 2 lovely clean pools. Our studio room was clean but small with a very small bathroom which needed upgrading. Excellent breakfast and very helpful staff. Good location with many restaurants nearby.

Lovely boutique hotel with an attentive staff which ensured your stay was memorable. Delicious breakfast, spacious rooms, great location as it is a few blocks walking to Dorp Street’s restaurants and shopping. Two pools with comfy loungers for chilling out post-vineyard visits. Across the street is easy access to hiking/biking trails.

Lovely 5* hotel in a quiet street in busy Stellenbosch. Room was modern, well appointed, with comfortable King bed and high quality linens. Breakfast is included (you can eat outside around the pool) but the service was really slow and not as polished or efficient as one expects from such a lovely property. On the plus side, a quick walk to good coffee shops, restaurants and the best gelato (Moro).

Our second time and we do like it a lot. The team are lovely and welcomed us back like old friends. Super convenient for strolling in to town. Lovely property, esp the garden and pools. Very peaceful. Only disappointment were AC not working properly, unit needs replacing. Had same issue last time. Mgmt need to invest in new ACs. And there’s no fridge in room which is a pain.

Beautiful setting

Wonderful stay at River Manor Boutique Hotel - the setting and service were fantastic. Location was fantastic - just a few mins walk into Stellenbosch. Communal spaces were beautiful and the breakfast was delicious, with a lot of options. Only suggestion would be to redecorate the bedrooms - the bathrooms feel a little tired.

Beautiful hotel and nice staff/service, however, for the price we paid, we were expecting more. When we were taken to the room for the first time, they showed us some battery powered lamps to use when the power goes out. This was our first time hearing this. Power went out EVERY NIGHT from 10:00pm-12:00am and then 6:00am-8:00am. In addition, there were a lot of flies all over the common areas but mostly over the food in the breakfast counters. I would recommend getting a backup generator and some type of fly catcher or control to make the hotel experience better.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Service was initially quite poor. Front desk thought we hadn't paid in advance, when we had, and they wouldn't allow my wife to check-in without paying again pending my arrival a few hours later. They also didnt have any sparling wine in the bar and I was tild the next delivery was in 2 days time. To be fair the did eventually go and buys some locally but after me suggesting it might be a good idea! I have stayed here quite a few time over the last 20 years and it is looking tired, poor maintenance of gradens and building. It all needs a little TLC!
