Probably one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in. The location, the staff, the rooms are simply perfect. Breakfast was outstanding and nothing too much trouble for the staff. It was a treat. Stellenbosch is a must visit, so pretty and welcoming.

“Fantastic Stay”

Apr 17, 2026Joni S

We had a fantastic stay at River Manor Boutique Hotel & Spa. The booking process was easy, seamless, and quick from start to finish. On arrival, we were checked in by some of the friendliest staff and given a lovely introduction to the beautiful grounds. Our room was spotless, tastefully decorated, and felt spacious with its high ceilings and large shower. The breakfast included in the rate was exceptional, easily better than many breakfasts you’ll find around town. The location is perfect, with safe parking and within walking distance of some of the best restaurants and cafés in Stellenbosch. We also really appreciated the extra touch of being allowed to relax by the pool after check-out until it was time to head off for our Uber to the airport. Highly recommend for a comfortable and memorable stay.
