River Manor Boutique Hotel

Amazing team and beautiful hotel! |The staff was amazing and I felt so welcome all the time, really enjoyed every second! The house is well maintained and the beds were very comfortable. I personally love their initiative to save water in the Cape by having buckets to save extra water in the shower. The Spa experience was excellent as well. Perfect after a long flight!

We had a brilliant two night stay in late June 2025. The quality of the hotel is clear from when you arrive. A delightful heritage property set over two adjoining buildings, it has just the right mix of old world charm and the facilities you would expect in a modern hotel. The staff could not have been more attentive or forward thinking.|As a "serial" hotel user key to the stay is the bed - the Manor Hotel gets it absolutely right, a perfect combination of mattress and bed linen. |Lastly, and most importantly, there is Caroline the resident cat who adds an additional charm to the property - thank you Caroline!

River Manor was the last place we stayed before heading home from our African adventure. Besides being a lovely and comfortable place to stay, what sets it apart is the staff - all of whom are incredibly helpful and kind. By the time we left, it felt like another home for us. Several staff members stood at the door to wave goodbye to us as we started our long journey home. It is a memory that I will hold dear and was a beautiful and fitting way to end our wonderful vacation.

The pillows are the fluffiest I've ever experienced. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The ambience feels warm and homely. The variety of breakfast options was very satisfying. The environment is clean and well-maintained. This was my second visit to River Manor, and I will definitely be back!

Thank you River Manor for unparalleled hospitality - from the seamless check-in to warm, inviting rooms, afternoon drinks and hearty meals. We left feeling rested and rejuvenated. Thank you for going the extra mile in making this team breakaway a happy experience. Well done to Tapiwa, Chims and team for your kindness, hard work and attention to detail.

I cannot recommend the River Manor hotel more. It is 5/5 on every account. Located near Stellenbosch centre, it’s a convenient walking distances to several restaurants and shops. It is about a 20 minute car ride to the wineries. The hotel itself is gorgeous. Lovely decor, pristinely clean. The staff could not be more friendly and welcoming. The included breakfast is lovely. I would stay here again in an instant and would encourage anyone visiting the area to do the same.

Beautiful boutique hotel in a quiet neighborhood of Stellenbosch just minutes from restaurants and shops. The gardens and pool areas were lovely, there are multiple sitting rooms and public spaces inside and out to sit and relax. The room was gorgeous with a comfortable bed and plenty of pillows. The breakfast was generous and absolutely delicious. The staff were all friendly, warm and helpful.

The hotel is beautiful I’ve given it 5 stars as the issue with the size of our room is purely down to us. ||Our fault for not reading room descriptions when booking we booked a studio room but should have read description thoroughly . Room was very compact with sliding door to very small shower room. Only one hook in the bathroom none in the bedroom. Little room to store our suitcases. Toiletries smell divine . Not keen on the water saving bucket in the shower .|Switch for bathroom light was by the room entrance which is not ideal if you need to go in the night but when I spoke to reception we were given a chargeable light to use at night.||Food excellent and staff were outstanding .||Room facilities were good including lovely gowns , nice quality towels turn down service a nice touch ||Breakfast very good and ambiance of the hotel lovely.||Pool area lovely and relaxing ||Would we return yes but would make sure we booked a much better room. Having said that the rate we paid for the studio room was a very fair price especially as it included breakfast.
