We had a wonderful two-night stay at the River Manor Hotel. It was one of our favorite hotels on our road trip. The entire property is inviting, cozy, and beautiful. We sat in one of the living rooms in front of the fireplace with the hotel cat, whom we absolutely loved. All the staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. We felt completely at ease in the hotel and in Stellenbosch. The cozy city center was just around the corner. We would definitely come back. Thank you!

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!

River Manor Boutique Hotel is an exquisite experience. The staff is absolutely wonderful, and the accommodations are second to none. It is an easy walk to downtown, and I would highly encourage you to book a wine tour through the hotel. We had the absolute best time with Ishmael.

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.

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.

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!
