The hotel had everything I could imagine I might need from umbrellas to wine in the room. Very thoughtful details. Charles and the rest of the team were very welcoming. There is a nice living room space on the second floor which looks out at table mountain, the backyard, and the pool. I particularly liked working from there.

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.

We recently stayed at Riversong for a week and could not recommend it more to anyone visiting Cape Town! We stayed with our 2year old son and the staff were so warm and welcoming and made us all feel so welcome. Charmaine in particular was so wonderful and my little boy absolutely loved her. The location is brilliant with lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. Newlands Pool is also a 2min walk away and is fantastic. Can't recommend this place more!!!
