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.

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!

Loved staying at River Manor! Both comfortable and charming, this was the perfect place to enjoy Stellenbosch. The room was huge and had a gorgeous balcony, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Excellent value, I’ll stay here again on my next visit.

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.
