Things started off badly when our room was not ready when we arrived. We were asked to wait in a lovely library and were brought hot beverages. We were never shown a menu or asked for payment but these items showed up, in all their overpriced glory, on our bill. The room prices were significantly higher than those quoted by... more

Stellenbosch is beautiful and the location of River Manor is good (a short walk into town) but there is probably better accomodation available. It consists of two neighbouring colonial houses but has limited parking. The staff were fine and the owners were highly visible if somewhat aloof at times. We stayed two nights and on both mornings our breakfast order... more

We booked to stay 6 nights in the River Manor, a confirmed reservation. When we arrived they could only accomodate us for 2 nights and we were transferred to a local b&b. The reception and dining room staff were rude, incompetent and surly. A dreadful place. more

We stayed here for 2 nights in February and had a wonderful time. River Manor is perfectly located for a 5 minute walk into the centre of Stellenbosch with a good number of fantastic restaurants and bars. Being able to walk back and forth at night was a nice change from Cape Town and Camps Bay. Our room was small... more

We stayed at River Manor for 2 nights, it has a good location but we found it poorly managed. The staff on reception were friendly but knew very little about the town beyond trying to book you on wineland tours or to their recommended restaurants. Our room was ok but we were disturbed by small animals scratching in the ceiling... more

Stayed at River Manor for 2 nights. They have no restaurant so the hotel is nicely positioned, 10 mins walk into the centre of Stellenbosch where there are plenty of choices to eat. Our room was nice although quite small. There was a lot of furniture in quite a small room which made it appear even smaller. The bed was... more

I spent about 5 nights at River Manor in January 2008. During my 4 weeks travelling in the Cape Town, Wineland, Hermanus area, the River Manor was one of the best accomodations I experienced. I would definitely stay there again when visiting Stellenbosch the next time. The location is very central. But since it is just a bit outside of... more

A decent place to stay, our room was small but the adjacent verandah lounge was wonderful. Great breakfast served ouside, a real treat. Adequate pools very welcome after a day out. Easy short walk into town a major advantage. Spa not tried but looke pretty good. more

We Stayed at River Manor last March and have to say we stayed at much better places. The room was large and decor to a good standard however I nearly broke my toe due to the poor layout of the shower cubicle in the bathroom, but sevice by the hotel was not great when I mentioned the poor visability of... more

A two night stay in Stellenbosch was just what we needed after five nights on safari - civilisation at last!!!! We chose River Manor specifically because of it's location - a safe walk into town at night for drinks / dinner and only 25 minutes from Cape Town International Airport. We stayed in a superior room which was really quite... more
