Shirley
I absolutely loved the cozy and inviting atmosphere of the guesthouse. The interior decoration was charming, with beautiful furniture and warm colors that made me feel right at home. The common areas were well-maintained and easily accessible for senior people like myself. It was easy to navigate around the guesthouse and I could relax and enjoy the lovely surroundings.
I would have appreciated the children working there to provide more assistance specifically tailored for senior guests.

University of cape town can be quickly reached, it’ s just 1 mile away. The room as such was amazing and met what we needed.

The staff were outstanding, very helpful and friendly. The room was small but well appointed. The location is very good for the Newlands cricket/rugby. Highly recommended.

I recently stayed at Riversong Lodge for a short visit and had a wonderful experience. The owner, Inri, along with the staff, Aaron and Charmaine, were extremely welcoming and helpful. They provided excellent service, including printing documents and giving great advice on local attractions. The rooms were spotless and quiet, and the breakfasts were delicious and creatively prepared. The location of the hotel is perfect, with shops, restaurants, and coffee shops all within walking distance. I especially loved the thoughtful touch of having delicious cookies in the room and a water dispenser at the entrance where I could fill up my glass bottle.
Totally recommend this hotel.

My friends and I had such an amazing time in Cape Town, thanks to our stay at Riversong. The location is super convenient, with awesome places like the V&A Waterfront and Table Mountain just a short drive away. The staff at Riversong were so cool and friendly, always there to help us and give recommendations on the best nightlife spots. The rooms were cozy and had everything we needed, plus the breakfast was top-notch. We felt like true adventurers exploring Cape Town from our awesome base at Riversong!
If I had to ask for one thing, it would be more vibrant party vibes. Don't get me wrong, we still had a blast, but it would've been even more fun if the hotel had some cool events or parties specifically for young party-goers like us.

The decoration of the guest house is delightful, with beautiful furniture and lovely artwork. The common areas are spacious and cozy, perfect for relaxation. As a senior woman, I appreciated the hotel's accessibility, with ramps and handrails in place to assist with mobility. It made my stay comfortable and convenient.
I would have liked the children working there to provide a bit more assistance with luggage.

Spent Xmas at this wonderful guest house and it was an incredible experience. The breakfast menu offered a variety of choices, making our mornings even better. The location was perfect, as we were able to walk to shops and restaurants. The pool was an added bonus and we enjoyed relaxing in the lovely yard.
Honestly, there wasn't anything to dislike about our stay. The staff was attentive and the accommodations were fantastic. If we had to nitpick, we wished we had stayed longer to enjoy more of what the area had to offer. it was a perfect Xmas holiday.

Our stay at Riversong Guest House was absolutely incredible. We were blown away by the beautiful views of Table Mountain from the excellent location near Kirstenbosch. The staff went above and beyond, even sorting our washing promptly. The breakfasts were superb and the rooms were amazing, with a special mention to the separate room provided for our teenage son. The owner, Inri, was friendly and informative, making our stay even more enjoyable. We were impressed with the attention to detail, including briefing us on loadshedding and providing torches. a fantastic experience with nothing to fault.
Can't fault anything about it! 😊

We enjoyed our stay in this hotel which had excellent facilities. The breakfast was superb, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The location was convenient as it was in a quiet street, yet near to restaurants and shops. We were also able to easily access highways and transportation to explore the area. In addition, we appreciated being close to Kirstenboch garden and surrounded by green plants.
All was good.

Our family had an incredible time exploring everything Cape Town has to offer, and Riversong Guest House was the perfect base for our adventures. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and the spacious and comfortable rooms provided a great place for relaxation after a long day of sightseeing. The location was excellent, with easy access to highways, fantastic restaurants, and shops. And the view of the Table Mountain range was absolutely breathtaking. As a family with five children under 10, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.
For dads, it would be great to have a dedicated play area for children.
