Riversong was immaculately clean. The breakfasts were phenomenal. There were very pleasant sitting areas that we wished we had had more time to enjoy. The view upstairs was amazing. Although the hotel had cautions, we walked after dark to nearby restaurants without issue. It was very conveniently located near to Kirstenbosch Gardens

Beautiful property, situated in a very quiet street. Staff were very attentive and flexible as they facilitated two changes of plans to my schedule. Good value and tasty breakfast included. Would definitely stay again.

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.
