We travelled to the Cape for a waterpolo tour at SACS and stayed at the beautiful Riversong guest house. Which was very homely and top standard comfortable accommodation. The staff and management were very friendly and we intend to make this an annual event and also advise other parents to stay here

This was our second stay at Riversong-three years later. Many of the same staff were there-which is an excellent reflection on the ownership. In addition, a new-to-us manager has been added who has solid hospitality skills and is very informative as well as welcoming. They will make excellent bookings and arrangements to make your Cape Town trip memorable. Breakfast is outstanding. You can reserve a private time in the roof top hot tub. The guest house is convenient for touring all of Cape Town and it is especially close to Kirstenbosch gardens.

My wife and I had an amazing few days at Riversong Guest House! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Our lovely room was stocked with everything we needed and was just what we needed. The rooftop hot tub was a real treat, perfect for unwinding and with a magnificent view of the mountain. Whether you’re a couple seeking a quiet retreat or visiting with family or friends, Riversong is a wonderful choice. We can’t wait to come back!

We booked riversong for 1 night over a weekend for us and friends. The staff was great and available. We decided to eat in and spend time around the pool and back garden with a beautiful view of the mountain. We will definitely stay at Riversong again.
