Our experience at Riversong was absolutely fantastic. We stayed nearly a full week. Roy and the rest of the staff were very welcoming, accommodating, and helpful to us in finding safe, interesting, and memorable experiences in the Cape Town area. I highly recommend Riversong as one of the best bed and breakfast in the Cape Town area!

Unbelievably wonderful! Charming, personable and service driven small guesthouse tucked away in the Newlands. Tremendous staff, great breakfast and lovely accommodations - one of the best guesthouses we stayed during our 3 week trip through SA. Wish I could give them a 10 star rating!

Truely the best experience. Friendly staff, amazing breakfast! The rooms are so spacious, with all you need. I would visit again. Oh and the view of the mountain is just so beautiful. The location is also great, and easy to get to other parts of Cape Town.

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

The Riversong Guest House was welcoming and homely. I felt safe being there. Ohh, and the breakfast was delicious. Thanks to the Chef. The Manager went out of his way & used his own car to transport me to the Hotel where my meeting was on a rainy morning. This was very kind of him. I look forward to staying there soon, not only by myself but also with my family.

A very comfortable guest house where you feel at home and relaxed in the space. Great friendly and helpful staff. The room was spacious with everything I needed. Very comfortable bed.

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.
