Guest Reviews

Hamad (6/5): -
Ibrahim (8/5): -
Jana (10/5): -
Peter (9/5): Wunderschöne Gartenanlage - Schönes großes geräumiges Zimmer mit Garten. Sehr schöne am Fluss gelegene Anlage mit wunderschönen Garten. Sehr gutes Frühstück, das zum Zimmer gebracht wird. Die Anlage liegt schon etwas weit vom Ort entfernt.
Lee-Ann (7/5): Lovely farm with gorgeous animals and gardens! - I loved the location, the farm, animals, friendly staff, the decor, and the breakfast was nice too. I really didn’t like the over-powering perfume smell in the room - and I found the scent on the bedding also very strong. I think something lighter or more neutral would be better, especially seeing as it’s such a beautiful, natural environment with so many real smells outside.
Van Der Walt (10/5): -
Clinton (9/5): A wonderful farm cottage, great location and hospitality - Beautiful cottage that we were in, and very comfortable furniture. We loved the braai area, and the breakfast boxes each morning. It was great to walk in the veggie garden and pick produce, and the flowers were lovely too. Some great sunsets from the western side of the houses. I didn't realise that we hadn't booked a cottage with a Kol Kol so we were really disappointed to not have one of these. Quite a lot of mozzies - so maybe the farm could provide repellents or sprays? A little pricey - but it's a spoil. The breakfast box was lovely, but more variation would be appreciated for multiple days. I wish there was a pool for all guests.
Sarah (10/5): - Besonders die Nähe und Zugänglichkeit zu den Tieren hat unseren Kindern gut gefallen. Das Frühstück ist besonders liebevoll und hausgemacht, wir hatten auch ein gekochtes Abendessen, das sehr gut geschmeckt hat. Eine Empfehlung ist außerdem die Massage ;-)
Silvana (10/5): Toller Familienaufenthalt für Groß und Klein - Eine der schönsten Unterkünfte auf unserer Reise. Die Farm begeistert sowohl Kinder, als auch Eltern. Sehr liebevoll geführt, Mega-Essen, wundervolle Dekoration überall, viele viele Tiere für die Kinder, besonders schön am Wochenende, wenn die Farm für alle geöffnet ist, toll gelegen am Fluss und unbedingt mit dem Kanu fahren - der Ausblick vom Wasser ist noch einmal mega schön! Die Kinder durften sich sogar in der Töpferstube ausprobieren. Ein großes Dankeschön dafür an Sandra! /

Patrick (10/5): -
Frederik (9/5): Beautiful stay for families. - Beautiful scenery & garden. We had a fantastic stay at the stable cottage. The beds were very comfy and the kitchen very well equipped. Also the daily breakfast baskets were very nice. We loved as well the option to take one of the boats out on the river. A really nice option during the hot days. The kids loved as well to feed all the animals at the ground The rooms could have been equipped with mosquito nets, as there were quite a few in the evenings also getting into the rooms.
Daniel (10/5): - Absolutely everything was fantastic 100% recommended and can't wait to visit again
Mohit Talreja (10/5): Wonderful, relaxing family break. - Wonderful farm style living at the Rivergate. The staff so friendly and helpful. Fresh and delicious breakfast delivered to our doorstep every morning which had everything you could need for a feast. We were lucky to experience the Sunday market which is hosted only once in a few months and really enjoyed the hustle bustle on the day. It was wonderful to be surrounded by farm animals during our stay my daughter enjoyed interacting with the animals which included cows, goats, chickens, geese, donkey and even alpacas! The hot tub and fireplace in the cold weather was an amazing experience! I really cannot point out anything to complain.
Ebert (10/5): -
Catharine (10/5): - Wunderschöne Farm 20min Fahrt von Hermanus entfernt Das Cottage war sehr schön ausgestattet und das vorbestellte Picknick war köstlich. Leider schafften wir es nicht in den Shop, da dieser während unserem Aufenthalt bereits geschlossen war. Check Out Zeit um 10.00 Uhr ist früh
Sally (9/5): -
Liora (10/5): -
Prem (10/5): Will definitely recommend a stay - The king sized beds were super comfy and clean. Rooms were serviced daily. The breakfast basket was so well presented with everything that you needed for a hearty breakfast. We picked fresh vegetables from the garden. Enjoyed the interaction with the farm animals too. Everything was perfect. No complaint
Michael (9/5): -
Cecile (10/5): Superb accommodation in a fairytale setting, with farm to fork delicious meals. - Exquisite gardens, home style fare and beautifully comfortable accommodation
Lise (10/5): A Charming Farm Escape with Warm Hospitality - A truly wonderful farm stay. Rivergate Farm Stay offers a beautiful, peaceful farm setting with a charming farmhouse, incredibly comfortable bedding, and a fantastic braai area complemented by a wood-fired hot tub. The farm-fresh breakfast baskets were delicious and thoughtfully prepared, and the staff were warm, friendly, and genuinely hospitable. A perfect escape to relax and unwind.
Tania (10/5): Always such a treat visiting Rivergate - Beautiful setting with the most wonderful, staff and food. Nothing
Rudiger Frank (10/5): carpenter cottage - excellent!!! - loved the farm atmosphere, animals , plants , and setting. very well done!!! breakfast was exceptional! n.a.
Lisa (10/5): Perfektes Hideaway - Wunderschöne Farm, für uns eine absolute Traumunterkunft, der Frühstückskorb war fantastisch ☺️
Katherine (10/5): - Beautiful property and really comfortable rooms
Vicki (10/5): Highly recommend! - Everything was superb. From the staff, to the food, the animals, the riverboat cruise....I can't praise it enough. Wished the restaurant was open whilst we were there as we had heard it was excellent. Having said that, the ready made meals we delicious.
Anna (10/5): Peaceful and beautiful haven -
Steven (8/5): -
Peta (10/5): -
Nicole (10/5): Super wohl gefühlt und die Ruhe dort sehr genossen - Freundliches Personal, tolle Ausstattung, super leckeres Frühstück. Alles sehr gepflegt

Melissa (10/5): -
Valeska (9/5): Wonderful stay. It’s a great accommodation and farm. - The property and facilities were lovely. Everything was comfortable and spotlessly clean. We would definitely come back! The animals are also a real treat for the kids to enjoy. It felt misleading to put feed (for the animals) and sweets on the kids’ bed and then charge for it. Rather let people know they can purchase if they want to. I feel that if something is left on the bed, it is more associated with giving the patrons a gift upon arrival. That has a more homey and welcoming feel.
Rodney (7/5): -
Jeff (8/5): - This was probably one of the most beautiful places I've visited in the country. The view from the river is fabulous. All of the flowers and decor of the property is so tranquil and pretty. And the staff are incredible - taking our kids in the back of the truck to meet the chickens, helping me get the hot tub warm much faster, letting my toddler have an orange from the counter when she wanted one! The food baskets are plentiful and delicious. The kids LOVE feeding the animals. We had 2 units for our family of four, thinking we needed it to have a separate space for each kid to sleep. But one of the units had a little side room, so we actually had plenty of space. Since it was too late for a refund, we invited our friends to just crash in our second room for one of the nights. And later we got a bill with a significant extra charge because apparently you pay by the person, not the unit. We didn't require any additional food or cleaning or anything so this felt a little frustrating given all we'd paid already.
Marion (10/5): -
Maxim (9/5): - Perfect stay on the farm!
Pia (10/5): -
Alison (9/5): Tranquil and restorative. Gorgeous setting, wonderful accommodation and delicious food. Will be back - Breakfast -lovely fresh eggs and continental breakfast-baked bread/muffins daily, ham,tomatoes. Kolkol hot tub was a treat in the cold weather. Fresh braai pack and pasta dinner pack -staff accommodating at last minute Beautiful setting, kids loved the farm animals Wi-fi was very challenging as I had to do some work online; connectivity was slow Braai basket very expensive - paid for double of what we expected we were ordering (delicious, but quantity just too much for 2 adult and 2kids)
Monique (10/5): Elegant self catering with beautiful French charm - Generosity of amenities. Also nothing was too much for the staff. They were extremely helpful, accommodating and generous. A beautiful property that is for the high end traveller that is looking for self catering with the ability to order their restaurant food for lunch and dinner. Breakfast basket was fresh and very generous. We will definitely return to this beautiful property Nothing
Juanita (8/5): Very good - Openess & gardens and hot tub Noise from main road as we are spoiled with quietness on our farm
Wilco (10/5): We had a wonderful stay on this peaceful little farm, loved the animals, and the surprise Sunday market made it even bet -
Piers (9/5): Superb -
Nasif (10/5): Our family had an exceptional stay at River Gate Farm! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and immediat - Everything ! Nothing !
Meena (9/5): Will love to spend more time there. - Beautiful setting and away from crowds Stay was too short to comment
Oliver (10/5): Exceptional - This was the best place on our tour. Beautiful nature, the river, the animals, a cottage with fireplaces and hot tub, which we used in the evening. You will get lovely and great food in the barn and for breakfast. Don’t forget to order the barbecue basket. Nothing , nothing to complain
Julian (10/5): Spoiled for life. Outstanding. - Outstandingly good. Food, the garden, the accommodation itself. Perhaps the best we ever stayed.
Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
Pam (9/5): We loved Woodrose Cottage with its own deck, braii & hot tub - Unique. Extremely helpful staff and loved the breakfast and braii baskets No swimming pool
Sven (10/5): Comfort and good taste - Breakfast was delivered to the cottage - it was delicious and fresh It was quite expensive - but overall good value for money
Liesl (9/5): Superb - The breakfast baskets were a beautiful fresh treat. And every morning, we were spoiled with something different. The wood-fired pool was a real hit (with our teenage son). And we enjoyed rowing - the river is just a short walk away.
Grant (10/5): Too good not to share. - Rivergate guest farm without doubt exceeded our expectations and I almost don't want to share how good it was and keep it a secret but that wouldn't be fair. The staff were very friendly and they made our stay very welcoming.We stayed in the Gardeners Cottage which sleeps 4 people and its a very spacious cottage and boasts a big outdoor area and even has a hot tub which we used a couple of times even though it was summer. We also made use of the braai facilities a couple of the nights we were there and not to mention the breakfast basket each morning that was full of fresh ingredients and we loved how everything was packaged with the care of the environment in mind. We stayed 3 nights but next time we will be staying longer to spend more time on the farm with the animals and explore more of the farm. If I could give it higher than 10/10 I would. There wasn't anything we didn't like.
Hilton (9/5): Great stay in Stanford. - Beautiful Place with great cottages and lovely breakfast baskets. Beds super comfy and amazing gardens. Mini Donkeys are so cute! Peacocks with their babies cruising around are very entertaining. Notthing really.
Marli (10/5): Amazing farm wxperience - Animals and beauriful gardens
Rolf (7/5): Good - Peaceful, gardens, and environment Outside of the unit was not maintained and cleaned during our stay.
Andreas (10/5): Incredible farm - must try the butternut lasagna - Animals! A lot of nice seating options, also the food Due to the peacocks we had a lot of poo on the cushions and our room seemed to be a little dusty
Mario (9/5): Fantastic location, peace and tranquility. - Location was excellent, chalet was big and spacious. The breakfast was out of this world with so many options and lots of food. Staff super friendly and helpful. Lots of animals. Great garden and hot tub. Only issue was we had some noise in the roof with birds or animals but we reported it.
Sasha (9/5): Idealic getaway - The location is a few minutes from Standford The farm is absolutely gorgeous - flowers everywhere, cutest animals , very well laid out The rooms are comfy The food is delicious - recommend the spaghetti bolognese and garden salad as a no fuss meal. Breakfast box great Owner run- so everything is Perfect, and everyone goes the extra mile to help make your stay extra special Kayak and SUP boards were so fun Able to go for a walk in their farm over the road .Cute farm shop with beautiful art of the animals on the farm- a special shop. Peacocks everywhere! Did I mention the cute animals 😬 Nothing - it was great!
Liora (10/5): Rivergate Guest Farm - one word - MAGICAL - Wow! Just wow! We were blown away by the beauty of this magical farm. The service, the staff, the lush gardens, beautifully decorated rooms and animals is beyond amazing! Everything about it is just exceptional. The breakfast baskets were such a treat, all freshly made and prepared daily and delivered to your room. We cannot wait to visit again, it’s heaven on earth for sure! One of the best stays in the Overberg region - highly recommend booking! Nothing! Everything was PERFECT :)
Wendy (10/5): Beautifully appointed guestfarm within easy access of Hermanus & Stanford. - The attention to detail was unbelievable. We loved the canoes and standup paddle boards available to use on the river. Spacious interior and lovely lawns in front of our unit (Stable). The Boulles game left out for us to play was so thoughtful. The owners were always available for a chat or to assist with anything we needed. Beautifully appointed interior with many classy finishes. We loved the breakfast basket that was delivered every morning. Highly recommended! What's not to like!?

Henry (10/5): Exceptional - Extremely beautiful farm. Both the children and us really loved the place. It feels like a really special place!!
Sloan (10/5): Going back soon !!! - The buildings were nicely furnished and very practical the gardens were exceptional. Its nice to have farm animals in the surrounds. The team were welcoming and very friendly The location was easy to find Food ie breakfast was more than adequate and very tasty The nesting starlings that woke up at 5.00 am but were subsequtly removed. its a farm so i do understand the fridge sounded like a washing machine with a belt in it . easlly solved
Melanie (9/5): Superb -
Faldielah (8/5): Nice setting but noisy. - I liked the setting of the cottage overlooking a lovely garden. We stayed in Carpenters cottage. The walls were very thin and we could hear everything our fellow guests were saying! Getting to sleep took forever! Lights were needed over the kitchen area.
Irma (10/5): Tranquil retreat in Stanford. - Amazing working farm set up. Tranquil beauty.
Sonya (10/5): Excellent Location & Friendly Staff - We loved the pre packed breakfast in the morining. The fact that you can also order lunch/dinner was amazing.

Lynn (10/5): Exceptional -
Sally (10/5): A relaxing escape - Beautiful, in Nature, peaceful, lovely people and wonderful food
Ross (10/5): Too short, we'll stay longer next time! - Breakfast was delicious, as was the the evening meal, the salad was stunning! Having the menagerie of animals was a lot of fun. The kitchen garden was fascinating as well as beautifully kept. For such a large farm, more walking paths would have been a bonus.
Ian (10/5): Most relaxing 3 nights Felt rejuvenated. Loved the peacocks mini donkeys and other animals - Warmth of the fire places electric blankets lovely lined stunning breakfasts happy obliging staff Only complaint was the lighting in the bedrooms was too dim for reading
Stevens (8/5): Very good -
Suzanne (10/5): Fantastic farm stay. - Beautiful well equipped comfortable cottage. Loved the breakfast basket that you can enjoy in your own cottage and time. Friendly staff and owners.
Malcolm (9/5): Staff were super friendly and helpful, complimented by outstanding food and a most luxurous room! - Breakfast baskets were top notch and staff super friendly
Tish (8/5): Beautiful stay and hope to be back in Summer - Absolutely beautiful, serene farm with stunning views. The cottage was immaculate with everything you could possibly need . Breakfast was lovely and everything freshly made Would have been nice if the outside hot tub and braai area of the cottage had a bit of covering/shading. We unfortunately had terrible weather when we went and could not make use of any of the outside facilities as it was uncovered. So I would not really reccommend this for a Winter getaway which is a pity, as the cottage with the indoor fireplace is very cosy.
Bryce (10/5): Excellent all round experience - Breakfast was exceptional, fresh farm fare eggs etc. In fact, the supper food baskets too were excellent and very reasonably priced. I definitely recommend Rivergate Farm. Could have had some sort of hiking trail
Heinrich (10/5): Exceptional -
Jenkins (10/5): Exceptional -
Lyndall (9/5): This was one of the most relaxing holidays ever! - Everything. Loved the hot tub, loved the morning breakfast basket that gets dropped at the cottage. It’s full and contains everything you need to make a good breakfast. The bathrooms are clean and neat. Bedrooms are clean and neat. The braai and indoor fire place is everything 🥰 also the river was nice- we went kayaking in the river There’s nothing we didn’t like. We liked everything
Lizelle (10/5): Will definitely be back - Rooms are beautiful. The breakfast was amazing and the baskets for supper absolutely worth it!
Paula (10/5): Exceptional - We loved our experience at Rivergate farm! Breakfast basket was delicious and special!
Kathryn (10/5): Rivergate Guest Farm is a definite must visit. - The breakfast baskets are amazing !! We had the braai basket & pasta basket on the 2 nights we stayed. Highly recommend trying them , more than enough food. The Smore snack for after your braai !!! Everything was PERFECT !!!
Michael (10/5): We had the grandchildren for the weekend - it was a winning experience for us all. - Mitchell came to our unit and offered to take us with our grandchildren to see the farm in the back of his bakkie. The boys walked with the chickens, picked out eggs, checked the vege garden, drove a tractor and were generally spoilt - Mitchell was their hero. We walked with the Al Paco's, the geese and even visited the goat house, We had sundowners on the deck, made a beautiful hot tub and experienced their amazing "Eathouse" meals. The Breakfast basket was exceptional. We truly loved everything. Maybe we could have had plastic cups etc for young children to use.
Louise (10/5): A memorable weekend! - The breakfast was delicious and it was great that it was varied for the two mornings we stayed there. The burger basket was also good. We loved the gardens and the beautiful restaurant. The children, and my husband, was amused by the alpacas! It was also great that we could ask for the hot tub fire to be lit while we were still in Hermanus, to have it nice and warm when we came back. We stayed in the Gate house. A light above the stove will be nice.
Izak (9/5): Really enjoyed our stay - Breakfast was fabulous None
Kyle (10/5): Exceptional -
Marjolein (10/5): Great young farm, nicely decorated, amazing view, charming breakfast and everything with care. - Super nice young farm, with lovely decorated cottages with wood-fired KolKol hottubs. We loved the breakfast, it's all so nice and charming at this farm. We could use the SUP and canoes at the water, but the wind was a bit too strong when we were there. But great vibes, amazing view, good location to explore Stanford / Hermanus area :-) Nothing!!
