Guest Reviews
- frederick (9/5): Great stay in an excellent location which is quiet and convenient. - The breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit included. Service was very good and prompt. The shower arrangement over the bath could be awkward for older guests.
- Sharon (8/5): We had a perfect stay. - The room was very comfortable and clean. Everything we needed was available. The staff were very accommodating. The location for walking to the start of the Two Oceans marathon was perfect. The outdoor area is lovely. We liked everything.
- Rohlfs (10/5): -
- Busi (9/5): Great views and value - Great location; spacious room. Lovely breakfast. Nothing.
- Sarah (10/5): Pleasant, comfortable and well-situated - The staff are exceptional and are a real asset to the house. The bed and pillows were super comfy.
- Wayne (8/5): -
- Siphilisiwe (10/5): -
- Lynette (7/5): Very central and convenient for our needs however, we noticed that the property needs an upgrade. - Views were wonderful. Sounds of the ducks and birds a reminder that one is in Africa. Some general upgrading and maintenance is needed, particularly outside. The pool needs to be reconditioned.
- Gontse (10/5): - ✔️ Nothing
- Ross (10/5): Very good - Very nice, attention to details. Beautiful location. Recommend One room doesn’t have a shower, only a bath. Quite high step to get in. Could be a problem for some
- shaun (9/5): -
- Martin (10/5): -
- Denise (10/5): So pleased to have chosen this wonderful guest house - Our room was wonderful, extremely spacious, clean & comfortable. The staff were attentive, polite & most helpful going beyond our expectations. The location was perfect for our requirements, breakfast was exceptional-the omelette is exceptionally tasty & very filling! Nothing to dislike at all.
- Pumla (10/5): -
- danielle (10/5): -
- Richard (10/5): -
- ELAINE (10/5): Excellent - We were made to feel at home and very special from the moment we walked through the door. Nothing was too much trouble
- Michael (10/5): Riversong Guest House, a jewel in Newlands’ Crown - It’s cleanliness, it’s relaxed atmosphere, the lovely room, the gorgeous breakfasts, the good quality bed linen on the extra large bed, the towels and toiletries and, above all, the absolutely wonderful staff who’s just could not do enough to make our stay superb. A huge thank you to to each and everoone of them Leaving
- Anastasia (8/5): Great value for money, a bit tired but super located guesthouse with top staff - The location for those who love to be in green and quite residential area is great, the supermarkets and restaurants are around the corner though. Very good! The building is somewhere from 90s not really renovated, clean but somewhat tired. We love high ceilings and views, the terrace for breakfast. The pool did not look clean enough to swim, there was a small problem with the pump. The house is nicely decorated but need a refresh. No proper aircon, hot in the room in summer (overnight). Still good quality for Africa and the price is very adequate (good value for money). Great staff! Really helpful and sweet. Great breakfast (5 Stars!). Great hottub on the roof (included). Highly recommended overall.
- Steve (8/5): - A very classy place w. an excellent breakfast. Rooms were a little old-fashioned but spacious. I had to walk a long flight of stairs to get to my room. I was first shown to a nicer room on the ground floor and then immediately switched for some unknown reason. Like several places I stayed at in S. Africa there was no decent reading lamp near the bed. But, all in all, a nice place.
- Caryn (8/5): Incredibly friendly and very comfortable guest house in quiet area. - Incredibly friendly staff who made us so welcome. Really good breakfast. Large comfortable bed. Filtered water provided free of charge. A little bit dated but very clean and comfortable.
- Maria (9/5): - Fridfullt, välstädat, vällagad god frukost utefter personligt önskemål. Fantastisk och vänlig personal. Allt man kan behöva fanns på rummet. Tillgång till luftigt o fint gemensamhetsutrymme. Möjligen något långt ifrån centrum, men med taxi gick det snabbt o smidigt att ta sig fram.
- Hossein (10/5): - Staffs were very kind and polite
- Camilla (9/5): Excellent guest house - We had fantastic customer service from the team even before we arrived. While we were staying at Riversong, we were given so much helpful and kind advice....where to go, how to organise our visit..... how to manage daily life in the city,..... our first stay in Cape Town was hugely enhanced by the personal touch we encountered at this guest house. Very clean, fantastic breakfast, super comfortable beds, incredibly friendly, kind staff. The location was great for a first stay for our family... not in the centre of the city, close to all useful amenities and restaurants, easy routes to all the activities and outings we planned. It is hard to think of anything at all we did not like.
- Dente (10/5): Personal touches, friendly and caring team, great location, quiet, and comfortable beds. - Very friendly and responsive team. Fantastic breakfast with personal touches. Comfortable beds and individual rooms, designed with the history and life of the property in mind. Safe and easy to access.
- Kerrin (9/5): We were very happy with our stay. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Well done. - The breakfasts were amazing. Aaron's omelette was very nice, and Roy's Eggs Benedict were absolutely fantastic and was sampled numerous times. Charles and Gift were very helpful during entire stay, and our room was well stocked and maintained. The entire residence was very safe and the view of the mountain from the lounge and jacuzzi deck was great. The shower temperature controller setting was difficult to keep the water at the preferred temp and the bath exit should have some anti-slip on the top step. There are hand rails which were an excellent help though.
- Alexandre (10/5): Exceptional - The staff is great and very friendly! It is located at 3 minutes walk from the start of the Two oceans Marathon, so it was great for me. The room was big and confortable. It is not so close of the other touristic points in capetown.
- Dover (10/5): Exceptional -
- Victoria (9/5): Superb -
- Hayley (10/5): Warm South African hospitality at its best. - Perfect location, helpful, friendly staff. Thought of every detail 👌🏼
- Sandy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Heather (10/5): Great choice - The breakfasts are outstanding and the staff are top notch. Very comfortable room. Good location and easy access to main CT attractions. Can’t find fault with anything.
- Thelma (4/5): Disappointing for price in comparison to others we have stayed at in the area - Location was good for the event we were attending The room (double garden room) was advertised as recently refurbished which was not the reality. The room was equipped with noisy standalone fans and air conditioners making sleeping with them on impossible. The bed was hard as a rock and the mattress was very stained. The main curtains didn’t even fit the window when they were closed. Overall the room was very tired and silly things made the experience frustrating as a room for 2 had one robe, one flannel and a bottle of water by each side of the bed (nice touch) but only a glass on one side. Also the room description did not match the reality of the facilities in the room. We were looking forward to using the pool but it was very murky and did not look at all clean.
- Deirdre (8/5): Very good -
- Patience (8/5): - I highly recommend it. The property is clean, safe and quiet. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The rooms are clean and adequately stocked. The breakfast is to die for! Very delicious, nutritious, and in large portions that last you all day.
- Andrew (10/5): - 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.
- Dr (10/5): Riversong Outstanding Home from home accommodation. - The staff were exceptional and went out of their way to make our stay a delightful one. We were welvomed by Charles late evening when we arrived who went to great lengths to explain all the amenities. The breakfasts were delicious and Roy and the rest of the staff went to great lengths to cater for our dietary requirements. Roy obtained delicious halaal sausages and designed a different breakfast daily. The perssonalized service was par excellance. Charmaine,Gift and Allen who are also part of the team also provided outstanding service. I have no complaints.
- Pia (10/5): Awesome place - People is really nice, breakfast was great and the room is large and comfy Nothing. Perfect place to stay
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (8/5): Very good - Breakfast was very good. All staff were extremely helpful and a pleasure to deal with, in particular manager of property.
- Morrison (8/5): Room good, service excellent, breakfast according to order. - The room was large and comfortable except that there is a sliding door between the room and the adjacent lounge. The only real problem is the Egyptian Geese started to make a noise long before sunrise.
- Annie (7/5): Lovely little place. Warm amd comfy. I think a bit overpriced - Lovely area. Nice view of mountain.
- Stef (9/5): We will definitely come back and stay. Also, newlands is very central to everything. - It is secluded and quiet! Seems safe outside - we left our car out in the street. It had all the amenities one would expect and need from a Guest House. It was very very clean! The staff in general were very courteous and helpful. They made you feel right at home. The bed was very firm and comfortable! Although we were promised a parking garage, it was too small. We would have liked to see a bigger selection of teas. There are too many locks and keys to negotiate (the owners should invest in multiple locks that take the same key). The outside overhead light to our garden room was not working. We pointed this out to the night manager but it was not repaired. The main lobby of the property was used as a a type of conference venue and it was a little awkward interrupting the attendees to ✗ through them to exit the house.
- Orlina (10/5): A beautiful home to explore Cape Town - would come back anytime - The Riversong Guest House just feels like a home rather than an accommodation. From arrival to leaving everyone made sure I had everything I needed. The room is very spacious and the garden just beautiful. There was not one thing I did not like It was perfect
- Chelsea (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ros (10/5): A lovely venue with brilliant staff. - The staff are amazing and can't do enough for you. Breakfast was lovely and always made to order. Very convenient location and garage for the car was a plus! Mosquitoes were a little annoying - but to be expected due to the river in the garden.

- Cathy (10/5): Rooms with a view - Brilliant service by the staff and owner Inri. Very friendly and interactive. Nothing is too much trouble. Rooms spacious and clean. Clean towels daily. Liked everything this guest house had to offer. Had everything one needs. A home away from home. Bath in Leopard room needs a little tlc, ie re-enameling, but does not detract from this wonderful guest house.
- Victoria (8/5): Highly recommend - The staff are excellent. Super helpful and very attentive. Breakfast is amazing. The Garden room is really comfortable. Protea room far too hot. Needs better air con!
- Hans-dieter (8/5): Very good - Guesthouse in a silent city district in neighbourhood of an excellent shopping mall, to the famous Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden, and the Table Mountains Newlands Forest.
- Susan (9/5): Very comfortable and relaxing. - The staff were very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was clean and well appointed. The breakfast was very good. Although we managed to get a garage, they are small and can only accommodate a few cars.
- Anne (10/5): Thoughtful details and bucolic neighborhood - 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.
- Stephen (9/5): Superb - Very comfortable stay,the staff were all very friendly and most helpful with any requests,they made my stay memorable they went out of their to make sure I was safe and comfortable...many thanks Food was excellent,service was also excellent. The only negative was the strength and coverage of the wifi signal...it was at best intermittent. These days it needs to be unquestionably good.
- Etienne (10/5): Exceptional - Locality to everything is perfect. 15min to cticc, 25 min to airport and lots of great coffeeshops, pubs, shops within safe walking distance. Two Egyptian geese having an early morning argument !
- Andrea (6/5): Great location, great staff . Unfortunately uncomfortable beds. Mattress needs to be changed . - Breakfast's were amazing. The staff was great and the location was great, easy access to all major highway and roads, Absolutely love Newlands. The beds were very uncomfortable. Very hard mattress and the room was very hot. Needs a decent aircon installed ,. Did not like that the bathroom didn't have walkin shower and no windows.
- ALLAN DANIEL (10/5): - Totally recommended.
- Merve (10/5): Very clean, very comfortable and great Table Mountain view. - It was an excellent stay, from breakfast to comfort of the rooms. All the needs were met.

No bad comments.

- Sonya (9/5): Wonderful place to stay - The staff were absolutely wonderful, helpful and friendly. The locations is great. Rooms spacious and everything you need in the room. Breakfast so good and well done to the staff Fresh fruit and full English breakfast. Muffins were absolutely delicious and good coffee - worth a visit. Bathroom door would not close - but nothing serious.
- Larry (10/5): Calm beauty in the middle of the city - Riversong is everything you want in a guesthouse: stylish, clean, excellent staff, accommodating, attention to detail, small touches that make a difference. Located a 5 minute walk from Cavendish Square, Newlands sports ground and across Esme St from Sans Souci Girls High School, it is centrally located while also quiet even in the middle of a bustling work day. Highly recommended!
- Allan (8/5): Very good - The garage set up could be improved by removing the shelving at back so that big cars would not have to have special spots. We came back one day and another person was occupying our bay and we spent 20 minutes getting a key for one that was not occupied - this was very annoying
- Howard (9/5): Superb -
- Richard (8/5): A great base to explore. Beautiful house. Friendly staff. Good breakfast.Hope to come back again. - The location was perfect. Lovely area. The house is beautiful. The staff very welcoming and efficient. Breakfast was promptly served and very nice. We requested a room with a separate room for our teenage son which was accommodated. Walking distance from bars and restaurants and a short drive to lots of places worth visiting. The owner, Inri, was very friendly, very informative and we enjoyed our chats with her. Netflix in the bedroom. Parking was provided. The upstairs lounge was gorgeous and a real pleasure in which to relax. Not much. The room wasn't as nicely finished as the other rooms but as it was the only one that came with two rooms we were OK with that. Garage was a little tight for an SUV. Really though these did not affect the pleasure of our stay whatsoever.

An amazing breakfast each day with a choice of hot options . A large room with a powerful large shower.Very friendly and helpful staff. Everything was great.
- Silvistorm (10/5): A beautiful and family friendly Lodge - It was our first stay to this beautiful Lodge and already planned our next stay with Inri the Owner. Inri definitely has amazing interior decorating skills and it is evident in every room you enter. The whole Lodge is beautifully decorated and ultra comfortable but besides this the staff were amazing and friendly and we're so helpful, warm and kind so much so that they have become our friends now. The breakfasts were very tasty and very filling and were impressed that they supply a water fountain and bottles to take to your rooms so never need to bring in your own water in. The rooms were so clean on entering it felt like no-one stayed there before us! Hand on heart there was nothing we did not like about this Lodge perhaps the only thing we all didn't like was leaving it.
- Nicky (8/5): Enjoyable . - Friendly staff , comfortable room. I did not like the choice of bathroom products , the bathroom floor needs to be re done .

- Silvistorm (10/5): A Quality Hotel with the best Full English breakfasts - We loved EVERYTHING about our stay here Inri, Aaron, Charmaine couldn't do enough for us and with the other guests.

We are booked in again middle March and it's the ONKY place we would stay when we visit Cape Town. Nothing at all
- Mikkel (10/5): Exceptional - I enjoyed my stay a lot. The staff has been extremely friendly and helpful whenever I had any questions or needed assistance.
