As we were the only guests for that night we ended up with a suite which was great- but it was in the original thatched cottage- which we loved- but if you wanted modern this would not be for you. Breakfast was good- and dinner there the night before was okay, but obviously as it was only us I think they limited the menu. Still a good choice and more than we could eat. Let us leave our car in the secure parking whilst we took in the two tourist attractions at the end of the street 👍🏻

Bathroom would have benefited from an extractor fan.

What a surprise to find this original little boutique hotel - not trying to pretend to be anything it's not and very quaint with original features and decor to suit the era. Sadly it was raining so we didn't get a chance to use the pool which looked lovely or wander around the gardens which has white roses in bloom. The shower water pressure was amazing - best we have had so far in South Africa. Wifi was great too despite others rating it low. Beautiful cafe just a few minutes down the road and lovely menu for dinner and brekky in the hotel. Bookings.com had not communicated our change of date so they expected us the day before but they quickly sorted a room for us.

perhaps could do with a little maintenance like the ceiling in the bathroom but other than that everything was great.

Great breakfast. Decent stay. Solid furniture . Full DSTV package.

The room had a weird old smell. The entrance gate had to be operated manually. The place was a bit stuffy, but I did mention to the receptionist that the windows need to be opened a bit as it can be stuffy. I did not really like the location as there is nothing in the town

I have stayed here many times in the past 3 years and have always been very comfortable and well looked after

WiFi has deteriorated since my last stay and for a self-employed entrepreneur who needs to be able to work this is a real downside

Breakfast was tasty with a fair variety Setup and the natural environment so healing. Got to buy from their wine range😍 Staff was so lovely and welcoming

Water takes longer to warm up, you have to run hot water for long before the warm one

The location was good. The hot water -bottle!

We battled to log on to Wi-fi. It kept saying the password is incorrect, but in fairness, there was loadshedding and that could have been the problem. Outside light did not work- which made it spooky to arrive back at the cottage during loadshedding.

What a lovely hidden gem, the garden cottage was so cute and a very comfy stay!! We also ate at the restaurant and the food was good, would definitely recommend!! The staff even helped us out late at night when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the cottage. Thank you so much!!!

Most beautiful Guesthouse. Been staying for work and only stay there when in Riversdal. Oh my gosh. Their Breakfast, continental forsure.

They should get better plug points. I always bring my own plugs and leads. Loadshedding .

The staff are friendly, and the facilities are really comfortable. We have stayed there on many occasions, and I can only recommend the experience. The rooms are very comfortable, clean and there is a strong feeling of care.
