Roy and staff were absolutely awesome! They catered to our every need. Breakfast was first class as were the rooms. The cappuccino was also the best!

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.

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.
