We had a wonderful stay at De Doornkraal. The rooms are luxurious and very spacious and spotlessly clean. Staying in a period house has its own charm. We had a most enjoyable dinner that evening at their restaurant and all the staff that we encountered were very pleasant and friendly. We most definitely like to return.

We decided to break our journey on the Garden Route and stayed overnight in this most divine place within the beautiful village of Riversdale. The period accommodation, service and restaurant were all excellent and very good value for money. Wait until you taste their fine wines - even better!

This is a quaint hotel from a bygone age - nothing fancy, just plain old-fashioned charm, oozing history. The food is good, the service friendly and the garden ambience a pleasure. It's an ideal overnight stop on the Garden Route halfway between Cape Town and Knysna.

This was our first stop over in Riversdale, touring with a family member from Ireland. From the very warm welcome to the lovely accommodation we could not be happier and would definitely go back here when in the vicinity. The accommodation is old, and steeped in history of a bygone day. The owners have a marathon task with upkeep on the "old bones" but are doing it valiantly. The staff are very accommodating and the meals tastefully presented and delicious.
