About River Manor Boutique Hotel & Spa

River Manor is a National Heritage Monument, one of Stellenbosch’s original smaller boutique hotels in two separate manor houses which have been beautifully restored in colonial Cape Dutch style typical of this historic wineland region. It has eighteen comfortable guest rooms set back from the road within tranquil gardens, with an on-site spa and wellness centre. Situated along a quiet oak-lined avenue on the banks of the Eerste River, this is a great choice of convenient and comfortable bed and breakfast accommodation within a few minutes’ walking distance to the heart of town and its lively street café culture.

Cultural

Stellenbosch is home to some of South Africa’s best vineyards and gourmet restaurants, and wine tasting tours are naturally the top attraction. This area is also renowned for its challenging mountain bike tracks and hiking trails. Stunning nature reserves offer wildlife and birdwatching opportunities, and horse riding can be arranged from the hotel, together with a variety of tailor-made day trips. The championship Pearl Valley golf course is nearby, and the historic Franschhoek Valley is a short drive away.
