a warm and cosy bedroom at the river manor
description
This classic 18-room boutique hotel is slap in the middle of the Stellenbosch winelands. Complete with a Ginkgo spa and outdoor pool surrounded by cushioned sun loungers, it’s just what you need after a long journey or a few early mornings on safari. The style is elegant and homely, with grand arches, antique wooden furniture and masses of fresh flowers.

location
Two minutes on foot from the historic town centre of Stellenbosch, River Manor is in just the right spot for some world-class wine tasting. Only 45 minutes from Cape Town city centre, it’s easy to fit into an itinerary too.
your room
The hotel describes it’s rooms as ‘colonial charm with a touch of Africa’ and we think that sums them up well. If you’re looking for flash and sleek, this isn’t the place for you: here you’ll find super comfortable soft carpets, rich red throws over the carved wooden king sized beds, glowing lamps and afternoon tea outside by the colourful flower bed.

The style reflects the area’s heritage and gives you insight into the history of the building.
why we like it
We love that everything in Stellenbosch town is reachable on foot from River Manor, meaning you can make the most of the busy live music scene and the associated wine-sipping too without worrying about how to get home. No need for Scooterman, then.
