Riversong is simply the best place for anyone visiting gorgeous Capetown! Everything about that guest house is awesome. The entire crew - Inri, Charmaine, Winner, Miriam etc do an exceptional job to make your stay enjoyable. They have answers to every question, will even go an extra step to do stuff they are not even required to do. One feels... More

Riversong is an oasis in Capetown. It is located on a quiet street, away from the hustle and bustle of the Waterfront. After arriving late at night, we were greeted personally by Inri and shown to our fabulous rooms. We had been travelling for two weeks on safari and it was a luxury to settle into such a lovely place... More

Do you know what, having stayed at some of the top hotels in the world I was absolutely astonished by this guest house.

having booked online we were surprised to find that the en-suite part of our room was not actually separate from the bedroom. For us, this was taking intimacy too far. However, the room was very comfortable otherwise, and a subsequent tour of other rooms revealed that ours was the only one with this questionable feature. Also there was a very... More
