We were overwhelmed with this property and the service. We were upgraded as they had had a cancellation to what was a beautiful room full of antiques and extremely well equipped. The breakfast was excellent and served on the veranda overlooking the river and well manicured garden It was so nice to meet the owners which clearly take great pride in the service they provide.

We were only there for one night but what we saw of the town didn't compel us to return. There are a couple of places to visit such as the Ostrich farm and the caves which are incredibly impressive.

We loved absolutely everything about Riverside Guest Lodge - from the warm welcome to the absolutely stunning lodge. Albert and Elza were kind and very helpful, going above and beyond to make our stay special, even leaving cold water and a chocolate for each of us outside our lodge every evening! The lodge had so much character and charm. We were kept warm with heating, electric blankets and a beautiful big fireplace. The breakfast was delicious and to top it all off we even had our car cleaned both mornings we were there! I cannot recommend this place enough - one of the best holiday apartments we have ever stayed in!

Nothing

The design of the place is amazing! Many small details that make you feel like in a tiny museum. location also very good - 3 min by foot to few nice restaurants and easy to get in/out of Oudshorn. Really nice hosts that care of any little detail of the visit - we had to leave before breakfast time so the owner arrived very early to give us take away breakfast (which was really good too). Highly recommend to stay there!

There was a cat living inside the house that wasn't mentioned in the blueprint. If you allergic to cats like me - maybe you should find other place. Otherwise this place is 10/10.

First of all, the owners are the sweetest people who Take a Lot of Care of the property. The House is stunningly beautiful und they pour all of their Love into it. We came from a tented Safari and Loved the heated blankets in the bed to warm Up during the night. Take the breakfast because the Love and Care doesnt Stop. We were a group of four and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed in the Main House but got a glimpse of the Chalets for Families and omg they were spectacular!!! Next time We are going to book one of These ;-)

Absolutely nothing.

After we booked the stay, we had a very good contact with the owners and when we met them on arrival, it was great fun to finaly meet them and also that the place was so very nice - actullay much better than we hoped for. They have a lot of things in the rooms and you could get the feeling that it's to much, but for us - we liked it ! The room was very nice, comfy beds and the bathroom seemed to by quite newly renovated. A very good breakfast in the morning as well. We was just in for one ( 1 ) night, but could easily stayed longer. After we left, we got an mail with a lemut saying: We miss you already !! Lovely !

Stay 02/28/24 - 03/01/24 With the Riverside Guest Lodge, Elza and Albert have created a great place to stay where you feel completely comfortable. Very nice, friendly hosts who have managed to create an oasis of well-being with a special taste for the interior, but also for the beautiful outdoor area with terrace, whirlpool and meadow up to the river bank. Even our rental car was washed free of charge by one of their employees. One of the most beautiful guesthouses on our trip of several weeks in SA. We have felt very comfortable here. We will definitely book with Elza and Albert again on a future stop in Oudtshoorn. Eckhard and Maria Germany

Everything about our stay here was fantastic. A lot of thought had gone in to proving everything you could possibly need and more. Albert and Elza are great hosts are were so helpful with booking restaurants (lots within short walking distance) to telling us where to stop for lunch on our next journey. The little extra touches like the welcome drink were lovely and the honesty bar was ideal for when we were on the terrace - highly recommend staying here if you visit Oudtshoorn.

The guest house exceeded our expectations. The owners were welcoming and very informative with a lovely personal touch. We couldn't believe the size of our room and bathroom. The decor everywhere was wonderfully done, with a homely vibe. The patio/decking area is lovely and set high above the garden below. It almost felt as if you were in the middle of nowhere when you were seated on it. The breakfast was wonderful and there was an honesty bar too.

That we only had 1 night there! We would have liked a fridge in the room just because we were travelling around and had bottles of water with us that we would have liked to have kept cold. But that really was the only thing.

This property is superb in all regards. The hosts, Elza and Albert, are gracious, welcoming, and ever so helpful. We just returned from almost 3 weeks in South Africa, staying in a number of guest houses. Riverside was our most enjoyable stay. We regretted not having booked a longer stay at this wonderful establishment. The attention to detail in all matters of the accommodation are quite remarkable, really. This is a must stay when in the Outdshoorn/George area. The breakfast room and fare were very upscale without feeling stuffy. Food was delicious!

There was honestly nothing we disliked.

Lovely position, owners very friendly and informative about what there was to do around the area, exceptionally helpful when we left some belongings behind! They arranged for them to be couriered to our home very efficiently. There was everything you could want in the bedrooms and elsewhere, and I had the best ever pancakes for breakfast, the breakfasts were all delicious we thought. Lots of seats and tables outside on the balcony terrace too. Our car was even washed for us before leaving.

Nothing.
