River Manor Boutique Hotel & Spa

Only 18 rooms

Description

River Manor nestles quietly under Stellenbosch's ancient oaks beside a river, just 2 minutes walk from the town's historic centre. South Africa's second oldest settlement, it is an ideal base for exploring the Western Cape and its renowned Winelands. Just 30 minutes from Cape Town, its calm ambience will lull you - as will River Manor's pampering spa.

The 18 spacious en-suite rooms, furnished within the theme of 'Colonial Charm with a touch of Africa' are stylishly decorated with antiques and combine old world charm with modern conveniences.

An Intimate Gingko Spa is set within the secluded gardens of River Manor where guests are able to indulge in true luxury and pampering. The Spa is professionally run by a team of therapists offering a range of health, beauty and relaxation treatments.

For the more active, mountains, vineyards, golf & cheetahs await. Breathtaking golf and hiking are just 10 minutes drive away - as are Stellenbosch's 100 or so wine farms. The challenge is choosing; but River Manor has experts on hand with tailored tours to suit.

If history's your thing, Stellenbosch provides - the Village Museum is a model of its kind & several of the nearby wine farms boast historic manor houses as well as exquisite restaurants. But for now, imagine a coffee at ‘The Blue Orange' (5 minutes stroll), before a browse along historic Dorp Street (1 min) before taking in the Village Museum (7 minutes). Then perhaps a cooling dip followed by a twilight concert at Oude Libertas amphitheatre (5 minutes drive). And that's just day one...

For other days, Cape Town beckons with its historic Waterfront & Robben Island Ferry (40 minutes drive). Or visit one of the Cape's 50 beaches (15 - 60 minutes), Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens (40 minutes - a must), Cape Point (90 minutes) and many other options! Welcome to Stellenbosch and the Western Cape!
