We spent a glorious weekend at Rivergate Farm. The gardens itself justify a visit to the farm. Picking salad from the lush vegetable garden, added to the charm. We stayed in Woodrose Cottage and loved the setting, privacy, and attention to detail. A comfy bed with quality linen, fluffy towels, and a spacious living and outside area, make this the perfect spot to spend a few days. The breakfast basket delivered to the Cottage was filled with wholesome products. Leaving with a freshly picked bunch of fragrant sweetpeas was the cherry on top. We can strongly recommend Rivergate Farm.

Outstanding two night stay, wish it had been longer! The cottage is beautifully appointed with a large sitting area, well equipped kitchen, patio area has a beautiful view over the valley towards the mountains and is ideal for breakfasting or just relaxing. Superb breakfast delivered to your room in baskets, plenty of gluten free options. We also had their tasty home cooked evening meals, you can pre-order these and then just heat up in the kitchen, excellent value. The farm has extensive grounds which you are free to wander around, impressive vegetable gardens and planted areas, a tasteful shop. We were shown around the farm, recommend it for families with children - they'll love the alpacas and donkeys. Made to feel at home from the moment we were welcomed by Bianca. There is plenty to see and do in the area, Stanford itself is charming and the nearby Walker Bay coast is a wonder - we were fortunate to be there during the whale watching season and it didn't disappoint. Thank you to everyone at Rivergate for a memorable stay!

Went for a weekend and had the best experience. Donkeys, billy goats and alpacas keep you company while your not relaxing or SUP biarding up and down the Klein river.
Stayed in the Gatehouse, great view of the mountain and a great place to enjoy the handmaid breakfast basket we get everymorning with fruit, yogurt, freshly made bread and farm eggs.

We had a fabulous stay to celebrate our mom's 85th birthday. There were 15 of us, and we all loved it. The whole family (owners) were warm and engaging and as excited about the surprise as we were. All accommodations are beautifully appointed. Considered, tasteful with a few delighful and thoughtful surprises. There has been such attention to detail in appointment and delivery in every aspect. Delicious farm baskets were delivered to our cottages for breakfast with home baked goodies, fresh eggs, meats and cheeses, yogurts, and eggs. There are fabulous options for self-catering, but our meal in the barn was excellent. Genuine hospitality with heartfelt intention. With the inspiring gardens and the much loved farm animals...it is a place where the live and passion that has gone into its creation comes to life in the experience. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay. highly recommended. 💗

We went to Rivergate Farm for lunch. What a lovely setting and wonderful food. Some dishes had a twist which totally uplifted the dish such as butternut soup with sage and pesto. The butternut bacon and blue cheese parcels was to die for. Had kingklip, pork belly and Caribean coconut mussel curry.

We had a lovely lunch recently at Rivergate. It has a charming setting in the barn and outside overlooking the kitchen garden. The beef & lager pie was delicious but the highlight were the salads, freshly picked. When finished have a walk through the garden and animal enclosures, recommended for children.

Amazing guest farm with incredible gardens! Can see so much effort goes into the place from the whole family. The food baskets are delicious. The food in the restaurant was out of this world and as fresh as it can get. Would recommend to anyone looking for a family getaway!

We had the most amazing lunch at the restaurant. Friendly staff, exceptional food and the most stunning venue. So grateful for our experience. We went birdwatching and fed the alpacas. The garden is incredible, a lot of love has gone into this place.
