Excellent Accomodation

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Dec 2022
Riverview is well located along a river that flows into the ocean very nearby. Most of the rooms have a stunning view of the river. The property is neat and clean and the hosts were very helpful and friendly. I will undoubtedly be staying there again.
Date of stay: December 2022
Room Tip: Garden View Room has no view of the River.

Lovely location and beautiful view. Quiet. Excellent wifi and tv/streaming options, load-shedding free thanks to generator, great food (tried all 3 meals a day!) and friendly hosts, decor with character in rooms and dining room.
Not ideal for a family holiday though; better for business trip/adults.

I have been looking for a decent place to stay in East London for years and finally found the one. Found my go to place in the city. Met all my needs with great, tastefully decorated rooms, great host and view of the river.

Peaceful and calming environment at its best. Relaxing atmosphere. Forget your troubles. Beautiful sunset, enticing enough to de-stress.

Great and welcoming host. A protein packed breakfast to last all day long.

My stay was so comfortable, I really didn't want to leave. The room with the small courtyard offered everything I needed - privacy, comfort and peace. The Wi-Fi was excellent and microwave / fridge handy for evenings when I just wanted to stay in. The breakfasts are a highlight, beautifully presented and delicious. The hosts' kindness and warmth make this truly feel like a home away from home.
