We had an excellent stay at Riverview, Andre and Toni couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating throughout our stay. This was most certainly a trip to remember and our home away from home made it even more special.
There is nothing not to like - the facilities are excellent and the view is breathtaking. Booking Riverview Guesthouse is the best decision you could make.

Spectacular view from my room. Place is clean, peaceful and comfortable. Breakfast was on point and the hosts were truly amazing. It was certainly home away from home, and it will be a pleasure to recommend it to friends and family.
I honestly liked everything, except the "no visitors" rule. As someone who was out of town, it would have been great to have been able to have a visitor in my room, not for partying or anything rowdy but just for companionship. Other than that, Riverview is great!

The view is simply “wow”!!!! The room is beautiful, and sumptuous with high quality finishes. Even the shower gel was luxurious. You will be so impressed with this place! The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They even packed me a take away delicious, healthy breakfast for an early flight. The attention to detail is noticeable. Such a treat! I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!
Some thoughts for the owners….It would be lovely to have a summer duvet. For would be guests…. This should not impact on your decision to stay in this incredible place.

The view was excellent and the privacy appreciated. Staff were friendly and helpful and the room was generally well equipped.
No place for or hooks to put your things in the bathroom. Aircon does not work with backup generator "on" - due to ventilation issues. Aircon blows directly into one's face when on bed with no way to alter this.

The venue was well situated with a stunning view of the river. The rooms were quite large and had everything one needed for a pleasant stay (an iron, kettle, hangers, etc.). The breakfast was really good. Tony was also very welcoming and accommodating.

My stay has been so comfortable, I really didn't want to leave. The garden room offered everything I needed - comfort, privacy, peace. The wi-fi is excellent and the fridge / microwave were so handy for evenings when I just wanted to stay in. The breakfasts are a highlight, beautifully presented and delicious. The hosts' warmth and kindness make this truly feel like a home away from home. I would love to return.

The breakfast was exceptional, I had the omlet with mushrooms and bacon that was well presented. The view from our room was also great as well as the premises, my partner made sure to take pictures of herself and the view every chance she got. Really beautiful place
