Introduction

River Manor nestles quietly under Stellenbosch's ancient oaks beside a river, just two mins 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 mins from Cape Town, its calm ambience will lull you - as will River Manor's pampering spa.

For the more active, mountains, vineyards, golf & cheetahs await. Breathtaking golf and hiking are just ten mins 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.
