82 guests' feedbackAbsolutely superb! Could not fault a thing!
Great Guest House, neat and tidy. Reception by Myna was friendly, helpful and hospitable. Beds slept great. Environment nice and quiet.
Awesome. Clean. Very helpful. Excellent food.
There should be a whole lot more stars to rate this beautiful GH with. Attention to detail obviously is their top achievement, excellent service and top-end quality decor. They made us a delicious, delectable dinner with no issues. Will only ever stay here when traveling through Aliwal North.
Very clean, tidy and professional.
Beautiful and clean. Friendly staff. Beautiful garden! I recommend it to anyone who prefers the finer lifestyle.
Very nice and peaceful. Especially enjoyed the view over the dam. Great family visit. Kitchen in cottage well equipped.
Excellent stay! Very neat, clean and luxurious.
Pleasurable experience. Beautifully appointed rooms.
We had a very nice stay.
Stay was good, but having to go out at night for dinner was not pleasant.
Very comfortable, a nice place to stop off after driving.
Excellent stay!
Very nice stay, beautiful place with a nice atmosphere and everything travelers need.
Host was amazing, rooms are beautiful and breakfast was delicious. Wish we could have stayed longer, but will definitely visit again.
This was meant to be just a stopover destination on our road trip, but boy, we're delighted with this find! The room was well appointed- stunning, in fact! The whole place has been beautifully done! We had our own private veranda. There was a pool which we could use which you don't see in the pictures, which we were grateful for because it was super hot! And for us, what is most important, is the bed was super comfy!
We stay there regularly and always get great service, my husband is recovering from a knee replacement and they went out of their way to make it as comfortable as possible for him.
The reception was friendly and professional. The room was comfortable, the underfloor heating a pleasant surprise on a cold autumn evening. The grounds were well maintained and picturesque.
Lovely decor. Friendly staff.
I booked whilst still on the road to my destination. Made EFT from my phone. Received confirmation of my full payment, but on arrival, it had not been updated on the system. Choose a room with a queen-size bed (got double). Room was only ready for a single guest, not a couple. We were not advised of loadshedding times (being from a different province).
We were there for honeymoon, and although we informed them that it was our honeymoon, and arranged that they would make an effort to make the room (honeymoon suite) romantic, they did nothing. Additionally, the double shower's one shower head only dispensed cold water, although there was also a hot faucet. Don't feel I got value for money.
It was lovely to sleep over at La Riviera on the way back to Gauteng. The facilities are nice, clean and offer what is offered on the website. Thank you.
Good service. Very nice and clean. Five star quality. Met all our expectations.
Silver clean accommodation of the best quality, good dinner, would definitely stay there again. Izelle and her staff are just the best!
Oasis in the desert. We always use it as a stopover on the way to the sea, but then have such a good time that we wonder why we want to drive any further.
We could not sit outside as the person next door was smoking.
La Riviera Guesthouse is simply beautiful. The rooms are tastefully furnished and decorated. Clean, fresh sheets and quality pillows along with a silence that calms your soul and ensures a good night's rest.
Friendly staff and it is located close to town. Had a great rest too.
If you are looking for a luxurious night's rest, this is the place for you. The room and bathroom are immaculate and luxurious.
Friendly service. Clean and comfortable accommodation. Will definitely come again.
Slept very comfortably. We are very impressed with the food. It was fantastic.
We were disappointed that the Spa was not open on a long weekend.
Well appointed comfortable room in a safe environment. Well kept gardens. Very peaceful.
Friendly staff, stylish and comfortable accommodation, relaxing environment, good food.
We had a wonderful rest. The food was top notch. Everything beautifully taken care of. We were spoiled!
Would definitely recommend it.
We spent the night here with my mother and two adult children on our way to the Wildekus. Beautiful, neat and comfortable place. Arranged dinner specially for us which was delicious. Breakfast is top notch.
La Riviera is incredibly beautiful and clean, the most beautiful furniture and detail. The patio next to the river is beautiful and we had a good stay. Will definitely always stop there in the future. The honeymoon suite is an experience, truly excellent.
Fantastic, stylish, clean, safe, tidy and comfortable overnight and even longer stay. Everything needed is in the unit. I will without a doubt plan my future accommodation arrangements around the La Riviera again.
Very nice and comfortable. One of the cleanest places I've ever seen!
Lovely unit in a peaceful environment.
Thank you very much for a safe and beautifully equipped clean place to stay.
Very nice, good location.
The welcoming roses, beautiful French furniture, and the view of the pond and ducks were food for the soul. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only disappointment was that breakfast was not included.
We had a wonderful stay in the well-equipped rooms with a nice view of the ducks in the water. Did find the stairs to the rooms from the car park difficult with our bags. A porter would have been handy. We were elderly visitors.
Breakfast is excluded. This must be arranged in advance, but no mention is made of it.
The web page gives the impression that there is a cute kitchen that is part of the complex. The reality is it is operated by a third party. They close just after 4 in the afternoon and dinners are not an option except for ordering something in advance. The breakfast is also only available from 9:00.
La Riviera is a peaceful getaway with friendly staff. Rooms are spacious and comfortably furnished.
Nice, clean and slept peacefully.
What a loop court in the heart of nowhere. Extremely tasteful room decor and clean bedding, nice cuddly pillows, and a complementary glass of sherry to welcome you. Nice biscuit with coffee in the morning - thank you. The coffee shop served delicious breakfast and more coffee and there were beautiful gifts (especially the handbags!) for sale. Thank you for a wonderful sleepover experience.
Beautiful, comfortable rooms with great service and amenities.
Perfect location, good view and quiet. Staff very helpful friendly and well trained.
Beautiful guest house. People very friendly and helpful. The rooms are spacious and the grounds very beautiful and well maintained.
Very comfortable cottage.
See stars.
La Riviera Guesthouse is highly recommended as a B&B. The rooms are furnished to a very high standard and the outside area with the dam and ducks make for a very pleasant night cap. The breakfast was also of a very high standard. Highly recommended as a stop-over from Gauteng to the Eastern Cape.
Well appointed. Decor is exquisite and tasteful. The self-catering units are ideal for families.
Very neat accommodation. Breakfast very nice. Really nice place to stay.
We received a beautiful unit that is stylishly furnished with all the amenities you could need. The unit was very spacious, clean and practically laid out. The reservation does not include breakfast, but we went to have breakfast at the Stables the next morning. It is highly recommended with a very nice environment and good value for money breakfast.
Neat and tidy rooms, lovely setting.
Rooms were neat and comfortable.
After a long day's drive from Pretoria it was really a great surprise to arrive at the beautiful place and relax, the room looked exactly like the photos. The hostess was also very helpful and received us hospitably. Believe we also saw a bank rabbit on the lawn.
The guest house is absolutely wonderful. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to do the return to Gauteng here again. The rooms are beautiful. The view of the dam from our porch too beautiful. The service, staff and food are top notch. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Staying here is an absolute pleasure.
The decor was wonderfully done and the service was efficient and friendly. Food was great.
The place is beautiful and stylish.
Beautiful, spoiled rotten, friendly and helpful staff, delicious food, peaceful environment. Very nice cottages. Would only help if there was a fan or air conditioning in the rooms in the scorching heat.
Very nice and quiet guesthouse. Friendly owner and workers. Delicious breakfast and rusks. Luxurious furniture and style. Enjoyed our overnight and feel it's value for money. Just think they can provide more than two towels and maybe bigger towels like bath sheets.
We had a very nice stay. Slept well, ate well.
We were very thankful that the hostess waited for us to arrive. The rooms are beautiful and the layout is good. We will easily go again and try to stay for longer to experience the tranquillity. It was a pleasant experience!
Location is perfect, hostess is adorable and everything is picture perfect and clean.
Two families stayed in the 6-sleeper house. Owner went out of her way organising a matrass and bedding for the additional child. Modern and tastefully furnished. Kitchen excellently equipped. Nice stoep with beautiful view. Had a nice braai the night and had breakfast at The Stables the next morning. Staff friendly and service excellent. Will definitely be returning.
The place was first class, the cottage beautiful, bedding spotless and a wonderful stay!
Was a great experience with friendly service. Misunderstanding regarding breakfast reservation that had to be paid for. Expected for the price that the breakfast would be included. Wonderful setting with water and ducks. Breakfast was delicious.
There was a mistake with my booking - didn't get the correct room. Staff was really helpful and corrected it. Bath faucets in Room 5 doesn't work properly. Hot water has zero pressure. No cold water. But the spacious room, neatness, surrounds and staff made up for it.
Pathetic reception, we thought breakfast was included. At these rights you'd expect M-Net and other channels to be included. It is very neat though.
Very nice and peaceful place. My little boy was sick and they went out of their way to help me find a doctor. It was definitely the best and most caring service I have ever experienced. Will definitely visit you again. Thank you very much.
Amazing. They should get a thousand stars. The decor is beautiful. Wow, the service was excellent!
Guest have to pre-book/arrange dinner! Restaurant isn't always open!
Beautiful guest house and special effort with our platter. Will go back for sure.
Very good service and accommodation.
We were so pampered and treated as special. Thank you very much.
The rooms are tasteful and very comfortable. Literally EVERYTHING has been thought of. The hospitality is unprecedentedly friendly and hospitable. Breakfast was very good. We would definitely recommend La Riviera Guest House and use this beautiful place again!
