85 guests' feedbackIt was a short overnight stay, but it was well appointed and obviously professionally managed.
Very nice and peaceful.
We had a very nice stay. Nice peaceful farmhouse and farm atmosphere. Would recommend breakfast if we were on our way to the Cape.
Very very nice stay. Sincere thanks.
We enjoyed our overnight stay.
Very cute place and friendly and helpful people. There is everything you need and beautiful gardens too. The only thing to note is that the 4-person cottage doesn't really have a kitchen - only a small fridge, microwave and kettle. There were cups and plates, but no bowls to e.g. canning salad, nor bowls for breakfast porridge. But very nice place otherwise and at a very reasonable price.
Very nice place, very neat and nice and quiet.
We had a great time at Riversford.
We really enjoyed our stay. The rooms were spotlessly clean. The bathrooms were modern. I particularly loved the furniture in the farm house.
We had a wonderful stay. Plus points - sheltered braai area, fresh milk.
The photos on the page are not accurate. Although the places are very clean and tidy, they are very old fashioned. There is also a terrible smell in the main house, probably from all the bats that live in the house and fly around. With all the farm murders taking place, we also tried to set the alarm as there are no burglar bars in front of the windows, but the owner called us late at night and asked us to please set the alarm. have to put out.
I loved the old world feel you get on the farm. Their service was great.
Best sleepover with the dogs. Safe, clean and very tidy.
So conveniently placed to the freeway for travel either way. Easy to find and an oasis in the dry and heat. The sheep in the field are a delight to watch.
Incredibly neat. Old farmhouse with thick stone walls very nicely converted into this guest house. We had a nice time under the big trees in the garden while we could watch wildlife and livestock.
The house is beautiful and tasteful. Painfully neat and clean. The gardens are beautiful and nature is inside you. Everything you need for peace of mind.
What a delightful stay in the countryside. Everything was beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean. We opted for dinner and the meal was excellent, and Alina who took care of us was extremely friendly and hospitable.
We really enjoyed sleeping in such a beautiful place.
We stayed there for a weekend while doing flowers for a wedding on a neighboring farm. Altus went out of his way and made us early breakfast himself. Als was beautifully clean and tidy. It's a beautiful old, incredibly well-kept farm.
Beautiful old farmhouse, beautiful furniture, great condition, great service.
We will stay there again if we overnight in Bloem.
Outstanding. Clean, tidy and very friendly staff.
The rooms were very clean and the host very accommodating as we arrived quite late - thank you!
If it wasn't for the water issue, it was a comeback opportunity.
A washing up basin in the kitchen would be great.
Lovely setting and practical location. We were welcomed by the farm foreman. The stoep room is comfortable but small and has no opening windows or privacy. Over-priced for what we got and in comparison with similar stays.
When we arrived, nobody was there to meet us and the phone number just rang. Eventually, some farm workers directed us through a back gate and we found someone with the key. The unit we booked, however, had no water in the kitchen and no cutlery. To their credit, though, we were moved to another bigger unit which was well stocked. It is a lovely bunch of old farm houses and, but for our problems, would make a nice stopover.
Would be nice to have rooibos tea available. Better info is needed on directions from the booking agent.
Interior decoration good and very clean interior and grounds. However, units are dark and bats in roof space which raises health risks. We also did not feel safe because neither the owner nor the manager stays on the premises, fencing does not offer much protection and it happened that the alarm system did not work during load shedding.
We stayed in the 2-bed cottage, which is very spacious and well equipped for overnight stays. We were warmly received upon our arrival and enjoyed the beautiful garden. We were the only guests for the night and felt very safe. Will definitely stay at Riversford again in the future.
We had a very nice overnight stay. Most beautiful antique furniture and everything very neat and clean. The main house was perfect for our little family. Perfect location for overnight stay.
Would recommend to anyone. Delicious farm breakfast and beautiful rooms and incredibly hospitable.
It was nice and very clean. Will sleep there again.
Nice rooms, equipped with everything you need and some unexpected extras. We had a great stay and appreciate the wonderful service we received from Altus. We will definitely be back.
The stay was very great! Friendly service and will stay here again for sure!
Very pleased with the service, the owner and staff are very friendly and hospitable. Rooms were clean and beautiful. Vintage vibe - would definitely go again.
We had such an amazing time. The most beautiful farm house with a beautiful kitchen. We booked the farm house and therefore the full farm kitchen was at our disposal, which we were so grateful for. The maid was so kind to make us a nice breakfast on Saturday morning (with our own products that we bought) she even offered to iron our clothes for us before our wedding. Which of course we were so grateful for. Our boy is 18 months old and there is more than enough play space. He could run around without us having to make sure he was safe. There are cute geese, kittens and goats that we enjoyed so much. It is incredibly safe. Just make sure to turn off lights in the evenings and keep windows and doors closed, otherwise you might attract a bat or two. This place is worth its weight in gold! Their service is absolutely superb. If you have a wedding at De Oude Kraal Country Estate this is your closest accommodation.
Beautifully furnished rooms and especially bathtubs are beautiful. Gardens and the surroundings are pleasing to the eye. Farm is very close to the N1 Safe and peaceful with the most beautiful scenery.
It was the perfect overnight stop for us to take on the long road again the next day. We were welcomed very kindly. Braai facilities were nicely covered for us upon our arrival. The place was very clean and tidy!
Nice farm atmosphere - would definitely use again.
I was however surprised at the dinner bill of R180 per person. My fault for not asking the price. The meal was good and well presented but we still considered the price too high. A small meal option would have been welcome. I should have asked.
Ideal for overnight stay. Lovely farm atmosphere with animals nearby. Unit was beautifully clean and tidy. Nice decor too.
See stars.
See lots of game and sheep and lots of birds on farm.
The cottage is lovely as are the gardens. The beds are very comfortable and the location to the N1 is very handy. There is a need for a curtain across the front doors to provide privacy. Others have commented similarly. We are international travellers and were caught short with load shedding not knowing its local timetable. Place a printout at reception for you to photograph which is handy. Finally, an improvement upon entry would be a gate entrance procedure, please. I would stay there again when passing.
Incredibly tidy with crisp bedding. Excellent hospitality with beautiful garden and layout.
We spent the night there for a wedding at a destination nearby. Nicely furnished, and the staff is very helpful.
Very tidy and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.
Riversford is easily the best overnight place that I have ever experienced! Altus and Marieta (sorry if I got your name wrong), made it very very pleasant! Lovely dinner! It is fantastic to stay over on such a farm! The room was top quality and lovely and spacious! Lots of animals for the children to see, space to cycle, water to swim in, space for walks. Really pleasant!
Altus was very accommodating with our requests and needs, the farm is absolutely beautiful and the room very nice and tidy. We had a really nice stay and would definitely go back.
Beautiful, clean and tidy place. Highly recommended.
It is a lovely quiet environment and very close to the N1 which is very convenient, because we had to hit the road again early in the morning. Our host, Altus was very helpful and friendly. Everything was nice and clean and in its place. We slept over in the cottage and the decor is certainly pleasing to the eye. Very pretty. Will definitely stay here again and would also recommend it.
Everything was very clean and tidy.
Friendly and hospitable. Great in every way.
Very pleasant overnight stay in old stone farmhouse. Take meat with you and just grill too. Very pleasant place that has very good decor that matches the old farmhouse.
Everything clean and tidy and lovely wooden cupboards in the rooms. We were attending a wedding nearby and it was the ideal place to stay. Can recommend it with confidence.
Great service and accommodation. Wouldn't say breakfast was worth R120 pp, but filled the gap.
Beautiful neat guest farm! Close to N1, but far enough for a quiet and peaceful night's rest. The cottage was immaculately clean with crisp linen, comfortable beds and much more. Delicious dinner! Elena, the lady who received us, was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely stay there again.
Finally we found an ideal place to stay: beautiful homestead and gardens on a farm near the N1.
Visited many guest houses. Why are there dry flowers and little boxes/ornaments, as one only wants a super clean place, without dust collectors. They take the space of my luggage and toiletries. We had to sleep with outside lamp on, shining through glass door. Couldn't find switch. Most frustrating, when you need to drive again next day.
A beautiful working sheep farm, with a lovely 2-bedroomed cottage set in a pretty garden, just off the N1. A perfect overnighter not far from Bloemfontein.
Bathroom light didn't work, struggled with my 2 year old as there was only a shower. There was a terrible strong smell in the room, polish or something but it immediately closed our noses and gave us terrible headaches. The bathroom drain stank. There were no porridge bowls. And the place was terribly small. Because it didn't have a kitchen and wasn't self-catering and there was no place to eat on the premises so we had to drive 30 km into town to be able to eat.
Very neat and refined accommodation on a working farm. Altus provided excellent service. Also upgraded our stay at no cost. Breakfast and the evening's barbecue were delicious. Very well located from N1. Will definitely recommend.
Comfortable. Nice and quiet for an overnight stay along the N1.
Riversford was the perfect place for us. The children could ride bikes and play around. It is a beautiful cottage where everything has been carefully thought of.
Very close to the N1. Neat farm with nice houses. Farm breakfast was exceptional! Service was good and friendly. Friendly people.
Everything was perfect, but the kindness and professional behavior of everyone that will stay with us the longest.
Brilliant accommodation, pristine setting and well-kept farm.
Attended a wedding at De Oude Kraal, Riversford is perfectly situated for overnight accommodation close to the venue. Clean and comfortable room, friendly staff! Breakfast was average for the price.
The unit we stayed in was neat. However, there is only a room and bathroom, so it is definitely only a place to sleep and not a place to visit. It was quite expensive for what we got. For example, if we had stayed in a hotel in Bloemfontein for the same cost, there would have been a bit more amenities. However, if you are looking for a place that is clean and tidy and very quiet to sleep over, this is the right place for you.
It was generally just okay.
Awesome experience! Enjoyed it thoroughly.
Nice breakfast.
Riversford is very convenient, clean, neat and safe. Delicious breakfast and good service. Will definitely recommend them.
Friendly reception by owner and staff. Most beautiful neat environment and fully equipped rooms Delicious breakfast.
I will recommend Riversford 100% to any other guests. They are friendly and helpful and always ready to assist you!
Easily accessible, owners made us feel very welcome. Lovely stay, clean and tidy. Nice breakfast.
The hosts are lovely and there is a nice garden outside the house.
We had a warm welcome and the accommodation was clean, spacious and had everything that we needed. The aircon was a bonus.
We had a great stay at Riversford. Altus went to great lengths to show us the way and take us through the house. Alina was available if we needed anything. The house is very well furnished, we have a baby and could easily wash and sterilize his bottles etc. We will definitely consider staying here again.
Very nice and peaceful. It's also safe.
Us and the children really enjoyed it. Wonderful service and comfortable accommodation!
Very neat farm accommodation, very friendly and hospitable.
Accommodation at Riversford is very good. It's a pity that they don't have braai facilities because the only place you can buy food at night is at Tom's place and that was average. Breakfast that is included at Tom's place is acceptable.
