For the past 3 years I have spent 2 weeks every year at the Riverview Guesthouse, and wouldn't want to stay anywhere else during my trip to East London. The guesthouse is comfortable, clean, well equipped and the staff are friendly and accomodating, ensuring a pleasant stay. The hosts are fantastic and the view is breathe taking! Thank you for such great and reliable service. See you again next year!

“Amazing, friendly and caring”
We got a room upgrade and since we had to leave very early the owners made us a breakfast bag each to go. It was more than we expected and so lovely.

“Cosy place. Lovely hosts.”
Andre and Toni are very lovely people and very gracious hosts. I was accommodated for my (very) late check in. Communication was seamless and efficient. The room was very clean and cosy.. the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good. I had an omelette for breakfast and it was tasty. I loved their attention to detail.
