We had the most incredible stay at Riverhide. Lizanne is an incredible host and spoiled us with little touches that really made it all extra special. The house is exceptionally comfortable and stressfree. The surrounds are spectacular and I can think of no better place to unwind or use as a base to explore the Robertson/ Swellendam area.

As International guests we stayed at Riverhide and it completely exceeded every expectation. There were eight of us, and the home was absolutely perfect  spacious, elegant, and filled with thoughtful touches that made us feel instantly at home.
The property overlooks a breathtaking dam and river, framed by majestic mountains — it’s pure tranquility. Everywhere you look, you can see the care, love, and thoughtfulness that the owners have poured into this space. From the design and comfort to the attention to detail, everything is done with heart and intention.
What truly blew us away were the personal touches ,freshly baked bread waiting for us, marshmallows for toasting, and other little gifts that made us feel genuinely welcome.
The garden is clearly a labour of love  created with pure passion and hard work :)
We will definitely love to stay again on our next visit to South Africa. ♡

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful place. It is everything you would hope for: quiet, cozy, and incredibly peaceful. The surroundings are stunning, with nature all around, a lovely river nearby, and the calming sound of birds in the trees. It is the perfect escape if you are looking to relax.
Lizanne is an exceptional host; kind, respectful, and genuinely friendly. She made sure everything was just right, and her warm hospitality added to the overall experience. I truly appreciated her attention to detail and the welcoming atmosphere she created.
Highly recommend this hidden gem, I will definitely be back.

This was one of the best AirBnBs we have EVER booked and I’ve booked over 29 trips on this app! This location is so magical - the photos don’t do it justice. Don’t think twice about booking, it is honestly INCREDIBLE. I cannot convey it enough. We watched eagles from the lounge and outdoor seating area all day long. We caught and released multiple big fish. The jacuzzi was the best we’ve ever experienced. The fire pit is incredible and the house is so big, you have so much privacy even if all the rooms are filled by your friends. Lizanne was also such a darling - we will always come back and book again. Oh and the gardens - wow. One of the best residential gardens in SA by far. Thank you for the most beautiful stay Lizanne ❤️
