We are a husband and wife team who love entertaining and enjoy meeting new people. We bought our "dream home" aka "a disgusting dump", in 2013; with a vision to turn the ugly duckling into something beautiful. During the planning stages of what alterations we were going to do to the house, a close friend insisted that we had to go double story, to maximise the view potential. We asked him what on earth we would do with so many rooms then?; and his answer was "open a guest house". And so the dream was born!! The house was in a very sorry state and had to be gutted. It took two years of planning and two years of building and we have achieved, what we believe to be, our "forever" home. Three of our rooms have the same magnificent view of the Nahoon River and our fourth room boasts a quiet and private courtyard.​ As this is our "forever home", we have spared no expense with the finishes in the house and have fitted each spacious room with decadent bathrooms, as well as modern amenities.

Our family is fun-loving and close-knit : Dad and Mom plus two daughters and one son - between the ages of 19 and 21, who are all currently living away from home, studying and working abroad. We have always had service-based businesses in the past and feel that we are quite suited to, and capable of, managing the hospitality industry. Therefore, going the extra mile in order to ensure that our guests are taken care of and are comfortable staying in our guesthouse, is routine for us. Riverview Guesthouse employs two dynamic staff members - Dora and Sylvia - who always do their utmost to deliver the highest of standards when it comes to room cleanliness and customer satisfaction.
