Country charm and understated luxury epitomise your stay at Rivergate Guest Farm, situated on the banks of the Klein River, a short 2km drive from Stanford just outside Hermanus. Reconnect with nature in this authentic setting, where you'll also encounter friendly alpacas, free-roaming chickens and adorable miniature donkeys.
Set on 15 acres of sprawling farmland and beautifully landscaped gardens, the feature flowers garden, bountiful picking garden, hard-working kitchen garden and fruit orchard form the heart of the guest farm. Unwind in the wood-fired hot tub as you take in the stunning views of the Kleinriver Mountains and beyond.

Highly Recommend!
Amazing guest farm with incredible gardens! Can see so much effort goes into the place from the whole family. The food baskets are delicious. The food in the restaurant was out of this world and as fresh as it could get. Would recommend to anyone looking for a family getaway!
