Conveniently situated in the Southern Suburbs, Riversong offers an outdoor swimming pool, remedial massages and a full-English breakfast. Free Wi-Fi and parking is available.

The staff is great and very friendly! It is located at 3 minutes walk from the start of the Two oceans Marathon, so it was great for me. The room was big and confortable.

Providing garden views, Atholl House is located in the Camps Bay district of Cape Town, 1 km from Camps Bay Beach and 4.9 km from Table Mountain.

This was our first time in Cape Town, and albeit only for one night, our stay was made incredibly special by Ani (and Prudence). The property itself is absolutely stunning, with a high quality finish. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, and although we arrived in torrential thunderstorm, the balcony view was something else. On a beautiful day, I expect it would take your breath away. Ani couldn’t be more hospitable, catering to our every need, and making accommodations for our early arrival. Breakfast was homemade and delicious too - especially the scrambled egg. I couldn’t recommend Atholl House more - you absolutely must stay here! We wish we had stayed for longer.
