Riversdale Estate Cottages
4.5 star property
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (390)
"The key to the Villa was not under the mat as advised in email and someone else was staying in that Villa anyway. Walked down to the cellar door to get a number for the Contact person as we did not receive a SMS. We were advised to choose another villa to stay in. This took about an hour of our time after arriving from a long day travelling. Needed to empty the dishwasher on arrival. Beautiful setting with wonderful views. Spacious & comfortable. We would stay again."

"It was a clean comfortable property on a farm in a beautiful setting. Our host, Peta went out of her way to make us feel welcome with lots of personal touches- home made bread and raspberry jam, fresh farm eggs, heated towel rail and night light, charging station for phones etc. Right in the middle of a wine trail and close to historic Richmond."
