The Riverstone House
A quiet pet-friendly pool on open farmland
About this stay
The Riverstone House keeps a simple formula that clearly works: a pet-friendly pool, air conditioning and a kitchen in some rooms, on open farmland outside any malaria zone and unfenced beyond the cottage garden itself. The 9.6 rating from 76 reviews is among the higher scores in Wolseley's pet-friendly category, suggesting the property delivers consistently on a modest, focused amenity list rather than overpromising to guests who book here for a longer visit. Free Wi-Fi and free parking are included as standard, and the roughly ninety-minute taxi transfer from Cape Town International puts it in line with most other stays across this whole stretch of the Breede Valley and its surrounding farmland, orchards and vineyard rows.

Our take
Outside any malaria zone and pet-friendly with a pool, this suits travellers who want a straightforward farm stay without a long amenity checklist to work through. The kitchen makes it practical for a longer visit, and the strong rating across a decent review sample suggests few surprises on arrival. Travellers wanting a hot tub or spa alongside the pool should look toward Steenbok Farm Cottages or Guinevere Guest Farm instead, both a short drive away.
- Stock the kitchen on arrival, since the property sits some distance from Wolseley's limited restaurant options nearby.
- Confirm the fenced boundary for your dog before letting it off the lead near the surrounding open farmland.
- Book ahead during the January to March harvest, when this rating tends to sell the property out early.

Why guests love itThe Riverstone House is a three-star, pet-friendly stay I would suggest to families who want a simple base with a pool and a high rating. Rooms are air-conditioned, some have a kitchen for easy meals, and parking is free. It is roughly ninety minutes by road from Cape Town International, so plan on a car. The 9.6 score across 76 reviews suggests the hosts keep standards high for its category.
