Riversong Guest House

Riversong sits beside a stream in green, leafy Newlands, one of Cape Town’s prettiest suburbs and a short drive from Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden and the Constantia wine route. Gardens, birdsong and comfortable, homely rooms make it a peaceful retreat away from the coastal bustle.

It is ideal for travellers who prioritise nature, quiet and easy access to the southern suburbs and mountain walks.

Next to CUBE, the contrast is setting and style: Newlands is inland and suburban rather than perched above the Atlantic, and Riversong offers a homely rather than design-led stay, without the guest smartphone or personal, host-led planning that make CUBE stand out.
