Stanford River Lodge

Stanford River Lodge is situated right on the exquisite natural beauty of the Klein River, with uninterrupted views of the Klein River Mountains that run parallel to the river. B&B or self-catering rooms are available, each with en-suite bathrooms, covered patios with barbecue facilities. The upstairs Honeymoon Suite also boasts stunning views both from the bed and bath.

The area is ideal for paddling, rowing or boating, with a bird sanctuary on the river the one way and Stanford town on the other, or just swim in the lazy, tranquil, inviting and safe river. We offer DStv, fans for summer, underfloor heating for winter, heated towel rails, pure cotton linen, swimming pool, use of canoes, and secure parking.

We are located next to Springfontein Wine Estate, open for tasting and sales, and within close proximity to the Walker Bay Nature Reserve and new fishing trail from where excellent fishing and whale watching can be enjoyed. Hermanus, famous for its whales, and Gansbaai, renowned for its great white shark tours and cage diving, are a short drive away, as are many places of interest and other activities such as 4x4 and quad biking trails, wine estates, horse riding, mountain biking, bird watching, hiking in the mountains and many excellent restaurants, not to mention Stanford's famous river tours on the Platanna or the African Queen. Stanford River Lodge does not have facilities for children under the age of 12.

28 May 2017

"I would like to have been made aware somehow, before booking, that my room was not facing the river. I would have considered upgrading to a room that had a view of the river."

"The mountain and river views from the bedroom"

27 March 2017

"We had a very comfortable stay. The room was rather small with only one inside chair so we had to sit on the bed. Other than that, the shower and cleanliness of the place was excellent."
"Perfect serenity!"

"Wonderful location to unwind"

02 March 2015

"My husband and I spent the weekend at Stanford River Lodge in the Fish Eagle suite and all I can say is that I wish our stay had been longer. The location and views of the river are magical, and being out of the main town, it's really peaceful and tranquil. Icould have stayed forever. Next time we will definitely take the opportunity to get out onto the river. Thank you Valda for a wonderful weekend."

"Stanford river Lodge"

"The guest house was very nice - well appointed and comfortable. It is situated out of town which means you have to drive in and out - gravel road after rains is a challenge. Hostess very pleasant. Staff very courteous."

"Bliss"

22 October 2013

"If you are considering Stanford River Lodge, don't think twice. We stayed three nights and it felt like an eternity in paradise. Absolute bliss to wake up with the Kleinrivier 50 m away from your door, 180 degree view of nature and birdsong surround sound. Very tasteful interior and super hosts. Perfect peace."

"Beautiful location"

"Lovely stay"

19 January 2013

"My husband and I stayed at the Stanford River Lodge for our anniversary. We had a peaceful, relaxed stay. There's a canoe to paddle down the river on and a nice swimming pool. The owners of the lodge were friendly and helpful. We would happily stay there again."
"Lovely site and friendly hosts"

17 March 2012

"I would have given it a full 5 stars (location, cleanliness, comfort) except for a few hiccups and slightly peculiar actions on the part of our otherwise friendly and pleasant hosts. Eg. gave us the wrong room till we pointed it out; no hot water for first 24 hrs - corrected when pointed out; recommending the less popular restaurant in Stanford while we saw them dining at the more popular; asking for full payment (I had paid the 50% deposit) BEFORE arrival but then backing down when I objected. Since they came across as friendly and efficient we were puzzled by these lapses. Hence 4 stars and not 5."
"A great getaway"

"John and Valda made us feel very welcome and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was a magnificent breakaway with beautiful surroundings and very clean, luxurious and comfortable accommodation. The accommodation unit was very well-equipped - it had everything we needed. Beautiful views of the river with a variety of bird species for bird lovers. Great value for money - we are definitely returning in the not too distant future!"
