From offering a safe luxurious place to isolate during these trying times to offering exquisite events from birthday parties to weddings, I must say River Meadow Manor is the perfect place to escape and unwind or to host the perfect event or conference.

Greeted by the friendliest and most courteous staff we received a warm welcome and speedy check in for our wonderful weekend stay.

We were booked in to a Luxury Suite that was adorned with the finest most luxurious finishings and fabrics, featuring a private patio that looked onto the beautiful formal gardens. The bedding was exquisite, comfortable and sumptuous. The coffee and tea station had received an upgrade and was a most welcome addition to the suite. Once unpacked we ventured to the pool for a spot of relaxation, a much needed refreshing drink and a little peace and quiet.

I must comment on the beautiful gardens that were a picture, perfect, and yes we spent the rest of the day mesmerised by the beauty of the arches and the greenery surrounding us. The gardens were well kept, completely abundant with stunning flora and  were beautifully maintained, which served as the perfect backdrop for pictures and content creation.

After a little downtime in our suite and a freshen up we were famished and looking forward to our dinner. We were served a delicious 3-course meal that was divine, my favourite of course was the dessert cheese board, that just simply melted my heart.  As it rained throughout the night we spent it chatting with the hotel staff. We sauntered back to our suite with contented hearts and full stomachs, totally satisfied.

Established in 1926 but currently under new management you can expect great things for the future of this wonderful place nestled in the heart of Centurion. Siyanda Dlamini the owner and celebrated hotelier has vast experience in the hotel industry and plans to establish a place where many can come to celebrate life or simply take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
