River Rabbit B&B and Restaurant is a quaint Karoo house with antique furniture and fittings situated in Richmond, a beautiful little town on the N1, halfway between Cape Town and Johannesburg.
The house can accommodate up to eight guests in total, in four large bedrooms. Two of the rooms each contain a double bed and an en-suite bathroom, while the other two rooms each contain twin single beds. These two rooms share a bathroom.
There is a large lounge with a fireplace for the cold winter nights. A self-service continental breakfast is provided every morning in the dining room. Across the street, you will find the River Rabbit Restaurant that serves the best breakfast, lunch and supper in town.
Snow is not unheard of during winter, while the summers can get really hot. The major draw card is without a doubt the tranquility, the open spaces and the effortless way of life.
"Maureen was waiting for us and showed us the room, she was an intelligent, well educated person. Chris was in Cape Town at his daughters wedding. Well I must say it was an eye opener, the restaurant, which I think would have been in the kitchen was closed, of course we helped ourselves to breakfast. Maureen did say that everything was antique, very much so certainly what we expected, there were holes in the ceiling and the shower quite laughable. When have you been to see the place, we certainly wont be going back. The bed was clean and comfortable."
"We had a very comfortable stay in this wonderful, old Karoo house. Pity we were pushed for time. Hope to be back to explore the town. Thank you, Chris."
"It was not what we expected. We left after 40 min – cannot believe I had to pay R500. What a shame.<br></br> <b>Establishment's response</b><br></br> <i>Saying “it is not what we expected†is hardly constructive criticism! Please let me know exactly what it was that you were unhappy about? Regards, Chris</i>"
"We really enjoyed our short stay at River Rabbit B&B! Chris Shelton ensures that you receive that "personal touch". Will return on our next trip through Richmond."
"Accommodation was average, did not feel the personal touch one would expect from a bed and breakfast. A big improvement would be to have someone onsite during breakfast, it adds to the interaction of a bed and breakfast."
"We enjoyed our stay and found it clean and comfortable, despite the initial hassels with the hot water. The access to the old LP records and record player provided lots of nostalgia."
