Rivertrees Country Inn

We had the most wonderful stay at Rivertrees Country Inn – it truly felt like a hidden gem nestled in nature. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, with beautiful grounds that offered just the right mix of adventure and tranquility.As a family travelling with a toddler, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect setting. Harrison absolutely loved exploring the gardens, spotting monkeys in the trees, and splashing around near the little stream. The staff were so warm and thoughtful – always ready with a smile and so kind to our little one.Our room was cosy, clean, and beautifully decorated – with plenty of space for Harrison to play and for us to relax. The food was delicious, and the outdoor dining under the stars made every meal feel special.We left feeling recharged and grateful – Rivertrees is more than just a place to stay; it’s a place to breathe, slow down, and connect. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended for families looking for a peaceful base in Arusha.

It is like an oasis and very tree lush. It is quiet and gives you a sense of peace and relaxation. The breakfast is really good and the bar area has a big tv for watching sports. It has a good vibe to it.

The hotel was amazing and the food was superb. I loved the ambiance and the decoration. I had a villa to myself and my sister. The villa was decorated using the local traditional items and was very beautiful. When i arrived, i was a little sad that I had to leave the next day. I wished that I had one more day to stay there. There were a lot of food and fruit options and is also child friendly. In the morning, the sound of the bird made me feel that i was in the middle of nature and it was the beautiful feeling.

I liked everything about this place. I just wish I had spent one more day there as i felt like i could not enjoy what it had to offer, to the fullest because of the early check out the next day.

Beautiful location, lovely staff and really good food. Could've stayed for many more nights.

We thought it was closer to Arusha but was maybe 40 minutes away ( our fault completely but it's not in Arusha if thats where you think you want to be)

I have visited over 100 different countries, therefore I have stayed at hundreds of different hotels, but I am going to tell you that this is one of a kind! Dont hesitate with booking it, trust me.The property is nested in a massive jungle type of a garden with a beautiful river and accomodation is in private cottages spreaded throughout the property, so you have a total privacy. Its quiet, serene.

The wifi could be better.

Loved everything! Super friendly staff, comfortable room, lovely park and food.Wished I could have stayed longer :)

The room was quiet and comfortable. I loved that there was a mosquito net even though the bugs weren’t very bad during my visit. I loved walking around the grounds looking for birds and monkeys. Get a neck/shoulder/back massage from Evelyn at the spa. She is amazing!The front desk staff was also very kind and allowed my travel companion and I to keep a room for a few hours after check-out since they weren’t busy and our flights weren’t until later.The food was also delicious (breakfast, lunch, and dinner).

Nice setting, staff etc. Excellent breakfast.

Appalling WiFi that didn’t work at all in the rooms and was at best poor in the restaurant and bar. At these prices you should expect better.

What a stunning place! Everything is beautiful and it's so peaceful. Loved watching the monkeys and exploring the river. The staff are very warm and friendly.

Good breakfast. Good menu for dinner, monkeys.

No air conditioning

The inn is tucked away in a peaceful spot but still conveniently close to Arusha and Kilimanjaro Airport. We utilised the Airport Shuttle service which made the transfer seamless. It’s was the ideal place to rest before heading out on safari. The gardens are amazing with their towering trees and flowing river, we managed to see monkeys just a short walk from our room. What really made a difference was the genuine hospitality of the staff. From the moment we arrived, I felt so warmly welcomed. The team goes above and beyond to make sure every guest feels at home, and they were always there to help with any requests. Our rooms were cozy and decorated with this colonial rustic charm but still has all the modern conveniences you need. We stayed in the Farm House made of up 4 self contained rooms, and waking up to the sounds of birds and the sight of lush greenery outside my window was incredibly peaceful. The food is freshly prepared and includes local dishes bursting with flavor. River Trees Country Inn was exactly what we needed to relax and recharge before our Tanzanian adventures, this place offers a beautiful, authentic experience that we'll always remember.

A little oasis! So peaceful and roomy with gardens, birds, playful monkeys. The rooms are spacious and clean. The friendly helpful staff are plentiful!

Nothing!

Nice spacious and well decorated room. Large bathroom. Nicole located cottages in the property park. Great breakfast with multiple choices.Friendly staff.

The grounds, landscaping and staying at River House with the river right outside the back porch was a pleasant experience.

The food was not good and for a place that was in such a nice setting not getting fresh and well cooked food was a big let down for my family and myslef.

I loved the grounds. The food was wonderful. Many of the staff were lovely.

I was made to change rooms after my first night. I expressed my feelings to stay in my current room, however I was told I had to move. I was moved to area that didn’t have as much shade and my room was much warmer making it uncomfortable. My ride from the airport to the resort was absolutely terrifying. The driver was weaving in and out of traffic and going to fast. I felt very unsafe. After the driver was hinting at a tip, which I found appalling.

This is my 3rd time at the Inn. I know the staff and they remember my name. The staff are professional and kind.I love the ambience in the restaurant and the food is excellent. Kudos to the chef!!I already have a booking for December!

I’ve never had an issue!

Staff very friendly and polite to requests. Very clean room and excellent service. Good restaurantGood base to Arusha, Moshi, various safari destinations. Good activities offered by the hotelBreakfast SUPERLATIV

All very nice:- To be improved at the restaurant the offer of typical dishes, and have more dishes (Main dish) - It would be nice if the pool stayed less in the shade

Location, cleanliness and pricing were all excellent compared to any other hotels in Arusha.

Swimming pool was not clean.

Serene accommodation surrounded by nature, a river and towering trees.

We had an excellent stay at Rivertrees and would love to return one day! Super friendly staff, amazingly beautiful garden, spacious cottage, and splendid service. The breakfast was great and the restaurant and the swimming pool were also very good. You may be lucky and see two species of primates peacefully foraging on top of the magnificent trees. Thank you for creating such a great time during the last days of our holiday!

The internet had some issues from time to time (especially in the cottage) but works generally well. The location is about 20km away from Arusha, so going to town might be slightly difficult and walking outside the premises is not recommended (but the garden is huge and even has a beautiful walking path along the river).
