August 16, 2022We have been very fortuante to stay in some wonderful places over time and we've always enjoyed the variety our beautiful county offers. I personally don't like writing reviews... read more as I always think that everyone's experience is unique and therefore something they should take away with after their visit. However ... in this case, it's most probably a combination of wonderful hosts, the beautiful venue and a perfect night away during an insane year. Vineyard Views Country House is the perfect get away. Gareth and Grant are the hosts you want to have meet you.. Their home is beautiful and I always love getting ideas to take away to improve your own home - here there are lots. It's welcoming, open and you immediately feel that you can relax as the home is everything you want in your own home. If I could've removed the entrance hall chandelier cleveryly made out of glasses, I would be hanging from our entrance hall. Great food, avoid the cake as one piece makes you want more and then you delude yourself by asking for the recipe thinking that you'll make it yourself. Canape's later end a wonderful afternoon by the pool. The rooms are spacious with everything you need and what's nice is that you don't feel like you're in a hotel but rather visiting friends. Hosts also allow you to arrive back after too much wine and check that you're safely in...

November 29, 2020My husband and I spent 2 nights at Vineyard Views and let me tell you- it was AMAZING! The property and gardens are just beautiful!
Grant and Gareth... read more are the most gracious and generous hosts!
Top level, 5 star service, THANK YOU!
Please book dinner when you stay- what a treat! Scrumptious food, breakfast, evening canapes and afternoon tea and homemade cake!
We are dog lovers so meeting the 3 pups on property felt like home and they are the sweetest companions by the fireplace.
The rooms are decorated tastefully and offer luxurious comfort!
We had a room that overlooks the garden! Sitting in the mornings with Tea around the flowers are what dreams are made of! Tranquility!
It was my husbands birthday on our last day and at breakfast Grant and Gareth surprised him with a delicious Almond, lemon and citrus drizzle cake.
What a treat it was to take home with us and share with our family!
Thank you for the memory and for making us both feel special.
We will be back!!

The property is located minutes from the town center, beautifully decorated and comfortable throughout, from the lounge with fireplace, to outdoor deck, pool area... read more with beautiful views, to the bedroom and bathroom. One of the best night's sleeps in a long time!
Gareth is a flawless host. Attentive, engaging and able to pre-empt your every need. From arrival coffee and cake, to early evening drinks and canapés to the breakfast the next day, all absolutely delicious, ample and beautifully presented. It is rare to stay somewhere where you're made to feel totally spoiled the entire time. Highly recommended and we will most certainly be back! More
September 4, 2023If you are looking for a restful break away from the City it would be hard to beat Vineyard Views Country House in Riebeeck Kasteel. Our hosts Gareth and Grant... read more were special as was our accommodation. We requested our hosts to cater for a small dinner party for 4 people on our first night and were absolutly delighted with the event as were our guests. All the catering for that matter was excellent, from breakfasts to afternoon teas. Highly recommended - we will visit again next time we are in South Africa. We loved the dogs too.

From our very first communication with Gareth when making our booking and starting to organise our weekend we were so impressed with the team's professionalism, personal touch and attention to... read more detail. And our stay exceeded all our expectations. Gareth and Grant were excellent hosts and made us feel right at home. The room was absolutely beautiful and immaculate - as was the rest of the house - and lacked nothing. In addition to the stunning views and tranquil setting, the food was a definite highlight. Everything we enjoyed as part of the delectable 3-course breakfast, afternoon tea and canapés was out of this world - from the way the food was presented, to the incredible taste sensations, and even the quirky crockery on which it was served. Gareth and Grant's creativity and passion for high-quality food is very evident and made the experience even more enjoyable. Since we were celebrating our anniversary we opted to have dinner as well and Gareth and Grant made every effort to make it extra special for us - it was a meal we'll remember for a long time. We are already thinking up excuses for a return visit and would highly recommend Vineyard Views to anyone looking for an escape from city life that combines world-class accommodation and food with countryside hospitality.

Their hospitality is the best I have ever experienced and the attention to detail is this beautifully designed guesthouse extends from... read more every piece of decor, the crockery, furnishings right through to the homemade treats left in our rooms each evening. Waking up to the most spectacular views the area has, enjoying a homemade rusk and a cup of coffee outside is food for the soul. Gareth took care of our every need from ensuring we had dinner reservations to a drink in hand with canapes at the pool deck after arriving back from long work day. I could have stayed there another week! As for the breakfast - WOW - each part of the meal was homemade and their cullinary skills are phenomenal. I cannot wait to go back and would recommend for any one to make the trip out to the town just to experience staying at Vineyard Views Country House More
February 25, 2023There's honestly little more to say that hasn't already been written in the incredible reviews already submitted.
My wife and i spent two spectacular nights at Vineyard Views... read more for a weekend getaway in the beautiful Riebeek Valley.
Every detail is meticulously thought out and there is a genuine feeling of "Home" in a barefoot luxury setting amongst the vineyards. Gareth and Grant are absolutely incredible hosts and you are guaranteed to be looked after during your stay.
Highlights for us included afternoon tea and cake sitting pool side, enjoying the sounds of tranquillity followed later by delicious canapé’s, topped off with bubbly... to name a few.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable with all the amenities one would need.
There is also so much to do within the village and surrounds. There's an amazing Nursey near Riebeek Wes you have to visit and a wine tasting (and Pizza) at Kloovenberg Wine estate is a must! - Rugby fans... check it out, the rugby/family history of the Du Toit family is all on display and is fascinating.
Also be sure to stop by 8-feet village, it's rather special.
There is so much more i would like to write but instead i urge you to just scroll through the many amazing reviews and book without hesitation.
THANK YOU to Gareth and Grant. We will absolutely be back!

The hous is situated at the end of Main Street, with a parking place in front of the house.
The room... read more ( we had an upgrade - thanks) was great, direct exit to a terrace). It is beautifully furnished, has everything you might need.
Breakfast was great - fresh fruit, yoghurt, homemade granola, tea/coffee - and the special of the day, personally prepared by Gareth.
Already in the morning he would bake a cake, to be served in the afternoon, followed by some canapees in the late afternoon. Delicious.
Both Gareth and Grant were very helpful as to recommending restaurants (and making the reservations) and gibing tips for excursions (by the way - the winery Alles Verloren is just a few kilometers away).
We really enjoyed the two nights there and thing, it may be worth while to return on our next trip. More
