What a gem ! We spent only one night but loved the generous hospitality of hosts Gareth and Grant. The room was top class and the evening dinner... read more , provided on request, was an absolute bonus. Breakfast on the terrace was equally good, well presented and full of flavor.
Well done - hope to get back there soon

  Wow, what a spoil! Absolute beautiful and tasteful guesthouse with Gareth's exceptional hospitality. Location is perfect for a peaceful and relaxing stay with a stunning view of vineyards. Delicious cakes... read more for coffee/tea and canapes with drinks was an absolute treat. Would highly recommend it for more than one night's stay.

  Felt absolute treated! A truly relaxing spot with high attention to detail and comfort without ostentation. Grant and Gareth (who I think should own the title of the 'G force'... read more ) provide a carefully curated space on the edge of the town - there's an indigenous garden and beautiful open views across the valley from the deck. Scones and tea at 4 and canapés at 6 are exquisitely presented. The breakfast too is superb - enough to set one up for the day - so prepare to linger over it. As a vegetarian such offerings were particular and one morning included a delicious mushroom and truffle tart. Lovely room and comfortable bed with good linen. Highly recommended if you need a break from the rush of life.

  It is not just the vineyard views from all vantage points of the country house that makes one's stay memorable, but also the attention to all one's senses. The... read more room was well equipped and very comfortable. The smell and peacefulness experience of the fresh and clean countryside is amazing - with unending views of the vineyards and mountain ranges in the distance. Gareth and Grant, ably assisted by Eric, are excellent hosts. Breakfast, teas and canapés were to die for! We felt very privileged to have been able to spend a weekend at the country house and hope to return in the near future. More

  What a delight staying at this beautifully appointed and decorated guest house. A true Gem! Gareth and Grant are the perfect hosts and their attention to detail is... read more outstanding. The food, all made by the 2 of them is first class, so if they do offer dinner whilst you are staying there I suggest you book for it as it’s just divine. Thanks Gareth and Grant - we cannot wait to be back.

  If 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.

  Thank you Gareth and Grant for making our stay at your Country House so amazing. Your attention to detail and hospitality was so appreciated. You create an experience that is... read more beyond average. However besides all of that every bit of food from breakfast to afternoon tea with cake and early dinner canapés was delicious. So glad we found you.

  This Guesthouse is unbelievably beautiful. Gareth and Grant have made their guesthouse look and feel like a little Shangri-La for guests and looked after us so well.
What’s more... read more is Gareth and Grant can cook and with some forewarning you can request a dinner or lunch.
We enjoyed the most incredible dinner and breakfast in the morning was exceptional.
From the cleanliness, beauty and detailed experience we had.
I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else.

  There'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!

  A beautiful special guest house which makes you realize that Airbnb are not that much fun. The home was beautiful - lovely outdoor area with a pools and... read more views. Living room and dining room amazing. Our rooms were so comfortable with a fabulous bathroom. Just a very comfortable room and an amazing place to stay. The food we were served - orange drizzle cake for tea, and an amazing breakfast. Eating a whole loaf of milk bread after eggs, fruit and granola was not difficult. There were so many lovely touches - beautiful lamps, friendly dogs, great hosts, electric blankets are just a few things that make this place special. More

  We 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...
