Vineyard Views Country House
It Is The Perfect Escape
Set within a Colombard vineyard and bordering working wine farmlands, there could not be a more apt name for this splendid guest house offering.
Guest rooms or suites are individually decorated with original artworks mixed with a collection of antique and modern furnishings. All bedrooms and living areas have breath-taking views of the surrounding vineyards, farmlands and/or mountain ranges which include the Kasteelberg Mountains to the west and the Obiqua and Voëlvlei Mountains to the east.

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

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...

The rooms are beautifully done and very comfortable.

The stay was five stars while being comfortable and cosy. It is the most peaceful setting. Very close to all amenities and town. Gareth and Grant were very helpful with information and organising us dinners and outings. Thank you for an amazing stay. The town and wine farms around Riebeek Kasteel were great.

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 breakfasts were a highlight with different fare every day. Omelettes, mini-quiches and other hot egg-baked dishes. All mouth-watering .
For my birthday my daughter and son-in-law joined us for a specially catered lunch. Slow roasted Osso Buco was perfect. A lot of time and effort went into making the lunch memorable
Every room is furnished with treasures which must have been chosen with care over a long period. My wife, who gardens, marvelled at the garden the variety of plants and the beauty with which it was layed out.
A slice of heaven on earth. We hope to return soon
