  Although it was a brief weekend trip, I had a wonderful experience and Vineyards Views Country House and I could not recommend this accommodation highly enough.

  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.

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.

  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.

  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.

  You will not be dissapointed with the Vineyard Views. 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

  Vineyard views really offer a view on the vineyards.
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

  · Gareth was a consummate host. From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty. Canapés prepared in the kitchen served at 6 pm daily with wine from an... read more excellent selection. Gareth and Grant took the trouble to chat to us while we ate the delicious snacks. We felt like special guests welcomed into their beautiful home.
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

  I never read or leave reviews as I believe my experience will always differ from yours and I don't want to be swayed for or against a place.

However... read more there is a first for everything!

I don't generally book into a guesthouse as I am rather private and I don't like to feel like I am awkwardly positioned in someone else's home. But when you cross over the threshold of orchids, you are seamlessly absorbed into the home that is Vineyard Views. They have managed to get the perfect recipe for 5 star hotel and home. The warmth, grace, sophistication, quirk and charm are slowly injected into your body as you meander through the house unknowingly making it your own for the duration of your stay.

The Food.
There is a reason we as South Africans say we have the best food and wine in the world... the variety, the flavours, the calories and effort are noticeable and very much appreciated.
The Rooms.
Home away from Home. We had torrential rain for 3 days and it only made you feel the snugness of the home more, it was like being hugged by your favourite person.
The Team.
Vineyard Views should do a finishing school for anyone in the service industry. Hotels, Guesthouses, Airbnb's, Caravans, Spaceships.... wherever you lay your head.

I will always stay here when in Riebeek Kasteel, and if they are fully booked, I will change my plans accordingly.

  Our expectations were high due to what we had read and heard about Vineyard Views and yet they still managed to exceed our expectations. From arrival to departure everything was... read more top class. The friendliness of everyone; the room; the food and refreshments and the ambiance.
