  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.

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.

  Our Time was short but perfect at Vineyard Views.
Mid Winter means cold and rain, but how fabulous it was to arrive in a cozy Home Hotel, where you immediately... read more feel relaxed. Welcomed by the ever attentive Gareth ,we were seated next to a roaring fire, in our socks, sipping Cappuccinos and enjoying Gareth's freshly baked Lemon drizzle cake...Just for us. We have traveled a bit in our lives, but when you find that balance of Home and hotel, you realize that THIS is what those Fancy Shmancy Hotels Miss ...A little bit of Love
Breakfast was a sunny morning affair with fresh flowers , views and breakfast courses from yummy fruit salads, beautifully presented, freshly baked breads and a cheese and meat platter for the extra hungry. YES everyone...this is the place to stay! More

  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.

  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.

  Our family spent a two-night stay at Vineyard Views for some much-needed R&R. It more than delivered. Gareth and Grant are consumate hosts, who go to great lengths to ensure... read more their guests' every comfort is taken care of.

Gareth’s breakfast was gourmet.

  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.

  Breakaway for my wife and I.
Exemplary attention to detail.
Small but great add-on's such as tea and cake upon arrival, and canapes before dinner, really put the finishing touches... read more to a fabulous venue.

  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. More

  What a real treat. My husband and I stayed two nights at Vineyard Views for our 15th wedding anniversary. Gareth and Grant were the perfect hosts and went out of... read more their way to make our weekend special. The attention to detail with everything was phenomenal. The rooms are beautifully done and very comfortable. The food was outstanding, from the little morning biscuit tin with coffee, three-course breakfasts, afternoon teas, three-course supper and a little surprise on your bed at night time (all homemade). 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.

  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.

  Great place, great hosts, great food. Everything was fabulous and really enjoyed our stay. Food excellent.
We had a short stay this time would like to stay longer next time... read more and spend a bit more time in the area.
The pool was nice as well as we had the whole place to ourselves.

  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

  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!

  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
