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!
