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.

For anyone staying in Riebeek Kasteel Vineyard Views is the only place to stay. Grant and Gareth are the most incredible host! We were surprised with the most scrumptious cake... read more and tea at 16hoo, followed by delicious canapés at 18h00. They shared their impeccably decorated home with us as if we were old friends. Vineyard Views is excellently located with breath taking views and manicured garden. Our room was large and so comfortable and the bathroom was stocked with luxurious soaps and creams. We had a fantastic stay and cant wait to go back. Thank you G&G
September 7, 2021We 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...

We arrived on Friday and after canapes next to the pool we set of to explore Riebeek Kasteel's First Friday event and had dinner in the dorp - great fun!

On Saturday night, they set a special table for two for us in the lounge in front of the fire and TV so that we could enjoy the rugby and dinner at the same time.
They have a generator, so there were no loadshedding interruptions.
Do yourselves a favour and treat yourselves by going to RK for a weekend and staying at Vineyard Views.
