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. So glad we found you.

  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

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!

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.

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

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

  We have been very fortuante to stay in some wonderful places over time and we've always enjoyed the variety our beautiful county offers.
