“Cottage tranquillity.”
Our stay at Blaauw Cottage was outstanding from start to finish. The cottage is beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. I especially enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere, private pool, and indoor braai area. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into every detail of the property. The location is perfect. Close enough to walk to the restaurants, shops, and attractions in Riebeek-Kasteel, yet private and quiet enough to feel completely removed from the hustle and bustle. What stood out most was the hospitality. The hosts were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely committed to ensuring a great experience. I would highly recommend Blaauw Cottage to anyone visiting Riebeek-Kasteel. It is the kind of place where you immediately feel at home, and I will definitely be returning.

A lovely, homely stay at Blauww Cottage. Perfect for a weekend away with friends or a business trip with a colleague. The place was spotless; it had everything you could think of needing for a short or long stay. Philip, the host was very friendly & helpful.

Everything. This is a lovely property, all rooms ensuite (1 is separate to the main cottage but right there) Facilities were excellent, garden and pool very pretty. Check in and out super slick and the welcome sweet treat was delicious. Cannot recommend this more highly.

Philip's attention to detail and his generosity as our host was lovely. He traveled back to assist with keys after he had checked us in. Everything was beautiful and intentional. A beautiful property, met with warm hospitality and lovely owners. Thank you! ❤️

Beautiful accommodation in a sweet town. Everything was to a very high standard, providing spacious and comfortable rooms. The pool was much bigger than anticipated, lovely garden and ample seating.
