“Nice, but not fabulous.”
The kitchen is dreadfully designed and impractical. it looks great, but doesn't work. The space is too narrow to cook in, cupboards don't close because plates are too big, I fell over the dishwasher when I was loading it.

“A very happy and comfortable stay in this lovely home.”
The location was amazing and in walking distance to everything in the town. There is a restaurant and coffee shop right next door. Very well set back from the road so extremely peaceful. It has a wonderful patio for relaxing and braaing with a built in exterior fireplace. Indoors there is aircon in the communal spaces for the heat, and a great big indoor fireplace for colder days. It is comfortably and tastefully furnished. Upstairs there is a nice lounge/ landing area which is another place to relax or where children can hang out. The house is well equipped.

“A relaxing 2 days, sampling delicious wines and food and enjoying lovely walks.”
The house was lovely and spacious, beautifully appointed and the aircon was a real blessing as it was very hot. The location is perfect, within a short walking distance from all the shops and restaurants. The host was exceptionally helpful and responded very promptly to any questions.

“Perfect spot for two or even 3 families sharing! Comfortable house with big outdoor space! Loved it.”
The location for Riebeek Kasteel is awesome, you are right by the best coffee in town and all the lovely restaurants. The rooms are all comfortable and beautiful, and for winter the wall heaters and fireplace were awesome! Kitchen is well equipped and house overall very comfortable. Our hostess was amazing, so helpful.

A beautiful home with quality finishes , comfort and relaxation in mind. In a peaceful part of this delightful village but a stroll away. from lovely shops and restaurants. Very spacious home and a lovely covered "stoep" to enjoy breakfasts ,evening drinks or just to relax. A must for any traveller to spend a few nights.
