House was well equipped with everything we needed. Peaceful sleep in each room was even provided for the mosquitos. Kitchen was well equipped with excellent pans, knives etc. A cleaning lady was even provided every 3 days to tidy up and replace towels and pool towels! We loved the peace and quiet, relaxing by the pool on the loungers. At night we braai'd, enjoyed family dinners around the large table on the patio and watched movies together in the comfortable lounge. I was really impressed with the facilities and amenities, and Klaus was as always super helpful and friendly! Thank you for a superb holiday! Would love to come back.

Zaza South Africa

Location was perfect, cottage is very charming and Klaus is a fantastic host. My second stay, and will definitely stay there again in the future.

Johan South Africa

Lovely property close to town everything walkable. Would def come back.

Brucelowe South Africa

Such a nice and cosy house, great little pool too. Very clean and quiet. In a very central part of the little town.

Daniel South Africa

this was our 2nd stay here and we did enjoy every minute. The perfect place for us, when in Riebeek there`s no other place for us to stay

Angelika Germany

Awesome place! The pool was great! And its an absolute beaut

Catherine South Africa

Loved the simple functional layout of the house, the birds scuttling around the gorgeous indigenous garden, the pool, the outdoor dining area with its big table, the fan and the huge braai. The swallows nesting in the eves gave us endless entertainment. And the two bedrooms in the house were the same, so no tossing coins for the best one, both were great and they have fans which in the summer heat is a major upside.

Paxtwo South Africa

Beautifull cottage we enjoyed our stay so much! Owner very friendly and so helpfull

Karen South Africa

House interior was modern and was very clean. The garden was beautiful with lots of birds. The bathrooms were spacious with a separate toilet. Nice stoep and lekke braai area and outside tan beds next to swimmingpool

Carin South Africa

We liked the tranquility, time to ourselves was exactly what we needed. We loved the garden and cleanliness both inside and outside.

With its contemporary industrial design and low energy and water footprints, Blaauw is ideal for the modern discerning traveler.

I have relocated from the city of Johannesburg to this quaint village, and have not looked back! Come and experience the quiet village lifestyle and let me direct you to the quaint and hidden places the valley has to offer...

The quaint village of Riebeek Kasteel is nestled in the winelands of the Western Cape. Vineyards, olive and fruit orchards, and mountain landscapes make this the ideal getaway from the hustle of the city of Cape Town, less than an hour's drive away. Fine wineries, restaurants and art make this a destination to explore...
