The room was a decent size, and great to have a fridge. The linen, pillows etc was of a very high standard and we thought that this place was a great find. Highly recommend and excellent value.

Liz South Africa

The cottage was comfortable with a powerful fan to counteract the heat and within easy walking distance of the central village. It was also affordable and the hosts unobtrusive but friendly and available when necessary. It has wifi, which is useful, and access to services such as Netflix - if one feels like watching. The lovely pottery is much in evidence and added an "arty" atmosphere which I enjoyed. A pleasant stay in a charming and characterful village with a great outdoor theatre.

Penny South Africa

We had a great few days in Garth's guest room. A lovely, peaceful spot with every thing we needed. The pool was very much appreciated in the hot weather!

K United Kingdom

Garth is a phenomenal host. We were made to feel very welcomed and it was almost as if we were at home. Garth was always available for assistance and the added little extras were much appreciated. The room itself was very comfortable, clean, exceeded every expectation and I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for accommodation in Riebeek Kasteel.

Dillon South Africa

Amazing hospitality. Nothing was a problem for the host. Loved the fruit bowl in room and thoughtful gesture of water and cold drinks along with milk for morning tea was appreciated. Decor stunning and stay was the peace and quiet we were looking for. We will definitely be back - Jon & Joni Goetzsche

Joni South Africa

Quiet location right opposite the vineyards with beautiful views, with just a short walk to the centre of town. Well-equipped and very clean facilities. Garth is an excellent host and the little pottery gift was a very nice gesture. Excellent value for money, especially over the Christmas/New Year period. Will definitely return.

Cornelius South Africa

Our stay was pleasant. It is obvious that the host does everything in his ability to make the stay pleasant! Thank you so much for the little extras that was totally unexpected! The beds were excellent and we slept like babies!

Marinda South Africa

Friendly staff and beautiful views. Everything was good from the moment we arrived to the very last second. We have no complaints and will definitely be returning.

Anneke South Africa

The quiet and stillness. Listening to the birds. Being able to just relax.

Christopher South Africa

Garth was friendly and welcoming. The room was comfortable and clean with a good size bathroom and air conditioning. The free wifi was a nice plus. The property is well located and we could walk wherever we wanted to go, such as restaurants and shops.

Host Review Score 9.9

A quiet and secluded space surrounded by plants, with the sound of running water. Perched high on the hill it is still only a short walk into the village. A good place from which to base your explorations of the town and surrounding areas. An ideal crash pad if you're attending a function nearby! Please note this is a working pottery studio and consequently there are a lot of authentic touches - kilns, pots, buckets of clay and so on - please accept this as part of the experience!

A serious potter for over twenty years, I have also have been a schoolteacher, run a large business in Cape Town, and owned a farm in the Overberg. Currently I am involved in property. My interests are ceramics, photography, travel and sailing.

Riebeek Kasteel is one of the prettiest small towns in South Africa. It is easy to walk around the entire village in an hour or so. In the central area you will find the cafes and restaurants, the wine and deli and clothing and curio shops, and the art gallery. Many artists have settled in the town, and some of their studios can be visited. The climate is pleasant for most of the year, but can be seriously hot from December to February. It is an hour and fifteen minutes drive from Cape Town, close to all the wine routes in the Swartland and Boland areas.
