Apartment The Potter's House

42 Royal Street, 7307 Riebeek-Kasteel, South Africa –

Everything was wonderful. Maud (Garth's mom) was delightful and totally lovely to us the whole weekend. Would definitely go back.

Gayle, South Africa

Exceptional value for money, the Potter's House has everything one could need for a short stay. Clean, comfortable and spacious, and within easy walking distance of most restaurants.

Robyn, South Africa

Everything was excellent! Bonus was the wifi and nice cold water en cooldrink.

Marianne, South Africa

Different seating areas to keep out the sun as the day passed, very quiet and private. The bathroom was modern, overall superb value. Host friendly, but didn't intrude, thanks Garth.

Geoffrey, United Kingdom

Very friendly reception. Lovely outdoor braai with everything you could need. Lovely room and bathroom. Such a peaceful stay. Will definitely recommend The Potter’s House

Anshé, South Africa

Charming hosts, secure parking off road, short walk to shops, restaurants and interesting and scenic area.

Antony, Australia

Bed very comfy. Free cold drinks in the fridge. Small things but makes a HUGE difference.

Thea, South Africa

Wow! I can't believe what value for money you get here. The whole experience from communication with Garth and the hospitality of Maud was so pleasant and easy. The room was even better than expected, bathroom is big, beds are comfy. We really enjoyed our stay, pitty we only stayed 2nights over the weekend for a wedding. Definitely will come back again, hopefully a longer stay on our behalf. Lovely, thank you so much.

Caitlyn, South Africa

Friendly accommodating owner. Value for money stay.

Mark, South Africa

The entire experience was absolutely divine, from the tranquility and the beautiful views, to the braai area, fruit trees, water feature and beautiful pottery. The room and bathroom are beautifully deco'd and the special touches of fruit, water and soda were greatly appreciated. This will most definitely become a regular place for us to visit, especially on our anniversary Thank you for a wonderful visit :)

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.

The beds were really uncomfortable - felt like there were lumps and springs, so had a princess and the pea feeling when we slept. They could do with new mattresses so they are as comfy as the duvet and pillows.
The location was beautiful, offering a view of the mountains across the valley. Garth was an excellent host, and gifted us a small pot when we left. His garden is lovely!
