A great opportunity to experience a historic hotel with all the modern conveniences. The Royal is a beautiful, very well maintained hotel in the heart of Riebeek Kasteel. We stayed mid-week (as part of our first visit to the Swartland wine region) so it was relatively quiet. Staff were friendly and attentive yet professional, clearly taking pride in their work. We enjoyed drinks on the veranda in the afternoon and then a delicious well prepared evening meal there as well.

The place is just lovely, full of light, comfortable, and extremely clean. Every detail is just perfect.

The facilities are outstanding, like a bathtub, indoor and outdoor braai. The luxury toiletries and complimentary cookies and wine were very nice. We enjoyed the swimming pool. The wine tasting at the reception is very close and a great value for money. There is a nice walking trail on the farm.

We stayed in the new pool/garden rooms, which were spotless and well appointed, with a kitchenette, a sitting area and bath and very comfortable beds and plenty of good lighting. The main house is lovely, with a sitting room with a TV (Netflix) and an honesty bar available. Art work decorating the rooms is by local artists and available for purchase. Guests have access to a pool and lovely gardens on the grounds, plus off street parking. Stephan, one of the owners, greeted us and made us feel very welcome, providing helpful information about nearby restaurants and wine farms. Breakfast was delicious, a buffet for self service with a selection of juice, yogurts, granola, fresh fruit, cheese & meats, breads for toast and a Jura coffee machine, and/or hot breakfast made fresh from the kitchen. Due to load shedding excellent plunge pot coffee was offered in lieu of the coffee machine. The food was perfectly prepared and well-presented, with attention to detail not often seen in this type of accommodation. the Darling Lodge Guest House truly felt like an oasis and I recommend it highly to anyone traveling in the area!

This property is located on a prime position. The beautifull garden and pool and privacy was beyond expectation and we as a familly had a blast

Exceptionally lovely accommodation, very peaceful. Food quality excellent. Breakfasts were different, not your usual buffet fair and absolutely delicious. Again dinner was really good, a fixed menu but we didn’t have anything we didn’t thoroughly enjoy. The chefs do a really great job. Our trips out to view the reserve were very enjoyable, we hit a truly beautiful day so saw it at its best. Finally the staff couldn’t be faulted, what a team, they couldn’t do enough for us and everyone was so friendly and helpful

Everything Nature Space and cleanliness

Great location and all was perfect as usual, will come again.

Raptor Rise is in a very peaceful location with nice views of the mountains. The sunsets ere amazing. If you want to get away from it all this is the place. The room was very clean and bright. Everything you needed although a little compact. There are 3 or 4 wineries within a 5 minute drive and also a brewery/restaurant. Everything very handy if you don’t want to self cater. There is a small bbq outside each room and also a communal large kitchen area. There is a small swimming pool. The chickens are running round in the morning which is amusing.

Amazing hospitality they were so welcoming and helpful.

Amazing location, surroundings and venue.

Didnt have breakfast. The house was very clean and the views were fantastic.

Disa Cottage had absolutely everything you could possibly need. All you need to bring us food and clothes. The staff were fantastic, the whole experience was great.

The staff was friendly and very helpful. The cottage was cozy, and the fireplace was a bonus. The spa treatment was a bliss and we got more as expected.
