  Exceptional

  A delightful, more than fully equipped cottage, awaited our arrival. We wanted for nothing, were extremely comfortable and our host Ina was the most wonderful, friendly person. We found home-made rusks, a lovely welcoming bottle of wine and so many other small and big touches which made our stay extremely special. There was a fire place inside which was more than comforting; an air conditioner if needed; a private pool for summer visits, a fire pit and a braai outside which again were private and secluded. Thank you once again Ina for making us feel so welcome and comfortable and for all your advice and knowledge of the surrounding area. We will certainly be back if we're in the area again.

  Nothing!

  Exceptional stay in Riebeek-Kasteel one bedroom cottage

  Very spacious and well-equipped one bedroom cottage with small details and touches that make a big impact. We loved our stay in one of our favourite towns. Ina is a lovely host and we highly recommend her place.

  It is a shame we did not use the private braai area due to the weather - we will simply have to book again!

  Thank you, Ina, for a wonderful stay! You were so welcoming and generous, and had thought of every detail. The cottage was perfect: comfortable, convenient, tidy, and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend this cottage.

  Exceptional and magical

  What a quaint and charming cottage. Private parking available inside the property. Cottage feels blissful and we did not want to venture out & about for too long. Luxurious, laidback and homey. Outdoor area with private braai. During Summer season the private pool would be fabulous. Yes, there’s even a private pool. We visited in Winter & the fireplace inside adds to the cosy feel. Almond cottage should definitely be on your must stay list, do not look further for an amazing haven, whenever you have the Riebeeck Valley on your travelling itinerary. The cottage is fully equipped, has amazing features. A bathroom to rival a Garden & Home-House & Leisure special feature. Deck chairs outside for leisure reading. Relaxing atmosphere with comfortable silence & charming bird song providing pure soul food. The hostess, Ina is a true gem and her genuine friendliness and heartfelt welcome, felt like meeting an old friend. She has carefully prepared the cottage, it even has an egg cooker. I would say her genuine hospitality and friendly nature will for sure be welcoming guests again and again.

  That we only booked a weekend 😄
