Du Vlei

Warm, friendly greeting / beautiful setting / clean environment

Lovely place, warm and friendly hosts. Rooms cleaned daily. Perfectly hot water. Kettle and fridge an absolute plus. Will definitely go back. Lovely historic, country feel.

Very nice and relaxed atmosphere. We had a good rest.

Du Vlei is very close to Riebeek Kasteel and is a nice place that you can use as a base to explore the area.

Beautiful environment, excellent service.

Thank you Du Vlei for a wonderful weekend in your beautiful guest rooms. Everything was neat and clean, everything you could need was available in the communal kitchen. The restaurant serves delicious food. I would recommend anyone to relax at Du Vlei.

Baie rustig en stil.

'n Dubbelbed sal beslis werk, maar verder is alles in orde.

Lovely overnight stay. Rooms comfortable.

Lovely overnight stay. Comfortable rooms.

Neat, value for money accommodation with friendly reception.

Friendly reception, neat and clean, value for money, will stay there again. Place the "Peaceful Sleep" mosquito repellent in a more visible or prominent place. The next morning I discovered it in a bakkie on the windowsill after the mosquitoes had almost eaten me alive.

Very nice location and everything one needs.

All that is needed for a break-away. Very spacious and nice if you go in a group.

Perfect for weekend accommodation.

Small, but sufficient for short term stays. The second time we stayed there.

Rustic and clean but lacks hot water in shower.

Accommodation was basic and clean. Most of the reviews highlight the beautiful views of the valley and private stoeps with braai's but the Viognier and Cabernet units have no view at all and only a communal braai, this results in noise outside the unit and smoke coming into the windows. The biggest issue is the lack of hot water. Management is aware of the problem hence the notice on the bathroom door stating how to use the water but unfortunately when more than one unit is occupied, one gas geyser cannot supply hot water to the showers of the units simultaneously.

Excellent.

Lovely clean and neat accommodation.

Great accommodation.

We were welcomed in a friendly manner and enjoyed our stay even though for only 1 night. Great stay and will certainly return.

Pleasant, peaceful weekend, will go again.

Pleasant, friendly owners. Welcoming, clean swimming pool. Clean, tidy rooms with clean linen, towels included. Everything we needed was there. Unfortunately, both hot water taps at the wash basins were faulty, but Thereza confirmed that it would be repaired, gas shower working well. Maybe put other chairs outside on the sidewalk, as plastic chairs tend to slip on tiles? Book any planned visit to the padstal with its management as it is being rented. (We could not watch the rugby there because the padstal closes at 17:00 on Saturday afternoon). Due to the drought, fishing was impossible, too little water in the river.

We were a family of 4 adults.

We needed a place urgently and Du Vlei was affordable for 4 people at short notice. This was a great experience and will be keeping their contact for future getaway planning!

Stil en rustig!

Baie tevrede en sal definitief weer daar wil oorslaap.

Most beautiful view! Don't leave too quickly the morning after!

Bring milk along for the morning after and drink tea on the patio! Very affordable and neat, everything you need for a night after a wedding. Hostess very friendly and helpful.

As jy 5-ster verwag, bly dan by jou huis.

Veilig, redelik goed toegerus. Die gasvrou probeer om die tyd wat verby is, te skep en daarvan hou ek.

Goed, behalwe vir geraas van musiek tot laat Saterdagnag veroorsaak in naburige woonbuurt.

Sal aanbeveel, maar sal ook verkies dat die kombuis meer ruim sal wees met 'n beter voorkoms dat 'n mens nie voel of jy die skottelgoed eers moet was nie.

Wat 'n rustige atmosfeer met asemrowende uitsigte. Du Vlei is 'n perfekte wegbreekbestemming en boonop waarde vir geld.

Du Vlei is 'n perfekte wegbreekbestemming en boonop waarde vir geld. Alles word baie goed in stand gehou en die personeel is baie gasvry. Die bestemming is baie sentraal geleë en bied vele tyd verdrywe om te geniet, op die perseel sowel as in die onmiddellike omgewing.

Ons het 'n wonderlike tyd gehad.

Thereza die einaar het ons opgegradeer. Die Chalet was baie nice. Thereza was baie gasvry en vriendelik en sy het ons baie welkom laat voel. Sal altyd aanbeveel.

Verblyf goed, koffie te min.

Geen probleem met verblyf ondervind nie, sal gaste aanraai om hulle eie koffie te vat as hulle vir langer as een aand slaap. Ons het net koffie gekry vir een oggend en nie eers daaraan gedink om nog te vat nie, aangesien ander verblyfopsies altyd genoeg sakkies koffie verskaf vir die aande wat jy oorslaap. Sal weer daar gaan bly, nou weet ons darem vir volgende keer.

If first impressions are important to you, then we were impressed with the kind and friendly manner we were received.

On the map, Du Vlei, is pretty close to the main road but make no mistake - only the morning birds will wake you in the morning. The rooms were clean and functional. The view from the river bank over the vineyards and mountains on the other side is amazing - not many other guest houses around here have that. A great "home base" from where to explore the surrounding area.

Had a nice stay.

Nice, quiet area. Space to hang clothes was impractical!

Lekker eenvoudig en bekostigbaar.

Die diens was baie goed en baie vriendelik. Alles was 100%. Het die eenvoud en bekostigbaarheid waardeer. Mens soek nie altyd "fancy" duur plekke nie. Al klagte wat ek kan gee is dat die koffie en suiker pakkies nie heeltemal aanvaarbaar was nie. Daar was nie naasteby genoeg suiker in nie. Ons het eerder koffie gelos oor daar nie genoeg suiker was vir almal nie. Ons drink almal 2 suiker en daar was net 1 per persoon.

Peaceful farm life, comfortable accommodation for all the wedding venues in the area.

See the stars.

Very pleasant.

Something different from normal guesthouses, you really experience nature because it is located on a farm in incredibly beautiful surroundings. Rooms are very well furnished considering that it was old horse stable. Would definitely recommend for the nature lover.

Lovely accommodation for a quick getaway.

Very friendly service. Great stay!

Just what we needed.

Service was so friendly and we had a good night's rest and it was so peaceful.

Ongelooflike waarde vir geld!

Ideale basis om die omgewing te verken. Die terrein is pragtig versorg. En die lieflike swembad was 'n heerlike verrassing.

Very basic, but more than adequate as a budget accommodation option that is close to Riebeek-Kasteel & Riebeek-Wes.

See star rating.

Stunning place, so peaceful!

See the stars.

Food for the soul.

We will go back again anytime for quiet time.

Peaceful.

Nice stoep, friendly people, it was perfect.

Fantastic place.

Would like to say thank you so much for your great service and hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay at your establishment and would recommend you guys to anyone heading that way. Definitely be booking with you guys again!

It was good value for money and we had a great time.

The location and views were perfect. Very peaceful, and the farm stall was also convenient.

Good, clean and pretty accommodation.

The original arrangement was for one night for a couple, but then life happened and we took the kids and a friend with us. We were the only ones using the communal kitchen, because there were so few people. Because it is small we would visit again, but then book the unit along with the kitchen. From start to finish everything was excellent. Service, cleanliness, the people who booked us in. So nice to have experienced this. Thank you.

Beautiful place.

Excellent value for money.

Fantasties

Dit was kalmerend, heerlik en die gasvryheid was puik. Ek sal verseker weer gaan en ook ander aanbeveel.

Baie rustige omgewing.

Die persoon was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het 'n rustige aandjie gehad en heerlik gekuier op die stoep met die mooiste uitsig.

Als wat jy benodig op een plek met 'n mooi uitsig.

Dit was ons derde keer by Du Vlei en die eerste keer wat ons probleme gehad het met die fasiliteite. Daar het blykbaar 'n pyp gebars en dit was die rede dat ons nie water gehad het in ons huisie nie. Ek het vir Du Vlei 'n epos gestuur om te vra of ons ons deposito kan terugkry. Hulle het baie gou gereageer op die epos en het ons laat weet dat die eienares nie tans beskikbaar is nie, maar sodra sy terugkom sal sy ons kontak om die terugbetaling van die deposito te bespreek. Ek sal beslis weer teruggaan om daar te bly.

Lovely, neat and cosy (when the water works).

Pity about the room next door to us having a burst pipe, their room flooded. As all the rooms are connected with water, the water was shut off. This meant that none of us were able to shower or use the toilet. We had to leave early on Sunday morning to use the toilets at the nearby restaurant. Not being able to shower was also not very nice. Other than that, the location is great and they have friendly staff.

Dit was baie lekker. Ons is mal oor dié tipe ou plekke en geniet dit baie.

Die waaier was net stukkend. Verder was dit baie lekker en ons sal weer daar tuisgaan. Die omgewing is pragtig.

Gemak in die middel van 'n pragtige area.

Ons was ontvang met soveel gasvryheid en opregte plattelandse vriendskap. Ons kamer was perfek, skoon en vars. Die uitsig oor die berge met sonsondergang is iets uit 'n sprokiesverhaal. Wens ons kon langer kuier!

Baie mooi uitsig. Kombuisgeriewe bietjie beperk.

Aanwysings moet ook vanaf Malmesbury aangedui word as jy dus van teenoorgestelde kant af inkom by Riebeeck-Kasteel verby. Dit word slegs vanaf Hermon se kant deurgegee.

Was soos huis ver van die huis af.

Baie oulike plekkie. Die mense is baie gasvry.

Baie skoon, netjies en rustig.

Ons het lekker geswem en die rustigheid van die plaas geniet! Die huisie is skoon en netjies.

Ontspanne!

Dit was goed om op so kort kennisgewing plek te kry. Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang. Die tydjie daar was rustig.

Pragtige omgewing en wonderlike gasvrye verblyf!

Ons het die verblyf terdeë geniet en ons sal definitief weer terugkeer.

Warm, friendly, cosy and delicious food at the restaurant

See the ratings.

Goed!

Die plek was netjies en skoon, maar ons het nie te lekker geslaap nie, want daar was rotte of voëls in die dak wat erg geraas het. Dit het heelnag aangehou.

Sal Du Vlei met graagte weer besoek.

Pragtige uitsig en verblyf lekker ingerig.

Baie lekker geslaap!

Die uitsig buite is ongelooflik! Het mooi fotos geneem. Ons het nie gebraai nie, maar die braaiplek is lekker! Ovaalvormige sement blok, pak kampstoele om dit en braai lekker. Die eienaar, Theresa, as ek reg onthou, was baie vriendelik.

Was heerlik rustig en mooi netjies

Het dit baie geniet. Sal dit aanbeveel.

Tipiese ou plaashuis-gevoel.

Tuine was mooi en rustig met swembad.

Lekker op die plaas!

Heerlike oornagbestemming met al die nodige geriewe!

Baie aangenaam, 'n lekker plaas kuier.

Ons eenheid se privaatheid, geriewe, stoep, uitsig ens. was iets besonders. Die swembad was 'n verrassing in die hitte! Met alles meer as tevrede en baie geniet. Die woonstel was goed toegerus en niks het ontbreek nie. Die lekker braaihout, ys en ander ware op die perseel beskikbaar was gaaf! Die waaiers ens in die kamers was ook 'n gawe voordeel. (Dit was 'n warm naweek.) Die badkamers het dalk net oor die algemeen bietjie aandag nodig. Die stort se deur wil nie van binne toe nie!

Sal dit nie aanbeveel.

Dis baie duur vir wat dit bied. Ou beddegoed, harde handdoeke ens. Restaurant uit boonste rakke.

Rustige plaasatmosfeer.

Ons kon heerlik uitrus. Die eienaars is pragtige en vriendelike mense. Goed geleë om die Weskus en omliggende gebiede te besoek. Die restaurant het smaaklike etes en die personeel is ook baie vriendelik.

Theresa se ontvangs en behulpsaamheid was eersteklas.

Die area en fasiliteite was baie netjies.

Ons het net 'n oorslaapplek gesoek, maar 'n juweel ontdek.

Ons kom beslis weer!

Interessant!

Plaas en omgewing was 'n lekker ondervinding, die geskiedenis van die plaas asook die ou postal baie interessant gewees. Die beddens was ongelukkig 'n bietjie ongemaklik.

Dit was lekker, maar die prys was te veel vir die plek waarin ons gebly het.

Die plek was baie skoon en netjies, maar die prys was te duur. Met die krag af kon ons glad nie stort nie ...

Dit was baie lekker, miskien 'n klien bietjie ver uit die dorp self, maar baie rustig.

Sien die sterre hieronder.

Vir net een nag kon dit werk.

Johane van LekkeSlaap is een van die mees vriendelike en hulpvaardige persone waarmee ons op hierdie reis te doen gehad het.

Dit was baie aangenaam, het die rustugheid geniet. baie netjies.

Het baie gehou van ons bly plekkie (Grenache) baie gerieflik en netjies. Du Vlei het n rustige- en kalm atmosfeer. Sal baie graag n naweek wil oor bly in plaas van n nag. 10/10 vir DuVlei Lezaan Linee

Gerieflike verblyf!

Du Vlei is buite Riebeek Kasteel (so 7 km). Daar kan meer aandag gegee word aan algemene netheid en skoonheid. Verder is dit 'n gerieflike oorbly-fasiliteit.

Nice and clean,

Nice and clean, great views. Well worth it.

Dit was baie lekker gewees ... ek sal dit aanbeveel.

Lekker rustig en ontspanne!

Die verblyf was lekker. Dit was net baie klein en beknop gewees, maar seker voldoende.

Ons was 'n groep van vier enkellopendes en dus het ons vier enkelbeddens verlang. Ons is 'n groter kamer aangebied, maar kon dit ongelukkig nie neem nie, a.g.v. 'n dubbelbed. Verder was die verblyf knap en klein. 'n Biejtie meer spasie sou voldoende gewees het.

Very pleasant but the self catering designation needs to be looked at.

The setting, the friendliness and the accommodation are all great, but the rooms are listed as self catering and the smaller rooms don't have cooking facilities. So they are not self catering - they just have a kettle for making a cup of tea. I recommend that a small stove be placed in all the small rooms - a washing up facility could be provided outside so there wouldn't be a need for additional plumbing. Otherwise a good stay.

Rustig en gerieflik, met vriendelike ontvangs

Die verblyf by Du Vlei sluit alles in wat nodig is om gerieflik en lekker te oornag. Dit sal gaaf wees as daar meer kanale op televisie as net SABC 1, 2 en 3 is (miskien iets soos DStv compact?).
