Super comfortable and gorgeous.

It was fabulous. Lynn, our gracious hostess, is extremely obliging and hospitable. We loved the warmly decorated cottage, wood fire, fully equipped kitchen, warm and cozy linen, exquisite garden (alumnus passion), and a beautiful pool. So close to town - walking distance. Thank you, Lynn.

Ons het baie lekker in die swembad gekuier en het die plekkie so geniet.

Dit was verskriklik lekker, het my trou in Riebeek-Kasteel gehou en het reggemaak by Obiekwa, dit het die beste fotos geneem.

Perfect hideaway for a quick New Year's trip with some friends.

The pool was perfect for the hot summer days and the bedrooms were equipped with fans. We had a good breakfast at DeliCo nearby after we left .

Lieflike wegbreek in die prentjiemooi Swartland.

Wat 'n plesier dit was om by Obiekwa te kon bly! Netjies, gerieflik, mooi uitsigte en het die swembad ook baie geniet. A home not far from home! Ons sal definitief weer kom kuier!

Fun stay.

The host is wonderful. She was easy to reach, and her proximity to the house made communication easy, although you would not know she is there. The fans helped in the hot weather, and the pool was a definite winner with the family.

Relaxing weekend retreat.

Spacious accommodation with a lovely garden and pool. Enjoyed the big verandah where one can relax and eat meals. The only problem was a faulty remote switch for one of the ceiling light/fans, and another bathroom had a flickering globe. We advised the owner who lives in an adjacent cottage on site. Unfortunately, the remote was not something she could fix. The location is perfect for walking into town where there are lots of interesting shops and restaurants to explore. A great place for a weekend getaway.

Obiekwa Country House 's response

The remote was fixed the next day and the globe was replaced.

Delightful stay, lovely house with large rooms, a wonderful braai area and lovely views.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Obiekwa Country House. Lynn was very helpful and the house was perfect for our needs with an en-suite bathroom for every bedroom. A gas cylinder and battery operated lights were available for the load shedding hours which was appreciated. We loved spending time in the covered braai area which had a huge table with a beautiful view. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Obiekwa is mooier as wat die foto's wys - ons het heerlik gekuier en Lynne was 'n absolute fantastiese gasvrou.

Die swembad was heerlik & skoon, jy kan nie meer vra van 'n braai & kuier area nie. Plus elke kamer het sy eie badkamer. Ons sal verseker weer kom kuier!

Lekker kuierhuis.

Die huis het 'n plaasgevoel en baie lekker stoep met 'n braai-area. Die tuin is pragtig en die kamers baie gerieflik. Riebeeck Kasteel het baie lekker eet- en kuierplekke om te geniet.

Rustige omgewing, lekker kuierstoep en swembad.

Groot genoeg vir mense wat lekker saam kan kuier, kamers is ruim met badkamers. Onderdakstoep met genoeg spasie vir almal wat oor die mooi tuin uitkyk met 'n lekker swembad net om die draai.

Dit was 'n heerlike naweek by Obiekwa. Heerlike ligging en veilig. Naby aan middedorp.

Die gastehuis was baie lekker behalwe dat ons gesukkel het met warm water. Die breekware in die kombuis was nie skoon nie en ons moes alles oorwas. Daar kort ook vleisbak en nuwe messegoed. Geen steakmesse. Verder was alles great.

It was a lovely weekend at Obiekwa. Great location and safe. Close to town center.

The guest house was very nice except that we struggled with hot water. The crockery in the kitchen was not clean and we had to wash everything over. There is also a need for a meat tray and new cutlery. No steak knives. Everything else was great.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Alles was perfek vir wat ons wou gehad het.

Mooi huis. Netjies en skoon. Genoeg spasie. Binnenshuise versiering baie goed gedoen. Al wat gekort het was 'n braaivleisbak (om vleis in af te haal na braai) en moontlik meer teelepels. Daar was net 4 in die kombuis. Verder was alles 100%. Baie dankie!

Beautiful house. Neat and clean. Ample space. Interior deco very tasteful. The only thing lacking was a dish in which you can put the braai meat after a braai, and possible also more teaspoons. There were only 4 in the kitchen. Apart from that everything was 100%. Thank you!

Rustig en ontspanne.

Daar is 2 kleinerige bome wat die uitsig belemmer na die wingerde. Daar is koffie en tee en suiker maar geen melk?! Daar is geen kragprop in die badkamer nie. Dalk 'n spieël naby 'n muurprop om hare te blaas. Die groot dik kombers in die kas was nie skoon en vars nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Calm and relaxed.

There are 2 small trees that obstruct the view to the vineyards. There is coffee and tea and sugar but no milk?! There is no power plug in the bathroom. Maybe a mirror near a wall plug to blow hair. The big thick blanket in the closet was not clean and fresh.

Dankie vir u terugvoering oor Obiekwa Country House. Ons waardeer ditb en sal aksie neem in verband met die punte genoem in verband met die kombers en spieel. Ons kan ongelukkig nie die bome op die aanliggende perseel afkap nie. Ons is bekommerd dat kragproppe in die badkamer onveilig is. Country House is self-bediening, gaste moet asb hulle eie melk saambring. Beste wense Kent
