Rustige plek met so baie om te besigtig in die omgewing.

Baie lekker gebly. Ongelukkig net vir 2 dae bespreek, sou graag langer wou bly.

Was heerlik.

Chandelier in slaapkamer wat te laag is en die hout was nat, maar vir die res was die verblyf perfek, met aandag gegee aan klein detail.

Enjoyed our mid-week breakaway.

Ek en my sussie het besluit om op 'n sloertoer te gaan om bietjie uit die stad te kom en het besluit om in Riebeek-Kasteel te vertoef. Shades of Provence se foto's was pragtig, maar dis nog mooier as jy daar aankom. Ons het heerlik geslaap en het alles gehad wat aan ons belowe is. Ons sal graag weer wil gaan kuier!

Ons het reelings getref met die eienaar. Sy was baie gaaf en het gesorg dat alles keurig en gerieflik is. Baie dankie vir die stukkie Frankryk. Shades of Provence was lieflik en beslis waarde vir geld.

My sister and I decided to go on a leisurely tour to get out of the city a bit and decided to stay in Riebeek-Kasteel. Shades of Provence's photos were beautiful, but it's even more beautiful when you get there. We slept great and had everything we were promised. We would love to visit again!

We made arrangements with the owner. She was very nice and made sure that everything was neat and comfortable. Thank you very much for the piece of France. Shades of Provence was lovely and definitely value for money.

What a gem!

Shades of Provence is a beautiful French-inspired guesthouse nestled in the heart of the charming Riebeek Kasteel. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a relaxed, warm, and homely atmosphere. Our host, Nikula, was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home throughout our stay. The guesthouse itself is impeccably decorated with a consistent French countryside theme that extends to every corner of the property. The attention to detail is evident, creating a cohesive and charming ambiance. Our rooms were tastefully adorned and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The smart TVs with streaming services, coffee stations, and luxurious bathrooms added an extra touch of convenience and indulgence. One of the highlights of our experience was the presence of burning wood fireplaces in the living areas. These fireplaces not only provide a cozy and comforting warmth but also complete the relaxed atmosphere that was so mindfully created. It was evident that the fireplaces were well-maintained, clean, and thoughtfully stocked, ensuring a delightful experience. Nikula's hospitality was exceptional. Prior to our arrival, she provided clear directions, and upon our arrival, she warmly greeted us and gave us a thorough tour of the rooms and the entire house. Her attention to detail and eagerness to ensure our comfort added a personal touch to our stay. The bathrooms, particularly the baths, were a true indulgence. Luxurious and well-appointed, they offered a tranquil escape for relaxation. Additionally, the guesthouse's new inverter system protected us from any potential disruptions due to load shedding, ensuring a seamless and uninterrupted stay. We would like to express our gratitude to the Shades of Provence team for providing us with an awesome stay. The guesthouse's attention to detail, warm hospitality, and luxurious amenities truly made our experience memorable. We highly recommend Shades of Provence to anyone seeking a picturesque and enchanting retreat in Riebeek Kasteel.

Bestuur was onbehulpsaam.

Die kamer wat ek bespreek het, is by my aankoms gesê dat ek nie die kamer kan kry nie, maar het die boonste kamer kry. Ek het verduidelik dat ek a.g.v. 'n besering moeilik trappe klim, dit is geïgnoreer. Die kamer het geen stoel of sitplek in nie en toe ek vra vir 'n stoel is ek meegedeel dat daar nie plek in die kamer is vir 'n stoel nie. By aankoms is daar ook 'n deposito van R500 vir my gevra en dis duidelik aan my gestel dat ek nie die perseel moet verlaat voor die kamer nie eers geïnspekteer is voor ek uitboek nie en dan kan ek my deposito ontvang.

Management was unhelpful.

The room I booked was told on arrival that I could not get the room but got the upper room. I explained that I an injury difficult to climb stairs, it was ignored. The room has no chair or seat in it and when I asked for a chair I was told that there was no room in the room for a chair. On arrival I was also asked for a deposit of R500 and it was clearly stated to me that I must not leave the premises until the room has been inspected before I check out and then I can receive my deposit.

Shades of Provence 's response

Beste Irene,

Ek is baie jammer om te hoor dat u ongelukkig is met die verblyf.

Met u aankoms het ek geoffer om u op te gegradeer na een van ons luukse kamers met ‘n groot bad en King size bed wat ‘n heelwat duurder kamer is teen geen ekstra koste nie. U het ingestem. Alhoewel u genoem het van ‘n besering het u die kamer aanvaar. Ons kamers se meubels is geplaas sodat dit die beste pas in elke kamer. Ons werk om dit so gerieflik moontlik vir gaste te maak. Die linne is Egyptian Cotton om daardie luukse gevoel te gee vir gaste en is baie duur om te vervang. Ons het al in die verlede gaste gehad wat die linne of ander items beskadig en vertrek sonder om enige iets te se. Ons moet ongelukkig ‘n deposito vra.

Baie dankie vir u terugvoer en ons werk daaraan om hierop te verbeter.

Shades of Provence is 'n pragtige oorslaap gastehuis. Die kamers was goed toegerus, behalwe een kamer waar die lugversorger nie gewerk het nie, en daar was ook nie seep in die seephouer nie.

Stukkie platteland.

Ons kamer, Wheat Fields, was ruim en netjies. Die ekstragroot bad was 'n bonus. Die handdoeke se kwaliteit het beter dae gesien en behoort vervang te word. Sweetener behoort by die koffie/tee gesit te word (nie net suiker) vir diabete. Twee klein botteltjies water en twee glase in die kamer sal ook goed wees. Die spreeus in die geut en dak het ons net voor 6am Sondagoggend wakker geraas. Verder het ons lekker gebly.

Piece of countryside.

Our room, Wheat Fields, was spacious and tidy. The extra large bath was a bonus. The quality of the towels has seen better days and should be replaced. Sweetener should be added to the coffee/tea (not just sugar) for diabetics. Two small bottles of water and two glasses in the room would also be good. The starlings in the gutter and roof woke us up just before 6am on Sunday morning. Other than that we had a nice stay.

Comfortable and affordable.

This is a very neat and quaint establishment, nicely located and quiet. the room was very clean and modern. the bed was extremely comfortable. My only comment would be that they should offer a breakfast, as the establishment they referred me to was still closed at 8h00, which is not great if you are there on business.

Verblyf was gerieflik, maar het nie heeltemal voldoen aan ons verwagtinge nie.

Tekens van verwaarlosing binne en buite is duidelik sigbaar. Dit blyk dat die eienaars min daar kom om na instandhouding te kyk.

Dear Betsie,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you did not fully enjoy our establishment. We spoke to our manager Gina and she said that you did not mention anything about your dissatisfaction. It is difficult to improve things in these situations. We go to the guest house at least twice a month to check that everything is running well. We live in Cape Town and have 3 young children, therefore, it is difficult to go there more often. Most feedback and reviews we get are positive, and we trust that Gina is doing a good job. The style of our guest house is shabby chic/ country, which means that it is not meant to look glossy and elegant. We do make sure, however, that everything is clean and functional.

Regards,
Clara

Dear Evelyn,

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review.

I am sorry that the noise you experienced upset your stay and I wish that you did not penalise us on all the other categories of the review. The score you gave us is significantly lower than the one we generally get, hence this has been a dilemma for us.

Out of hundreds of guests who have been with us in the last 3 years, nobody has every complained about the level of noise. Perhaps you're overly sensitive to noise, in which case taking a room in a guest house shared by other guests, could be problematic. You stayed with us on a Saturday night, which is generally our busiest night, so there is a chance that some of the guests made more noise than they should have. However, I'm afraid that is not something I can control. I have asked my manager if you mentioned this to her, as she could have asked guests to speaking in sorter voices, but she said that nothing was brought to her attention.

Once again, apologies for the inconvenience.

Regards,
Clara

When we arrived, the unit was not really ready. A large group had spent the night there the night before and they left the place very dirty. There was also some of their food in the fridge and that bothered me a bit.

Room right by front door and stairs where everyone walks by and makes noise.

Had to close my door, windows and curtains for privacy. Some of the other guests were noisy. The place does not lend itself to being rented out to different guests, but rather one large group of friends or family.

Beautiful house and garden, stunning decor, very comfortable bedrooms and clean bathrooms, enormous open-plan area downstairs with two lounges and two kitchens, spacious outdoor entertainment area. Ideal for a large group to take over the whole house if you want privacy. We loved relaxing on the shaded veranda and dipping in the pool. All in all our extended family had a fabulous stay!

Thank you for taking the time to write us this review! We are happy that you enjoyed your stay at our guest house. Regarding the price, a quick search would show you that we offer the same rates as similar places in Riebeek Kasteel. For lower rates, I doubt that you would get cleaning service for a self-catering establishment. You would also probably get a room much less private with direct access to the street.

Lieflike huis met alle geriewe en nog meer.

Ons was daar op 'n naweek toe die huiseienaar uitstedig was maar alles het glad verloop. Die verblyf is goed gemeubileer en die kamer waar ons was, die Olive room, was pragtig. Die huis bied twee leefareas met skuifdeure tussen in en twee kamers bo vir gaste aan elke kant. Die stoep en die swembadarea is goed toegerus met heerlike rusbanke en stoele. Daar is 'n braai-area met tafels vir gebruik. Ons het dit baie geniet.

The house has two living areas with sliding doors between the two rooms on the top floor for guests on each side. The patio and swimming pool area is nicely furnished with couches and chairs. There is a braai area with tables. We really enjoyed it.

Outstanding. Outstanding. Outstanding.

Thank you so much for an unforgettable stay at Shades of Provence last Friday. The place is gorgeous and even my other half was so impressed (and that does not happen every day). Then we had the pleasure of meeting your beautiful mom and your stunning mother-in-law, lovely 2 ladies. The lady that works there, unfortunately I did not get her name, really made us feel so at home. It was just a pity we did not meet you and your family, because after speaking to Margaret and Rosa (I think), it felt like we knew you as well. Thank you again for making your place available to us, I will definitely recommend it to everybody.

Ons het dit vreeslik geniet!

Pragtige, goed toegeruste, gemaklike en netjiese plek met puik diens. Die huis en tuin is pragtig en alles leen hom tot 'n warm atmosfeer waar mens net lekker kan kuier. Die huis is baie goed toegerus en netjies. Clara is so 'n aangename mens en het uit haar pad gegaan om ons tydjie daar onvergeetlik te maak.

Baie rustig en voel soos huis.

Ek wou graag ontbyt vir die prys ingesluit gehad het, maar het weer op webtuiste gaan kyk en sien dat ontbyt beskikbaar is. Voel dat dit duidelik moet aangedui word dat ontbyt nie beskikbaar is nie, aangesien die eienaar dit duidelik gestel het by aankoms dat daar nie ontbyt is nie alhoewel by voordeur ingang 'n B&B-bordjie is. Die plafon in die kamer is ook nie geverf nie en hulle is besig om daaraan te werk. Origens het ons baie lekker gebly.

Very peaceful and feels like home.

I would have liked to have breakfast included in the price, but checked the website again and saw that breakfast was available. Feel that it should be clearly indicated that breakfast is not available, as the owner made it clear on arrival that there is no breakfast although there is a B&B sign at the front door entrance. The ceiling in the room is also not painted and they are working on it. Origen we had a very nice stay.

Dear Yvonne,

Thank you for your review and I apologise for the delay of my response!

When you came to us, we had just taken over from the previous owners (just over a month prior) and we were told that they had switched to Self Catering in the beginning of the year, hence we understood that all websites listing the guest house had been updated. I apologise if you came across a site which hadn't. The sign on the house outside which says "Bed and Breakfast" also says "$2.00 per night". Generally guests understand that it is for decoration purposes only, just like the coffee sign inside the house which says "25c'. As you know, we don't charge for coffee. Finally, yes, the roof was faulty and it was fixed long time ago. In fact, the house house has been renovated and upgraded and it looks great! :o)

Kind regards,
Clara

Lekker bekostigbare verblyf!

Lekker geleë ook. Dankie! Ons het baie lekker gebly by Shades of the Valley. As ek net kan aanbeveel dat daar miskien 'n losstaande kas bo ingesit kan word sal dit goed wees. Die stort is ook baie oop, so 'n stortdeur wat dit bietjie meer beskerm sal goed wees. Verder was dit heel aangenaam.

Nice affordable accommodation!

Nice location too. Thank you! We had a great stay at Shades of the Valley. If I can only recommend that perhaps a separate cupboard can be inserted above that would be fine. The shower is also very open, so a shower door that protects it a bit more would be good. Other than that it was very pleasant.
