What can I say? Location was excellent, the aircon worked, delicious restaurants nearby. We particularly loved the old world feel of the garden and room design. Quirky but fully functional. A good choice!

Spent one night at Rijks Hotel and Wine Estate. The reception was great with friendly staff. Beautiful room - clean and neat with everything required for an overnight stay. The view is breathtaking with a sunset that cannot be beaten. Enjoyed both lunch and dinner at the hotel along with wines from the estate. Can highly recommend this as a stop over!

Waste of Time & Money

All I can say is stay away !!!!! We booked directly with the establishment 3 weeks in advance, paid and got confirmation. We then drove all the way from Cape Town to Tulbagh only to be told when we got there that our room was not available and never was.....this after they even phoned us on the day to ask what time we would be arriving. We were offered a different room but could not use it as I am disabled.....which they knew about as they were advised of that fact when we booked and that is obviously the exact reason we booked a disabled-friendly room. We got excuses and were blatantly lied to.....and have yet to receive an apology or refund.

Great accommodation to explore Tulbagh

Reviewed By Estelle_C1

Our 3 nights at Wittedrift were an amazing experience in every respect - not only the accommodation in a big Manor House, with a rich history (initially built as a workaround for a family with a young child who did not want to go to boarding school), but also the personalities involved in the management and working in the guesthouse, as well as all the activities available in the Tulbagh area - it was a 3-day feast of olive, wine & MCC tasting, as well as delicious food in venues like the Tulbagh Hotel and Readers Restaurant & Grill in Church Street - Carol Collins, a connoisseur in the kitchen, owns Readers & manages Wittedrift so you really have the best of both worlds, including access to all the information about the valley - she not only provides an excellent breakfast but can entertain you with her stories of life in the village over many years. The staff did their utmost to minimise the effects of load-shedding during our stay, including setting a table for dinner at the fire in the lounge and providing lots of rechargeable LED lanterns on our last night when the lights were due to go off at 20h00. Thank you very much, Carol, Dorothy & the other lady and gentlemen on the staff.

A special place

Reviewed By Simon B

We stayed here for 2 nights. The cottage was perfect and the views fantastic. Shane and Lindy were so welcoming and we had the best ever sharing plate on our second night - a real work of art! Caroline in the booking office was very caring - we had to move our stay several times due to Covid and she handled this so well. Probably best to have a car when staying here.

Manley Wine Estate

Manley Wine Estate is a boutique wine lodge and private cellar with luxury bed and breakfast accommodation, self-catering cottages, and a wedding chapel and beautiful function venue with a unique character. Manley is situated in the beautiful countryside of the small town Tulbagh, only a 90-minute drive from Cape Town CBD, and is surrounded by majestic mountain views, sweeping vineyards, and beautiful farmlands. The lodge itself is located towards Winterhoek only 1.3 km outside the historic Tulbagh town center, famous for its museums, unique earthquake history, and many different cultural activities. A short walk across the lawns from the thatch roof Manor House, in which the reception and dining areas are situated, we have seven large double bed and breakfast rooms which are arranged around a shaded courtyard adjacent to the pool. We also have two linked self-catering thatched cottages which are nestled beside the water at the end of the property. Each cottage can accommodate four persons and is ideal for small families. All our rooms are equipped with a private en-suite bathroom, DSTV (satellite TV) with ample available channels to select from, air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, mini-fridges, built-in safes, and WIFI internet access. Most of our rooms also have their own fireplaces, making them especially cozy in winter, when we have been known to get a dusting of snow on the mountains. Breakfast is included in the cost of your stay if you book one of our double guest rooms. Breakfast is unfortunately not included with the self-catering cottages but can be added on by prior arrangement at an additional cost per person. The on-site eatery caters to guests’ breakfasts and other meal requirements, and the premises has a large outdoor swimming pool and a communal thatched Lapa with a large braai (barbecue) area.

Peace and Nature

Reviewed By trippingferret

We have just spent a lovely weekend at Oudekloof. Arrived on a very hot Saturday in time to enjoy pizza and wine on the terrace, then settled into one of the charming cottages beside the main house. Christine was a great host, and as the cottage pool was not ready, invited us to share their pool, overlooking the beautiful Tulbargh valley. Next morning, on an even hotter day, we followed her directions to walk up the hillside to the old cannon and to the viewpoint on the next rise. Lunch at the amazing Obiqua cafe just down the road. A totally relaxing place to stay, well situated for getting the most from this tranquil valley. PS - the wine tasting is excellent!
