88 guests' feedbackBeautiful house, we had a great time - will definitely come again.
Chandelier in bedroom that is too low and the wood was wet, but for the rest the accommodation was perfect, with attention paid to small detail.
Delicious. Consider for family weekend because there is enough comfortable space.
Weekend getaway. Had a great time. Beautiful decor. Tidy. Clean. Safe. Arrangements for receiving keys great. Hostess very friendly.
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.
Welcoming ambience. Lovely flower garden and large outdoor tree-shaded area. Spacious lounge and patio. Sufficient shared kitchen facilities. Best for mid-week for couples as weekends are likely to get a bit crowded.
Peaceful atmosphere, nice to sit by the pool in the sun.
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.
We can't wait to visit Shades of Provence again!
Beautiful and clean, loved it and will stay with you again.
Short walk to the square, perfectly located. Lovely rooms and beautiful gardens.
Clean and neat. The position of the property is ideal as it is close to all the restaurants.
True French style. What you see is what you get.
Beautiful decor, well equipped rooms, kitchen and living area.
We stayed here for 3 nights and were very happy with everything. A gem of a place with all our needs catered for. The host was professional, friendly and accommodating. Can definitely recommend it.
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.
Ideal for 6 couples. Great location and everything you need. Definitely see us again.
Shades of Provence is a beautiful overnight guest house. The rooms were well equipped, except for one room where the air conditioner did not work, and there was no soap in the soap dispenser either.
Gina the manager is very friendly and helpful. Beautiful place with large rooms, very clean and luxurious. Beautiful surroundings with an awful lot to do.
Lavender room has a nice big bath, and shower which was deliciously refreshing. Very beautiful, peaceful and safe. Will stay there again and again.
Room was comfortable and lovely big bath definitely an asset.
We once again slept wonderfully, wonderfully with the bath available. Surely more attention can be paid to the curtain blind that hangs in the bathroom.
Couldn't chat via WhatsApp and hostess didn't answer my calls.
Would like to go there again.
See stars.
Friendly reception and nice braai area. Very convenient walking distance to explore the town.
The room was nice and spacious and so fantastically beautiful! They will definitely see us again in the future!
Very nice place with friendly people.
Gina was very helpful. The garden was beautiful. The recreation area next to the house is perfect with swimming pool. We will definitely stay there again!
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.
Little parking.
Beautiful rooms, lovely rainshower! Was under the impression that it was a B&B at first, but at the end of the day it wasn't a problem. Hope their pool is back up and running soon!
We were received with so much warmth and immediately felt at home. A real piece of French countryside.
Maybe just short of burglar bars on the windows.
I had a great time, watching TV, drinking coffee and had all the facilities to enjoy a quiet dinner. I slept well and felt safe. Value for money!
Wonderful, peaceful accommodation.
We were received very kindly. Decor of the whole house is beautiful. Calm and quiet.
Had a most enjoyable stay - rooms are perfect, with lounge and pool area fantastic to relax at. Also within easy walking distance to restaurants.
I will go back and the restaurants are also very nearby and good variety.
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.
Wow, what an incredibly beautiful place, stylishly furnished. I'm looking for that place with an aching heart! We had a great time staying there and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Especially that fireplace in the evening with the cold! Will definitely go back to Shades of Provence! Beautiful!
We stayed at Shades of Provence this past weekend as a large family group. It's a beautiful place, so well decorated with very friendly staff! Everything so neat and clean. The most beautiful combination of furniture, amenities, color and relaxation! My family and I would recommend the place anytime! Shades of Provence is definitely on my list for another visit to that part of our beautiful country! Shades of Provence gets 10 out of 10 from me!
Awesome, unique accommodation, tidy and everything you will need.
A beautiful place to stay in close proximity to shops and restaurants.
Very friendly reception. Everything was clean and neat and with such a lovely place you can only have a good time. Can definitely recommend it.
Great location, fantastic to go away with 2/3 families, just book the house, as it is awkward to have another couple there when you have 80% of the rooms! Must have been awful for them, although we restrained our teens to a side of the house.
Shades offer everything to travellers who want to relax and it felt like we were in another world.
The location is good. The area is peaceful. The guesthouse is clean and neat. The staff are helpful. Would definitely stay there again if ever we are in the area.
Was a pleasant visit, everything that's needed was there as well as a lovely area outside. A lot of space!
We had a nice stay. Als was pretty clean. The air conditioning and pool were a big plus for the summer.
Maybe the owner should be a little more hands on when it comes to her business, run by a lady who is not there all the time.
Signs of negligence outside and inside are clear. It seems like the owners don't really come there a lot to maintain the place.
I myself will not stay there again because the fact that one could hear every sound inside the house.
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!
Had a great time - beautiful garden, friendly service. Will definitely be back.
I really liked the place very private and romantic. Would definitely stay there again even if they were building there.
We had a great time, the place is neat and the people are friendly. Nice pool and braai facilities. You will definitely see us again.
What a lovely place, would definitely stay at Shades of Provence again.
What a gem! Fantastic for a group of 8 if you rent the entire house. So spacious, so neat, stunning decor. Feels like a home far away from the buzz. Definitely worth it.
It was very neat, relaxing and safe.
Very comfortable guesthouse, beautiful rooms. Very clean and neat. Would definitely visit again!
This guesthouse is perfectly located close to the main centre of town. We walked everywhere. It is beautifully decorated in a cottage style, the beds are comfortable and the rooms are clean. The town itself is an absolute delight! Full of quirky, eccentric places and people. We will definitely be back!
Even though we were unable to book the one half of the house for just ourselves, we still had a great stay at Shades of Provence! We shared with another lovely couple who seemed very kind and the owner of the home was very accommodating and gave us lovely tips for where to go for supper and breakfast in town. The rooms we booked were spacious and beautifully furnished. All in all, I would definitely recommend and I am going to look into booking the whole house some time for a family weekend away!
Rooms were tidy and there are lovely entertainment areas which made it worthwhile to return in the future.
See stars.
The house is very centrally located and the lady who receives you is friendly and helpful. The house was very tidy, bathrooms comfortable and beds of the best quality, but in my opinion too expensive. For that rate, breakfast should at least be included.
We were there on a weekend when the home owner wasn't in town, but everything went smoothly. The accommodation is well-equipped and the room we stayed in, the Olive Room, was beautiful. 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.
Stunning place in the middle of the pretty town. Very relaxing and nice with everything you need. Exactly what we needed.
This little house has everything you could need: a nice fireplace and a good fairy named Giena. Neat and clean. You don't want to leave. Central to visit a large part of the Western Cape, also with friends. Would definitely recommend and would happily use this house again.
Very welcoming. Clean and cosy. Fully equipped rooms and kitchen.
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.
A lovely overnight stop, well-equipped and very centrally located.
Merveilleux!
Love Shades of Provence. We would definitely like to go again. Riebeek Kasteel is the most beautiful village with the most delicious food at Mama Cucina.
Beautiful, well equipped, comfortable and tidy place with great service. The house and garden are beautiful and everything lends itself to a warm atmosphere where you can just have a good time. The house is very well equipped and tidy. Clara is such a pleasant person and went out of her way to make our time there unforgettable.
The host and wife are wonderful people. They made us feel very much at home. The rooms are particularly nice with air conditioning and a beautiful bathroom.
Shades of the Valley has everything one needs for a good weekend. The rooms are well equipped and there are full kitchens and braai areas for guests.
Anyone is welcome to stay here for an evening or weekend.
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.
Our experience was very pleasant. Clean, tidy and the towels nice and clean. Friendly reception and delicious breakfast!
Friendly people. Location good. Rooms clean and tidy.
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.
We were received very warmly and enjoyed our stay. They made an effort for our children.
Valerie, the hostess, made us feel very much at home and we will definitely visit again.
It was a lovely experience. Bed was very comfortable and breakfast even better. Bottomless coffee was a winner at breakfast!
