105 guests' feedbackWe loved it, we're definitely going back there again. Very nice friendly people.
Lovely place. The host is excellent.
Always best service and dinner. You pay extra for dinner but it is top notch. The dinner is made fresh every night.
Friendly host and hostess, and very tasty breakfast!
Friendly helpful host. Neat clean guest room. Delicious breakfast every morning.
What more can I say? Food from the upper seats, nice pool and very nice breakfast.
Peaceful sleep. I enjoyed the cookies. Lovely cat.
Very friendly people. Breakfast very nice. Comfortable rooms with braai facilities and swimming pool.
Very nice, thank you. Swimming pool some attention please.
The delicious breakfast was a bonus.
The stay at The Vinelands on Alpha was perfect for my needs. All you need for a one-night layover and a very friendly owner.
Very friendly owner. Perfect room and quiet area. Extremely clean.
Spacious rooms, delicious breakfast, friendly reception, ideally located and definitely value for money.
Stay was great. Neat, comfortable and excellent service.
Phillip made us feel very welcome. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was also very friendly. The room was spacious and clean. The guest house is also nicely centrally located.
We would advise any person to stay there for a holiday or overnight.
I will stay there in the future should accommodation be available. My type of people.
Nice and enjoyable, relaxing and a morning to look forward to. Breakfast is great.
Friendly reception, peaceful atmosphere, delicious night's rest and excellent breakfast! Will definitely stay there again!
The host was very kind and made everyone feel welcome.
See stars.
Don't really want to sound too good. This may result in a price increase.
Just marvelous, peaceful, enjoyable, friendly staff.
Nice stay, rooms very nice and clean.
Phillip is awesome! Thanks so much!
This is our 2nd time staying at The Vinelands on Alpha and if the opportunity arises again I will stay there again.
The room was clean however bathrooms showed signs of mildew. Rooms have been built and designed on a low budget.
The guesthouse is clean and acceptable. Owner very focused on service. Breakfast is also very nice.
No customer support. Room and key were shown to us and given by cleaner. No explanation of what time and where breakfast is served. The pool was dirty and small children were shouting and making noise at the pool all afternoon and early morning.
Peaceful, quiet area. Room very neat and clean. Delicious breakfast.
I had a great time staying here, the accommodation is clean and tidy and the breakfast is delicious.
From the moment we arrived, Phillip, the owner looked after us without violating our privacy. Our room was clean, tidy and everything we needed was there. Top notch breakfast and dinner on request was excellent and the portions were more than ample, all prepared by Phillip. We would definitely stay at Vinelands again.
We will definitely stay there again. The people are friendly, food from the books and place tidy. Peaceful, quiet and safe.
If the children play sports in the Cape, The Vinelands on Alpha is first on our list, very well located. Delicious breakfast, just what you need to start the day more. Will definitely recommend.
We were 3 friends. The en-suite rooms were very private with a shared lounge. We had a nice time and the breakfast was of the above quality. Phillip and his team received us hospitably and treated us that way all week. We will stay there again if we need to go in that direction again.
Very neat and comfortable. Well located. Friendly and helpful host.
Very pleasant, friendly owner, convenient place, very centrally located near airport, all the hospitals. Experienced very good service.
Close to Cape Town and the airport, value for money.
Was comfortable. Everything perfect.
Thank you very much for friendly service.
Excellent host. Excellent food. Excellent venue. Phillip is a true and excellent host. I/ we recommend the Vinelands on Alpha to any person, family and business.
Nice breakfast, friendly reception.
Slept well, bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean.
Philip is a host who cares about his guests. This is our second visit this year at Vinelands on Alpha and I would stay there again anytime. Phillip's breakfast, which he prepares himself, shows passion and care. Every morning there is a different surprise with breakfast from muffins to waffles. Wow, it was nice to be able to visit there again. Thank you very much Philip.
I have stayed here at The Vinelands on Alpha before for business stays. Phillip is a fantastic person and makes you feel absolutely at home. Will definitely stay there again when in the Brackenfell area.
Phillip very friendly and helpful.
Very good location, very friendly and value for money.
Will definitely stay at Vinelands on Alpha again. Karoo greetings.
Nice stay, friendly staff.
Very friendly owner and staff.
Thank you for a lovely evening. Clean and tidy. Value for money. Delicious breakfast.
The entire interior of the place is painted dark brown. Make it very dark. Must keep lights on all day. Towels and bed linen nice clean and good quality and bathroom neatly redone. However, the white painted furniture is full of fingerprints and the bathroom door is too small for the doorway. When we got in just after 2pm, we were told it was too late to book dinner. It was a shame because this is the reason we chose The Vinelands. You may also not check in before 2:00 p.m.
Lovely facility. Lovely host. Close to all major routes. Safe area.
The owner was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Lovely breakfast every morning and a nice place to rest every night. We would not think twice to book again.
The owner was very pleasant and waited for me until late. The service and food were excellent.
We had to share a bathroom, the bed was not comfortable at all, the windowsills of the room were full of dust, the shelves of the cupboards were very roughly finished, clothes were wrinkled, our low-class guesthouses in Gauteng offer more for much less.
Good accommodation in a fairly quiet area. And a friendly host. Ideal for passing through (for myself really just a place to sleep) or people who want to stay longer.
It is such a beautiful house, but unfortunately it is not properly maintained - especially in terms of the requirements of a guesthouse. The house and guest rooms smell like smoke. The morning with breakfast I was really not fond of the food because the smell of cigarette smoke hung heavily in the breakfast room. Will certainly not use the place again and will not recommend it to anyone.
Very nice stay. You feel like family here.
Everything was very pleasant. Rooms clean and nice. Friendly staff and the best breakfast. We will definitely stay there again and recommend it. The little apartment was the neighbors a bit noisy.
Value for money. As a senior lady alone very reassuring to know I am safe and my car was safe. Will definitely want to stay there again if my budget allows. If I may suggest that if guests need to book for supper that guests request it in writing.
The Vinelands on Alpha's self-catering unit offers a very safe resting place for travellers. The decor is not modern, but we slept very well. It is a convenient location for exploring Cape Town and the surrounding area.
Located close to airport and N1 motorway. Centrally located for several suburbs in the area.
Can be recommended. No further comment.
Very neat, good service. Clean room, delicious breakfast.
We enjoyed wonderful accommodation at The Vinelands. Our room was equipped with everything we needed, even a heater and hairdryer. The breakfast was absolutely amazing. We were very impressed. The building needs a bit of maintainance, but we can definitely recommend the guesthouse.
We felt safe and the place was tidy. The photo is just misleading, because we were under the impression that this is what the place where we are going to stay looks like. That's exactly why we chose The Vinelands on Alpha. We could have booked a place for R50 cheaper per night, which looks IDENTICAL to the place we stayed in, and had we known this in advance, we would have chosen the other place and saved R200.
We were very grateful that the owner kept the iPad our kids forgot in the flat. We weren't so impressed with the flat we had to stay in though. Would much rather have stayed in the guesthouse. Unfortunately that part was overlooked when we booked. The apartment was clean and neat, but really didn't like the area.
Owner is exceptionally hospitable and gave clear directions to destinations. Good, tasty breakfast. Air conditioning in room a bonus. I would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area.
A truly enjoyable experience. The service was incredible, the room spacious and perfectly furnished and the breakfast a feast. I can definitely recommend it.
Would stay there again anytime, friendly service and the best breakfast.
Nice breakfast and good hospitality.
Very safe, nice and clean. The food was delicious, as was the hospitality of the owner. Already spread the word among my friends.
The breakfast was excellent.
Thank you very much Phillip for your hospitality. The breakfast was our highlight every morning. Thanks for the great service. We will definitely see you again.
VERY good value for money. We really enjoyed our stay at The Vinelands on Alpha. It offers very good value for money and is clean and tidy with nice finishes and a warm host!
My personal reason for No is the following: Although everything was very tidy, the smell of cigarette smoke hung strongly in the air as well as on the towels and bedding. For someone who doesn't smoke, and has asthma, it was a challenge. After 3 days my clothes started to smell like cigarette smoke. I then asked to be moved to a room outside the house. It was slightly better but the bedding and towels still didn't smell fresh. Can I remain anonymous please? Thank you very much. I was forced to stay in a guest house due to renovation work on my apartment.
The service and facilities were adequate, but I could not understand the smoke in the lounge area. It seeps into the reception and kitchen and I'm allergic. Can't imagine people with kids staying there.
Good location, comfortable and nice breakfast. Room smells musty and house smells like smoke.
Not bad. Dissapointed that there was no tea in the room. Power tripped when the kettle was switched on and was off for about 25 mins. Phillip said he forgot to put petrol in the generator. Not good!
We did not get the room we asked for. The road is very noisy, maybe we from the countryside are just more used to silence! The breakfast was very good.
Neat, clean, well located and the food is of the highest quality. I never sleep in a strange place, but here felt like in my own bed!
Will definitely recommend and use this guest house in the future.
People can go out with peace of mind at "The Vinelands on Alpha". I think in the summer it would be lovely with the pool and braai area!
The guest house was neat and orderly, and the meals excellent.
Vineland on the Alpha is a home away from home with a friendly owner and a great accommodation. We had a great time engaging with our friendly host, Phillip, who treated us like we were his own friends staying as guests.
The guest house is beautiful, the service is unbeatable, and the food is unforgettable! Was one of the best guesthouses I have ever stayed in.
We were warmly welcomed and the layout of the guest house is good. All that is needed was in the rooms and the breakfast was sure to be a highlight and was prepared by the owner herself.
We had a very nice stay. The breakfast is top!
The Vineyards on Alpha is a great guest house. It's clean and tidy. Friendly service and the best food. The cookies in the room were the proverbial 'cherry' on the 'chocolate sundae'.
The cozy living room between the bedrooms provides a nice place to hang out. We would have single beds instead of preferred a double bed. The mattress could also have been a bit firmer, but the bedding was very good quality and clean. Chocolate on the bed was a nice treat! Definitely very good value for money.
This was our second visit to The Vineyards on Alpha, and second time around was even better than the first. Awesome host, the rooms are comfortable and breakfast "Yummy!" Thank you once again Lekkeslaap for all your help!
Good enough to recommend.
There are two rooms in the house itself (which share a bathroom) and three en-suite rooms in an outbuilding with its own lounge. The atmosphere is rather like the small family hotels in the Italian countryside. The owner, an experienced chef, is the manager himself and makes the food himself. Breakfast is included. The omelette in particular is something special, and subtly different every day. He also makes dinner every day, which one should only order after breakfast. Unfortunately we were busy every night, and had to settle for drooling to read what was to be served that night.
Very nice stay, friendly owner and delicious breakfast!
Philip is the best host ever and very friendly too. His food is to die for!
Will definitely stay here again - Phillip is host of "notes" - makes you feel very comfortable. Friendly and not to mention the food! Excellent service.
Definitely value for money!
We really enjoyed our stay at The Vineyards on Alpha and will visit once more, when we are in the Cape.
Phillip is a very friendly person. The place is nice.
A fantastic accommodation in Brackenfell.
I would recommend this establishment to all my friends and family members - and will definitely be visiting The Vineyards again. The service and extra touches were much appreciated, thank you Phillip for everything!
I will definately use them again I enjoyed my stay
