De Langenhof
The twin towns of Riebeek West and Riebeek Kasteel nestle against the imposing Kasteelberg amongst vineyards and olive groves. The area is well known for excellent wine and award winning olives and oil. Visitors can taste these on several farms in the valley.
Excellent restaurants, original art from resident artists, fascinating shops and markets are a few of the local attractions on offer. Ask your hosts about this and also about the many and varied day trips that are possible with De Langenhof as your base.
De Langenhof Guest House offers four lovely double veranda rooms and two luxury garden rooms, fitted with quality linen. All the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, some with baths, all with showers. Rooms are air-conditioned and fitted with satellite TV and DVD players.
The rooms either have access to a veranda, overlooking the mediterranean garden, or their own garden patio with a view of the Koi pond and the formal rose garden. Enjoy the swimming pool and relax with a good book in the quaint pool house on hot summer days, or relax indoors by the fireplace in winter.Oh, and we are GREEN
