What the guests say about us...

We apologize for not being able to include all of your kind words in this limited space!

A wonderful location and even better accommodation.
The property was superb. The best bed and breakfast we have stayed in. Antonio and Ash were super hosts who looked after us so well. If you're visiting Riebeek Kasteel, check them out. Everything about the accommodation was superb.

Our room was fantastic with careful selection of artwork and furniture. Spacious bathroom. Comfortable bed. Breakfast served in the garden contained amongst others home made croissants, good yoghurt with fruit salad and strong, good coffee! Peaceful garden with pool and fountain. We will definitely return!

True boutique hotel. Antonio was an absolute charming host and went out of his way to make our stay most memorable, even baking us croissants. The bedroom and spacious bathroom are tastefully decorated with art and design pieces collected over decades. A comfortable stay followed by a delightful breakfast next to the pool. Truly a warm and personable boutique hotel.
We loved everything.

Didn't want to leave and can't imagine staying anywhere else.
Both Antonio and Ashley are perfect hosts and their guesthouse is the perfect home-from-home. Their professional attention to detail (from high quality bedding and towels to the contemporary decor) and their personal, helpful hospitality creates an intimate and friendly atmosphere. Every morning my locally-sourced and substantial continental breakfast was laid out on the terrace's table overlooking the gardens and pool - as others have commented it's an amazing way to start each day. 1 Royal Street Guesthouse must be the best value for money in Riebeek Kasteel.

Very enjoyable and relaxing.
The property is very tastefully decorated, clean and tidy. The attention to detail and the artworks were great. The host, Antonio, was super helpful and provided a lovely breakfast in the garden every morning. The location is very central and within walking distance of shops and restaurants.

Fantastic stay, great host and a must when visiting the area.
When booking online we loved the look and feel of the property. When we arrived, we were blown away by the beauty of the guesthouse and accommodation. 5-star service on arrival till departure. Antonio personally served breakfast in the beautiful garden close to the pool. The amenities in the room are of a 5-star quality, the food is of a 5-star quality and the magnificent well-appointed room with beautiful decor took our breath away.

This was guesthouse perfection. We spent the Christmas there, and it exceeded all our expectations. Antonio was a wonderful host - welcoming, thoughtful, charming. Everything was spot on starting from cleanliness, location, privacy, complimentary goods, our welcome letter... Our room was tastefully decorated with beautiful furniture, design items and interesting art. It was just to my/our taste! We loved breakfast by the pool where we got spoiled with fresh croissants and tasty local goods. The attention to detail in this place is incredible. We will definitely be back, and would recommend the place to friends, family, and anyone who is heading to Riebeek-Kasteel and appreciates the finer things in life. Thank you so much for making our romantic little Christmas getaway perfect!
We loved everything.

Justin, South Africa

Style and comfort and the friendliest host ever.
Very stylish and an absolutely excellent host. Antonio was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We very much enjoyed our stay in this beautiful guest house. We felt at home, and especially enjoyed the breakfast (with croissants just out of the oven) on the pool terrace. The attention to detail in all aspects was impressive. Excellent quality linen and beautiful decor. The overall quality, comfort and cleanliness was of a very high standard.

One Royal Street Guesthouse is central in Riebeek Kasteel, just around the corner from the Royal Hotel. This historic house is beautifully restored and has no equal in the area. The decor throughout the property is tasteful, and the rooms are large and well-equipped with luxurious en-suite bathrooms.
The hosts are amicable and go out of their way to make you feel at home. My wife and I will return without a doubt, as this is a luxury without breaking the bank.
