A nice location (on the Wine Tram) serving some excellent wines in a large dining area. It was pretty quiet when we visited so lacked atmosphere. We liked the LUST Bistro & Bakery, which served up some decent cakes too.

To any prospecting couple looking to get married at Vrede En Lust...You absolutely HAVE to! The team at VNL exceeded every single expectation we could have ever had. The service was the best service I have ever experienced at a restaurant or hotel, let alone at a wedding with 125 guests! And they maintained this unbelievable service across all 3 days. The waiters and waitresses went above and beyond for each and every guest and 50+ guests commented to us how unbelievable the staff were. Particularly Vee, Cedrick and Ed! They were exceptional and we are blown away by them and the entire team! The food was also absolutely incredible - so many people said that it was the best wedding food they have ever had and couldn't get over how delicious the ravioli was and how perfectly cooked all of the steaks were. Several people said that their favourite meal of their entire 2 week holiday in Cape Town, was our wedding food! Having postponed our wedding twice due to the pandemic, we had extremely high hopes and dreams of what our day would FINALLY end up being...and the Vrede En Lust team, surpassed it in every single way. They run such a slick operation and had thought of everything. They were so accommodating and polite and never made us feel like any ask was an inconvenience or not possible. Thank you so much to the Vrede En Lust team - we feel incredibly lucky and grateful to all of you! …

The wines here were some of the best we tasted all day and the staff were very knowledgeable about the wines. I loved the tasting room where we got to sit on a comfy couch and enjoy the spectacular view. There is an adjacent restaurant but we did not try it.

Amazing time at Savoye of Vrede en Lust. Not only was the menu exceptional but the service by Lydia was unmatched!! Lydia was attentive and had a wonderful sense of humour. Shout out to the exceptional Rosè (Jess), paired with tasteful tapas. Highly recommend to anyone spending time in the Franschhoek area.

We went for a wedding and it was outstanding and not just because the bride and groom had arranged everything to perfection, this a a great estate with warm and wonderful staff who really care about their product and that you are having a great time. All staff were great but Cedrick needs a special mention for his outstanding service. Many thanks to all.

We were there for a wedding in July 2022. The views were amazing, staff were so organised and wedding was a great day. The rooms were so comfortable and a great place to stay as well as the breakfast. The wine tasting was great and the views at the tasting were again incredible, an amazing venue.

First stop on our wine tram tour. Went for the wine and cheese pairing. Both were gorgeous and the staff were super friendly. Lovely grounds with beautiful scenery from the balcony. Careful of the time though 40 mins was quiet short for us to get finished
