Reghardts Bday Weekend

Review of The Residence @ Vrede & Lust
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 06 Oct 2020via mobile
My Husband and I were invited to a very dear and special Friends bday - we accepted of course without a clue of what we were in for. We knew it was on a farm somewhere and low key vibe with acoustics was on the menu!
But we were blown away!!!! We did not expect so much beauty Perfection and excellence all behind one closed door. I will highly and Definitely recommend this to anyone that is celebrating a big and special occasion. Or maybe even a couple of friends looking for the getaway they deserve to be treated like lords in excellence and comfort and supreme quality!
Thank You to Corne for treating us like lords - it was brief and quick getaway - but a weekend I will remember for a lifetime!!! Thank YOU

We had the privilege of spending my birthday weekend at this amazing property. From the word go, myself and all my guests/friends had such a unforgettable experience. All the rooms have been decorated to the highest standard, with very spacious entertainment areas that is very welcoming! Breakfast was amazing..... Corne, thank you for all the effort and World Class service we received from yourself and your team. All of us appreciated all you have done for us!

This is a must visit for anyone regardless the reason for visiting!!!

Mrs

Had the most amazing two night stay at this stunning residence. Everything you could want for a weekend away celebrating the birthday of a dear friend. From the quality of the decor to the service which was second to one. From start to finish I felt I was in at least a 10 star place. The team there know exactly what to do to make you feel welcome and as though nothing is too much.

Best Covid escape in the world

Not only a AAA property in the best valley but best staff to assist with everything. Unforgettable. Highly recommended if you like nature and want to experience it in comfort. The breakfast and wine selection at the Residence is great. Thank you Corne (house manager). He is superbly professional

Beyond exceptional

Worth every cent, our family weekend away was beyond magical. Perfect for our entire family. The two toddlers loved it as much as our parents. The breakfast was beyond insane. Every small detail was thought of. We will be back!!!
