Took guests here for a wine tasting twice now, WOW is all I got to say, what a great welcoming and the tasting agents are so friendly... and knowledgeable.. they spend time with the guest explaining each wine in detail.... Nothing wrong with Vrede en Lust... and the ladies in Red... Stunning. Not as beautiful/stunning/gorgeous/sexy as my wife... but still... More

Yolanda the wedding coordinator was so efficient and took care... More

We attend a wedding at this wine farm on the 24 March 2012. What a beautiful setting - white chairs set out against the backdrop of the beautiful mountains. The flower arrangements were spectacular, the service was excellent and the food superb. The cottage we stayed in (Jacques) was really luxurious and with two bedrooms on suite and a lounge... More

My daughter and son-in-law had fallen in love with the area and picked Vrede en Lust as 'THE PLACE' to do the deed. With family coming from UK, Netherlands, Australia, Singapore and friends from 18 other countries it had to be good for all. IT WAS! Everyone loved the venue and the wedding coordination was well tried and tested. The... More

We got married at Vrede en Lust in October 2011 and our wedding was beyond our wildest dreams. Vrede en Lust lives up to the meaning of its name when it comes to weddings. We were looking for a traditional, historic wine estate that also offered accommodation. Well we chose Vrede en Lust because it fitted the bill exactly! Our... More

I had my wedding "feast at Vrede en Lust... There are no words to explain the level of service that you get, the friendly staff and warm hospitality! Nothing was to big or to small to ask. I remeber the day before the wedding I was in the mood for a salad with avo and feta. The restaurant on site... More

My Fiance and I visited Vrede and Lust again. What can I say except that it just keeps getting better. Sharing a wonderful bottle of wine by the fire place is how we capped off each day. A more glorious and romantic setting is impossible to find. Thank you once again to the friendly staff. We will be back.

This is really a wedding venue; we went for the winter special and were disappointed. There is nowhere to eat dinner; the breakfast was boring. The rooms are very luxurious but the TV cable service was not accessible and the rooms were a little cold - great fireplace in the living room but heat does not make it to the... More

Dear Alex We are sorry to heat that you did not enjoy your stay here. The Winter Special you refer to was only R520 ($72) per person per night, including breakfast, so we are surprised and disappointed you found it overpriced. The TVs in the suites were all replaced with new flat screen LCD TVs last month and Satelite TV... More
