Had the most incredible date night here, Jonathan and his team are attentive, professional, and they really made our whole evening truly special. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a night of good food, good wine, and good company.

Very nice location with a kids park and lots of space. Food is fair, but kids were scared of the two massive dogs roaming freely.

We only visited the restaurant . It was average for the Winelands. The food was excellent. But the restaurant is next to the swimming pool . Childen were swimming which was not what we expected. But still very affordable.

We had lunch and it was amazing. The service was excellent. It is such a beautiful setting and a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. Will definitely be returning.

We had a great lunch, the duck pate and Melba toast with two different sauces was delicious, a very generous portion which we shared. Then the Chicken Ballotine and Portebellini mushroom risotto were both excellent. Gin and tonics were perfect, just the way we like them. The service was beyond reproach - they couldn’t have been more efficient and helpful. And we enjoyed chatting to Jonathan , one of the co-owners of the restaurant. Highly recommended

What a divine place to stay, clean and cozy rooms. Absolutely delightful staff. Only suggestion I could make is communication regarding the relationship with the on site restaurant could be better as you aren't quite sure how they work in tandem. Lovely outdoor lounging areas, beautiful pool to cool off in while sipping cocktails and adorable squirrels running around in the perfectly designed garden! Oh and super close to all the good wine farms in the Winelands.

Review is limited to the restaurant and the summarized version: For the pricepoint - there are better establishments in the area which offer a more pleasant dining experience. During a spontaneous outing, we chanced upon Val de Vine, a restaurant boasting a scenic view that promised a great dining experience according to its online photos. On arrival, we followed the group ahead, briefly pausing on the deck before being greeted by a server. The casual atmosphere was immediately evident as we were informed that reservations for couples weren't necessary and we were free to choose any available seating. The restaurant wasn't particularly crowded, which allowed us to pick a spot that perfectly framed the stunning view. We opted for sparkling water to start. Although Val de Vine doesn’t have a cocktail menu, I noticed other diners enjoying bespoke drinks, so it might be worth inquiring about their options. It's worth noting that the pool deck area, where we were seated, isn't air-conditioned, which meant it got a bit warm. This being our first visit and having read mixed reviews, we decided to test the waters with their tapas menu. Unfortunately, the dishes, while adequately portioned, were underwhelming in flavor and lacked a certain je ne sais quoi. Service was prompt, with our food arriving in about 20 minutes. Given our initial experience, we chose not to venture into the main course offerings and concluded our meal there. While Val de Vine shines in its location and view, the combination of mediocre food, a somewhat uncomfortable dining setting, and the price point lead me to recommend exploring other dining options in the area.

Room: We stayed in a house with three other couples since it was a shared house. We did not know at first this is the layout, but we managed to be okay as it was only for one night and we had our own bathroom. The bathroom is a built on part of the bedroom and does not have a door for privacy but rather a curtain. Just know if are going to stay in the shared house, the other guest can be noisy and have loud chatter during the late evening. Somehow we managed with the noise and slept. Be aware that the mosquitos are very frequent so make sure to bring mosquito pads. Venue: You have to check in at the main house before you head to the shared house. We were not share how to navigate properly but we managed to figure it out. The are dogs living on the premises but they seem to be friendly, just watch out for the poop. If you are going to walk in the garden, watch out were you are walking as you might go step on an ant hill. The garden is lovely and the pool looks good. Food: Breakfast was included in our booking. It is not a buffet and you can only choose one food item off the menu. It was quite weird to understand but we just went with the flow. Furthermore, the breakfast is very basic and lacks flavour. Overall: It is a decent place to stay for one night, but it was not for us. Also to note that this is also a functional restaurant for non-guests so it can be busy.

Our group of tennis ladies booked for lunch at beg of Dec. 12:30 on a Tuesday. Our waiter was charming but the service was so slow! Drinks and main course was all we had but it took 3 hours to get the main courses. My Melanzane wasn’t even warm, swimming in a watery sauce. Worst I’ve ever tasted. Friend next to me had the same and her portion was half the size of mine. Another had uncooked chicken liver. Lovely location but utterly disappointing food and service. Will not be back

Celebrated staff year-end function and it was very good. Good food, good service and good company. It is a large venue and there several year-end functions hosted at once with seating outdoors and indoors where we were. Extensive menu with a range of prices and a well stocked bar with craft beers, wines and other drinks as well. One is pleasantly surprised when entering, it has an nondescript entrance but once inside it is really lovely.

Spent an extremely relaxing 3 day weekend here. Fantastic staff, great food, and the a bed more comfortable than my own

From day one, we always had a great reception from management and staff. They serve great food at very reasonable prices, always with a smile and ready to accommodate individual needs. This is a must visit in the Winelands!

What an amazing discovery. Really a gem. A dynamic new family business, a beautiful place in a lush garden, service with a big smile and nice food. Life music around the pool or under the huge oak tree. A place to fall in love with.

We had a church social gathering here and it was exquisite! The food was next level. The service and entertainment was top tier!! Had the privilege of meeting Jono and his mom, that own the venue and they are super people! Will definitely be back 👌🏼

We enjoyed the restaurant at Val de Vine and what an awesome experience it was! This estate is tucked away off the R44 and you wouldn't even notice it unless you were looking for it. But wow the place is amazing! The location is great and the views and scenery are scintillating. Outside dining around the pool is a must. There are different seating options too so you can enjoy tapas, a light meal or sundowners. The flying club is nearby and also its a great place to bring your dogs.

Rooms are very small but great for an overnight. Great way to spend quality time at the bar, pool deck or in front of the fire.

This is without a doubt one of the BEST Hidden Gems of the Helderberg. It takes your breath away.... Feels like you are in Paradise and far away from the hussle n bussle.... The friendliest staff make you feel like you are part of their family.

Beautiful restaurant with a magical outside area, and amazing vibe! The food is top knotch, and so is the service. Well done, guys! You will definitely see us A LOT.

Beautiful setting with a bar built around an oak tree and sculptures surrounding the restaurant and entertainment area. The staff make you feel so welcome. Thanks to Casper,Jono and Glenn for such an awesome weekend. The food was lovely and just a great weekend away.

Spent blissful 3 weeks, love ❤️ it
