One of the top overnight accommodation offerings in Riebeek Kasteel, the Kloovenburg Pastorie offers superb Victorian-style guesthouse stays among the vineyards, the figs and olive trees of the Kloovenburg Wine Estate.
The story of the Kloovenburg Pastorie traces back to 1977, when Pieter and Annalene du Toit purchased Die Pastorie (The Parsonage) – one of the most recognised properties in Riebeek Kasteel, from the Dutch Reformed Church.
Over a period of 33 years, the du Toits transformed this landmark property into one of the Riebeek Valley’s most luxurious overnight accommodation options – the Kloovenburg Pastorie.
