If you watch the presentation on view based tableviews from WWDC 2011, you'll see that the main idea is to create the views in Interface Builder, and then obtain them from there. Something like:

[tableView makeViewWithIdentifier:@"GroupRow" owner:self];

Once you have obtained the view, just set its properties and return it.

Notice in this example that it has its own identifier, so remember to set that, but you can also used automatic identifiers.

I don't know if a direct link to the WWDC will work, but the main page is here: https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2011/ and if you search for "View Based NSTableView Basic to Advanced", you'll find it. It is well worth watching.
