Great Place in a nice area

The guest house is perfect! Our room was very comfortable and quiet. Fiona was very kind and helpful. The breakfast menu has plenty of options for everybudy. Pool and garden are also very well maintained and big enough for all guest to find a place to relax. It‘s about a 20 minutes walk to downtown Stellenbosch, the area is save and quiet.

Specious and comfortable room in a delightful, quiet hotel, which felt more like a boutique hotel. Ideally located, just 15 mins walk to town centre. Friendly and helpful welcome from Fiona.

Beautiful property in perfect location. 15 min walk to downtown Stellenbosch for meals and shopping. Our host was gracious and had communicated dining and wine options well ahead of our arrival, allowing us to book ahead and secure reservations. Breakfast was included and lovely. Room was comfortable and spacious. We had a ground floor suite which was very convenient. Several bikes were available for use, but we did not take them out. Overall, highly recommend this property if you are looking for good quality, personal attention, quiet and safe location, and pleasant amenities.

Beautiful Accommodation in a Beautiful Setting

This is a really beautiful guesthouse; totally in keeping with the stunning Stellenbosch area. We had a very warm welcome and a wonderful stay. The rooms, outdoor space, main lounge and dining room are all spacious, elegant and immaculately kept. Breakfast was made up of three courses, each with various lovely choices. All the food was very nice, the only downside was the service was very slow and sometimes our orders got confused. There were a couple of nice extras we weren't expecting such as free bikes we could borrow if we wanted, cosy swing chairs on the porch we could curl up in and read books and little chocolates left each night on our door handle. We were sad to leave after two nights.

Aprazível.

O hotel é extremamente bem localizado, em um bairro muito tranquilo e acolhedor. A recepcionista foi muito atenciosa em nosso check-in e solícita em prestar as informações de nossos passeios. As acomodações são novas e de extremamente bom gosto. Café da manhã excelente.

Great Guesthouse

We stayed over for 4 nights as we had a wedding in Stellenbosch. The place is well located and is safe and secure. Not far from the Centre with restaurants and shops. We got Uber’s everyone but you can walk in to the Centre. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is great and the staff went out there way to make us take away sandwiches after we missed breakfast one morning. Didn’t use the pool as we didn’t have time, but it looked clean. The guesthouse was peaceful and chilled out. We would definitely stay again!
