Overview
This stylish bed and breakfast guest house is situated within the heart of Stellenbosch in South Africa, down a quiet jacaranda tree-lined back road 5 minutes' drive from the town centre. The enchanting, historical university town of Stellenbosch is near to Cape Town, surrounded by lush vineyards, Cape Dutch mansions and famous golf courses. South Africa blends the best of Europe with African tradition. The abundance of the Garden Route with long stretches of unspoilt beaches is similar to the Riviera and the green Wine Lands resemble Burgundy. You can choose from individual suites and a charming cottage, all featuring a blooming garden and refreshing pool. You will reside in style with charming interiors decorated in warm earth tones, incorporating treasured accessories and including a cosy bathroom in which to relax. This residence with a sense of elegance makes for the perfect base for exploring this wonderful region.

“Worst experience yet. Had to leave”
There was no one to meet us. We manage to gain access after phoning the second number given on booking.com. The room was unmade and the the bathroom also used. The main house was unlocked and security poor so we had to abandon the accommodation and search and alternative accommodation at 22 h at night with a 9 month old baby. Worst experience ever.

The location is amazing within a quiet neighborhood. The university center is quite close and so are restaurants and bars. The interior style is charming. Breakfast was amazing and the staff lady who made it was very nice and supportive.

“The bed was comfortable, and the staff was very helpful. They let us leave our luggage to pick up la”
I liked it, but I expected a slightly different space. I was staying on the top floor and will have to carry my bags up the stairs. The place is beautiful, but needs some improvements. It's located on a street with many beautiful houses and is a very quiet place. We walked about 2 km downtown, both day and night. It's a bit isolated, but otherwise very quiet. The staff was OK, offering hot food, fruit, bread, and coffee.
