Exceptional, stunning

Absolutely stunning hotel and views. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Excited to stay in the future. Breakfast was delicious. My massage was fantastic. Pool and garden area was amazing. Room was exceptional. I was concerned about the availability of Ubers as the hotel is outside of the main towns, however, they were very easily available and with us within 5-8 mins.

A flawless stay in a truly beautiful setting

Everything was absolutely beautiful and perfect. The pool villas were wonderful – very clean, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped with bathrobes, a yoga mat, and even small weights for training. Nothing was missing. The view of the mountains was simply stunning, just like the pool area itself. The garden was beautifully designed and maintained, and everything was spotless. The massage was wonderful and was arranged for us immediately without any hassle. Breakfast was excellent, and the staff was outstanding – friendly, attentive, and professional. A truly beautiful accommodation that we would happily return to anytime. Absolutely nothing to complain about!

De Zeven Guest Lodge is a true gem in Stellenbosch!

De Zeven Guest Lodge is a true gem in Stellenbosch! Our stay was absolutely amazing. The hotel is situated right in the middle of the vineyards, and the entire property is incredibly tastefully decorated – you can see the attention to detail in every corner. The rooms were perfectly clean and cozy. Highlights of our stay: • The views from the pool: Simply breathtaking. Especially at sunset when the surrounding mountains turn vibrant orange – that view is truly priceless! • Breakfast: Absolutely delicious, fresh, and hearty. A perfect start to the day. • The Staff: The service was incredibly kind and professional; we felt very well taken care of. • Accessibility: Even though you are tucked away in peaceful nature, Uber and Bolt work perfectly fine here, so getting to town or nearby wine estates is super easy. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. If you are looking for the perfect retreat in the Cape Winelands, De Zeven is the place to be!

We loved it!

Stunning property, we really felt like we’d found a slice of heaven. It’s so beautifully done. Adrian, Nikki and the team made us feel very welcome and like nothing was too much trouble. Equidistant from Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, right next to some amazing wine farms. Ubers were only ever a few minutes away.

Great find. An exceptional property. Recommended.

A really good find, just outside Stellenbosch but with several good restaurants near by. Very quiet, good room and beautiful property. Spectacular views. The staff were exceptionally good; super friendly. The cooked breakfast was excellent; well cooked and refreshingly just the right size (not too big). I would definitely stay again.
