“Delightful stay in Stellenbosch.”
Loved it. The staff were all excellent and treated us like royalty. Beautiful room, up in the loft space. It was a very large bedroom and huge bathroom. Lovely toiletries. Gorgeous breakfast. The fact it was walkable to all the shops and restaurants in Stellenbosch made it even better! Having Caroline the beautiful, gentle, affectionate cat onsite was a bonus for me, however, if you’re not a cat fan, she leaves you alone - she’s very well trained!

“Charming, attractive, peaceful hotel in a fantastic location”
Fantastic location - easy walking distance to the heart of stellenbosch but just far enough away that it is peaceful and calm. Not one but two swimming pool areas! Both with a good number of comfortable sun loungers. Very attractive outdoor areas, indoor sitting room and dining room. Good WiFi speed (we needed to work remotely). Very good breakfast menu. Helpful and polite staff, flexible and accommodating to our needs. Quiet bedroom, large comfortable bed.
