This place is absolutely stunning! From the moment we arrived and were greeted by the owners, we were made to feel at home. The grounds are spectacular, the room well equipped, immaculately clean and the staff all amazing. The breakfast is fabulous, with freshly made omelettes, fruit, cereals, toast and meats and cheeses. I highly recommend this place and we hope to come back some day!

Good parking. Easy to walk to The centre and road access to all wineries. Beautiful kept garden. Reminder to book the good restaurants and wineries, since they can be fully booked. Our R, 5 does need refurbishing. It's clean and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was fine, the gluten free bread was heavy, need to also offer plain white gluten free bread

The property may be very nice but the section I was in was not very nice at all. There was no one there to greet me and check me in. It was almost self service. After a 16 hour flight, driving from the airport to this place and then not knowing where to check in etc was not welcoming. The keys were complicated. If I went for a walk in town I had to lock my partner in the room and they had no way to get out. I sadly won’t be staying here again. Carmen at the front desk was very nice. I met her on my way out.

This is the second time that I've stayed at this hotel and everything has been wonderful. It's a quiet neighborhood across the street from the Botanical Garden, yet it's a five minute walk into the center of Stellenbosch. The property itself is a comfortable B&B with every detail considered, but overall it's the staff who make every stay there a memorable one.
