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.

Gem in the heart of historic town
What a gem of a boutique guest house in the heart of Stellenbosch. Modern day comforts within the quaintness of a Victorian home. Award winning gardens to gaze upon whilst enjoying freshly made breakfasts and teas. Friendly, enthusiastic staff willing to make every request seem a pleasure. Nespresso coffee maker AND milk frother that I haven’t found in 5* hotels across the globe! Top amenities and best linen.
