Wonderful Guest House with the best breakfast.

The breakfast was the best I had in my life. Very kind service, the beds were a bit too hard for my taste. It would be nice to be able to get a softer mattress. If we are going to stay in Stellenbosch again, we will definitely choose to stay here.

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!

Friendly and attentive staff and comfortable rooms in a beautiful setting, walkable to campus and the center of town. I would return at the first opportunity.
Charles, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
