“Lovely hotel in central Stellenbosch.”

Dec 28, 2025mfranks911

We stayed six nights at this central Stellenbosch hotel. Our room (317) overlooked the pool and was well laid out, bright and airy. Separate bath tub and walk in rain shower and plenty of storage space. The balcony is ideal for relaxing and housekeeping was exemplary with daily replenishment of water and tea and coffee. Service was friendly throughout and your car is valet parked in the underground garage. Breakfast is excellent with a very wide choice. An ideal spot for a stay in central Stellenbosch and one we will return to.

“Traditional hotel”

Dec 16, 2025squirleyss

Very traditional hotel values. Valet parking and reception staff who will look after you personally. We had a road facing room which whilst spacious I felt the inclusion of a desk across the room to be rather large. Not much space between the end of the bed and the sharp corners! The breakfast and dinners that we had were excellent.

“Historic Luxury”

Dec 07, 2025Debra5A

One of those boutique hotels that one is constantly searching for when travelling. Quietly charming, soft historic luxury, light & airy and situated in a quaint Stellenbosch street with access to excellent cafes and restaurants. All the staff are incredibly dedicated to making your stay extra special. From the valet to breakfast staff. Good breakfast variety and much appreciated, a proper barista to make your speciality coffee. We spent one night there in a well appointed room and would not hesitate to return next time we are in Stellenbosch
