Coopmanhuijs Boutique Hotel & Spa

location excellent

Staff friendly

Packed breakfast was very substandard.

Relatively small hotel in a prime Stellenbosch location - the town doesn't exactly have one centre, but Church Street is as central as it gets, particularlly for restaurants and shops. The hotel is quite an old world feel with some delightful interior decor, but very modern facilities. Helena's restaurant is a star in its own right and well thought of by locals. The staff are wonderful and make you feel like family. Swimming pool area is wonderful to sit in both day and night. My room was beautifully furnished but again, with all modern facilities including a huge bathroom with bath, shower and twin sinks. There was quite a generous sized terrace overlooking the swimming pool area, but from previous experience, even the street facing rooms are not particularly noisy. Free parking is a great benefit in this location also (though you absolutely should tip the relevant staff generously IMO). I didn't have a car but they were very helpful about parking my friends' car while we had lunch before I checked in.

Lots of stairs, and the "what to do if the lift gets stuck" notice in the lift didn't inspire confidence!
