Guest Reviews

• Beatrice (10/5): -
• Christine (10/5): - Loved your pillows oh my goodness!!!
• Sissy U (8/5): - Schönes altes Haus sehr nahe an Zentrum, bequemes Zimmer und großes Bad. Personal sehr freundlich.
• Sabreuna (2/5): Absolut unterirdisch - Die Lage Es scheint so, als ob niemand wusste das wir ein Zimmer gebucht haben. Dann Verwirrung, kein Schlüssel da, falschen Schlüssel bekommen und kamen nicht mehr in unser Zimmer. Zimmer dreckig, laut. Kein Fenster/Tür schließt richtig. Fleckige Lacken, Vorleger im Bad dreckig. Haare im Bett und auf dem Boden. Sehr hellhörig. Frühstück war das schlechteste auf unserer 3 Wöchigen Reise. Trockenes Brot und fertig Müsli. Kaffeemaschine müssten wir selbst sauber machen, es war Schimmel drin. Da lagen Eier rum beim Frühstück keine Ahnung ob wir uns die selbst machen sollten. Die Frau hat nur Guten Morgen gesagt und war weg. Schimmel auch in der Dusche überdeckt von jede Menge Silikon. Klobürste dreckig und kaputt lag neben dem Klo. Keine richtige Badezimmertür. Vom Vorgänger noch eine Zahnbürste und Pasta im Schrank. Toilette funktionierte auf einmal nicht mehr. Nach mehrmaligem Nachfragen, nehmt einfach eine Toilette in einem anderen Zimmer. Club war sehr laut. Wer Geräuschempfindlich ist sollte nicht hier schlafen. Für den Preis bucht euch was besseres. Nicht zu empfehlen. Kein guter Service. Wenn der Besitzer nicht auf Urlauber außerhalb der Saison eingestellt ist, sollte er das aus dem Internet nehmen.
• Travis (8/5): Would recommend - Exactly what we werelokking for Safe,Clean and close to down town. I would definitely be back.
• Julia (6/5): Top Lage, einchecken in unserem Fall sehr schwierig! - Lage mitten im Zentrum, Zimmer und Gemeinschaftsräume stylisch eingerichtet, Parkplatz vorm Haus. Hilfsbereite Angestellte einer wohl zugehörigen Bar halfen freundlicherweise. Frühstück OK! Bei der Ankunft 1 Stunde lang Personal gesucht um einzuchecken. Trotz klopfen, anschreiben niemand erreichbar. Vorab gab es auch keine Kommunikation. Nach űber einer Stunde öffnete ein Kind einer anderen Gastfamilie die Türe und erklärte sie haben ihren Schlüssel an der Champager Bar ums Eck bekommen. Netterweise brachte uns das Kind zur Bar und wir hatten Kontakt mit den netten Bardamen die uns nach anfänglicher Überforderung im Haus einen Schlüssel organisierten und ein freies Zimmer zuteilten. Ohne das Kind hätten wir wohl erstmal niemanden angetroffen und hätten spontan ein anderes Zimmer in der Stadt suchen müssen. Später entschuldigte sich per Email die Vermieter/in, es sei ein Notfall dazwischen gekommen, was auch mal passieren kann, aber davor hätte man uns auch 2 Tage vorher schon Informationen wegen des Schlüssels ect. zukommen lassen können oder uns die Adresse der Bar geben können, oder Petsonal informieren können. So verloren wir ca 2h fürs einchecken, was bei einer Übernachtung viel ist und wir leider weniger Zeit für Stellenbosch hatten. Die Vermieter/in selbst hatten wir nie zu Gesicht bekommen auch keine persönliche Entschuldigung.... das kennen wir von den meisten anderen Hotels in Südafrika bisher anderst! (Vom Notfall abgesehen). Wir hoffen es war bei uns eine Ausnahme und nicht die Regel!
• Andrea (8/5): -
• Justin (10/5): Have stayed here numerous times. Always a fantastic time and well looked after by Neels and team. -
• Justin (9/5): -
• Axelle (7/5): - Situé proche de centre d'intérêts et de restaurants Nous n'avons pas été accueillis par le propriétaire, nous entendions les voisins et la personne qui s'occupe du petit déjeuner n'était pas très agréable et a exigé une somme précise pour son pourboire.
• Rene (5/5): Very average for the price - Not much Over Priced, Room was Dirty, Breakfast over rated, Dodgy Parking, No one to receive you and number did not work.
• Pascal (7/5): - L emplacement Pas de vue
• Adriana (9/5): Confortável - Quartos e banheiro amplos. Muito bem localizada Por ser muito perto do centro, tinha muito barulho a noite. Na ultima noite teve uma queda de energia e ficamos sem energia até a funcionaria chegar pela manhã.
• Gary (7/5): Good location for exploring the heart of Stellenbosch and its attractions - Proximity to restaurants, pubs, shops, etc. Short power outage and late arrival of housekeeper on morning of departure
• Yvonne (9/5): Excellent experience - Thanks - Excellent location Excellent facilities Excellent service Excellent experience
• Yvonne (9/5): -
• Gertraud (9/5): -
• Thelna (7/5): Perfect location - We loved the location as everything walking distance. The house is nice and small and felt very homely. A continental breakfast was served which we prefer over the usual eggs and bacon. The aircon in our room did not cool down the room , but could be due to dirty filters. There was a lot of build up dust on the headboard. The shower had build up mould that has turned black. There must be a night club near by as we could hear the music pumping untill 2am.
• Kayla (9/5): -
• Jonathon (10/5): Great spot in Stellenbosch - A fantastic location walking distance from town and very close to some bars which we used for a quick drink on our way out (keep in mind that these stay open late). Very friendly staff and the whole place has a comfortable B&B vibe.
• Kirsty (10/5): -
• Klaus-Peter (8/5): Zentrale Lage für Stadt und Weingüter - Die Lage direkt im Zentrum sehr ideal. René war die Perle des Hauses, immer freundlich und hilfsbereit. Parkplatz direkt vor dem Haus. Leider hat die zentrale Lage den Nachteil, dass die nahegelegene Disco die ganze Nacht seine Beats verbreitet.
• Viviane (8/5): Great for a two night stay. - Breakfast and location were ideal for our stay. Renee was very friendly, helpful and accommodating and provided a lovely breakfast. We stayed in a family room so had space and the bedlinen was crisp and clean and towels thick and soft. The air conditioner was noisy and the beds too firm for us! Although on the outskirts of the main town centre, could hear the music from neighbouring buildings late at night.
• Zemlin (10/5): Lovely staycation in the heart of Stellenbosch - Lovely quaint little guesthouse just out of the centre of town, but still close enough to walk around safely even after dark. Rooms were comfortable, very clean and well-equipped. Lovely huge bathroom with bath and shower. Delicious continental breakfast served with option to sit in the courtyard. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Nothing that I didn't like. Maybe just the slight noise from the nightclub on the corner in the front room but this died down after midnight and was partially drowned out by the airconditioner noise. We had 2 upstairs room which were away from the kitchen and entrance so other than slight street noise, very quite.
• Johannes Franciscus Jozef (8/5): - Locatie in centrum. Superlieve kokkin die het ons erg naar de zin wilde maken. Niets.
• Anton (6/5): - The beds were comfortable Staff were unfriendly, not very accommodating.
• Raymond (8/5): - Locatie Het inchecken kan beter worden gecommuniceerd. De dame die de verblijfplaats beheert is een bijzonder karakter, daarbij vraagt ze om een fooi voor de service. Mensen die vragen....
• susan (8/5): -
• Anja (9/5): - Mega tolles Frühstück toller Service sehr familier.
• Terina (8/5): -
• Bernd (9/5): Wir haben uns drei Tage Stellenbosch angesehen, dafür war es super. - Top Lage. Gute Service.
• Dawei (10/5): -
• Rowan (8/5): -
• Chloe (10/5): Beautiful guest house and would recommend to any travellers. - Perfect location off Dorp street, was so close for a walk to all restaurants and bars. House was so lovely and had a historical Dutch feel. Renee the housekeeper was amazing and had an amazing breakfast each morning. Be aware of Friday and Saturday night the bars are very close and it’s a student town.
• Ek (8/5): - Renee took really good care of us and gave us really good breakfasts. The parking was a big problem. The assigned parking was often used by someone else and you had to go to the staff and tell them this for them to remove the car that was parked there. One day we even got a 500 rand fine because the staff in charge of parking was not there and we had to park somewhere else.
• Jitske (9/5): Een heerlijk verblijf in het hart van Stellenbosch - Het vers bereide ontbijt , schone kamer met een heeerlijk bed, Niets
• Sally (5/5): Beautiful room and good location. But no staff in sight - The room was very clean and the bed really comfortable. The location was also good and I appreciated the free parking. It was a strange experience - on arrival trying to get someone to help me check in was tough. Finally someone came from the restaurant next door. When i got home late that night I felt very uncomfortable walking in the dark to my room around the back corner. Felt very isolated. Perhaps the rooms inside were better. Then I wanted breakfast the next morning and no one was there to serve. So I went out to get a coffee. When I got back - no one there so I helped myself from the fridge (prepared stuff in there). Just an odd experience.
• Ann De Jager (10/5): Stellenbosch charm - "We had a wonderful stay! The bed was super comfortable and the bath was lovely 😊. The staff were amazing - they even made us a delicious fruit salad 🍉. Would definitely stay here again!" Carrying bag up the stairs Coffee station and bar fridge in room Street parking
• Alison (9/5): - Location and breakfast Noise next door
• Deon (10/5): - Airconditioning is slightly noisy and cooling was not 100% efficient
• De Clercq (7/5): -
• Simon (5/5): - Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich. Lage ist super zentral. Frühstück gut. Leider ist die Ausstattung sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Leider nicht wirklich sauber. Sowohl in Bettzeug, Handtüchern und Duschvorlegern waren Flecken. Lage ist zentral und in Nähe zu mehreren Studentenbars. Am Wochenende abends sehr laute Musik, Bass und Geschrei.
• catherine (6/5): - Très bon emplacement Personne en charge du petit déjeuner très désagréable
• Tanja (8/5): -
• Tayler (8/5): Convenient central location. Comfortable stay and friendly staff - Great Central location. Comfortable rooms Delicious breakfast Friendly staff No TV units in bedrooms - not a fan of a communal lounge area. Was quite noisy at night from the nearby nightclub. Wary of the parking bays on the street.
• Guy (9/5): My daughter is now 2nd year at Stellenboch. - Price! Breakfast! Location!
• Judy (10/5): - The home is a beautiful old historical home with loads of character. It was spotless, with a big comfy room. Rene, the lady who looks after things, was lovely. She provided us with a healthy breakfast every morning. She is sweet and they are lucky to have her. In the pm Janny would come in and make sure we were OK. She too was lovely. Nothing. It was lovely and we were well looked after!
• DAVID (8/5): Great location for town & we were well looked after - Nice welcome. Good location for town - we walked. Felt safe as lots of people around - university. Good quality room fittings. Good choice for breakfast. Parking on site. Quite central so not a property for views.
• Michaela (10/5): Perfekt - Breakfast was miraculous, nicely served and Renee is just a perfect host.We will hopefully stay there again,
• Andrea (8/5): Grazioso per una notte. - Posizione, internet veloce, camera grande. La persona che prepara la colazione che fissa e guarda tutto il tempo gli ospiti. Tutte le stanze e la casa sono con inferiate. Sembra di essere in un carcere!
• Lerato (8/5): -
• Joseph (10/5): Brilliant, historic option in the centre of Stellenbosch. - Location. Free parking. Plentiful breakfast. Good AC. Historic building. Good shower. Slightly difficult to find (not on Google Maps, and not clear in what way it related to the adjoining bar), and check in process not made clear.
• Peter (9/5): Hele prettige plek met ruime kamers - Renee, onze super vriendelijke gastvrouw De buitenkant
• Riaan (8/5): No that I understand how things work I will definitely recommend the house to my friends. - Very clean in a great location, beautiful house and rooms. Breakfast was very good as well. The arrangements were somewhat confusing, upon arrival the place was locked with no one to assist. I suggest you put up a sign to guide customers. I happened to recognise the name of the wine bar and got the key there. Parking infront of the house with a fully packed car may be a bit risky, I was allowed access to the parking at the wine bar.
• hare (7/5): -
• bedin (10/5): Great room in Stellenbosch - A very beautiful room in the garden
• REfilwe (8/5): Warm host, stunning interior, internet brilliant, location location. -
• Ruth Sander (10/5): Perfect Place um Stellenbosch zu erkunden - Die Lage war zwar zentral, aber ruhig. Restaurants und Innenstädtchen in sehr kurzer Distanz. ./.
• Tracy Woerner (10/5): -
• Ursula (5/5): -
• Fransie (7/5): - Clean, good location Comfortable The aircon made loud noise and did not cool the room efficiently.
• Linda (10/5): - Convenient and central staff very helpful
• Hans-Werner (6/5): -
• Anthony (7/5): Disappointed - Location Room was not serviced as per booking.com discription. Silverfish insects all over room against walls and in bathroom. Mentioned to the maid.
• Simon (10/5): Great - Close to everything. Sometime people outside were noisy but that’s the trade off for such a good location
• Michael (4/5): - Die Lage der Unterkunft und die Größe des Zimmers. Eincheken war schlecht. Es war keiner da, wir haben sowohl in der Champagner lounge als auch in der Unterkunft jemanden gesucht, bis Mal wer kam und uns irgendwie in Empfang nahm. Unser Zimmer war direkt neben der Küche. Morgens ab 5 Uhr (als andere Gäste aufständen) bzw 7 Uhr, als die Dame fürs Frühstück kam, alles mitbekommen. (Andere Zimmer sind vll besser) Nachts bis ca 2 Uhr disco Musik. Das Zimmer selbst war leider dreckig. Das Frühstück war im Vergleich zu dem, was wir auf unserer Rundreise hatten, mittelmäßig. Es gibt Joghurt, Früchte, Käse, ei und Schinken. Grds. Ok. Die Dame, die das Frühstück macht fand ich grds sehr nett, bis sie beim Check Out direkt nach Tip fragte. Die Kommunikation mit dem Eigentümer wegen etwaiger Tipps war mehr als nur schleppend (Mails wurden sehr spät oder gar nicht beantwortet) und leider nur sehr dürftig. Das haben wir bei anderen Unterkünften herzlicher und mit mehr Infos erlebt. Insgesamt sehr schade.
• Lois (10/5): -
• Günter (9/5): Perfect accommodation for a lovely stay in central Stellenbosch - Location is super central, all in safe walking distance. Old houses are simply charming. Rene, the lady who prepared breakfast and takes care of the guests, is extremely nice and always eager to help. She’s just a gem. Windows do not shut so well. Club round the corner is sometimes pretty noisy at night. But I was lucky and had a room to the backyard.
• Trix Van der Merwe (8/5): Well positioned for easy walking through many areas of Stellenbosch. Reserved side-walk parking. - Lovely continental breakfast with delicious coffee. Rooms were not freshened up during our 3 day stay.
• Trevor (10/5): Great location and great service.Very nice ladies that work there - Central
• Lieke (7/5): -
• Adrienne (9/5): Lovely stay in Stellenbosch. - The guest house was very clean and comfortable and is within walking distance of town and many of the restaurants. Breakfast was a nice variety of fresh fruits , cold meats, toast and condements. Nothing.
• LEON (8/5): -
• Mari (8/5): Adequate - Centrally located. Clean and comfortable. Private parking. Check-in didn’t go as smoothly as expected. The breakfast is served at a kitchen counter and continental. Same fruit salad re-served by the third day. Rooms weren’t serviced. Perhaps I expected too much.
• MARK (10/5): -
• Rozlyn (7/5): Central, clean and spacious but very close to some clubs so the late noise factor is disruptive - The size and cleanliness on arrival, caring staff, fresh fruit cheese for breakfast. Spacious accommodation. Easy access to restaurants and trails in the area. Quick attention by host and staff to any queries Didn't realise the room wasn't to be cleaned during our stay. Air conditioning not effective affecting ventilation so the room we stayed in got stuffy as the bathroom windows only partially opened and the door between the bathroom and room is stable doors that don't fully shut. No stove to use to make any hot breakfast
• Kagiso (9/5): Awesome - Best value for money. Nice and quiet
• Antonella (10/5): - Camera e bagno molto spaziosi. Letto comodissimo. Ci sarebbe piaciuto che l'aria condizionata funzionasse per riscaldare la stanza.
• Wilhelmus (9/5): Absolutely recommended location for Stellenbosch stay - Super comfortable bed and the breakfast was great. The lodge is situated in an old victorian house, so ver charming (but squeaky floor boards) Nothing tbh

• Andrea (4/5): -
• Johannes (8/5): Very good -
• Francois (9/5): Superb - Good location to Dorp street and restaurants. Parking provided Friendly staff, comfortable stay, good breakfast Nothing
• Erika (7/5): Good - Beautiful room, centrally located. Good breakfast. Unfortunately, we didn’t sleep well due to constant knocking with the metal knocker on the front door, throughout the night. There were hair in the bed and shower. 😩

• Barbara (9/5): Superb - Beautifully restored old house with loads of character. Very comfortable rooms and you can't beat the location. Our host was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The breakfast was a little disappointing. Not many options.
• Magdalene (8/5): Very good - Perfect stay .
• Bianca (5/5): Passable - Champagne Bar next door very nice snacks Very noisy at night/ wifi did not work

• Nokuthula (8/5): Felt like home, comfortable - Everything, stunning house, felt like home Our family room was so comfortable and prestine/clean Lovely continental breakfast Convenience, short uber drive to main town Enjoyed the bubbly lounge adjacent to the house, didn't realise how lovely it was until 1 hour to departure Wish the owner told me more about it Proximity to the student club, heard the base of the music until 2am in the morning Peaceful sleep once they closed the club
• Petra (10/5): Beautifully decorated and clean, brilliant host and perfect location. What more could you ask for - Location is fantastic, everything is easily accessible by foot. the hosting was brilliant, Neels is an exceptional host and we love staying there. We have def made it our base in Stellenbosch. Neels goes out of his way to support any request,. Liked everything :-)

The accommodation is comfortable and spacious, with impeccable restoration work that preserves the property's traditional charm. You can sense the respect and pride taken in maintaining the property's original character, transporting you back to a bygone era. Highly recommended!" 5/5 stars
