Guest Reviews
- F (4/5): -
- Heidi (10/5): Very Good - I was not there but the people that we book for was very happy.
Thank you They love everything about De Molen guest house.
- Mieke (9/5): Great stay at De Molen, comfy rooms, beautiful guesthouse and wonderful host - We stayed in a large room with a loft with 2 single beds upstairs for our 8yo. Beds were very comfy. There’s a small basic kitchenette. Also loved the large terrace with the views. Safe gates, plenty of parking. Fairly steep driveway to walk up to some rooms. Everything was great!
- JAKOB (9/5): Great value for money. , friendly - Great location , friendly staff , will stay there again Nonw
- Zach (10/5): -
- Charles (7/5): -
- Jeanine (8/5): -
- zelda (9/5): - Views, own garden private entrance, lovely decor Dstv and internet not stable
- Diana (8/5): Overall great stay - Great location, nice accommodation. I would say there’s an area for improvement with the way the breakfast is ordered. The “pre-order” service is not well-managed, in this case it is better not to provide it at all, cause it implies some expectations that are not met thus frustration.
I was mistakenly charged with services i didn’t order, but we quickly settled it down.
- MARK US (9/5): -
- Ingo (10/5): - perfect accommodation, perfect breakfast, communication with guests, privacy, view, really taking care of the needs that guests have, great tips for locations to go to

- Richard (10/5): - Het was gewelidig! Super fraaie cottage bovenin. Wat een uitzicht. Helemaal top. Wr hebben genoten van ons verblijf. Niets
- Adrianus (10/5): Een warme omgeving en huiselijkheid. Complimenten. - Ontbijt voortreffelijk. Gastvrijheid van eigenaresse en ook het personeel. Het gevoel van welkom zijn en niets is teveel. Eigenlijk niets.
- Gail (5/5): It was on - Did not have the breakfast PLUGS I. THE KITCHEN AREA DID NOT WORK.
The staircase to the rooms are very unstable

- Esmarie (8/5): -
- Stacey (10/5): ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Stay! - I had the most amazing experience during my recent stay. From the moment I arrived, the service was nothing short of impeccable ! Every staff member was friendly, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and cared for.
The views were breathtaking and truly made the whole stay feel extra special. The facilities were spotless, well-maintained, and made everything incredibly convenient and enjoyable.
I’m genuinely so thankful for the wonderful hospitality I received. It’s rare to find a place that gets everything so right, but this accommodation exceeded all expectations. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending it to everyone I know! 🌟
- Barbara (10/5): Kann man mur empfehlen! - Wunderschöne Lage am Helderberg mit romantischen Zimmern. Tolle Gastgeber!
- Rennay (5/5): -
- ELSIE & JACO (8/5): Booking was made with breakfast included, and we still had to pay for it. - Not much fruit yogurt and Croicant
- Natasha (5/5): - The location to where we needed to be, was perfect. The guesthouse needs maintenance work, as you enter the plants needs cutting back. the unit wasn't ready when we arrived after the said check in time. In unit 9 the floors were lifting and loose (need replacing them) and the cornices were missing. Under the bed there was bum creme left by previous visitors and under the bed was dusty as was under the kitchen counter and the light fittings. Roman blind next to bed has stain marks from water damage.
- Alida (7/5): - Good Clean, dry towels daily
Small fridge in the room
- Zingiswa (8/5): Good welcoming from the staff starting from the guy that was working in the garden - The venue was so beautiful and neat even if I didn't have time to move around and see the whole place The air-conditioning was not ok as the result the room was very cold
- Jennifer (10/5): This guest house exceeded my expectations in every way. Highly recommend. - Excellent!
- Valeriia (10/5): Берите без раздумий! - Впечатляющий старинный гест хаус! Каждый номер выполнен в индивидуальном дизайне, качественное белье, прекрасный вид с балкона, чудесный сад, есть чил зона у бассейна, инстаграмные завтраки. Супер услужливый персонал, даже хозяйка утром подходит на завтраке и интересуется проживанием и сервисом. Лайк лайк лайк -
- Teun (9/5): heerlijk verblijf, perfect personeel, schitterende locatie - fantastisch uitzicht, schitterende plek en hele aardige mensen. Een dag van te voren gevraagd waar we de avond erna het beste konden eten. Ze hebben vervolgens voor ons een fijn restaurant geboekt. Ook met de braai werd goed meegedacht en geholpen. De accommodatie is echt een plaatje en is perfect om stellenbosch vanuit te verkennen.
- Karel (10/5): De Molen is an exceptional place to stay. I will certainly return. - The location is outstanding, on the slope of the Helderberg Mountain, with a great view and sense of being away from a built-up area. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The cottage that I was in had everything one needed to be self-sufficient, including a kitchenette. Breakfast was super.
- Hanri (10/5): Great Stay at De Molen - Everything at De Molen was perfect. Clean rooms, great views. Excellent service and the staff are friendly and helpful. Everything was perfect.
- Callaghan (10/5): - Everything Loved it and we will be back
- Hannelie (8/5): -
- Martie (10/5): - The staff moved us to another unit at no extra cost because the Booking.com advert was a bit misleading. We also received breakfast on the house. I can't thank the De Molen management and staff enough for an extraordinary and luxurious 2-night stay with the most unbelievable views (day and night). We will most definitely be back as soon as possible. Thank you kindly! Nothing.
- Jenny (10/5): -
- Grant (6/5): - Good location Apartment needs maintenance
Wi-Fi and DStv not working
- Frederike (10/5): - Lovely place to stay, beautiful surroundings and quiet. The staff was very friendly and helpfully. We where staying in a cottage and every morning a delicious breakfast was delivered at our cottage. Ideal place to stay if you want to explore (the surroundings of) Somerset West, Stellenbosch and even Cape Town.
- Thelela (10/5): Outstanding service - Breakfast was super 0
- Claire (10/5): We were welcomed and felt right at home. - The property was beautiful, well maintained and in a fantastic location.
- Aart Jan (8/5): Fijne plek! - Heerlijke plek met genoeg privacy en een zalige tuin. De wifi werkte niet en kon niet worden gemaakt tijdens ons verblijf. Dat was voor ons heel onpraktisch
- Abigail (10/5): Perfect - Good Everything was good
- Grant (8/5): -
- Elza (7/5): Lovely views and friendly staff - We had a lovely stay at De Molen guesthouse. The staff were very friendly, and we also met the owner at breakfast. The rooms were comfortable and met the listing description. The honesty bar is a cosy corner to get together and we greatly enjoyed the hearty breakfast! It's quite a big, old property, so a little cold in winter. Probably a bit more suitable as a summer destination..
- FRANCES (4/5): - Scenery was nice My booking was posted as a no show and my money wasn't refunded it took them 4 days to call and apologize and I was asked to change my rating, im still waiting for my refund, their response was they had to change it to a NO SHOW so I didn't have to pay a cancelation fee but in the mean time the place burnt out I don't like dishonesty. Pay my money then I will change the rating
- Jason (8/5): -
- Jonathan (7/5): -
- Hano (9/5): -
- Patricia (7/5): -
- Pickford (10/5): - It’s an above average guest house that understands the customer and truly knows how to deliver service
- Brian (8/5): - Great spot to be within easy reach of Somerset West and Stellenbosch, but away from the traffic and bustle. Staff accommodating of our needs and helped where they could Loved the locality but for a sports group with sporting equipment (mountain bikes) it was not ideal with regard storage
- Aletta (5/5): Beautiful view but less beautiful inside the units - The location was amazing It was cold and i . It needs new line and should cater for the winter months
- Desiree (10/5): -
- Arendse (10/5): -
- Gabi (8/5): Great place to spent some time - Very friendly staff. We had dinner and breakfast at the guest house and it was very tasty. The duvets are very worn; in many places the filling has shrunk, so they no longer provide warmth.
- Darienne (10/5): Comfortable stay - Second time staying here. Love this guest house 🤗
- Clare (4/5): Disappointing stay in a beautiful location - We stayed in mid winter for 3 nights. The location and views were stunning. It was mid winter and the unit /room we were staying in was bitterly cold. There was an air-conditioner. On arrival in the evening there was no hot water as the geyser in the unit had not been switched on.
The double bed had summer, lightweight duvet and blanket provided was not adequate. I requested an electric blanket but was not provided.
The bathroom door does not open from the inside, so one morning I had to climb out of the window in my pjamas to go to Reception for assistance. This was not fixed during our stay so we had to be careful throughout our stay not to lock ourselves in.
The shower outlet drain was blocked and resulted in flooding.
On arrival I had to pay an additional amount as my room was changed to accommodate my husband who is in a wheelchair. I do not believe we received value for money and overall our 3 night stay was disappointing.
- Sitabile (10/5): fantastic - the host was supper nice he showed us around the room was beautiful
- Alison (10/5): - Had such a lovely stay. Room was super comfortable and cozy and the view was spectacular !!! The hostess was lovely. I will most definitely book again on my next trip !!!!
- Irvine (10/5): Beautiful Property for Quiet Stay - Beautiful location, amazing view. The room was clean and nice. Felt very safe. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Exactly what we were looking for. A bit of a drive from Cape Town, but so pretty and worth it. Can come and go at any time. Property is very well lit. Nice little pool as well. Would highly recommend. I stayed with a partner this time but would have felt safe here as a solo female traveler as well. All good. FYI the bathroom door has a window, which could be a little awkward depending on who you are traveling with but not really an issue at all. Would not necessarily recommend driving back from Cape Town in the dark regularly though, so keep that in mind if you have evening plans there.
- Dimitri (7/5): -
- KURT (9/5): -
- Busisiwe (8/5): The place is stunning and welcoming just few minors to be fixed - The view is spectacular the location is great, the staff is great and the food is spectacular…. The rooms are nice as well. It’s very cold, it would be great if they can fit in carpets in the rooms also a heater or electric blankets or more blankets. It’s very cold because the mountain is just next door. Doors to be fixed as well, they randomly open
We prefer the shower head rather than the tap.
- Lea Magdalena (9/5): all perfect - it was a beautiful place and a beautiful setting
- christina (9/5): -
- Robyn (10/5): - We loved the attention to detail. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous and the staff is just so welcoming and friendly. Nico, you are star!!!
Thank you so much for making our couple's wedding night so special. Nothing
- Ron (7/5): -
- Aubrey (8/5): - Views but was out on a day conference and always came late The short stay
- daniella (10/5): Such a wonderful stay. The staff at the guesthouse are incredibly friendly & helpful. The cottage is beautifully lai - A stunning property.
We were in one of the cottages & had the most exquisite view of the mountain range. Nothing.
It was perfect.
- Linda (10/5): Super but one night not enough - Just everything seemed excellent. Unfortunately our stay was too short - a good excuse to visit again for longer. 😁 N/A
Just a suggestion - hand soap at the basin in the bathroom
- Johannes (9/5): -
- Gerald (6/5): Pros and cons - The cottage we stayed in was at the top of a very steep hill with no place for a vehicles to turn around, so you have to reverse down. Pro is that you get a nice view, but con is that you have schlep to get up there. they wanted me to park my car at the bottom of the hill which I ignored in the end. Quite rustic in the kitchen but the bed and bathroom was ok.
- Rina (9/5): very nice and beautiful and staff very helpful and friendly -
- Edger (8/5): -
- Pieter (9/5): It was truly a pleasant experience, and we would gladly return or recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, friendly, - We had a wonderful stay at this guesthouse! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcomed with their warm hospitality and attentive service. The facilities were spotless and well-maintained, creating a comfortable and relaxing environment throughout our stay. The overall atmosphere was calm and inviting.
For dinner we had the chicken curry which was exceptional. The breakfast the following morning was outstanding.
- Catharina (10/5): -
- Darienne (10/5): House away from home - What an amazing stay. Beautiful guest host with the sweetest host. Felt so welcome.
- Augustin (8/5): -
- DU TOIT (10/5): - Magnificent views and so peaceful there. N/A
- Albien (6/5): Beautiful location but expected more for the price. - It was a beautiful and historical. The breakfast was not good. The snacks were overpriced and they only had mnet on the tv. Would have liked more options.
- Alan (9/5): - The view and location was fantastic, the staff were friendly and would have liked to have had time to have a breakfast in the morning, but had to leave too early. The original room was booked with 2x single beds, but the room only had a queen bed. The staff did offer to rectify and change the bed out with 2 single beds when we went out, but I rather just opted for a 2nd room instead, which they offered at a discounted rate.
- Christiane (9/5): Der Blick von unserem Zimmer war traumhaft - Wunderschön gelegenes Guesthaus mit schönem Garten und Pool
- Yakesh (7/5): Venue is in a beautiful location, nestled against the mountain - Location is great as De Molen is situated up against the mountain with a view of the Somerset Mountain Range. Easy to get to the highways and surrounding areas and beaches We had to request for the accommodation to be cleaned properly as the housekeeper just touched up the basics, not the deep clean we do at home daily. However once the cleaning was done, it was good.
- Paula (8/5): - Great location .. great accommodation.. well furnished .. clean .. peaceful.. good price .. good TV stations
