Guest Reviews
- IRENE (6/5): Weltevreden Estate - Lovely setting, welcoming and helpful staff.
- aswane997535 (10/5): Enjoyed - Enjoyed my stay. Beautiful surroundings. Friendly staff. All good. Just a lot of steps to get to the room.
- pmhlom807782 (10/5): Friendly staff - I went there for Solo staycation,warm welcome from the staff starting at the gate.Beautiful and peaceful stay,I felt safe,would definitely go again.
- dsteve835624 (10/5): Study break - Weltevreden was everything I could have hoped for – and more! The service was exceptional, the room absolutely breathtaking, and the tranquil setting offered complete peace. Breakfast was out of this world! Melissa made me feel like I was the only guest there. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a truly special experience!
- bwyss536729 (10/5): A fine stay - We stayed in the self catering cottage. It‘s lovely, clean and quiet with a garden and braai. For the first morning we did not have coffee capsules and towels for everyone. The children loved the play area and making their own pizza.
- jfonseca4206 (10/5): Nice and relaxing - Thank you for a great stay - the estate is very nice, the room we stayed at (loft) was charming. Pity we didn't have time to stay one more night.
- aluft207989 (10/5): Very special atmosphere to stay under the thatchroof - All very well renovated but kept the charme of the old times , great bed great shower , great breakfast and very nice park and surrounding !! Staff very helpfull and friendly
- wesleya49 (4/5): Disappointing - We unfortunately had several issues while staying. These include: 1. We had to request extra towels as only one was left in the room (booking was for 2 people) - this took almost an hour 2. The bath plug did not work, and was only replaced the day after our arrival (when we informed the staff, we were told the manager was off-site and not answering the phone) 3. The taps in the bathroom and kitchen were loose, so the tap has to be held in place when turning the water on/off 4. Half of the lights in the bedroom area did not work and were hanging/drooping down in some areas 5. The milk provided was sour on two separate days 6. There are no blinds or curtains on the door or windows, so there is no privacy. Anyone could walk up the stairs and look into the room at any time (not exactly ideal for a couple's getaway) 7. The bathtub leaked significantly from underneath the bath itself - we had to use several towels as the water even leaks into the bedroom 8. The floors are very slippery, especially with the carpets that are in place - we both slipped a few times 9. The air conditioner leaked water and ice - this was however fixed when we informed the staff 10. There are no extension cords, so if you do not bring your own, you will be charging your phone on the floor 11. Extremely noisy from very early in the morning - staff spoke loudly while walking in before 6am. There was also construction taking place so this resulted in plenty of noise all day. There is a church service on Sundays, where there is singing as well. 12. While the restaurant staff were generally very friendly and helpful, the churchgoers seemed to get preferential treatment on the Sunday.
- OnAir63895510286 (10/5): Romantic Getaway - Fantastic stay, wonderful staff who were very friendly and efficient. Beautiful surroundings and a delicious breakfast
- Travelfreundin (10/5): An oasis close to Stellenbosch - An oasis close to Stellenbosch. Great location, Wonderful staff, good food, lovely rooms, very peaceful
- tbatsc319561 (10/5): Very noch Hotel - We particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfast and the coziness of our rooms. Our Children loved the Carnival playground.
- 144martinn (10/5): Beautiful venue - We enjoyed a lovely weekend staying on the estate in one of the cottages. The accommodation was perfect for our needs looking after grandchildren for the weekend with two bedrooms, a kitchen/dining/ living room and an enclosed garden. Breakfast and lunch were eaten in the restaurant and the service and food were great. The restaurant closes late afternoon so we had takeaway food prepared by them for our evening meals. The venue also has a great children’s play area and lovely grounds for walking in to view the extensive art collection. We will definitely return!
- David (10/5): A great stay close to Stellenbosch - Wonderful one night stay, lovely food but the staff made it, all very friendly and could not be more helpful
- mgille671110 (8/5): Weltevreden Wine Estate - Beautiful old Cape Dutch buildings, period furniture, lovely garden, good food at breakfast and great staff. Felt safe and quiet in the night.
- gnkony133317 (10/5): Amazing - Little heaven on earth, lovely staff from the security to the host. It's always a pleasure staying with you
- 706liesbethk (10/5): Great stay at River Cottage - The Cottage is fabulous and a real luxurious place to be. The personal is great and kind. It is a real shame that the restaurant closes at 17:00. That would have made the stay perfect.
- eholzb473811 (8/5): Sleepover on a Winery - Beautiful location in a beautiful area. Everything was good - only the restaurant closes at 5 pm. But you can easily find one in Stellenbosch.
- 38MG_1944 (4/5): A great disappointment - Although in a picturesque setting, there were many negatives. The outside staircase to my room was very steep and difficult to navigate with luggage (see photo). The room is under thatch with no windows and therefore very dark and dismal. The "bathroom" (not really a bathroom) was part of the bedroom and consisted of a small inconveniently placed basin with bad lighting and a tiny mirror, a simple shower and a loo. Soap and shampoo in a dispenser were available but no facial tissues etc. The only other mirror was a small one on a desk/make-up table. The room was very noisy thanks to non-existent sound-proofing. A meeting of about six people was very clearly taking place somewhere else in the building and went on until midnight. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was in a very cold room. I was given a one page sheet/menu of about ten items. I asked if there was any cereal, fruit and bread and told only what was on the sheet. The second morning I gingerly asked if I could have 2 items on the menu and begrudgingly it was agreed.
- Lyn (10/5): - It’s close to the charming town of Stellenbosch, and has lovely gardens. The rooms upstairs are small and somewhat dark due to the thatch, but they are good value and are in the main house which dates from the 1700’s. There’s no access to indoors common areas in the house though. No pool but great play area for kids! The cafe is darling tho outside so it’s best to come Dec til end March!
- Tracey (10/5): - Very friendly staff and delicious breakfast! Will be back!
- Hendrik (10/5): Friendly service, great food excellent sculptures - Great location with beautiful gardens and an awesome Breakfast spread...
- Elena (8/5): family cottage - We stayed in a family cottage. It was ok compare to other rooms but price is the same. Other rooms much bigger and nicer decorated with fire place. Our cottage was very basic
- Chris (10/5): - Lovely stay here, so kid friendly! Staff and service excellent. Very relaxed and beautiful location and great food. Will definitely recommend to stay here
- George (10/5): Champagne living on our beer budget. - Amazing estate, renovated from the 1800s with modern plumbing & electric. Good value for money.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - After a hectic business trip of 3 weeks, I had the opportunity to spend some time at Weltevreden,before the last week of my trip. The food was great, service excellent, bed comfortable and the shower hot. Just excellent!
- Nathalie (10/5): - Wonderful hidden gem in Stellenbosch area. Beautiful estate with cute and comfortable rooms, good food and wonderful surroundings. Good location for wine tastings!
- Greg (10/5): Comfy! - It is such a beautiful estate and the staff is very friendly, especially Leigh! The restaurant caters for various events from kiddies parties to weddings! The room has a romantic setting with a comfy bed. The Cloetewill rooms are perfect for a group of friends or family as it has a communal section for drinks.
- Mark (10/5): Lovely guest house - Beautiful Estate, comfortable room and a great breakfast
- Jolene (10/5): Weltevreden is honestly the most welcoming place - The staff are so friendly. We honestly felt like a home a way from home
- Wade (10/5): WOW!! - Great hotel! Beautiful setting!
- Angela (8/5): Attic room for rent - The furnishings are great and the best breakfast, hands down. The grounds are quite lovely. The staff are pleasant. FYI, you are staying in an attic. Thinking cobwebs and bugs, yes there are some. The worm thing in the shower was too much. The hot water is inconsistent. After traveling you just want a nice hot shower. Small garbage bin may or may not get emptied and our matching toothbrushes were moved to be right next to each other. No actual bathroom. Just a screen to separate. Do you move it to shower? You really get to know one another here. You are staying in a thatched roof, allergy sufferers beware. These noted items made for some discomfort, or maybe just a good story to tell. It is a unique experience. Just know before you go. You may just love it.
- Mary (8/5): - My husband and I stayed at Weltevreden Estate for two nights while attending a wedding of a friend nearby. The staff are wonderful, so attentive and really friendly and helpful. The grounds are beautiful as was our room and adjoining lobby area. Breakfast was great. The estate is right in the middle of several wonderful wine estates and within a 5 minute drive from beautiful Stellenbosch. Our only problem was finding the place. We arrived after dark and couldn't find the road in the dark. The guard office of the housing estate next door claimed never to have heard of the estate so on that first night we had to go find alternative accommodation as the estate was not answering their phone. Completely our own fault for not letting them know we would arrive late but still upsetting at the time. Once we contacted them in the morning and found the place though our next two nights were lovely!!
- Mari (10/5): Highly recommended! Best location,food and staff - Super cosy place with great atmosphere and the nicest staff! We enjoyed the food, wine and amazing location. The room was lovely, clean and very comfy bed. I would also recommend to book the picnic they offer. Will definetly come back!
- Willem (8/5): Conveniently located. - Rooms set in historic house of Piet Retief. Make arrangements for early breakfast. Comfortable rooms with great breakfast options included.
- Dewald (8/5): amazing service, terrible bathroom - Staff was amazing, property is beautiful however, the toilet is inside the bedroom with a little divider, this should be made more clear on the site as this is not something every couple is comfortable with.
- Aisling (8/5): Huge potential - Beautiful estate, fab room, good breakfast. Unfortunately lack of reception area/staff around during our 3 day stay but has huge potential as its an amazing place.
- Andrew (8/5): Lovely, different place to stay - The welcome and check-in was great. Literally, nothing beyond a big smile and a "let me help you". No paperwork, no documents to be signed. Nothing. The room was very comfortable although, being in an attic, beware your head.
