Guest Reviews
- Lucia (3/5): Very disappointing. Clearly no supervision on staff. - Location 1. There were no towels in my room when I arrived
2. The one rolled up hand towel in the bathroom was dirty?
3. There is a stain on the one duvet
4. We had a sock in our bed!
5. The shower drain is blocked and pools up.
6. Carpet in Molly is horribly dirty.
7. The rooms smells terribly of cigarettes. I am a non smoker.

- Camila Maira (9/5): -
- Juergen (7/5): Ruhige Lage und fußläufig zur Innenstadt - Ruhige Lage und fußläufig zur Innenstadt, war auch abends sicher. Schöner Pool. Frühstück war gut, frisches Obst und frisch zubereitete Eierspeisen. Wir standen vor verschlossener Tür und die Besitzerin hatte keine Telefonnummer hinterlassen. Zum Glück hat uns die Nachbarin geholfen. Kein Kühlschrank vorhanden.
- Caroli (10/5): -
- marius (8/5): great value and location - great location.
- Jan (9/5): - Prima plek om Stellenbosch te bezoeken, klein stukje lopen naar de restaurants. Dicht bij de VVV en het Village museum. Super vriendelijke dames en een heerlijk ontbijt. Kortom als wij weer gaan is dit de plek voor ons om te overnachten.
- Mark (9/5): Stayed twice in a month. Love the location, the staff and the charm of the place. - Fantastic location. Old world charm, traditional style. Lovely courtyard garden with pool. Responsive, friendly staff. Great bathroom, everything worked well, plenty of space. Sorry, the pillows were a bit like rocks. Upgrade those (or at least offer a combination) and the beds would be perfect!
- Anke (8/5): Ein optimaler Ort zum Relaxen in Stellenbosch. - Die Lage ist top, man kann zu Fuß alles erreichen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und der Innenhof sehr friedlich und erholsam. Unser Bett war riesig, doch leider ziemlich hart zum Schlafen.
- Tonny (5/5): - The kitchen where they prepare your breakfast was very dirty.
- Cockcroft (9/5): -
- John (9/5): Lovely stay - Good location, very clean,staff friendly We think it can do with a little TLC. It needs a little love and upkeep
- Katy (7/5): -
- Odelle (7/5): - Check in was convenient but with no one to welcome you it's difficult to ask for things like fresh milk which I think should be standard. The room was spacious and comfortable - Megan was amazing. There wasn't anywhere in the room to work and the dining area was exceptionally stale and stuffy. The breakfast was really poor - I got to breakfast around 8 am most of the stuff was finished.
- Steve (10/5): -
- Carina (9/5): Good value, great location. - Spacious and comfy rooms, a lovely garden to sit and relax. The breakfast was very tasty.
- van der Post (9/5): -
- Ralf (6/5): -
- Annette (10/5): Excellent as always. - This was our 4th time here, speaks for itself! Always a joy to visit and stay here. Very comfy beds and room, and swimming pool was a bonus on a very hot day. Will be back for a 5th visit!
- Kirsten (8/5): Lovely! - Loved the old house. It was lovely and central, staff were excellent. Great stay
- Van Der Veen (8/5): -
- Marianne (9/5): -
- Nicola (9/5): -
- Ek (8/5): - Good service and great pool area that was really clean, good staff and very good breakfast. They even had gluten-free bread which was much appreciated!I really see myself going back!
- Moritz (9/5): Hervorragend - Das Frühstück war herausragend und auf Wunsch wurden frische Eierspeisen zubereitet. Der Check-In lief leider etwas holprig, wobei dies daran lag, dass ich seit Ankunft in Südafrika noch kein Internet hatte. Es empfiehlt sich also vor der Ankunft einmal das Handy mit dem Internet zu verbinden um die Check-In Anweisungen zu erhalten.
- Ploog (8/5): - Lage ist gut. Keine Rezeption, bei Ankunft Haustür verschlossen, obwohl Ankunftszeit vorher angekündigt. Man hatte mir zwar den Türcode per Mail zugeschickt, hatte allerdings kein Internet zur Verfügung. Ausserdem war keine Zimmernummer zugewiesen, so dass trotz Türcode telefonische Kontaktaufnahme erforderlich war. Unprofessionell.
- Christopher (10/5): -
- Paola (10/5): -
- Patrick (8/5): - Die Lage ist sehr gut. Check in und Check out sind völlig problemlos. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich. Der Pool wirkte nicht immer sehr sauber.
- Dide (10/5): -
- eugene (8/5): Fijn verblijf centraal in Stellenbosch - Centrale ligging, rustig, tuin, zwembad, gastvrij Hygiëne minder
- Julian (9/5): Excexcellent location, friendly & helpful staff, comfortable & homely. -
- Bjørn (10/5): Great place to stay - Location, staff and the property IT-selskap Nothing
- Rob & Debbie Richardson (4/5): Due to poor facilities we spent the majority of our time away from the property - The location was perfect Pool and patio was filthy with no umbrella’s for shade. Bathroom flooded when taking a shower due to blocked drain.
- Nellie (6/5): -
- ullikh (7/5): Defekter Pool - Check in war gut,die Lage, die eigene Terrasse leider ohne Sonnenschirm. Der Pool war total verdreckt, wurde am Abreisetag gereinigt. Keine Sonnenschirme.Kein Liegestuhl am Pool
- Caroli (10/5): -
- Margherite (9/5): -
- Maureen (8/5): -
- Senamile (10/5): - Booked for my parents for one night and they absolutely enjoyed their stay🙏🏾
- ROELAND (8/5): Graduation seremony - I have stayed here several times. Comfortable and excellent location within walking distance of everything. Over the weekend there was late night noise from picknickers along the riverbanks opposite the property.
- Liesl (8/5): - The location was excellent. The door to the toilet is broken with no lock.
- Christine (10/5): Staff were wonderful, breakfast delicious and rooms were stunning and big - Everything Nothing
- Marc (8/5): -
- Izzy (10/5): Gorgeous stay in Stellenbosch - We had a great day at Kolonie’s Tuin in Stellenbosch. It was a self check-in which was really easy to follow. We stayed in Cornelia and it was an absolutely gorgeous and spacious room, the bed was super comfy, shower worked great and the doors open to the swimming pool and garden area. The breakfast in the morning was also grey a continental breakfast or cooked breakfast, including French toast and omelettes. We felt really safe in the accommodation too. Wish we’d stayed longer!
- Pierre (10/5): -
- Michal (7/5): - Good location, very close to the centre of Stellenbosch Room dit not have a safe - when we complained about this, the safe was moved from another room to our room (leaving the other room without a safe..)
Cleanliness could be improved
- Tina (9/5): - It was the perfect blend of having the hosts available but not in your face.
The best was that my room opened onto the pool Not at all essential but a little fridge would have a bonus.
- Heidrun (5/5): Overpriced -
- Mats (9/5): A lovely B&B in Stellenbosch. - This is an intimate B&B with walking distance to most of the good restaurants in central Stellenbosch, but still in a very quiet area.
Comfortable bed, nice staff, beautiful old fashioned decor and a possibility to park your car just outside the front door. Our room opened up to the small pool area and garden. Lovely and good price performance. We will come back.
- Pierrette (9/5): Location calme - Location, calme grande chambre
- PIERRE-LOUIS (8/5): Bonne adresse pour une nuit. Authentique. - L’emplacement est top, ville accessible à pieds. Literie confortable, personnel accueillant. Bon rapport qualité prix. La piscine n’était pas très propre.
- Erika (7/5): For such an expensive place in such a lovely area I expected that everything would have run smoother - The breakfast was delicious, and the staff were super helpful and friendly. The shower was blocked, the milk in the fridge was sour and the electricity went off in the evening due to no units on the prepaid box
- Elena (9/5): -
- Beth (8/5): NIce location; comfortable room; no proprietor on premise for problems; swimming pool was dirty - The location was very good; easy to walk to the main street and restaurants. The breakfast was individually prepared and tasty. The bed was very comfortable and the room was clean, well supplied and spacious. Airconditioning worked! There was no one to show us our room when we arrived. We had to wait for a guest to come out of the property so that we could get in the locked front door and there was no reception. I called the number in the booking.com message several times and there was no answer. Finally the proprietor responded in a text or What's App that she had sent a video with this information but I had not been aware of this. She resent it. Just be aware if you stay there that there is no reception when you enter so you need to get the information ahead of time. The swimming pool was very dirty - unusable. We also could not figure out how to turn on the lights by the bed and there was no instruction about how to do that and once again, no one responded to an inquiry on What's App. There were stains on one of the towels.
- Allison (10/5): Perfectly located, stylishly curated, home from home. Annelize and Megan were fabulous hosts. - Perfectly located, stylishly curated, home from home. Annelize and Megan were fabulous hosts.
