Patrick and Hélène-Marie are very friendly and nice hosts ! I traveled in the Western Cape with my sister in August 2011, and we stayed for a full week at Stannards, which was a great idea because of all the walks and activities you can do from there.

Stannards Guest House has a warm atmosphere, wonderful rooms and a lovely host family! We really enjoyed the stay and we recommend the establishment!
