Very relaxed and easy going ambiance - very clean and friendly staff, good breakfast. Rooms are small but doable and the cleanliness makes up for that. Well situated - walking distance from town, also safe parking.

The place is affordable and the staff is friendly but there is room for improvement. The reception helped us with booking a great wine tour and ordering food that was very good. The AC did not work in both rooms we booked, they told us it would be fixed tomorrow. It was a very warm day and it was an... More

Booked this accomadation based on the other trip advisor reviews and was not disappointed. We had a ground floor room directly in front of the pool area which had lovely views. The whole ambience of the place is very relaxed and informal. There is plenty of outside seating available where you can enjoy the gardens and bring in your own... More

We were very warmly welcomed and thought to ourselves what a great find, friendly and central! Unfortunately the next morning at breakfast we had a rather big shock. There was no clean and set table to sit at, the buffet table was empty and no one in sight to assist. Having gone to the kitchen twice just to order a... More

The girl who checked us in was helpfulness and good service personified! The room and bathroom were of a good standard with all that we required. The guest house is also a short... More

This guest house was satisfactory for the money we paid. The room was small and we booked a Classic Room which was described as being larger than the standard room. It was still quite small. We were told that there was underfloor heating but the thermostat on the wall looked as if it had not been in used for years.... More

The location is great - five minutes walk from shopping and just about every good restaurant and bar in Stellenbosch. Rooms are simple, clean, quiet and comfortable and a hot breakfast is a bonus at the price. Downstairs rooms are small but OK for a short stay, upstairs rooms are larger and have a nicer outlook. Lovely, helpful front office... More

We stayed two nights here. Hotel room is basic and staff appeared to be friendly. However, no matter how good the deal is, I won't recommend any one staying in this guest house. We have US$400 in a wallet and US$100 went missing after the room was tidied up by the cleaners. We complained to the manager and shesaid the... More
