We stayed here one night and it was too long. The rooms were shabby and were not air conditioned despite assurances to the contrary from the owner. We had to sleep with the windows and balcony doors open all night which was both noisy and not very safe from a security point of view. Additionally, the beds were very uncomfortable... More

We stayed for a couple of nights in a double room. The rooms are spacious with a large sunny balcony and the location is ideal - right in the centre of Stellenbosch and within a few minutes walk of all the restaurants, shops etc. The breakfast served in the coffee shop below is very good. The rooms themselves show a... More

This isn't a bad place at all. Convenient location and the people were very friendly. The room was a good size with a nice big balcony- but it was falling apart a little bit. I'd stay here again,it's relatively inexpensive but maybe slightly overpriced for what it is.

A few friends and I recently booked a room at de oude meul seeking a relaxing night in Stellenbosch. After explaining that three of us would like to share one room, the owner, Arno, kindly insisted on bringing in an additional mattress for us at no extra charge. Together, the three of us split the room for 700 Rand (about... More

Upon a trip to the bathroom in the middle of the night we found a large cockroach. Upon further investigation, there were also some smaller cockroaches and other insects both in the bathroom and in various holes in the woodwork in the main bedroom. Needless to say, we were shocked but resigned to leaving as soon as possible in the... More

This was in fact a harmless house- cricket which had infiltrated the room. This matter, in retrospect, should have been reported to the police. We nevertheless tried to reason with him by offering him a 50% discount as the room had been used ie linen, towels, hot water, tea and coffee. The room had been used. If it was so... More

We stayed at this inn for one night. It was clean and we were happy to be in the center of town for the night. The room in the back has a nice balcony as well. It's definitely not as nice as some of the other places we stayed for the same amount of money. The biggest issues were too... More

The room was small and a bit dinghy, but the towels and linens were top notch! The breakfast was wonderful (and large) making the room rate a great value. I could have used assistance with planning my activities, but service was not available. The lobby is the second floor landing and the rooms surrond the lobby. My room had a... More

Arno and his staff made us very welcome, and were particularly obliging by letting us have an early room after an overnight flight from th UK. Comfortable, clean room with small adjoining sun deck. Free internet access and secure parking spot. Delicious breakfast in the café downstairs. Very centrally located, just a minute from the bars and restaurants.

I had a room at the back which was clean and peaceful. It gave me a lttle 'home - away - from - home' feeling. Breakfast was awesome and location perfect. You can use their computer but there is also free wireless if you decide to bring your own smartphone or laptop!. Other than that...just go and see for yourself...fantastic... More
