We stayed here for 2 nights while visiting Stellenbosch for a friend's wedding. Our guest suite was gorgeous and so comfortable. It was very spacious, bright and airy, with a seperate dining/kitchenette area (stocked with teas, coffee & rusks-missed while living outside SA for 4 years!), HUGE luxurious bed and large beautiful bathroom. We also had access to a beautiful... More

After 10 days away from home, her guesthouse felt exactly like home. The rooms are perfectly decorated. Great and comfortable bed with high quality linens. The bathrooms were modern... More

Our stay was too short, unfortunately! This is a lovely guest house with superior accommodation. We booked all four rooms for a couple of nights and it could not have suited us better. Location is about 10 minutes from central Stellenbosch in a quiet residential area. The rooms are all excellent, all have balconies, tastefully decorated, good en-suites and comfortable... More

Apart from the fresh white linen, quality matrasses and duvets, I just loved the fresh roses in my room, from her fine garden. I loved the freshy home made rusks at the coffe corner. And for once someone put a large enough hairdryer in the... More

We stayed 2 nights at this great guesthouse which is about 5 minute drive from the centre of Stellenbosch. Room was 1st class with a huge comfortable bed, clean bathroom, flatscreen TV and a share little kitchen (with wine, beers and softdrinks). Breakfast was perfect with a good selection of fresh fruit and freshly cooked bacon and eggs. Highly recommended!
