“Great place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2012

We only stayed for 1 night but the staff were very friendly - we were early but were able to leave our cars. They also let us leave them well past checkout the next day. They recommended restaurants and made a reservation. It was very clean and we had a great breakfast. It is situated close to town and it... More

We spent 2 wonderful nights here under the discreet but attentive care of Renee and her lovely team. Our first trip to SA and we were made to feel very welcome, even though we arrived way too early for check-in, we were offered breakfast, fresh coffee and our room was ready in no time. Nothing was too much trouble and... More

“Lovely Bed and Breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 April 2012

I can't say enough about Rusthuiz Guest House. My only regret is that we could only stay for one night. This was our last stop before returning to the States. Beautiful and immaculately clean accommodations, and very nice young woman who greeted us and served our breakfast. I highly recommend this place if you're ever in the Stellenbosch area.

“Loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 March 2012

We loved it so much we extended our stay! The location is within walking distance of the shops and restaurants of Stellenbosch. Rene and her staff of young ladies were most pleasant. They had wonderful recommendations for restaurants, wineries and tours and offered to make reservations when required. The rooms on the front are large and have a wonderful balcony.... More

Extremely nice and helpful people. They made us feel at home. Only 15 minutes walk to the center of Stellenbosch. Don't miss the Kayamandi "sweet home" Township walking tour and enjoy the excellent dishes at a Xhosa home. Ask the staff for organisation.
