I stayed here one or two nights with my dad. Location is pretty good with centre of town in walking distance. The rooms were little disappointing , but this might be related to price level. I stayed in more expensive places on other days of my trip. Pool area looked nice but we were there in off season so did... More

We were in the area for only two nights but Peter was absolutely superb in ensuring that our short stay was the best it could be. He sorted out tickets and taxi to Amazinc (great show) and sorted a wine tour with hardly any notice - nothing was too much trouble. The Art Room was fun - small, but comfortable... More

The premise is amazing an laid back! 10 min walk to the city centre. The host is totally friendly and gave us many advices on what to do and where to eat out. Breakfast was nice, the rooms spacious and clean and the pool was fairly big. Overall a great place to stay, highly recommended.

The hospitality of the staff at The Beautiful South is very much its strong point. During our stay they were uniformly helpful and accomodating and certainly helped us get the most out of our brief stay in Stellenbosch. However, if you can feel a "but" coming here, you are not wrong..... The problem mainly lies with the rooms (or at... More

Great place and nice people and they know plenty of all the wineyards around Stellenbosch. Pool area is nice and the breakfast was, maybe not spectacular, but contained everything you would need. We stayed in the three room suite on the 2nd floor and it was truly amazing.

We landed up at this bed and breakfast by fluke and it was amazing. The rooms are comfortable, beautifully and tastefully decorated and the breakfasts were wonderful, although a bit different to your usual bacon and eggs. Our hosts and the staff were really friendly, helpful and just lovely people. Please consider staying here - it is money well spent.... More

We had a lovely stay in Stellenbosch for our honeymoon in May 2012. Our hosts, Peter and Katarina, were welcoming and always available to give you recommendations for restaurants or wine visits. You could tell they really loved the area and were always willing to give you directions or advice. We stayed in one of the rooms right off the... More

Conveniently close to the centre of Stellenbosch; the wine estates and the airport for our last 2 nights in SA. The pool and garden area was very nice and very enjoyable in the sun. Breakfast at the communal tables was enjoyable and the "catch of the day" variations were an enjoyable touch. We saw little of Minna and Frederick, even... More

We stayed at The Beautiful South for 4 nights in the Umdeni Suite - it was very spacious with a very comfortable bed and a large bathroom - the shower pressure was fantastic!

The room was under the eaves and had no air-conditioning, only a fan, and we had to climb a steep metal staircase, and the bathroom was across the small landing. The pool was very nice but the whole outside are was very crowded.
