Comfort, cleanliness and friendliness is what stood out for me when I visited Blaauwheim Guesthouse. Johan and Jo-Anne really made me feel well catered for. The welcome was so friendly and warm as they both ushered me into my suite. I was not disappointed as I felt the warmth as soon as I entered it from my lounge into my... More

At Blaauwheim you really get a sense of South African hospitality. With welcoming hosts, and Afrikaans cuisine it's one of the nicest guest houses I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. My room was spacious and comfortable. The heated towel racks were a win, especially being that my visit was in the colder winter months. The fact that... More

First class standards combined with homely atmosphere. Johan and Jo-Anne preside over a five-star boutique hotel but with the personal attention of a small guest house. And the views from the verandah were wonderful.

We had a fantastic time in Jo-annes and Johanns guest-house. The brakfast was exiting and the couple is always very helpful in organisation or booking restaurants and trips. I travel a lot in SA and I enjopyed the very warm atmosphere in the house with lovley owners and a privat atmosphere in the Shiraz rom with private terasse. Silvia

We had two wonderful days in the Stellenbosch/Somerset region and thanks to the great hints and tips of the hosts we visited plenty of great wineries and restaurants. The guesthouse is lovely decorated and every detail is perfectly matched in style. Breakfast was fantastic with lovely fresh fruit and everything one can desire. Johan, Jo-Anne and their dog and parrot... More

Dear Jen Your review made us feel so special! First impressions count a lot and therefore we are so glad that your first visit to South Africa has been memorable. Yes, indeed, the barbecue with the ostrich fillet was a winner! But you'll have to come back to savour more of Johan's delicacies. Johan and Jo-Anne More
