    I honestly have nothing I would change. It was a super experience all round!

    The most perfect location! I felt so safe walking in and out of central, literally a 3 minute walk down a Main Street and you’re in the heart of Stellies. Super well decorated and homely atmosphere plus the most welcome host and host pup!

    There is a construction site next door and probably good to give guests a heads up.

    Great location, awesome management and attention to detail. Wasn't my first time there and will be back. PS the sherry in the room is a nice touch and was appreciated walking back to the hotel on a cold wet evening.

    We did not have breakfast there but we know the owner is an excellent cheff and would love to try her breakfast next time.

    Superb guesthouse. Bold but beautiful. Amazing attention to detail. Owner went that extra mile to make it feel like home away from home.

    A cleaning fee was charged after we had left which caused confusion but it was soon sorted out .

    Beautiful decorated, great rooms with self catering facilities. Breakfast looked great but we didn’t sample as we eat later. Brilliant location … just a short and safe walk to the centre…?also provided parking which can be difficult. Lovely owner and staff

    There was confusion with our final bill , but was soon sorted out .

    The location was wonderful, just a short and safe walk away from the heart of Stellenbosch.The parking was easy too. We did not have breakfast but it did look amazing. The whole place was decorated beautifully and we all loved our rooms. If we are lucky enough to return, I would definitely like to stay again.

    Margie and her staff made our stay really special. Such a great team. The location is perfect for central Stellenbosch and Margie is great at helping with everything we needed. This and she are special jewels in the midst of a lot of properties. We will certainly go back to stay again on our next visit.

    The bedrooms & bathrooms are a little dated but that didn’t spoil our stay.

    Margie the owner was amazing. So friendly & helpful, plenty of advice about places to go & even made a restaurant reservation for us when we were told they were full. Always left wine & snacks out in the evening for us & nothing was too much trouble.
