Lovely guest house in Stellenbosch
Very nice guest house, where I stayed in a large, well appointed and modern bedroom. Breakfast was very good and they offer a selection of delicious hot specials each day. Noleen and the staff are very friendly and professional. Will stay again if visiting Stellenbosch - only a 15 min walk from main hubbub of activity.

Very comfortable room, friendly helpful host. Michael went out of his way to make sure we were happy and had what we needed. Breakfast was very nice, although found the wait staff struggled to understand what we wanted which resulted in long waits for coffee or even missed requests. Fridge in room was fully stocked with a variety of items available for purchase. Also a variety of wines at the property for purchase very handy. I would give this B&B a 4 out of 5.

We came back to the apple tree because we loved it the first time five years ago. Noleen, michael and all the staff are lovely welcoming people and provide a delicious breakfast. There was only one drawback - the hairdryer had a plug which would not fit into any of the sockets in the room. It was not a major problem. Thank you for a pleasant stay.

Nice place
The color of the walls on the photos is different from what it is now. It is still pretty. The booking stated a bath with jets but there were no jets in the bath. We would not have used it due to the water crises, but if water was not a problem, it would not have been nice to be promised something which was not there. The breakfast is very good and the staff very friendly.

Perfect location for a trip to Stellenbosch.
Michael was the perfect host. Nothing was to much trouble for him. We used the wine tasting tour offered by the hotel and it was brilliant. Gustavo the guide was so knowledgeable about the wines and the area. Breakfasts were superb. Highly recommended.

Excellent base in Stellenbosch
We stayed at the Apple Tree for a couple of nights whilst we explored the local wine farms. When we checked in we were given lots of information and advice on restaurants for dinner and we found all the staff really friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed.

Lovely guest house on the edge of Stellenbosch
Lovely welcoming guest house. The owner helped us make dinner reservations and booked a taxi. Honesty bar. Small but idyllic swimming pool. Some noise from nearby student accommodation, but didn't spoil our stay. Excellent breakfast with lots of choice and good service.

Homely guesthouse
Great guesthouse with excellent shared facilities such as the dining room, lounge and pool. Not safe to walk from Stellenbosch town to the guesthouse in the evenings but handy location to the main road to the wineries. Safe, off street parking was great. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Perfect!
We stayed at the Apple Tree for a full ten days leading up to our wedding in Stellenbosch. The staff were extremely attentive and helpful. Nolene (the owner) was super friendly and inviting. For us, it was the perfect start and lead up to our special day. Breakfast was amazing even for vegetarians. Our room was clean, right by the pool, the atmosphere was always chilled out and relaxed which is exactly what we needed. The wireless signal wasn't great unless you were inside and even then it was a bit slow but overall good enough for checking emails etc. Very close to Stellenbosch central (Dorp street etc) where there are a number of fantastic restaurants and shops. Overall just perfect for us, thank you Apple Tree for a fantastic stay.

Wonderful deluge shower
Our room & bathroom (bath& shower) were very clean & well maintained although we could have done with more electric sockets to plug our chargers into.mwifi was not good in the room but excellent in the lounge area. Breakfast was varied with daily specials served by two lovely ladies. The Appletree is in a safe area with security guards patrolling during the evening & night. There is plentiful secure parking at the property. We did not use the swimming pool but it looked very inviting.

The Perfect Guest House
As far as Guest Houses are concerned this must be as good as it gets. We have no negative comments at all Noeline was the perfect host. This is an ideal place to tour the region from and it is only 30 minutes from Cape Town Airport and 20 minutes from Franschhoek. We would return if visiting the area again.

Friendly and courteous
Lovely expereience, made to feel welcome and at home. Both Noeline and Michale are gracious hosts. Excellent breakfast. Only downside was having our room next to the front desk. We didn't have a vehicle and walked to the campus - about 15 minutes for us and we did it duirng the day and at night. While we were okay and generally felt safe, this hotel is probably better if one has a vehicle. It is not as convenient as places closer to campus. Overall though we have no hesitation in recommeding Apple Tree Guest House.

Charming place, good value
This is a charming, petite hotel with petite rooms and swimming pool. The rooms are designed well for short stays. The breakfast is nice and the owner/manager engaging and very helpful. It is a 15 min walk to the university, shops and restaurants but the neighbor is nice and quiet. An overall excellent value.

Spectacular Stellenbosch Stay
We had a wonderful time staying at The Apppletree Guesthouse where nothing was too much trouble. Michael and his mum were great hosts and made us feel right at home. Everytime we asked a question or sought advice the answer was always forthcoming, after diligent research. Every recommendation that was made was wonderful. It made our stay personal and much more interesting. Even restaurant bookings were arranged for us. Everyone was very friendly and professional. Even the tea and coffee appeared without us asking, just the way we liked it. And to top it all off even our car was washed.

Apple Tree Guest House, Stellenbosch - Jan 2012
Nice little guest house, with lovely pool. Decent room, and secure parking. The B&B was a little further out from the town centre than we had realised - about a 15 min walk and not brilliantly lit, which was slightly disconcerting although we did not experience any hassle with the "locals". The service was friendly enough; would recommend Apple Tree Guesthouse to others - although to be honest Franshoek. Robertson and Montagu are nicer places than Stellenbosch to base your stay in the Winelands from

A really nice guesthouse!!
The guesthouse was all in all fantastic and I would definitely stay there again. Service was great, rooms really nice and clean, breakfast good and the price really affordable. Even though the pool is quite small, it's a treat to drink a glass of wine from a nearby winery and watch the day end by the pool. It's a bit far away from the city center (1 km), but it doesn't really matter cause you anyways have to drive everywhere. Lovely place! I recommend.

A Pleasant Guest House with wonderful staff
The most outstanding aspect of the Guest House was the helpfulness of the owner. She gave us wonderful tips about touring and restaurants in and around Stellenbosch. The rooms are small but adequate and there is a small pool available for guests. It is also very convenient to main roads, which makes it easy to explore the surrounding area.
