Really a great getaway right in the heart of the peninsular. Restaurant was very good (even though we only had breakfast). ##### Grant Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew Jan 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Blissful start to any holiday Beautiful room (no.6).

Highly recommend ##### Michele Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Don Jan 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Nice little complex, friendly staff and restaurant attached served up an excellent dish. Just down the road from wineries and easy access to main roads. We had to leave early for a flight and staff happily assisted with bringing us breakfast the night before. Easy drive to Cape Town airport. ##### Don Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Llewellyn Apr 3, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service This place is a joke. When I tried to call ahead to check in at 18:00, no one answered at the reception desk. No one answered the after-hours number either after 18:00, so I didn't travel through as we had a baby with us. They refused to refund me even though I couldn't check-in. Rather go to Airbnb or a hotel. Expedia couldn't hold this place accountable once they'd taken my money. ##### Llewellyn ### 8/10 Good #### Hans Cramer Jan 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Good place outside Stellenbosch A very nice place. The check-in, staff in the restaurant etc is so friendly. But it seems a bit run down - especially the swimming pool area and the sun-beds. It's a shame since the garden and the park is such a nice area. ##### Hans Cramer Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Dr. Horatiu Jan 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Dr. Horatiu Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### judy, Sydney Australia Mar 8, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### comfortable guest house Well situated for access to Somerset West Franschoek and stellenbosch etc.. no complains staff friendly room comfortable ....our only reservation was the pesky mosquitoes in the room which really require to be addressed.

We hadden een mooi ruim huisje met privé terras. Het ontbijt was prima. In de mooie tuin een zwembad met lekkere stretchers waar het goed toeven was. Het restaurant bij het guesthouse heeft een prima keuken lekker gegeten. ##### Monica ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 24, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort really relaxing stay and staff were very friendly and helpful, although we had a flood in in our bedroom due to a storm the staff attended to it with efficiency and were most helpful ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 9, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Lummigt och prisvärt på landet Hemsidan gör inte hotellet rättvisa, området är större och mysigare på riktigt. Att man har pool (om än liten) framgår knappt och att det ligger en utmärkt restaurang på området kan inte poängteras nog. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudia Dec 19, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Romantik pur Herrliche Sonnenuntergänge von der Veranda aus zu geniessen mit Blick über die Rebberge - einfach wunderschön. Toll, dass das Restaurant gleich mit im Komplex ist, so braucht man nicht mehr Auto zu fahren und kann auch ein Gläschen mehr trinken. ##### Claudia ### 8/10 Good #### Bridget Feb 7, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Bridget ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harriet, usA Jan 4, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great place to stay, lovely staff, very reasonable price ##### Harriet ### 8/10 Good #### Craig Nov 17, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness ##### Craig ### 10/10 Excellent #### JH, Pretoria Oct 15, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Louis and Jacky We had a lovely stay. Fantastic surroundings. The breakfast was the best I had in a long time and I am difficult to please. ##### JH ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen Sep 24, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A pleasant place to stay This guest house is in a lovely area, also convenient for visiting the Winelands and the False Bay coast. The gardens are very attractive. Our room was large, the bed was comfortable and the modern bathroom spacious. The staff were all very pleasant. There were some small details which would improve the accommodation - somewhere sit to use a laptop (they have free wi-fi), hang up a wet coat and a waste basket would be useful. Breakfast was ok but rather surprisingly no fresh fruit is available. ##### Stephen ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 30, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent all round business or pleasure The staff was friendly and accomidating.
