The property may be very nice but the section I was in was not very nice at all. There was no one there to greet me and check me in. It was almost self service. After a 16 hour flight, driving from the airport to this place and then not knowing where to check in etc was not welcoming. The keys were complicated. If I went for a walk in town I had to lock my partner in the room and they had no way to get out. I sadly won’t be staying here again. Carmen at the front desk was very nice. I met her on my way out.

This is the second time that I've stayed at this hotel and everything has been wonderful. It's a quiet neighborhood across the street from the Botanical Garden, yet it's a five minute walk into the center of Stellenbosch. The property itself is a comfortable B&B with every detail considered, but overall it's the staff who make every stay there a memorable one.

A wonderful B&B two minutes walk from the heart of Stellenbosch! The hotel
Is an old cozy house with wonderful staff who really make you feel at home. The hotel is across the street from the botanical gardens and a short walk to the heart of Stellenbosch. I couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Charming stay in Stellenbosch
An enjoyable 2 night stay in Stellenbosch at Bonne Esperance. Handy location to town and amenities, across the road from the Botanical Gardens and a comfortable stay with great service. The breakfast choices were excellent.
