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.

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.

Gezellig en goed Guesthouse.
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.

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.

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.

Good Pick

Carmen was very efficient at helping us anytime we had questions. Carmen, thanks for arraging the car rental + posting our mail. Helen, thanks for booking the safari in Aquila.
