I had a room in "cottage" A, ie closest to the main building, up on the 2nd floor, no elevator, and a huge piece of luggage to carry up the stairs. I only have good things to say about my room, clean, nice, everything in order, with fantastic view of a vineyard! The hotel is more like small "cottages" separate... more

Ok - the main gripe first. The location of this place is awful if you don't have a car. I ended up staying there for 3 nights on a business trip and felt pretty stranded. If you fancy going for a short walk, the nearby 'sights' are a business park. Stellenbosch centre is a good 10-15 minute drive away. Breakfasts... more

We reserved the Protea hotel as our last night destination in South Africa prior to flying home from Cape Town early the next day. We were well aware the hotel was not in the centre of Stellenbosch, but it is further out than we thought: around 10-15 minutes drive. Having said that, we managed to find the hotel in the... more

I stayed here for a conference, based on the recommendation of the conference organisers. The good news first. The rooms are fantastic. I had a lounge, kitchenette and a bedroom, with great views of nearby mountains and vineyards. The hotel, however, felt like a prison. If you don't have your own transport, which I didn't, then you are basically stuck... more

Staying over new year, we had a ball in this hotel. We had a hire car, however, the hotel were able to organise a very friendly taxi for wine tours and journeys into town for the evening. Hotel is surrounded by vineyards and several tours can be taken on foot. Main restaurant does a good breakfast in a very pretty... more

stayed here a few times now and cant fault it except the shutting of the bar,when you've been out all day and you want a nice drink especially the designated driver you get back and the bar shuts at ten. not sure what this is all about as its not a young revellers place to stay and drink to the... more

This is a lovely hotel, very smart, and when we were there, quite new I think. Here comes the "but" and it is not the hotel's fault and they did give us a discount. We think the vines surrounding the hotel had recently been sprayed so all the caterpillars had escaped and were everywhere in the hotel, on the curtains,... more

It is located just outside of Stellenbosch, so you do need a car (you will probably be exploring the winelands anyway!) The hotel is set right at the edge of a vineyard, spread over a large park-like area. It is clean, modern, well appointed with huge comfortable rooms and good security. Great breakfast and the restaurant can be recommended for... more

We have stayed there twice in 2006 and it was great! Both stays were for a week. (September and December) We are a family of 2 adults and 3 children under 5 years. We got the one bedroomed unit, it had a king size bed in the bedroom and 2 beds were placed in the living area. They put a... more
