This is no Guest House! I have stayed in hotels claiming to be 4* in the UK and they do not even come close to this beautiful house. The attention to detail was wonderful. We were welcomed personally, provided with a refreshing drink in the lounge and pampered us for the rest of our stay.
The room was large, very flowery with an en-suit bathroom to dream of! We had views on 3 sides of the room with large windows overlooking the mountains in the distance – truly beautiful. There are no tea and coffee facilities in the room because they say that they are there “to spoil you” and if you want anything at any time just ask and they will look after you –when my husband asked for an iron, they arrived at the door took away his shirts and returned them 15 minutes later beautiful pressed!
The staff were very friendly and very helpful. Being a guesthouse there is no restaurant for dinner, but they have a detailed menu list of the restaurants in the town for you to read at your leisure. Once you have selected where you want to eat they will even make the reservation for you. Its safe and easy to walk into town, but it will take you about 30 minutes. Whilst we were heading off along the Garden Route they even made some recommendations for stops on the way, including a café style restaurant called the Whale-Station in Betty’s Bay which I would highly recommend – especially if you like huge steaming pots of delicious mussels. Does not look much from the front by def worth heading inside! (By the way Betty’s Bay is the better than place to see the Penguins!).
They had a beautiful pool area at the front of the house – just a shame that it was not quite warm enough during our stay to enjoy it!
Stellenbosch was a wonderful place to visit, we only wish we had more time to stay there and explore all the vineyards in the surrounding area – especially the tasting bit!
