This is truly a hidden gem of a Boutique Hotel in Stellenbosch; the hospitality of the staff and management is classic five-star and then some. We stayed there at the beginning of Easter Weekend and on Easter Friday were surprised with a Breakfast Wine Box to true five-star standards... And! the General Manager himself was there to pack them; what a Mein Host with a supporting staff of true hosts that take care of every need you may have. Go ahead, stay there the next time you go to Stellenbosch...

We had room 10 and it was amazing. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious and the decor was beautiful, very "Cape Dutch Architecture". We had breakfast at the restaurant next door and the food was great. We felt safe walking the area, a security guard was patrolling the main road.

Although I only had the opportunity to stay one day, everything was very enjoyable. The rooms were so well adapted and luxurious. The breakfast was so good. Variety and quality was really good. The outdoor area where we dined was beautiful. Will definitely be back!

Wonderful boutique hotel, just a short walk from the town centre. The rooms are bigger than appear in online photos and very nicely fitted out. Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. A great location from which to explore Stellenbosch.

This relatively new hotel is amazing! On a quiet street only minutes from the centre of town, it is an oasis of comfort with beautiful spacious rooms with everything you need including a large fridge, and a coffee pod machine. Although my room was next to the road, the double glazing made it very quiet. The hotel itself has a lovely terrace and lounge with 24Hr tea and coffee as well as an honesty bar and a plunge pool. Although there is no restaurant, breakfast is served in a restaurant just next door which also offers dinner but the hotel is also only a stones throw from many excellent restaurants in the town. Very importantly in this time of load shedding, the hotel and restaurant have a generator which means that there is no interruption to power at these times. Had 4 nights there and would have loved to stay for longer. Definitely somewhere I would like to go back to

This is truly an excellent hotel in Stellenbosch. It is around 1km walk from the main restaurants and bars. The rooms are beautiful and airy, the whole decor of the hotel is delightful and very in keeping with the buildings original purpose. The pool is small but perfectly formed and the pool area is immaculate. The honesty bar is well stocked and a great area to sit in. We had breakfast both mornings and dinner one night at the hotel and all was delicious. I will definitely be returning to this hotel, my o my complaint was I didn’t stay long enough.

Hint Travel from Franshoek after doing the Vista Hike at Mount Rochelle, into Stellenbosch and you will be greeted by beautiful surroundings before arriving to your destination. Upon arrival we were greeted with a warm welcome and a refreshing smile from Marcalino with a glass of sherry perfect for a winters day. The check in was quick and efficient, services and amenities explained in detail. Shortly after check in we were escorted to our room by reception, with an in room explanation on how the fire place works along side all the other services the room has to offer. The room ticks all the boxes from fresh feel, stylish design, heater in the bathroom with a separate shower and bath geared up for absolute luxury. The scenery is really beautiful to take a long walk up Dorp Street 200m away from your room. Stunning little restaurants and bars available for a little romantic evening. We enjoyed dinner at the Volkskombuis Restaurant where we dinned in absolute luxury with a fire pit on the go. The ambiance is truly geared up for family and friends or a romantic evening together. Check out was quick and effortless. Definitely the place to stay when touring Stellenbosch perfectly snuggled into the town and close to all wineries.

Hotel is ok.room is nice.it is bordering a busy road . Currently waiting for the next leaf/nut to drop on the tin roof and keep us awake most of the night! Room should not be let at this time and is expensive so should be better. Couldn’t move us and apologised

This is a small hotel, with a very personal approach to guests. Our room was compact, but featured everything we needed. The adjacent De Volkskombuis serves an exceptional breakfast, and memorable dinner. It's a short walk to Central Stellenbosch, with a huge choice of restaurants and coffee shops. Highly recommended as a base while you explore, or work in Stellenbosch and the surrounding area.
