Koetsiershuis

The apartment couldn’t be more central with everything you need

Car park is right but you get used to it!

The location is perfect for checking out Stellenbosch, and the parking garage so convenient for access. The best was the balcony where you have a great view of the street and neighbouring museum!

Figuring out the keys and locks was a little challenging but on the flip side it was reassuring to have considering security issues in South Africa.

Clear communication with host prior to arrival and met by Salome with keys and instructions on car park and use of apartment. Friendly welcome including bottle of wine and milk in the fridge. Apartment very comfortable, nice bed, big shower, washing machine and well appointed. Large balcony looking out onto buzzy street. Good air conditioning in both rooms. Great location for all the cafes, restaurants and bars of central Stellenbosch and other attractions (including many of the wineries which are only a short drive/Uber away).

The street can be quite noisy. Most of this is street cafes and passing traffic and pedestrians which didn't bother us and was part of the buzz. The only thing that was slightly annoying when sitting on the balcony was large tour buses idling outside the museum opposite the apartment (but these were usually gone by 6pm). The double glazing in the bedroom is very effective but if you really wanted a very quiet location, this probably wouldn't be the best choice.

It was clean and nicely decorated

It was noisy and there is an restaurant chimney outside that blows food smells continuously The one access is impossible to use at night with the combination lock
