Nice location
Rooms need refreshing, service slow and breakfast average
6.0 / 10.0
Nice pool areas and grounds.
Our room and furnishings were very outdated - not 5 star standard or good value for money. Service at breakfast was slow and the food underwhelming.

Absolutely beautiful hotel, very stylish decor. All of the te were so helpful, kind and friendly. Top class service.
Only thing I would like improve is the shower in our room needs to be regrouted.

IT is a lovely place with the most amazing staff, an awesome breakfast and the best pool area’s in Stellenbosch. Very close to the center and completely safe.
IT really needs restoration. The buildings are beautiful, old English style but the layers of paint can’t hide the damage. Restore it and you’re one of the most beautiful places.

Lovely old properties, stylish and comfortably appointed reception rooms; two swimming pools and attractive outside spaces. Great location next to the river (walks) and a stone’s throw from town.
Would be nice to have a small fridge/mini bar in room

Staff were friendly and common areas were good.
The room was very tired, especially the bathroom which urgently needs a make over.

The public rooms and reception were comfortable and well maintained.
Our room (no.16) was cramped and dated and needed updating to match the rest of the hotel. The river view is a fallacy. Our window looked out onto the car park and the main road. There is a river across the road but it can’t be seen from the room. I asked if there was an alternative room but was informed they were fully booked.

The historical homes are beautifully decorated, embracing the history of the homes but in a way that is timeless and still has modern conveniences. The staff were knowledgeable, attentive and professional

Location was brilliant - around a 3 minute walk and you’re in the centre of Stellenbosch but also away from the hustle and bustle so it’s nice and quiet. Staff were lovely and always available for any requests!

The staff were friendly and helpful.
Everything else was NOT 5 star and in no way luxurious. The pool area and sun loungers were OK.
10.0 / 10.0
The room was stunning and we appreciated the detail and decor. We so loved sitting by the pool in the morning to enjoy our breakfast - such a great start to the day. The old world charm with great service was a winner for us.
5.0 / 10.0
Nice pools, nice decor. Breakfast.
Pool guy rolling up used towels and putting them back on loungers. No fridge in room. Pain flecks on bathroom floor (not cleaned properly). Bed hard as a brick. Full fat or almond milk only. Some staff really hopeful, others utterly disinterested.

It’s just so elegant, yet feels just like home. The staff are down to earth friendly and treat you as if they’ve known you. I also got a ‘welcome back’ in the morning for breakfast. Just a beautiful haven all round
Wish I could stay longer

We arrived at around 10am and the staff were so lovely and helpful, they allowed us to check into our room early and enjoy breakfast before our day of visiting wineries. We were on our honeymoon and they arranged a special surprise in the room. The breakfast was great, we enjoyed relaxing by the pool and the hotel cat Caroline was very friendly! Thank you !

The hotel is lovely, so many areas to relax outside your room and the staff were very accommodating, good central location
Our room was really tiny. Once we had our two suitcases open we had to step around everything and it was a real nuisance. We'd have been struggling for room with just one case open. The bathroom window wouldn't shut and the window casing was really dirty. There were no tissues which seems insignificant but I don't like blowing my nose or wiping my face on toilet paper. I would struggle to call it a 5 star experience based on the room but everything else was fine.

The staff is incredible. Great service from kind people. The location is perfect, very peaceful but right next to Dorp Street and a lot of nice restaurants. We loved it here!

Very comfortable and well decorated. Staff were excellent. Very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and good quality.
No electric blankets on the beds, and the room in the front needed a privacy/light curtain as it feels exposed to the road.
