It felt like being at home. I loved the cycling.

Beautifully clean and ideal for a vacation in and around Stellenbosch.
As with many properties of this age, some modernisation is needed but I would certainly return.

Fiona has taken care of every little detail to make sure that you enjoy every moment at Summerwood. Sometimes you are lucky enough to stay somewhere that makes you feel at home while exceeding your expectations.
If you can book here you will not be disappointed.
A special mention for Portia, who takes care of you at breakfast and looks after you so well.

Everything was just perfect, starting with the Host Fiona and her team who super friendly and always available to help. The nice decoration of the hotel with all the beautiful details makes you really feel special. The garden and the pool are manicured and the breakfast is freshly cooked to order - we will come back for sure - Thanks for this great experience Fiona !

This was a good stay, in particular because Fiona, the proprietor was so very kind and helpful. She went out of her way to make sure that we had everything we needed. She had little things on hand like chargers for those of us who forgot our adaptors. She offered other rooms if we had wanted them but we were happy with what we had. Everything was beautifully clean.

Lovely setting and location. Fiona was a brilliant host , friendly and informative about the area. Delicious breakfasts overlooking the beautiful garden and pool. Lots of shade from the trees which was welcome. Easy to walk into Stellenbosch . Spacious room and very comfortable. Loved the friendly bunny.
Small grouse but thought it petty to charge for water in bedroom given the overall price!!

Overall everything was very well prepared and the property is still in excellent condition.
Almost everything was just fine, though perhaps the room furnishings were a little basic.

The perfect place to stay with an easy walk to the centre of Stellenbosch and its great restaurants. The guest house is beautiful, breakfast was delicious, staff are lovely and Fiona is a fabulous host. The free bikes were an added bonus and we enjoyed cycling to a couple of local wineries. We could not have wished for more and we are already planning a return visit.

Our stay at Summerwood was exceptional! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and provide travel tips (even for future travel outside of Stellenbosch)! The location was perfectly safe, particularly for morning runners, and a nice walk into the main town. Summerwood was one of the highlights of our trip!

We absolutely loved Summerwood Guest House. After a warm welcome, we got a very comfy room and enjoyed all the little amenities Fiona prepared to make us feel home.
Thanks for these fantastic days at your house. This was the best accommodation we had in 4 weeks traveling through South Africa!!!

The choice for breakfast was varied and healthy, freshly cooked with plenty of fresh juice & coffee. All served by delightful staff with a great smile. The hosts were engaging and informative, giving great advice on vineyard visits. A lovely experience on our 1st visit to Stellenbosche.
Nothing not to like!

After staying at summerwood for 2 nights I wish we had stayed longer. It's a 15 minute walk/3 min drive to the center square. We had received a video of how we got to our room hours before we got to the guesthouse. We were so lucky to choose this accommodation out of the long list available. Quiet. Quaint and top quality. The cute rabbits in the garden were a big icing on the cake

Fiona was excellent and checked on me to see if all was good. We were up and down for work so i don't believe we gave this location the time and effort it deserved. So some of my rating is not because i didn't think is was excellent - it was just that we didnt invest the correct amount of time there to give us a true reflection.
I loved the green garden and pool - and Fiona's hospitality will allow me to go back there.
No load shedding back up.
