Nice rooms. Pity about the details.
Pros:

- Beautiful surrounds
- Room spacious and comfortable beds
- good aircon in room
- lovely breakfast on the terrace

Cons:

Addressed with Management after check out (was only a one night stay) but essentially:
- they prepped the room for two and we were three on the booking (housekeeping missed the brief so only two towels and only two waters and room service closed when we returned late at night to only find the then)
- very leaky shower that wouldn’t run hot water no matter yow long we stood there and waited (sadly also only found out when we woke up in the morning
- despite advertised “smart TV” - with instructions in the room - sadly our room had been overlooked for this “upgrade” at time of our stay. So we searched in vain late that night looking for entertainment.

Whilst none of these issues could be directly remedied a token maybe breakfast voucher offer would have been a nice touch. As it was all we got an email assuring us that all those issues were resolved - great news for the next guests.

Overpriced! Glad I went but will look for somewhere quieter and more value for money in future.
Pros:

Close to Stellenbosch. Picturesque. The staff member made an effort to correct the room set up after it was not correct. The waitron also made an effort to get the breakfast corrected as the egg temperature was incorrect. Staff members were friendly. The room was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The facility is old which is to be expected. Unfortunately the room wasn't made up as per request (due to room change) however this was corrected late at night on arrival. My family member was there on her birthday. There was not any special effort made to acknowledge her birthday, despite informing and even on their documentation stating (where required) that there was a special celebration. The rooms are unfortunately not sound proof (specifically due to the wooden flooring) so if you are a light sleeper, you can hear people walking around on the floor boards.

A good stay for what we wanted
Pros:

A lovely relaxed setting in the gardens away from the busy town but close enough to be there in no time!

Cons:

The staff were all very friendly but perhaps need some better work flow systems in the dining room. Dinner was ok but not exceptional.

A wonderful stay with friendly, attentive staff who made me feel at home.
Pros:

I just have to say how impressed I am with the staff here. They’re genuinely friendly, quick to respond to calls and requests, and always attentive. They handle things promptly, listen carefully, and even keep the atmosphere light and happy with their warm personalities. It’s rare to see a team that combines professionalism with such kindness and fun energy

Cons:

Honestly, there wasn’t anything I didn’t like

A peaceful country hotel close to Stellenbosch and Cape Town
Pros:

The view of the valley from our room was exceptional. We loved the peace and quiet here. The restaurant served excellent food and the portions were always far too big for us! The gardens and the pool below the hotel were a peaceful place to pass the time. The hotel is also very close to central Stellenbosch (with a car). We have already booked again.

Cons:

Nothing.

Pros:

Beautiful location and surrounding, friendly and helpful staff

Cons:

The pool was very murky and a thin layer of oil floated on top. I’m not sure they clean it often considering it’s peak summer, and usage is high, it should have been cleaned daily.
