We were not made to feel special.
Pros:

Beautiful setting and my family have been going to Devon Valkey for over 50 years

Cons:

We had to ask for a fire to be light in the beautiful bar/lounge area in the middle of May and were told that a fire can only be light subject to a certain no. Of guests. It was then only light! We had to leave the lounge area at about 9.30 pm as the bar was closed and sit in the diningroom to finish our special evening. This is not good hospitality.

Pros:

Das jeweilige Abendessen war sehr lecker. Und die Weine der angrenzenden Güter vorzüglich.

Cons:

Für eine Weingegend, versteht das Personal herzlich wenig von Wein.

The front office and barman need to be empowered to make the right decisions on the night
Pros:

Very peaceful and beautiful location and have been a guest there for over 5 decades with my family

Cons:

We had to request for a fire to be light in the beautiful lounge / bar area in the early evening and were advised that the owner has a directive that a fire can only be light subject to a certain minimum no. Of guests. This is not acceptable when an overnight stay for 4 guests is still a significant amount of hard earned money. The fire was then light when I voiced my absolute displeasure. We had to vacate the beautiful warm bar after dinner, and before we were ready, and sit in the diningroom to finish our evening.

Pros:

This time the accommodation was for my Mother. However we have stayed at this Hotel on several occasions.
Always an excellent choice for the Stellenbosch area.

Schöne Lage mit Mängeln des Managements
Pros:

Schöne Lage mit altem Baumbestand, direkt in einem Weingut. Nahe am Flughafen. 30 Minuten

Cons:

Man muss das Gepäck selbst vom Auto bis zum Zimmer schleppen und das sind 250 Meter. Das Zimmer ist einrichtungsmässig in die Jahre gekommen, aber ok. Nicht ok ist, dass Tisch und Stühle auf der Terrasse nicht gereinigt sind, in schlechtem Zustand und der Aschenbecher nicht geleert. Zimmer 38

Most enjoyable
Pros:

Amazing venue with very friendly staff, especially the receptionist / host upon arrival. The environment was peaceful and most enjoyable. The tomato soup was probably the best we have ever had!

Cons:

The room was a little small, but nothing to be negative about, I would just ask specifically for a larger room next time.
