Very good

A relaxing stay with the best breakfast

We had a lovely stay. The manor is a nice property with lovely gardens and very well located for visiting the surrounding wineries. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was sublime, especially the home made scones. Well recommended.

We had one of the ground floor rooms which could do with a refurb. The plumbing in the bathroom was quite noisy. But overall the property is very nice and our stay was comfortable. The rooms on the upper floor looked very nice from what we saw.

Very hospitable host and lovely breakfast with gorgeous garden.

Breakfast was lovely - yoghurt and granola and fresh fruit plus hot options. Also lovely pastries and home made scones. Nice juices and a lovely big pot of tea. The bed and pillows were the best I have ever had on any travels. If I could have brought both back home with me, I would have! The owner is extremely nice and very generously let us have breakfast 45 minutes early so we could make it to our plane in the morning. Very close to town although next time we would probably stay in town so we can roll home from the massive dinners! Lovely roof terrace!

We stayed in the original house and the rooms and bathroom are looking tired and do need an upgrade. It would also be nice if there were more sun loungers as there are now more rooms in the newer section of the house so we were unable to spend any time by the pool as the few loungers on offer were already occupied.

Amazing stay in the heart of Stellenbosch with the most delicious breakfast!

Amazing guesthouse - really welcoming staff, special touches for our honeymoon (balloons and bubbles), lovely large high ceiling rooms. Breakfast was the best we have had all trip - so much variety and all so fresh, served in a beautiful garden patio. Secure private parking.

A nice place to stay but feel we might have overpaid.

The property is located on a nice quiet residential street, staff very friendly and breakfast fantastic. Easy access to both Stellenbosch and Francheok wine areas.

The room was a bit tired in areas, particularly the bathroom which had a lot of engrained mould and rusty appliances.
