The detail

The historic Oude Werf Hotel was built in 1802 on the site of South Africa's first church which was destroyed by fire in 1710. The hotel is located in the heart of Stellenbosch which is well known for its vibrant shops, art galleries, stunning museums and beautiful examples of Cape Dutch architecture within walking distance. The luxurious landmark hotel is filled with antiques and decorated in soft tones, creating a warm and welcoming ambiance. Tasteful furnishings, attentive service, gourmet cuisine, and world-class amenities combine to give guests a memorable stay.

Oude Werf has 58 luxurious en-suite bedrooms in three different room types, set across the hotel property. Most are centered on the poolside gardens or in our historic inn-house. Most above-ground rooms have lift access, with some adjacent rooms interleading and family group-friendly.

All rooms have been extensively renovated or are newly built, incorporating latest interior fittings and standard room features which include a King or twin beds, en-suite bathroom with luxury bathroom amenities, high-speed internet access, tea and coffee making facilities, optional mini bar, air-conditioning, work desk, and satellite television.

23 contemporary styled Superior Rooms are located on all three floors of the Hotel, overlooking the shady central garden or quiet vine-covered courtyard. The open-plan style rooms spill with natural light and offer a bedroom, luxury en-suite with shower, vanity and toilet.

The 12 spacious high-ceilinged Deluxe Rooms are furnished in rich colors and comfortable modern Cape style and boast king or twin beds, large luxury en-suite with free-standing bath and separate shower, and Nespresso coffee machine.

23 spacious open-plan Luxury Rooms are located on the ground, first and second floors of the hotel. They enjoy airy views of the quiet central gardens or courtyard. Each room features a bedroom with a separate en-suite bath, shower, vanity and toilet, and step-out patio or balcony with chairs. These rooms are suited to families as they have two sets of interleading rooms available.

Oude Werf offers guests a tranquil space in the center of the vibrant town. The swimming pool sparkles by the manicured gardens, a perfect spot for relaxing or sipping sundowners.

The newly revamped bistro, Liefde, serves classic Cape cuisine, with a modern twist. The culinary delights are accompanied with wines from an extensive wine list from the world-famous wine region. Oude Werf offers conference packages in a well-equipped conference venue, for up to 40 delegates.

Experienced a double booking
Before payment, we experienced an issue of double booking, where suddenly our chosen lodging is only available for 2 out of 4 days. I hope Safari.com can improve their system to avoid this in the future. While it will be an inconvenience on our part to have to move lodging half way, we also understand the high demand of the lodging as we make the booking just 5 months before departure. I really appreciate Nelia's quick action informing us and providing an alternative plan which works for us. Overall it was quite a smooth booking process.

Safari.com was helpful start to finish
Safari.com was helpful start to finish. The sign up process was clear, the support was great as we tailored our experience. Directions were perfect to get there. Everything in the safari was as we thought it would be and even better. It literally was the trip of a lifetime and exceeded our expectations.

Heleen 's service was superb: prompt, friendly and efficient. She altered my reservation promptly and efficiently. She warned me that SAN Parks might not be able to accommodate my wishes, but all is well.

A superb experience
Dear Jayson, You are a star. The very professional pieces of advice and the optimal design of the schedule that turned our holidays into an extraordinary experience. Thank you so much! Leopard Hills are indeed the boutique luxury camp that you recommended. People there are incredible friendly and knowledgable. The guide was excellent. And the cook, she was a friendly star too. The flight connections went well, despite that rather long drive, and the very early morning start. Wake up calls at 4 AM should be forbidden :) Mauritius was great, Club Med The Plantation Albion was the perfect choice. (The other Club Med @ Cannonier we visited only and were glad we didn’t chose that one…) Thank you again for the superb organisation.
