"We stayed here for 2 evenings in May 2015 as we got married nearby. Champagne and chocolates were placed in our room on our wedding night, which was such a lovely touch. Rooms: We stayed in the Superior Plus rooms which are absolutely amazing and highly recommended. Very trendy, clean and spacious. The rest of the family stayed in the standard rooms which were just as spacious and modern. Food: Excellent breakfast (included) choices. Location: This hidden Gem is situated in Stellenbosch main street with plenty of cafe's/coffee shops within walking distance from the hotel. Staff: Staff were friendly and attentive."

"From the outside it appears very tradition. Once through reception you come to a modern annex with beautiful rooms overlooking a lovely garden and small swimming pool. Staff were friendly and professional. I had breakfast and lunch and both were excellent. Highly recommended in a beautifully quaint town at the centre of the Cape's premier wine-producing region."

I would definitely recommend staying here."
