    The owner and our host, Margie, provided warm and attentive service that added a truly personal touch to our stay. She went the extra mile to make us feel welcome and at home. Our room was beautifully decorated, comfortable and clean, with a tasteful blend of contemporary design and elegant touches.

    It is on the higher end of the price ranges in Stellenbosch but you get what you pay for

    very friendly staff, a very chic and unique property It features a small pool which was lovely dip feet in or to sit next to and work - they even provided an extension lead to power my laptop. Complientary wine - yes that's right!!!. Stayed in one of the garden rooms - very cosy and lovely Certainly stay there again next time

    Absolutely nothing not to like!

    Margie and her team are outstanding hosts, ensuring a warm and welcoming stay. The location is perfect, just a short walk to great restaurants. The breakfast? Absolutely five-star! And the coffee—hands down the best in town! We truly appreciated the convenient access to drinks and snacks. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood, our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. We’ll definitely be returning for another visit!

    What a beautiful little Oasis in the Town of Stellenbosch The room was large and had its own private outside seating area. The pool area is beautiful with a choice of loungers of small tables. The dining room is well equipped with complimentary cakes and a great coffee machine. The breakfast is vast and fresh. I loved the honesty bar with a wide selection of all types of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks Margie is a wonderful, friendly owner and her staff are all so kind and helpful. Shout out to Triza and Jolie xx

    The rooms could use some modernization. Adding mosquito protection would be great, as mosquitoes caused some sleepless nights. A few power outlets didn’t work. At the pool, 1-2 more loungers instead of a table would allow everyone to relax more comfortably.

    Margie was the perfect host—highly attentive and incredibly hospitable. Her “community” concept works brilliantly; we met wonderful people and exchanged recommendations. The service from all staff members is outstanding. Communication was fast and seamless via WhatsApp. Highly recommended!
