Very nice guesthouse with all the comfort you need and a very good breakfast. . Bernice is a very nice person and we felt very welcome. Nice garden with (small) swimming pool. 10 minutes walk from the center of Stellenbosch and several restaurants.

Bernice was a brilliant host. Welcoming and friendly. Lovely pool and deckchairs - full breakfast. Very good location as only a short walk into the town so no taxi required.
Cons - Small room and some traffic noise.
Thank you

I was in Stellenbosch for a conference. I booked at the Avenues via Booking.com based on price, distance to the university, and previous reviews. When I tried to change the booking I was told that all rooms were taken, so I cancelled, but the Avenues emailed me and informed me that they had registered my new dates. When I arrived I was greeted by Yolanda, who showed me the room, explained everything and asked if I needed help with reservations and the like. The staff continued to be helpful throughout my stay.
The guest house has 8 rooms with a central lounge. The rooms are large, the bed is wonderful, the bathroom is huge and the shower could hold a whole family. The room has a fridge and kettle with tea and coffee, a desk and fair-sized closet, an easy chair and electric plug adaptors for standard European plugs (sockets in South Africa are different than anywhere else). The central lounge includes sofas, a TV (there isn't one in the room), an "honesty bar" with drinks, the kitchen is open so that guests can get ice etc. The lounge also serves as a breakfast room. There is also a small yard with a small outdoor pool.
Breakfast is nice. Besides cold cereals, cut fruit and yoghurts, they offer a hot breakfast cooked to order.
The location is very convenient, close to the university and to the center of town. And the wi-fi worked without any problems.
To summarize - not a fancy hotel, but a small, friendly and comfortable place to stay.

Good on-site swimming pools and restaurant. The views from the sea facing rooms were amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there! Rooms are spacious and well equipped. The lodge is close to main highways, and has plenty of safe parking.

A super friendly host makes your stay in any way comfortable. A really nice garden with swimming pool to enjoy. The breakfast was great with fresh fruit every morning. We had a room in the garden right opposite of the pool.
