Detailed Reviews
This was probably my seventh or so guesthouse visit and I absolutely love my guesthouse getaways.
I must say what made this so exceptional was the stunning exterior beauty that enclosed the building itself. I just couldn't take enough pics.
Last year I was at a GH just outside Hermanus at a retirement village in Onrus and it was absolutely lovely. However Auberge De Courtrai has now taken that top spot -which I didn't think would be this soon.
Showed some friends a couple pics and video and they were in awe. One said you'd swear it was the Carribean with the palm trees playing in the winds (amplified by the quiet surrounds).
Not forgeting the attractive interior which I would have liked more time to relax and chill, especially in the evening.
Thank you very much Zettie and also thank you to the lady that checked up to see if I was good throughout my stay.
Definately coming back and recommending this to people.
Thank you once again.
Until next time.
Kind regards,
Hendry Isaacs

We had a wedding in Paarl and stayed just a couple of nights at Auberge de Courtrai. The hostess, Zettie, couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable and location wise it’s hard to beat.

Having stayed in the Paarl area a number of times, I was stunned to realize that I had missed the real hidden gem of the region. Having received a warm welcome from wonderful Zettie, this was truly a home away from home.
This is a definite must for any traveler in the the wine region.
Breakfast was scrumptious and the rooms were spacious and clean. There is secure parking on the property, a safe environment for a holiday or business.
We can't wait to go back in the summer and sit by the pool wine sipping locally sourced wines!!!

We spent two nights with the family at this venue to celebrate our son's wedding on 23 August 2013. The venue is rated 4 stars, but in some instances the 4 star rating is questionable. The bedding is a bit jaded and the bed not very comfortable. Toiletries are not provided and breakfast was served cold. The stay with all our family made up for for everything and Zettie provided an excellent dinner the first night. In all we had a very memorable stay at Auberge de Courtrai.

My colleagues and I had a week training course in Paarl, we booked into this amazing guest house. What a wonderful place Auberge de Courtrai is. We spent most of our day there, starting off with a conference in the morning, which Zettie and her daughter prepared, their food is restaurant quality. In the afternoons we spent our time by the pool. The staff were wonderful, the rooms spacious and beautifully decorated. I will definitely bring my family next time.

The warmth and ambience of this lovely little Guest House is marvelous. I have stayed here on numerous occasions and good news travels fast as all my work colleagues now stay here with me.
Auberge de Courtrai is a must. Zettie makes you feel like family and her 3 lovely little dogs are a treat. The rooms are warm and cozy and the breakfast is perfect

We spent 4 nights at this venue as we also had to attend a family wedding on 23 August 2014. Our rooms were clean, cosy and comfortable. Apart from one cold breakfast our stay was fab and the dinner on the first night was excellent. Zettie is an excellent hostess making us feel truly at home. Her staff Martha and Lucia were also very friendly and helpful during our stay. Thank you Zettie, will definitely return!

We hired the whole guesthouse in Paarl for friends and family for a weekend wedding. The rooms were perfect and the host could not have been more welcoming with Staff that were super friendly and efficient. We spent a stunning evening by their fire place drinking local red wine. Amazing walking routes in the area with great restaurants that you have to try. I would most definitely stay at Auberge de Courtrai again even if your only reason would be the stunning views of the surrounding mountains

As my partner and I were not there during the day, the time that we spent there was enjoyable. Friendly staff, good breakfast and lovely bedrooms. A lovely place to stay for a night or 2. Would recommend it!
