Detailed Reviews
Suite , 2 beds, adjoining main house, nice property.
Highly recommended for a short stay, little kitchenette with basic breakfast supplies of muesli , milk and yogurt, no bread though. Good value for money and pretty private.
No TV and no Internet disappointing

This house~hotel is surrounded by a small plot of vineyard, we stayed a couple of nights, it is slightly away from the village of Paarl, it sure has its years because the bathroom was already very old, in very basic but rich breakfast. The power goes out frequently. Very friendly staff

Wow, these people are excellent hosts. Caring, compassionate & professional, all in one.
Beautiful views and spacious, well appointed rooms.
We asked about dinner and were disapointed that they only offered breakfast & lunch, but then amazingly they offered to keep the kitchen open to accommodate us. A lovely dinner and overall excellent experience. We will definitely be back fro a longer stay.

The hotel is beautifully quiet in the vineyards with a beautiful view and a very nice breakfast terrace.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
The hotel equipment unfortunately seems to have stopped time, e.g. inadequate lighting in the bathroom, outdated electrical appliances with immense noise, water jet in the bathroom unfortunately very little, too few outlets.
The furniture generally has the charm of the 80s.
The pads of the loungers by the pool are, old and worn.
Great mosquito plague, that would certainly help mosquito nets.

The pool area was a delight, as was sitting on the patio watching the sunset against the mountains - drink in hand. Room had everything we could need. Bed was incredibly comfortable and shower was excellent.
We stayed in the basic room and it was lovely. The only thing to be aware of is that there is no room partition wall between the bathroom area and the main room. This might not be good for those not expecting to be in each others private space.

I don‘t know what we loved most, the location, the host, her assistant the breakfast...everything was so perfect, it was just hard to leave, but after finishing the Little Karoo and the Garden Route we think of doing a detour on our way back to Capetown, since we are sure, thi, our first stay this year cannot be topped. 10+ in every respect. Thanks a million ladies.👍

The service is excellent and the staff incredibly friendly and helpful. I chose this guesthouse as my get-ready location for my wedding and the staff were nothing but wonderful and accommodating to me. The food is delicious, vineyard views are amazing and the rooms are very comfortable and well kept.

Arrived at Nwanedi and was welcomed by Gerrie who went out of his way to assist. Beautiful room, spacious with excellent finishes. Most comfortable beds!,
Supper was excellent with wine recommendations from Gerrie.
Chef came to the dining area to explain the dish that was served, excellent!, one does not find that happening too often !!
Had a lovely breakfast the following morning with owner Jean in attendance greeting all the guests.
Beautiful views over the Paarl valley!
Pity we only stayed one night, will make we stay longer next time.
Thanks very much Gavin and Jean, really enjoyed our stay!!

The location and the house are absolutely nice - so are the rooms. But that’s it for the positive things to mention.
After 7pm nobody is around as the staff does not live in the house - so if you would like to have a wine after your dinner in town (they do not offer food on their premises) there is just no way to get anything. Although their website tells you about fine dining and wine-tasting - well, they do not have a restaurant. Breakfast is below average what we got in our 3-weeks in South Africa. First of all we were not even greeted in the morning. First sentence was ‘toast or cereals’. We then asked whether it’s possible to have breakfast outside as it was a beautiful morning. Instead of ‘yes, sure’ the answer was ‘It’s windy’ (which was not true), so we insisted to have breakfast outside and they did it with very little enthusiasm. You have to ask for everything as the staff does not really care. So if there is no juice they wait until someone asks until they bring new one. They have no idea what kind of jam they serve (‘you have to try’). Overall, we did not feel very welcomed and would not recommend this place. There are a lot of accommodations in this beautiful area – Nwanedi has to improve if they want to be what they think they are.

We were at the resort for the weekend and we had an exceptional stay. The owners and the stuff were amazing and very informative. It's about a 10min drive to the Paarl town centre and other wine farms.
