What a quaint, charming accommodation on a quiet street in a beautiful neighborhood! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here; the staff was pleasant, the rooms are spacious and comfortable (I also loved the outdoor seating from my room), the breakfast was delicious and generous. It's located in a quiet residential neighborhood, and you can easily walk to town, which I enjoyed as it allowed me to take in the scenery and stunning homes. I A few room upgrades could really make this B&B stand out. The black out and sheer curtains were noticeably dirty, the walls were patchy walls (looked like the fire extinguisher used to be there and wall was never repaired / covered up), and the toilet paper holder hanging off the wall. These are a few nitpicky comments; otherwise, this is the place to stay if you're planning to visit Stellenbosch.…

We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary staying 3 nights at the beautiful Van der Stel Manor boutique hotel. A great, quiet location in close proximity to walking trails and many wineries in the Stellenbosch/Franschhoek area. The accommodations, breakfast ,and service were wonderful.

The hotel, the staff, the garden and pool, the location, the BREAKFAST in the garden! We absolutely felt at home away from home here, and the hotel and rooms have everything you need and MORE! It's a 20 min walk or 5 minute Uber to town, in a lovely neighborhood with beautiful villas. Peace and quiet within minutes of the many restaurants and shops.

Lovely hotel with in a great area. Not to far from the town, but away from the hustle & bustle and traffic. Room was spacious and comfortable, and breakfasts were delicious. About two minutes from Lazerac wine estate where we had a delicious dinner.

We stayed here for 1 night during our honeymoon and we were impressed with the local area which felt very safe and family oriented. They kindly gave us a bottle of bubbly on arrival which we enjoyed on their sunny rooftop terrace with stunning views. The breakfast was delicious - especially the scones - and set us up well for a day of wine tasting! All the decor within the property was very tasteful and we very much enjoyed our brief stay.

John could not do enough for us. My wife was ill and we arrived early and he kindly arranged for our room to be ready by 11am so she could rest. Excellent accommodation and fabulous breakfast especially the scones. Lovely garden view from our patio. Highly recommended. We hope to come back and stay again
