Absolutely recommend. Not 1 but 2 beautiful, crisp and clean pools and a green oasis with lush gardens and fantastic views. Oh and do have the cheese & meat platter, its's divine! Quite an extraordinary haven of peace and quiet just outside the hustle & bustle of Stellenbosch city.

What a fantastic hotel. The rooms are all individual and very private. The grounds are lovely and the pool was a nice touch (if not a bit cold!) Lovely staff and a great breakfast. Right in the middle of wine country, a total hidden gem that we normally would not have found. Highly recommended!

Stellenbosch is pretty and if you like wine a treat. Cultivar Guest Lodge, is well priced accommodation, easily accessible to numerous vineyards in the area as well as the town of Stellenbosch. The lodge is clean and well accommodated for a comfortable stay, and the staff, lovely. I had the most wonderful facial/massage in my room (there is no spa) but a service that the lodge happily organised for me.

We had our dream wedding at Cultivar Guest lodge on the 03rd of December 2022 and spent the night in their bridal suit. It was everything I ever wanted, 100% my dream wedding. The venue was absolutely breathtaking and staff especially Yolandi and Ronelle was warm and friendly and saw all our needs. Wedding planning was made supper easy with these wonderful ladies and additional services offered on site. I would definitely recommend this place 100%

I held my pre-wedding celebrations at the lodge and in the days leading up to the wedding both myself and my family stayed at the lodge. Ulandi and the entire team of staff (kitchen, housekeeping, check in and eventing) were absolutely wonderful to my family, friends and guests. Every morning we all shared a delicious breakfast in the breakfast area and even though we all had different catering requirements the lovely kitchen staff were on top form. The breakfast is both delicious and wide ranging. Ulandi and the eventing staff set up the most wonderful pre-wedding celebration in the gardens. Overlooking the beautiful green laws, pool and surrounded by the mountains of Stellenbosch both my guests and I spend a memorable night at the lodge. We also arranged several in house catering through the lodge and Chef Paul made sure the food was both delicious and also varied (even for the vegetarians amongst us). I cannot recommend this lodge enough!! …

We stayed for 3 nights at Cultivar. We enjoyed a lovely Braai there and enjoyed the pools in the garden with the most amazing view. The staff were extremely nice and helpful! You can see how much work goes into maintaining that garden and preparing the food. We had a great time!

i have to say that our stay at cultivar guest lodge was one of the best experiences we have ever had. i booked online and was expecting the average but was blown away by the room, the pools, the food and the facilities but what made our stay 10/10 was the staff. Their service was above and beyond and their friendliness was just phenomenal. We will most definitely be going back again. it has everything you need. the kids also loved it !
