A road-panel to help to find the hotel is inexistant. The rooms have old fashioned looks which are not at all safe. We were not informed when the electric supply was interupted for hours although we asked several time for. There is no feeling at all of a responsible host Manager. All this together does not come up to a boutique hotel for the time beeing.

Dear guest, thank you very much for your feedback and the constructive critical feedback. We not only appreciate this but take it seriously. There are two road panels coming towards our lodge, one on each side of the main road M12. In South Africa, load shedding is a very common phenomenon which is indeed very bothering. The governmental company ESKOM then interrupts electricity for certain entire areas. So, every building in that specific area is then affected and has basically no influence on this. We do have a generator to have the fridges and freezers etc. going but yes, there then is an outtake in the rooms for a certain period of time. We only renovated the rooms in 2017, so we are a bit surprised by the feedback that they are old-fashioned. We take it here that tastes differ but we do always keep an eye on updating the interior when necessary. All the best from South Africa The Cultivar Guest Lodge Team

We had a 2 night stay at Cultivar. The rooms are extremely good and set in beautiful landscaped gardens. There is a choice of 2 pools and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. It’s located a little outside Stellenbosch which means it is away from the main restaurants etc. But it was more relaxing for it and the town is only 20 minutes away by taxi. I would stay here again.

Beautiful setting with amazing views from some of the rooms. Rooms are quite sparse but clean. Take repellent - clouds of mosquitoes greet you in the evenings and early mornings. Very good breakfast selection. We never had wi-fi for all 3 days of our stay - reported it several times, but no solution offered. Staff seem tired and overworked - hardly ever received a smile and greetings were forced. Septic tank cleansing had been arranged for Friday evening! Very questionable timing. Fair drive to and from the centre of Stellenbosch.

Hello there! Thanks a lot for your feedback, we really appreciate this! The mozzies are very annoying this year, that is true. However, we have already installed mosquito shields in front of the rooms windows now and that issue is solved :-) For the wifi, we unfortunately depend on our provider. It generally is very reliable, there are just certain times when signal interrupts when maintenance is done. The tank cleansing unfortunately is timed not by us but the supplier and we try our very best to not do it at night time but sometimes it is inevitable. We still hope that you had a good time at Cultivar Guest Lodge! Kind regards Barbara

We had a great stay and especially enjoyed being able to braai outside our unit each evening. The unit was well appointed and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Thanks for having us at Cultivar.
