Excellent room, bed, service, breakfast, garden. We really liked the place and its owner and the staff. We highly recommend to stay here. It is just a short walk to the city center. It is situated in a lovely part of SA. You have a lot of wineyards just a rotundan the corner. Only 30 minutues from the beach.

An impeccable 5-star experience at 10 Alexander B&B in Stellenbosch! The stay was exceptional—clean, tranquil, and complemented by a beautiful garden. The breakfast was a highlight, absolutely delicious. Special mention to the gracious lady who welcomed us and took our breakfast orders each morning with a warm smile, making us feel truly at home. She is undoubtedly a valuable asset to the B&B.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I can assure you that, on a typical summer's day in Stellenbosch, an unheated swimming pool is an oasis after a long day's hike or bike ride.

A very nice place! Ideal location to visit Stellenbosch city. With a super friendly staff and very helpful hosts Wietske and Paul. Delicious breakfast. No load shedding thanks to investments in solar panels and battery. Highly recommended!

Thank you. The investment in a green solution to address the electricity cuts is paying huge dividends in the relief of frustration and inconvenience for guests, as well as security issues.

This place is a hidden gem. The pool is surrounded by a garden with abundant flowers and trees, home to various bird species. The staff is very friendly, helpful and good for sharing a few jokes. We were treated with fresh home baked bread and a nice breakfast. In a 10 minute walk you are in the city centre with nice restaurants.

We enjoyed the three days we spent at 10 Alexander B&B. The room on the upper floor was nice and calm, the breakfast was excellent and Paul and Wieske, the owners, are very friendly and gave us many information about Stellenbosch and what to do there. We are looking forward to coming back, one day.

Nice and easy to access little piece of paradise close to the city center: We enjoyed the nice breakfasts in the beautiful enclosed garden next to the pool the most with all the birds surrounding us. The room was nice and clean with an open holiday feel to it with a lot of sunlight. The surrounding parcels are quiet and with a lot of large trees. The sound of the road nearby is OK. We enjoyed waking up with the view to the Simonsberg in the background from our bed.

Thank you so much for the nice stay! It’s well located and we loved the beautiful garden with all the birds. Besides that, Lois was very creative with the breakfast, thanks again! :) One feedback point: daily fresh new towels for the shower would be great.

Thank you so much. Our staff really appreciate their talents being appreciated. Thank you also for the feedback on the towels. Our house rules invite guests to simply leave their towels on the floor if it needs replacing, but we will pay more attention to this in future.

My mom and I stayed at 10 Alexander B & B for the weekend in Stellenbosch. We had an excellent stay here and would absolutely stay here again. Paul and Wietske are wonderful humans and made us feel so welcome and comfortable during our stay. Their dogs are also the best. Breakfast was incredible each morning and the room itself was spacious and very clean. Can't wait to come back to visit to stay here again.

This is one of the best B&B's I have ever stayed in. Wietske and Paul were wonderful hosts. The accommodation was special. The garden, the room, the breakfast - all brilliant. I have recommended 10 Alexander to my sister who lives in Cape Town and visits Stellenbosch now and again. Thanks Wietske and Paul. Sorry I ran out of time to talk more to you and your daughter.
