Bernice and her team made it the most enjoyable accommodating stay in Stellenbosch thus far. The Eerste River flowing on the Geusthouse doorstep, is mesmerizing this time of the year. Definatly coming back. Hopefully soon.

What an amazing stay!
Bernice was the best ever host. The rooms were very clean and tidy and a special gift was on our pillows. We had an immaculate dinner with dessert and wine.
The conference facility was such a nice experience. We worked until late the evening with coffee and homemade snacks provided. And the host came to check on us and lock everything when we were done.
This was really world class accommodation and the hospitality next level.
I will definitely stay here again.

Using Google maps we the instructions provided, we had no trouble finding The Avenues. We arrived early - and during load shedding, but they were happy to let us leave our suitcases..
5 minutes walk into Stellenbosch with its great shops and restaurants.
Lovely big sitting room for guests to congregate in the evening; unfortunately we were all too tired and went straight to bed after our meal in the village.
A full breakfast available next morning - plenty of choice.
Bernice and all the ladies were very friendly and helpful, filling our flask and advising us of a couple of places to visit on our way to Hermanus.

Our stay in this beautiful guesthouse was perfect. We arrived a bit late and Bernice welcomed us so kindly. We immediately felt at home. The guesthouse is located in a quiet street, a 10-minute walk to the beautiful center of Stellenbosch. Our room, and indeed the entire guesthouse, is so tastefully decorated. It feels so homely. The garden is beautiful with lovely sun loungers by the pool. The breakfast is delicious. Everything fresh, delicious fruit and different choices for a hot breakfast every morning. Bernice and her team are fantastic. We enjoyed it so much and will definitely come back. Thank you Bernice!

The bed was comfortable, the room was well appointed and supplied. There was even a flask of port and two glasses provided complimentary in addition to a good selection of tea's and coffee. The bathroom was small and a little tight but clean and the shower was great. The hostess was warm and welcoming and provided all the information needed for an enjoyable and hassle free stay. And the breakfast was incredible.

We loved every minute of our stay. Bernice was so welcoming and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The guesthouse is in walking distance of downtown Stellenbosch. We enjoyed the breakfast selections and the peace and quiet of the area. The rooms are clean and comfortable and there’s a pool and enclosed garden for guests to relax and enjoy.

We were four friends from Sweden staying at this guesthouse in November 2023 and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very friendly, clean, comfortable in every way. Quiet area and still close to restaurants and city centre. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Stellenbosch we are happy to recommend this little gem!

I stayed here for a writing retreat and enjoyed the peace. My room was comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. The guest house is also close to shops, and I enjoyed my jogs around the neighbourhood. The staff are friendly and approachable. I highly recommend it!

Centrally located in the heart of Stellenbosch. Walking distance from a number of restaurants and tourists destinations. Safe for walking along the river to relax or exercises. Close to a 4 way stop intersection so can get active early morning and late afternoon.
Lovely pool area for breakfast.
