Detailed Reviews
Spent an excellent mountain biking holiday. Amazing Garden to relax and stretch legs after biking. Mostly flow trails in many different areas to explore. Welcoming and great hosts that have cool tips and support for other activities. Especially the restaurant tips are very useful which is another great thing because so many options are available just few minutes drive away. Definitively recommend!

4 heaven guesthouse is beautifully and very quitely situated at the foot of the Helderberg with the whole Capetown Region and its wineyards in short reach. From the beginning you will feel at home in luxury with very comfortable beds (separated blankets !), delicious breakfasts, extremely neat garden with terrasse and poolside, friendly personnel aso. The owner is always very helpful in recommending and booking (!) good restaurants and other interesting activities/locations according to your interests. When you leave you will be sorry to leave this place in "heaven" !

We stayed at 4 Heaven in October and it is a great place.
The whole house is beautiful decorated with great attention to detail. We were very happy - from the warm welcome of the wonderful staff and management to our spacious luxurious and clean room.
Melanie and Uwe were excellent and gracious hosts and took care of all our needs.
From a relaxed day at the pool in the beautiful garden of the guesthouse to many great and worthwhile excursions to stunning places nearby 4 heaven really offers great opportunities to discover the whole cape area and the vineyards. Whale watching, shark diving...whatever you´re looking for is really close.
We would definetely recommend this beautiful place and whenever we come to south africa we will go there again.

We booked this Guesthouse after reading the reviews on trip advisor, I booked our holiday around this Guesthouse as it was only available for 6 nights so book well in advance! It was better than we could have ever imagined! This was our best Holiday ever. The Stuff was very friendly and helpful. Please read all of the excellent reviews to get a flavour of how amazing this place is.

My wife and I spent 2 nights with Brigitta and Franz
The location of 4 Haven is superb and nestled in tress on a large property in the foothills of the Helderberg Mountains
The mountainbiking options using 4 heaven as a base are superb - and whilst I "only" cycled for 2 days there is the choice of some 30 trails within a reasonable travelling distance from the home
The bicycles are world-class dual suspension ( Specialised and Scott )
Large and well decorated rooms , great facilities and of course close to Stellenbosch, Cape Town, Hermanus and MANY other attractions
Hope to go back!!

After being here in 2016 we returned in 2017 and loved every minute of our stay. Franz and Brigitta are the perfect hosts with love to small details making our stay recreational and fun. We enjoyed the great bike trails of the Cape region with them and got to know the vineyards and fine restaurants close-by. We are looking forward to returning again.
