It is great to be again in South Africa after four years and finding that At Winkfield life has made a good place even better. It started by Robert, the owner, picking me up at the airport and helping me to get a rental car that was in a proper condition. Then he guided me through a safe route to the guest house and there I was greeted by Katharina his wife and his increased family of two children and five dogs. It was like returning home to my family of yesteryears. Everything in order and clean and perfect, just like at mom’s house. It is lovely to be back!

The best location in the whole Region!! My Girlfriend an I visited South Africa and we liked the vacation and the Guesthouse so much. The Guesthouse has everything you need. The Area: 5/5 In the area it is quiet although you are in the middle of the city. The Garden is beautiful and groomed. Furthermore there is a Pool with many Options to lay down and relax After a long day. Also there is a small bar with self-service and the owner maked you Drinks in the evening when you ask him. The Room: 4/5 We stayed in one of the small rooms (like Hotel Room) and it was so comfortable. The bed was soft, the air conditioner was strong so the room cools down fast. We also had a small fridge in the room. Positive: The owners are very kind and nice. You can ask them for tips and Tricks for your trips. Also the connection to the freeway is nice. You are in under 5 minutes on the N1 and in around 20min in Cape Town. We liked our stay there and will definetly come back. …

Have spent several weeks over 2022 At Winkfield, with friends and family. It's amazing, relaxing, quiet and beautiful place. A location I will always return there when traveling to the Cape. Nice people, very high attention even for individual requests. Just a lovely oasis in this beautiful region. Everything up or above of what you would like to expect. Ever since I travelled there, the standard has been kept, not easy, considering what this country went through.

My trips to ZA (South Africa) start at Winkfield House. It is there I get the feeling of being back home, the welcome and the way you are taken care of and treated like you are one of the family. The feeling of being safe and secure, even when travelling on your own. To me that is the most important thing on my whole trip. Visiting ZA is safe and secure as long as you listen to the locals on what to do and not to. Then the fantastic thing is that everything in between, that you are not so sure of, is taken care of and you feel treated like a royalty. I also like to emphasise the cleanliness that is superb and another factor that makes me feel like at home. Bearing in mind my demand of a perfect standard at the location I stay in, I will always stay with Katharina and Robert when in ZA. I warmly recommend that you do too! You see, to me, ZA is just as safe as travelling to Iceland, my own country, as long as you get your information directly from the locals.…

We stayed here during a work trip for a week. Perfect hosts and great recommendations! Would always come back (for holidays too!). Also, good quality breakfast and a quiet area, so 10/10 for our stay.

We found everything at this guest house amazing - Excellent accommodation which was immaculately clean - The hosts were fantastic and so knowledgeable regarding trips, restaurants and places of interest to visit. They were not only friendly but very professional. The guest house, gardens and facilities are really beautiful, not forgetting the lovely sparkling clean swimming pool. We would not hesitate to return to this guest house and would highly recommend it to family and friends and to anyone who wishes to stay in Somerset West. We would like to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you to Robert and Katerina for making this a wonderful stay in South Africa.

A better Bed and Breakfast will be difficult to find, not only in Somerset West but in the Helderberg region. The hosts were spectacular, rooms perfectly clean and meals very scrumptious. Large, well kept property and sparkling pool.
