The avenues is very well situated, walking distance to Stellenbosch center. Cosy, neat and clean place to stay. Super friendly and helpfull staff. Rooms are in good conditions. Lovely lounge and a small pool.

This small property has a lot going for it. The location is good; just ten minutes' walk from the centre of Stellenbosch and less to the university, and central enough that walking is safe. The rooms are comfortable and equipped with a kettle, though not a safe (which is fairly standard in South African accommodation) nor a television (which I didn't miss even a little).

A small pool and garden provide a perfect way to catch some sun and a lounge with an honesty bar offers an inside social space.

Breakfast is beautifully prepared and served with fresh, healthy ingredients.

There is parking, though it's not ideal: it's all on the relatively small forecourt, open to the street (i.e., not behind a fence or other security barrier) and because there's no turning space, getting out entails reversing into a busy road.

However, these drawbacks are outweighed by the helpfulness of the staff and proprietors and won't keep me from coming back.
