Bonne Esperance Boutique Guest House

Very convenient location. Short walk from downtown. Manager is very kind and helpful.

A charming boutique guesthouse well located within 5mins walk of the main bars and restaurants of Stellenbosch with extremely helpful and friendly staff. We stayed in a double room upstairs which was quite pokey, although we only intended on spending minimal time in the room so that didn't really matter. The bed however was quite short, I'm only 5'11" yet my feet were hanging off the end! The room couldn't really take a larger bed however. Despite the above our 4 night stay really was fantastic. The hotel is conveniently located a short walk from all of Stellenbosch's bars and restaurants. Breakfast was included was was served a la carte style from a rather impressive menu. Their eggs benedict and french toast were particuarly enjoyable. The small pool area out the back was perfect for a short afternoon cool off after visiting the wine estates in the area. The pool is only small but it is all you need for a quick dip to cool off. There were 6 or so sun loungers which were extremely comfortable. What really made out stay special was the staff, from the moment we arrived they couldn't do enough for you! Our welcome was warm and included a small safety briefing of the area which was heartfelt, the staff really care about your safety here. That said, Stellenbosch felt incredibly safe compared to Cape Town, walking from the hotel to the bars and restaurants and back again at night was absolutely fine here. Throughout our stay we had a number of requests, including some emergency laundry we needed doing at the weekend. Despite the hotel's laundry hours not including weekends the staff went over and above to do our laundry, they also arranged us a private transfer for our onwards journey. They gave us their whatsapp number upon arrival and advised we could contact 24/7 should we need anything, another additional touch which you don't get everywhere!

Amazing Bonne Esperance is just totally amazing!!! We had the tower room and is was SO nice! The staff is super friendly, the location awesome, nice and quiet but very close to restaurants, bars and shops. The breakfast best ever! 10 out of 10!

Good parking. Easy to walk to The centre and road access to all wineries. Beautiful kept garden. Reminder to book the good restaurants and wineries, since they can be fully booked. Our R, 5 does need refurbishing. It's clean and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was fine, the gluten free bread was heavy, need to also offer plain white gluten free bread
