We stayed in November 2024 and hit lucky for two reasons: 1. This is the best hotel in Stellenbosch if you want comfort, sophistication, beauty and abova all tranquillity. The views are extraordinary, the pool and grounds are lovely, and the Taphuiss was a lovely place to dine in the evening with an Afrikaans menu. [Avoid the Manor Restaurant as it is quite barn like and the food merely adequate to good, although the Mielepap - maize porridge - in the morning was lovely with ground cinnamon] 2. A few days before arrival, we were offered a half price upgrade to a luxury room. Take it! We stayed in Room 505 which had been converted from a stable mews to a luxury bedroom and bathroom. The decor was quite nineteenth century with reproduction antique furniture and prints. It was immaculately neat and clean. We had a great time and I recommend the Guardian Peak winery for lunch.
