I am so glad that I stayed at Summerwood. Fiona is a fantastic host and so helpful from long before I arrived until I left - thank you. Summerwood is a lovely guest house with beautifully proportioned and decorated bedrooms, a cosy, comfortable lounge with complementary drinks and snacks, a lovely bright dining room and delicious breakfast. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We loved Summerwood Guest House. We have been traveling South Africa for one month and stayed in many places and Summerwood has been one of our favorites and has a nice homey feel. Breakfast is not self serve but has a wonderful menu with many options . The granola with yogurt and fruit is so good. The staff are very friendly. There is an honor beverage refrigerator with price list. Baked goods every afternoon with a coffees and tea. Many loungers around the pool, a good place to have a glass of wine. Stellenbosch is an easy walk up the road but Ubers are easy to get. Lonely Planet Travel book recommended Summerwood and I couldn’t agree with them more. Fiona the owner is very warm and friendly and we can see she has attention to the details with managing her guest house. We would highly recommend staying here.

This guest house is highly recommended. Nice rooms, big nice garden with pool. Free hire bikes. Coffee and snacks 24/7. If you fancy some wine there is an honesty bar. Safe and nice neighbourhood. Great breakfast and last but not least a very nice host. We will definitely come back.

Summerwood Guest House is a wonderful place to stay! The rooms are lovely and comfortable, the setting is relaxing with beautiful gardens to look out on, but my favorite was the incredible breakfast we had every morning. Fiona, your host, will help with arrangements for your stay and trip. There is the finest attention to detail on every aspect of your stay! My only regret is I don’t live closer to go more often. You won’t be disappointed with a stay at Summerwood G.H.

This was the third time I have stayed at Summerwood and I will definitely be returning again in the future. Fiona and Paulet are the friendliest, most welcoming and amazing hosts. The bedrooms are tastefully decorated and furnished, the beds are probably the most comfortable I have ever slept in and the bed linen is high quality. The bathrooms are exceptionally clean with very good quality towels. The whole place is beautifully kept and so clean you cannot fault anything. The breakfast is carefully and thoughtfully prepared with quality ingredients and extremely tasty. The service is second to none and I would wholeheartedly recommend Summerwood to anyone. This time I visited with a group of family members and they were also impressed by the standards and we all had a wonderfully relaxing stay. Thank you once again Fiona and Paulet.

In the past years We have visited a lot of b&b’s, Summerwood is without any doubt in our top 3. This is place is so nice decorated, very clean, the rooms are spacious and complete, the breakfast is top, very well located and last but not least the staff and Fiona are always very friendly and customer focused (always available for advice and a chat). If we come to Stellenbosch again, 100% it will be Summerwood (if available😉)

Our stay was absolutely amazing. The guest house is beautiful. The rooms are very clean and well equipped, with such attention to detail. Breakfast is delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Fiona, who runs the guest house, is very welcoming and made us feel right at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend staying here!

We really enjoyed our time at the Summerwood Guest House. We have been at many Guest Houses and AirBnB at our time in SA, but this was definately the best. It felt like coming home with modern, comfortable and super clean rooms, cosy lobby, great breakfast and a relaxing garden and pool area. Fiona is an absolute Angel, making us feel so welcomed as friends and took great care of all questions and requests. Can definately recommend as 10/10 stay!
