Best Hotels in Stellenbosch, South Africa

Having stayed in Franschhoek on a couple of occasions previously we eventually made our way to stay in the Protea. Great location, within walking distance of everything in Franschhoek. Very secure car park. We were delighted with our stay and will be happy to stay again. Lovely room on the ground floor near the pool with everything we needed. The food was very good. We had breakfast each morning of our four night stay and had an evening meal on two occasions. A very nice bar where we had a nightcap each evening. Two excellent bar men who were very friendly and pleasant and really knew what they were doing. All the staff were very pleasant and eager to please. Thank you for a very pleasant stay. We will be back.

We booked and paid for our unit for 10 nights. The view from the apartment has nothing to do with what you see on the website. At best, we could see a slither of lake, electric fencing and construction scars. The nice people at the reception seemed to think that this wasn’t an issue. We did. The noise of sewer pipe construction was daily, loud and invasive. An overpowering sewer smell emanating from the bathrooms encouraged our guests to leave after 24 hours. The following day we informed the reception who acknowledged the problem and fielded our repeated complaints with the provision of “smelly-sticks” in bottles to mask the stench. The sewer problem was continuous until our early departure. We coped with this with by lightning-speed toilet visits and using the kitchen sink for washing and tooth brushing. We made sure that loo stops were made in local cafes or reception before returning in the evening. We also found that airline earplugs in our noses made showering possible. The hot water worked well though. We had no power back-up for SIX days. They furnished us with two Iittle electric portable lamps and we had to make do with these and the flashlights on our iPhones. Eventually, engineers appeared on day 7, did some work in the garage and then there was light. Day 5 and 6 saw the end of water. There was just a dribble, enough to cook with, but no showers, dishwashing or toilet flushing was possible At this point we asked our second guests to abandon their trip to stay with us as the sewer smells were still unacceptable. The wifi still didn’t work well upstairs (12.6 Mbps upstairs) but the water did. By day 9 the stink was so bad we threw in the towel and left a day early. Enough was enough and we did not feel well. We shared this information and a request for a partial refund with l’Ermitage who responded by saying “sorry” and would do better when we next stayed with them. What a disgrace.

Stayed at Devon Valley Hotel for a working conference during 5 days. The hotel is perfectly located with breathtaking views to the valley and mountains. Adding to the view, an outstanding service by a dedicated staff, fully commited to provide guests whatever they need to make their stay unforgetable. Each meal served at the restaurant unlocks the flavours of south african and international cuisine, not to speak of the creative and delicious coffee breaks during the day. Certainly, a place to be back.

Stayed for 1 night in a one bedroom, garden suite - staff at reception does go the extra mile - while the one bedroom suites (apartment) is about 3 times larger than the standard rooms, due to a separate lounge, small kitchenette and an outside private garden, the rooms itself is EXTREMELY small, with only a tv in the lounge - the shower is over the bath, unlike the standard rooms that has a shower only - the mattress in our room was VERY HARD - although the property has spectacular surroundings of the mountain range, the suites whether on the first floor with balcony does not afford itself a view of the surroundings - ladies should note there is no bar soap, or even a shampoo in the bathrooms - most disappointing was the breakfast - it is NOT a buffet and ONLY some serials, a fruit bowl and 1 yogurt - NO cheeses, cold meats, or even different breads, rolls etc. - I did note it is a 4* hotel, however not even scons, croissants, or a muffin - a hot breakfast is served on order, which was quite nice - overall the service is fine, but the chef might want to review the breakfast offering, when considering the overall hotel rates - the restaurant and bar is shared between golfers and hotel guest and while we had lunch, the nicotine of the smokers sitting at the bar, reeked throughout the restaurant - it is my opinion that this is an ideal venue for golf enthusiast.
