My wife and I picked this hotel for one of our stops for our extensive visit in S. Africa mostly from Internet description on TripAdvisor and the fact that its title included "Reading Room" as my wife is a former librarian. It turned out to be the best decision we made. This boutique hotel, managed superbly by its owner (Paul)... More

The room was pristine and comfortable. Paul helped us plan an impromptu wine tour with a private guide and helped us plan our trip to francshhooek the next day. Also, breakfast... More

Beautiful guesthouse with a very welcoming host couple centrally located in Stellenbosch. We were treated to a very comfortable en-suite room with airconditioning, decorated with style, a balcony overlooking the courtyard where breakfast was served weather permitting and a choice of very tasty breakfasts. Next to the reception is a very nice livingroom and upstairs there were some armchairs and... More
