Amidst a Protea farm and vineyards, lay beautiful Sugarbird manor. It surely is stylish and very wellpolished and wellmaintained. But somehow it lacks atmosphere and it doesn't provide any "home away from home"-feeling. Maybe it was because we stayed in weekdays in early december and the place almost seemed deserted. Views are spectacular and the pool is awesome. The best... More

Sugarbird is located on a 21 hectare flower & wine farm and is approximately 7km or 10minutes from the center of Stellenbosch. Taxi/car service costs R150 each way into Stellenbosch. We recommend that travelers without a car stay in the centre of town so that they are walking distance to restaurants. Wine estates and some of the better restaurants are... More

Sugarbird Manor is a great place to stay. It is modern, clean, nice views and with really lovely and nice staff. The woman at the reception always tried to make our stay the best as possible, giving us indications of what to visit and asking if everything was ok. It seemed honest and that really cared for the guests. We... More

We were a bit disappointed by the size of the so-called superior room. Nice balcony and view, but small room. The bathroom had small bath and shower, nothing special. Also they didn't check the fine details - only one bathrobe and a few marks on the duvet. Friendly staff, okayish breakfast, average feel. Surprized that its a 4 star...

I am sorry that we didn't exceed your expectations. I believe you are implying that our photos are not representative of our facility and I wish I could ask you more questions about that as I certainly don't want to mislead anyone. In any event, we will put more photos up. We appreciate feedback as without it we can't improve... More

Sugarbird Manor is in a very peaceful and beautiful location a few miles from the centre of Stellenbosch. The accomodation is excellent, everything is in good condition and there is lots of space and a relaxed atmosphere. The security is excellent two - when you are in the complex you don't notice the surrounding fence etc as it is well... More

Sugarbird is well hidden from the bustle but still right in the middle of the wine region in Stellenbosch. We stayed only for one night but could have stayed a lot longer. The rooms are beautifully finished, with views out over the vines and mountains. Our balcony was steps away from the pool. There is an honesty bar stocked with... More

Me and my brother had a wonderful time in Sugarbird Manor, we really didn't know what to expect but we we're blown away by the gorgeous view and location when we got there. I like the fact that's it's not a big hotel or anything, it's pretty private and cosy. Most of all I enjoyed swimming in the beautiful pool.... More

Wow, this hotel is a real gem. We were keen to escape the hussle and bussle and noise of Cape Town and we found the perfect place. The pool area is lovely and peaceful and overlooks the beautiful winelands and with great mountain views. It is also incredibly quiet except for the hum of a tractor or the chattering birds.... More

Agree with many of the other comments. Corne was away when we stayed, but the girls were good hosts. The gardens were delightful: great swathes of agapanthus that were just coming into bloom. They don't do evening meals, but they have an arrangement with the nearby Devon Valley Hotel, who came and picked us up and took us home after.

Top location outside Stellenbosch. The gardens of Sugarbird Manor are really amazing. When you drive into the property you are surrounded by the most beautiful exotic flowers. Near to the manor is Clos Malverne, the best place for wine and food pairing in Stellenbosch area.
