    It was a quirky place. The outside area was particularly good with a hot tub and a pool. Vanessa our host was great, very responsive and cooked us some delicious vegan meals which were excellent value for money.

    The property is extremely comfortable. It has a wonderful pool, which I enjoyed using. The location is excellent: on a farm, but very close to the main road.

    Location was superb, Host was friendly and so were the other guests. The patio area was our favourite. We enjoyed having our breakfast, lunch and supper there. We enjoyed spending time in the hot tub which was quite private too.

Property information

Make this rustic and charming cottage your base in the heart of the Stellenbosch Winelands. This cottage used to be the main tool shed on the farm back in the day. We transformed it to a private and quiet little cottage with enough space for 2. Best part: it has a private wood fired hot tub in the garden! Cool down in the communal pool or take a stroll to the local deli and nearby wineries. There is an outdoor fireplace and fully equipped kitchen and open WiFi.

Neighbourhood information

Nestled in the heart of South Africa's Western Cape, the Stellenbosch Winelands captivates visitors with its breathtaking landscapes, world-class vineyards, and a perfect blend of cultural richness. Stellenbosch, the second oldest town in South Africa, serves as the gateway to this enchanting wine region, located just a scenic drive away from Cape Town. The Stellenbosch Winelands boast a myriad of renowned wine estates, each offering a unique terroir and wine-tasting experience. Wineries like Kanonkop, Delaire Graff Estate, and Rust en Vrede showcase award-winning wines amid stunning vineyard panoramas. Visitors can indulge in guided cellar tours, savouring the craftsmanship behind each bottle, and participate in tastings that showcase the region's diverse varietals, from robust reds to crisp whites. Beyond the vineyards, Stellenbosch's historic town center exudes charm with its Cape Dutch architecture and oak-lined streets. The vibrant Dorp Street is dotted with boutiques, art galleries, and cozy cafes, creating an inviting atmosphere for leisurely strolls. The Stellenbosch Village Museum offers a glimpse into the town's history with its well-preserved colonial-era buildings. Culinary enthusiasts will find an array of top-notch restaurants amid the vineyards. Jordan Restaurant, with its panoramic views, delights with a fusion of local and international flavors. The Spier Wine Farm not only boasts exceptional wines but also features a farm-to-table dining experience at Eight Restaurant. For those seeking outdoor adventures, the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve beckons with its hiking and mountain biking trails, providing an immersive encounter with the region's natural beauty. The Stellenbosch Wine Route itself is a scenic drive, leading visitors through rolling hills adorned with vineyards, framed by the Hottentots-Holland Mountains. What makes Stellenbosch truly special is its proximity to Cape Town, a 30 min drive away. This allows for easy day trips to Cape Town!
