    Lovely room/ The room was warm even though the weather was cold. The host Christine was great. She organised gluten-free bread for me and packed me a little breakfast since I could not eat breakfast until I had my tests later in the morning. ...

    The owner and staff were very friendly, and the place lives up to its name with its stunning views. The host was incredibly helpful with a wide array of activities and places to visit in the area. I would go back when I’m in Stellenbosch next!
