What the reviews say
Penelope runs four guest rooms on the top floor herself, and reviewers keep returning to the breakfast spread and the beds. The one practical note: no self-service laundry, though the house will handle it for you.
- Penelope as a standout host who anticipated needs and added thoughtful details throughout the property.
- The breakfast buffet as a highlight, specifically calling out fresh fruit, yogurt, meats, cheeses, and a cooked option.
- One reviewer flagged that self-service laundry is not available on-site, though the property offers it as a paid service.
- A reviewer specifically praised the bed quality, describing it as the best she had slept in outside her own home.
- Fresh flowers arranged throughout the guesthouse and in the rooms as a distinctive touch.
- The four guest rooms sit on the top floor, each with balcony views of the surrounding mountains.
- Rooms are described as spacious and spotlessly clean, with in-room pod coffee facilities and air conditioning.
- Guests share a communal kitchen on the top floor that includes an honesty bar.
- The property is outside central Stellenbosch, with the town centre and vineyards reachable by car or Uber in 10 to 15 minutes.
- Laundry is available as a service rather than a self-service option.
