Beautiful Accommodation in a Beautiful Setting
This is a really beautiful guesthouse; totally in keeping with the stunning Stellenbosch area. We had a very warm welcome and a wonderful stay. The rooms, outdoor space, main lounge and dining room are all spacious, elegant and immaculately kept. Breakfast was made up of three courses, each with various lovely choices. All the food was very nice, the only downside was the service was very slow and sometimes our orders got confused. There were a couple of nice extras we weren't expecting such as free bikes we could borrow if we wanted, cosy swing chairs on the porch we could curl up in and read books and little chocolates left each night on our door handle. We were sad to leave after two nights.

Great Guesthouse
We stayed over for 4 nights as we had a wedding in Stellenbosch. The place is well located and is safe and secure. Not far from the Centre with restaurants and shops. We got Uber’s everyone but you can walk in to the Centre. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is great and the staff went out there way to make us take away sandwiches after we missed breakfast one morning. Didn’t use the pool as we didn’t have time, but it looked clean. The guesthouse was peaceful and chilled out. We would definitely stay again!

Lovely B&B in Stellenbosch!
We had a fabulous time at Summerwood as part of our honeymoon trip to South Africa. The inn was lovely with a wonderful manager and was such a great value. We arrived a bit tipsy after spending the day on the Wine Tram in Franschhoek, but immediately we could tell this hotel was special. The room was very nice and modern and that night we enjoyed the "honest bar" and cookies! The next morning after a great continental breakfast we borrowed bikes from the inn and rode into town for coffee. All in all a great experience, we just wish we could have stayed longer!

Very welcoming
A great guesthouse - the distance out of town didn't matter as they lend you bicycles for you to use for free. We used the bikes to get around on our own vinyard tour too. The rooms wrre large and the breakfast was lovely. We weren't brave enough to take a dip but we enjoyed laying out in the gardens.

Beautiful home away from home
This property oozes charm and is beautifully decorated with a lovely garden and swimming pool. We wished we had booked an extra day.It is well situated for the town centre. The bed was very comfy and room facilities were great. Rodney who took care of us made our stay very special with his charm and hospitality. ..the breakfast and cappuchino were outstanding. All in all a 5 star place and one we will definitely return to again.

Great! Will stay again!!
Not located in town, but very close which was perfect for me. Staff great, room great, clean, comfortable, nicely decorated and even had extra electrical power adapters! Parking secure and convenient. Nice breakfast. Great value too!! On,y thing, which is common foe this type of accommodation, no lift---so travel light or request lower level room. Did not use honesty bar but nice amenity to provide. Will return 100%

Amazing guest house
Wow....this guest house is amazing. It is beautifully decorated and has a very peaceful theme. The staff were wonderful and so friendly, especially Rodney who looked after us for the duration of our stay and couldn't do enough for us and made us feel very welcome and special. Our bedroom was beautiful and ever so comfortable. You can tell a lot of thought went into decorating the place. The breakfast was varied with hot and cold food available and a very reasonably priced honesty bar. A nice touch is the free bottles of water in the room and dotted about the house. The gardens were lovely too and we spent many hours lazing by the pool. The guest house is about 15min walk to town but it's a safe walk, there are also bikes available for free to make the journey quicker. Simply the most wonderful stay.
