I loved River Manor. The garden and pool area with the spa overlooking them is so inviting. The rooms are tastefully and luxuriously decorated and the staff and owners are particularly friendly and accommodating. It is one of our favourites in the winelands as we continually get great feedback. The street on which the property is located is a stunning oak lined street, tucked away from the busier streets of Stellenbosch town but still within easy walking distance. We highly recommend River Manor for those wanting to be in the heart of Stellenbosch to take advance of what the town as to offer as well as the surrounding vineyards.

Established in 1802, d'Ouwe Werf is South Africa's oldest and most historic hotel and has defined hospitality and fine dining for centuries. Guests enjoy the wonders of the Cape Winelands from the repose of the luxurious accommodation, situated in the historical core of the university town of Stellenbosch, only 45km from Cape Town, 20km from the sea and surrounded by beautiful mountains. Located on tranquil Church Street, d'Ouwe Werf retains the graceful ambience of Georgian style throughout. Soft hues and antique furniture have been tastefully aligned with the comforts of modern living to create a calm haven from which to base your explorations of Stellenbosch.
