"Beautiful, renovated historic hotel. Cooked to order breakfast was nice. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Would stay here again. "

"Nice hotel. That is getting a bit shabby. Due for a refresh but pleasant stay overall. "

"The hotel is part of what was once a jail. Room was clean comfortable and a good size. Tea and coffee making facilities. Right next to the aquarium and all that the waterfront has to offer "

"Wonderful hotel and staff. Made us feel at home from the first moment. Can’t recommend highly enough! We will certainly be back. "

"I have been staying here for years. Right in the missdoe in beautiful stellenbosch. Comfortable rooms and pleasant service . I will be back!"

"The property is in a parlous state of repair. Windows that a terrible and need replacing, the shower in our room was unacceptable as was the floor in the bathroom. None of the doors fitted and the locks were useless. Our bedroom was tawdry and needs a serious revamp - acually everything does. Dinner was mediocre although the estate shiraz was good . Breakfast was good but very slow. Will I stay here again? No! Very expensive for what you get"

"It was closed the entire time I was there and received no refund"

"I loved my stay here. The staff were so friendly and looked after me especially when I fell ill during my stay. The spa was wonderful. I would love to come and stay again! "

"Unfortunately power was out in Swellendam during our stay (of course not their fault) but generator was kept on only for short periods of time. Otherwise, beautiful property gardens, pool, and luxurious accommodations."

"Attention to detail is displayed in every corner of this property. Beautiful! Have the soufflé for breakfast."
