Stellenbosch
 Stellenbosch itself has a very nice historic city centre with an endless choice of cafes and romantic restaurants where you can relax in the shadow of the big oak trees. Stellenbosch was founded in 1679 and is the home of a famous university. About 24.000 students make the historic town a very lively experience for visitors. Feel the vibe!
Of course we also offer museums, galleries, a small botanical garden; something for everybody.
The Beautiful South Guest HouseOur house is a thatched jewel, centrally located but quiet, right in the heart of the university area. Surrounded by old trees and flowers, you find it with a dreamy garden and a big pool.
Relax in this little paradise. We offer you accommodation in the old B&B (bed&breakfast) style; we have fewer rooms for more individualism!
Remember the events of the day with a cool drink in your hand and get new power for your next challenge. Have a nice dinner with excellent quality and incredible value for money.
Or enjoy a braai at our braii area, have a good red wine or....
