5.7 km from Stellenbosch University, Sunset Farm Stellenbosch is a recently renovated property situated in Stellenbosch and features air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and private parking. The property has pool and garden views, and is 14 km from Jonkershoek Nature Reserve. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace.

The location is just outside Stellenbosch and offers beautiful views of the nearby mountains. On the way to Paternoster we were able to take a look at Sunset Farm. The employee at the reception was very friendly and had already shown us the complex and an identical apartment. The complex is very clean and has three pools.Actually you had to vacate the apartment in the morning on the day of departure. Since our return flight was late in the evening, the manager kindly offered us another apartment (to leave our luggage and shower) free of charge.

There is also a beautiful pool for warmer days. The cabin is essentially glass on three sides, making it a wonderful way to experience the garden.

    The setting is idyllic, surrounded by woodlands. This venue has three decks, braai facilities and a swimming pool. It is ideal for outdoor relaxation. Jane is a wonderful host and made sure that I was comfortable. There were all sorts of treats that I enjoyed. I would like to return to enjoy the swimming pool as I visited during winter time. The fireplace and air-conditioning ensured that the space remained cozy. The glass panels allow the trees outside to become an extension of the house. Quite breathtaking!

    A relaxing stay in the winelands. We had an amazing time sitting on the porch watching the zebras and springbok graze in the field. Beautiful views of the vineyards and mountain. We enjoyed a jog through the vineyards in the morning with the dogs as our companions and an afternoon of wine tasting at the tasting room. There are plenty of farms near by to explore as well. Zebra lodge was cosy, we enjoyed our evenings in front of the fireplace.
