Located on a picturesque wine estate 5 km outside Stellenbosch, this guest house offers rooms with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and vineyards. It features an outdoor swimming pool.

Guinea fowl, spotted dikkops and partridges roam freely in the vineyards. Lovane Boutique also offers private wine tastings, bicycle and car rental, and a tour desk.

I liked the room with the terrace and also the complimentary bottle of red wine in the room. The wine degustation was also very nice and for free. The wines, in overall, are very tasty and you cannot go wrong with any of them. Our favourite was Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. The staff was very helpful and the breakfest plenty and wider choice. We also liked the fact that the property was not located in the Stellenbosch city but very close to the city, as it was surrounded by nature and quiet.

    The staff were so friendly and helpful. They helped organize a birthday surprise, breakfast in bed and flowers, for my girlfriend with so much enthusiasm. The property itself is beautiful and lovely and peaceful. The location is perfect as it is close to Stellenbosch and wine farms. Being on solar meant there was no load shedding which feels like a luxury. 10/10!
