Located on a working protea farm, on the outskirts of Stellenbosch, this manor welcomes guests seeking the perfect base to relax in style.

Boasting panoramic views of the surrounding vineyards and Devon Valley, Sugarbird Manor offers modern guest rooms. Spend the day exploring nearby hiking trails, improving your golfing skills or simply sunbathing next to the pool.

We had a really nice stay at sugarbird manor and would definitely recommend it! The location is about a 10 minute drive from Stellenbosch center away. We did not have a rental car and used uber/taxi which worked (but you’ll have to make sure that they drive over a certain road which can cause delays on a uber app) The hotel has a beautiful view with a nice pool. If there any any questions or concerns there was always someone around that was more than happy to help us.

Conveniently located within easy reach of the Winelands, Cape Town and its spectacular scenery, the guest house is set in a serene garden featuring a wide variety of indigenous plants. Originally built in 1904, it was designed by famous architect Mello Damstra and has been lovingly restored to meet the demands of the modern traveler.

Excellent service from the host. Was allowed to stay at the pool and in common areas after checking out, as my flight was not until midnight.

Marianne Wine Estate's Manor House and Loft Apartments are Cape-Dutch inspired. It is set on the slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain, tucked away amongst citrus orchards, gardens and manicured vineyards. One of the two outdoor pools offer panoramic views of the Cape Winelands and Table Mountain.

Marianne Estate is located alongside a private game reserve and is surrounded by Pine trees. It boasts award-winning wines which can be enjoyed on the terrace.

Marianne Wine Estate didn't get an update when I changed our dates on booking.com, so when we arrived, there was no booking for us. However they were very friendly and luckily had a room available for us. The wine tasting + platter is amazing. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Late check out was no problem, that helped us a lot!

    The interior design and atmosphere were thought through. The house felt homey and not like a holiday rental. We had everything we needed to relax and enjoy the braai in the evening. The hospitality of Ann and her effort to add an extra bed were exceptional and very much appreciated.

    The views are unbelievably beautiful and the property itself is absolutely stunning too. The interior design and gardens are straight out of a magazine and the attention to detail is remarkable. The staff are super friendly, the breakfast is fab and the wine is amazing. There is not one bad thing to say about De Zeven and we already can't wait to stay here again! If you are looking at hotels in this area don't look any further - book De Zeven!

    We were very lucky to find this place before it is modernised any further. It was an execptional example of a traditional Cape House that had not been subject to a modern "interior designer". It was the epitomy of shappy chic.
