This guest house has a plunge pool, a garden and free private parking. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace.

Comfortable room with great mountain view; lovely garden area with two small pools. Friendly atmosphere. Gated, including the guest car park. Very quiet area a short walk from Stellenbosch centre. (If you'd like a room with a view, ask for the top floor - it's two stairs to climb, but so worth it). Excellent value, and we'd love to stay here again.

    We just loved Navarre as the location (in the middle of the vineyards) is quiet and beautiful. We had corner apartment with a large terrace and lounge area. The unit felt very private and the interiors were beautifully appointed. The apartment was spotless and the kitchen offered everything one could think of and need during our three night stay. The hosts were wonderful and kind and the complimentary bottle of wine tasted great. This is a real special place and a great location to explore the surrounding wineries.

    Great location, high quality bathroom and lovely decorated bedroom/studio. The studio is a bit of an oasis - green, quiet and safe - but only 2 mins walking from lively coffee places, restaurants/bars. The hosts, Izelle and Ian, were very friendly and helpful.
