    friendly and welcoming management, and I stayed in a beautiful room (a suite) with quality linen and thoughtful extra touches. The breakfast was average. The guest house is quite far from restuarants but in a beautiful leafy part of stellenbosch. I’ll definitely stay again!

    A Luxurious Escape to Remember!

    My stay at the 5 Seasons Guest House in the African Suite was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was transported into a world of comfort and charm. The African Suite exudes elegance and warmth, with its tasteful décor. But what truly sets the 5 Seasons Guest House apart is the exceptional level of hospitality provided by the staff. From the friendly greetings every morning to the service throughout my stay, every interaction was marked by warmth and professionalism. The amenities provided were equally impressive. The plush king-size bed ensured a restful night's sleep. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touches such as the complimentary toiletries and the fluffy bath towels, which added an extra layer of comfort to my stay. One of the highlights of my experience was undoubtedly the delicious breakfast served each morning. From freshly baked pastries to fresh fruit platters. The 5 Seasons Guest House is also ideally located. Whether strolling through the beautiful and safe neighborhood or the nearby botanical gardens, there is no shortage of ways to explore the beauty of the surrounding area. In conclusion, my stay at the 5 Seasons Guest House, African Suite, was nothing short of exceptional. From the luxurious accommodations to the impeccable service, every aspect of my experience exceeded my expectations. I cannot recommend this enchanting retreat highly enough and eagerly look forward to returning in the future.

    I don't like a lot of heavy smells in the room. There were these scented sticks that were so heavy that I put them outside. The staff took it away luckily. Also, in my room there was a chemical smell that I could not get rid of. I must admit that I didn't report it because they would have helped me.

    The whole house was absolutely beautiful and the big kitchen was available so I could cook my own meals. The breakfast was delicious and the staff friendly

    Five seasons guesthouse is a beautifull, clean and spacious guesthouse. The accomodation was clean en well managed, the rooms were cleaned every morning and the pool was a really nice addition. The breakfast was tastefull with fresh fruit, bread, yoghurt and baked eggs on request. The area feels safe and the accomodation is protected by a fence with a code.

    A desk and chair in the room for working would have been nice, there is one in the communal lounge but no A/C there...

    My second visit here and the rooms have been updated very nicely since 2 years ago. I stayed in 2 over the 4 days and both were exceptional, very comfortable, lovely linens, clean and well-equipped. The staff particularly Sandra were amazing..

    Breakfast is only served from 8 am onwards. I unfortunately need to be on my way by then, so unfortunately missed out. I understand the staff are only able to start serving breakfast then, so don't really mind.

    Charming property nestled amongst the big Oak trees of Van der Stel St in the better part of Stellenbosch. The room was very comfortable, the area very quiet, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

    We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the warm hospitality and a beautiful and comfortable room. We were also very grateful for the late check-out possibility which allowed us to have a full day of activities before catching our flight in the evening. The staff were lovely and helpful and the location was very convenient with a walkable distance to the town center yet close enough to the vineyards. We will be most definitely returning if we go back to beautiful Stellenbosch!
