Beautiful property. Friendly and helpful staff. Tastefully decorated and comfortable rooms. The room's bathroom had heated flooring, a nice touch especially since we stayed here during the winter months. Our room was equipped with a massive TV with free streaming services. Delicious breakfast included (you can order off the breakfast menu up to R190 per person). The on-site restaurant is tastefully decorated as well.

As Paarl is my home town I’m probably a little biased.
As Paarl is my home town I’m probably a little biased. The town has much to offer. The historic Main Street, so put on your walking shoes. For those travellers who enjoy wine Paarl has a lot to offer. There are plenty of wine estates to visit including the KWV winery. A visit to Paarl Rock is a must with stunning views across the valley. Paarl is home to the Afrikaans language visit the Taal Monument. For those travellers who want a relaxing break, Paarl is for you. Paarl unlike other Wineland towns like Stellenbosch and Franshoek is a lot less quieter with fewer tourists. A gem not to be missed.

Paarl has a very interesting Main Street if you enjoy architecture: there are a couple of centuries of architectural styles here. The scenery and surrounding mountains are spectacular and of course … let’s not forget all those gorgeous wine estates, tastings and food pairings.

There is more than enough quality and good restaurants.
There is more than enough quality and good restaurants. Lots of things to do (e.g. el Paca farm). beautiful surrounds and fairly quiet. The only detractor are the beggars on the streets - I never felt threatened, but it gets a bit much after a while.

The Laborie location is perfect ..close access the highway .
The Laborie location is perfect ..close access the highway ..and not far from Franschoek and Stellenbosch. We really enjoy the Winelands and prefer it to the the hustle and bustle of Central Cape Town. Paarl itself is quaint and quiet ..although in fairness we did not venture out into the wineland area of Paarl ..as our trip was too s hort ..only 5 days ..next time it will be for two weeks ..
I have stayed at Goedemoed under its current and previous owners several times since 2010. It is perhaps my favorite place to stay in all of South Africa. Stunning views over the vineyards to the mountains in the distance. The property, centered around a Dutch colonial manor house, has recently been renovated. Excellent breakfast. Very friendly hosts. Feels like you are in the middle of the countryside when actually you are two minutes from the Paarl Mall or the restaurants on Paarl's main road.
The room was amazing, probably the best place we stayed at in a very long time. The breakfast was good and the view over Paarl was just sublime with a small vineyard right in front of you, you forget that you are actually in town and not in the countryside. The big bathroom with big shower, luxurious bath and toilet in its own cubicle was perfect. I would without a doubt stay there again in the future. I wanted to take pictures of the tilework in the shower as it was so well done. :)
Beautiful estate, we had a wonderful hike up the hill, through the vineyards to the Paarl Taal monument.
The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. Comfortable beds, Netflix and a generator - so that loadshedding doesn't ruin your day!
We had a wonderful meal at Giovannis on site restaurant and another great meal at the Stoep for our included breakfast.
Wonderful stay all and all! We keep saying we should've stayed another night!
We were provided with everything to ensure an easy check-in. The apartment was very clean and stocked with everything you would need to enjoy a great stay. The place is decorated very stylishly. Nice big shower. The hostess stayed in contact with us during our stay to ensure that we had everything we needed. The best part was the ice cold bottle of water in the fridge after a long day in a very hot Paarl. We will definitely return.
The hotel is in a beautiful location amidst the vineyards, spectacular views, glorious rooms and facilities, manicured gardens, everything is truly exceptional. Phenomenal breakfast, beautifully presented, excellent choices including locally sourced products and food items unique to South Africa. Excellent dining on the front porch overlooking beautiful Paarl Valley. Perfect service.
Thank You!
This is a great place located in the middle of small vineyard in its own building. 11 rooms total. Ina and the staff couldn't be more helpful or enthusiastic. Its located in a great location in the middle of the Cape Winelands area near Paarl (about a 5 minute drive) and halfway between Stellenbosch and Franschoek less than 90 minute drive from Cape Town Airport. A great value as well.
I might be a little biased. Paarl is my home town. That said the Pontiac Manor Hotel is very friendly and professional. Our rooms were very clean and comfortable. Our evening in the restaurant was very good and popular too. Meal excellent. Breakfast in the morning was good. The hotel is in an excellent position to see historic Paarl with its stunning view of Paarl Mountain.
Denneboom was beautiful, private and had everything we could possibly need self catering - including cafetière, firelighters and spices! The olive oil, wine and beer were lovely touches too. Wonderful, warm welcome and a very special place to stay with wildlife on the doorstep, surrounded by vineyards. Don’t change a thing, we will be back.

The property is well positioned within Paarl making it accessible and within walking distance of great wine farms and restaurants. Luckily, the property is designed in such a way that from inside, you are nestled away and hedged from the town and immersed in a lovely garden.
It was on a working farm in the Paarl district which was lovely. Marike was a wonderful host and very helpful. We had everything we needed. We loved the dogs and the peace and quiet and felt safe. Sitting at the pool was lovely too and walking on the farm was wonderful.
It’s the best hotel I’ve ever been in my life. Everything is great, especially hotel team which makes our stay very comfortable, Darrol, Hendrik and others ❤️
I think that it’s simply not fair to give this hotel ten points, as it deserves much more!!!
Kristien is an amazingly warm and gracious hostess. The accommodation is beautiful and the view from the balcony of the Paarl valley is breathtaking. Breakfast was delicious and the other guests made the stay really fun!
Beautiful room as advertised.
The venue was gorgeous. It was secluded while at the same time being very central in Paarl.
I'd love to come back to this venue again one day.
