Highly Recommend

Exclusive quiet area close to Stellenbosch, very helpful owner especially on the local wine estates and private off road parking. Stellenbosch has a lively centre with many good restaurants.

Das Pool ist top, da kann man echt schwimmen! Ansonsten alles nett und sauber, loadshedding wird mit Stromspeichern überbrückt. Hier gibt es nichts zu meckern.

This was our favourite stay on our 2 week SA trip!

This was our favourite stay on our 2 week SA trip! Penelope was extremely inviting and her attention to detail on all the little touches was well received. Well kept guesthouse, with a lovely garden and pool. Great location for a short drive to the Stellenbosch winery's

Penelope’s guesthouse is in an ideal location for visiting Stellenbosch and the surrounding wine region. It is a fantastic place to stay. Great room and lovely hostess. The house is beautifully furnished and spotless. Penny made us welcome from the time we arrived until we left, nothing was to much trouble for her. She gave my wife and I lots of advice on places to visit. We will definitely return next time we are in the Western Cape.
