Van der Stel Manor is situated in a residential area, 5 minutes' drive from the centre of Stellenbosch. The restored Cape Dutch home features a garden and outdoor pool.

The luxurious rooms at Van der Stel Manor feature air conditioning and a private bathroom with bath, shower and bathrobes. Enjoy a cup of tea from your private patio. Each rooms has direct access to the pool and rose garden. The room was spacious and comfortable, and I could relax while looking at the widespread greenery outside the window. Load shedding in South Africa is one of the anxieties of most foreign travelers, but in that situation, I could enjoy the beautiful starry sky from the large balcony instead. The hotel was located in a safe area in Stellenbosch. The owner was super friendly and gave me helpful travel bits of advice. Everything perfect!

The bed and breakfast offers mountain views, a picnic area, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. We stayed at Lazy Lion for two nights. The setup was really comfortable and the host made it an incredible experience. They shared their insights on Knysna and South Africa and helped us refine our itenary for better. Interior was very interesting and the room was perfect with an amazing view of “Two Heads”. We loved our morning and evening teas on the balcony. The Breakfast menu was thoughtful of our vegan lifestyle. My wife became a full fan of their home prepared granola.

Featuring an outdoor swimming pool and views of pool, Cloverleigh Guest House is a recently renovated guest house located in Wilderness, 2.7 km from Wilderness Beach. With river views, this accommodation features a patio. The guest house also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. Great location with some lovely walks alongside the river in both directions. Only a 20 minute stroll to the restaurants in the central part of Wilderness. The accommodation is very well appointed with a fabulous verandah area, perfect for sitting out in the warm, sunny weather we enjoyed. We ate out for dinner on the four nights we were there, but self catered our breakfast using the excellent facilities provided.
