Convenient for Stellenbosch, simple self catering cottages. Nice pool. But, the first night we were eaten by mosquitoes. No spray. WC directly off kitchen & food area, no basin. Not very clean in places. Generator only to pump water so difficult when no power.

Dear Trevor, our band leader! Thanks for the great review, it is always nice to learn if one has exceeded the expectation. I am sure you had a great concert in Beaufort West with people standing on the tables and asking for an 'encore'! All the best and with kind regards Hans J kast

The owner was kind. However Expedia mis sold us the room. What they said was an apartment but in fact a bedroom with bathroom plus fridge and kettle. This is not what we wanted. The property has a nice pool area

Wonderful place and amazing host?
Best place I've ever stayed at! Hans and his staff made me feel like I was home, not at a hotel. The room, amenities, food, service, etc exceeded expectations, and we didn't want to leave! Hans became my German grandfather and I hope to come back again one day. Thanks Hans!

Dear Quintus, thanks for your review even though you rate our place as poor. We would have loved to learn if there was a specific area, like cleanliness, service, breakfast etc. which was in your appreciation poor or if you rate our whole place and per se as such. We are quite prepared to learn and improve, but we are a little bit at a loss with a sweeping statement like this. Best regards, Hans J Kast - Innkeeper at Kleinbosch Lodge

Dear Anon - thanks for the review given. However, and as we are striving to earn "10'" reviews, it would have been nice to learn we are falling short of this magical number. Perhaps you can still tell us in which area we should improve that next time you come to our place we can get your full approval. Thanks + with kind regards, Hans J Kast - Innkeeper at Kleinbosch Lodge

Dear Chrisogon - and was it Melissa, your dear lady? Thanks for the great review, much appreciated. However, you've missed out on our breakfast, therefore should give you a rain check! Best regards, Hans J Kast

The "berry best" breakfast in Stellenbosch
Kleinbosch Lodge is ideally situated for business in and around Stellenbosch. The location avoids most of the traffic congestion on the R44. Hans is an excellent host who takes a personal interest in each and every guest. The staff are friendly and efficient and the dogs are delightful. Fantastic pool for those days when the heat in the Boland gets too much. Breakfast is something to look forward to: a fantastic selection of fresh fruit and berries, cheese, bread, cold meat, etc. etc.

Dear ASR-Doctor, thanks for really covering all media, being Expedia & 'tripadvisor' and thus giving us a lot of coverage, which is really appreciated! Found a prominent spot for your Owl - you have to come to check on it! Best regards, Hans J Kast

Dear Trevor, just going through the reviews received over time and must have overlooked yours to reply. So let me say 'Thank You' for awarding us "10" out of "10", for calling me an even super friendly and helpful owner and judging our place as very clean (have passed this comment on to our housekeepers and surely made their day!) and seeing that we have a nice ground. And thanks as well to recommend us to the travellers of 'hotel.com' - I am sure they are 'flocking in' now in their dozenss! Best regards, Hans J Kast - Innkeeper at Kleinbosch Lodge

Perfect
We stayed with our two years old daughter. The staff is very pleasant the location is great. We really enjoyed our stay. I wish they had air conditioning but again most places we stayed in South Africa don't have it. The owner is very nice and my daughter loved their two dogs. Very pleasant place to stay.

Dear Niclas, Johanna & Isabel, thanks for the "10 out of 10" - much appreciated! It was nice to have you at our place and obviously we look forward to have you back again. Perhaps we can have a driving range and a putting green for Niclas on our property and putting two obedient horses in the stables, still there from the previous owner to make it even more tempting to cometo our place? Best regards + merry Christmas, Noeline & Hans J

Vineyards in focus
Great breakfast. Very friendly and personal host who made us feel very welcome and at home. Amazing vineyards and restaurants around. Stayed for 2 nights. Kids enjoyed the pool even if it was a bit cold. Personal atmosphere and price worthy. Thanks a lot!

Perfekte Unterkunft für die Weingüter
Hans, ein deutscher Auswanderer, gibt sich sehr viel Mühe und hat immer einen lustigen Spruch auf Lager. Super Unterkunft, sehr komfortabel und sauber, kleiner Pool im Innenhof. Das Frühstück ist sehr gut. Tipp: nutzen Sie Uber um von Weingut zu Weingut zu kommen, extrem günstig und gut verfügbar. Mietwagen lieber stehen lassen, wenn man Wein trinken möchte.

Nice, welcoming place just south of Stellenbosch
Nice, big room with all I needed - and more. The lodge is located just south of Stellenbosch, close to a highway, but in a large, quiet garden. The owner, Hans, was very welcoming and added a personal touch to the stay. During the nice, outdoor breakfast he introduced the different international and national guests to each other. I hope to come back another time.

Tolle Lodge mit einem herausragenden Gastgeber!
Die Lodge wird vom Eigentümer Hans mit sehr viel Liebe geführt. Man fühlt sich von Beginn an sehr wohl-geradezu heimisch. Auch die Lage ist super-inmitten der Weingüter, das nächste delikate Glas einen Steinwurf entfernt. Auf jeden Fall kommen wir wieder!
