"We were blown away by this beautiful Estate! We were given the most lovely room right in front of the pond. Lots of birds and ducks to watch all evening and morning and beautiful grounds to walk around. The pool was delightful for swimming and our room was huge and bed so comfortable! Staff was totally fabulous. We wish we could have stayed here for longer than one night, but it was a perfect last night to our trip to South Africa and just 30 minutes to get to the airport to fly back home."

Recent Reviews in Helderberg Rural

Hotel Verde Cape Town Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Really very good for an airport hotel. Super-friendly staff and good facilities. Very reasonable price too. Just five minutes from the airport via the free shuttle bus (10 past and 40 past the hour from the airport)."

Oude Werf Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is wonderful all around. The location is in the heart of Stellenbosch with several good restaurants on the same street. The staff was so professional and courteous. We were greeted at breakfast every morning by charming Leticia who made us feel at home. The breakfast was amazing, with both buffet and hot to order food. There is also a nice bar and several sitting areas on the property. We had a rental car and there was valet parking which took all the stress away of having to find parking. There were countless wineries within 20-30 minutes. Don’t miss Rainbow’s End winery tucked into a small gorgeous valley. Also Tokara and Thelma wineries."
