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."
