Summerwood Guest House

More sumptuous than a guest house and more homely than a hotel, Summerwood is an adults only guest house situated in beautiful Stellenbosch, nestled between mountains and rivers, the perfect base from which to explore. Conveniently located within easy reach of the Winelands, Cape Town and its spectacular scenery, the guest house is set in a serene garden featuring a wide variety of indigenous plants. Originally built in 1904, it was designed by famous architect Mello Damstra and has been lovingly restored to meet the demands of the modern traveler. The friendly staff invite you to enjoy the comforts and tranquility of Summerwood and the beauty of its surroundings.

Best guest house in Stellenbosch

Pros: This is an exceptional guest house with attention to detail - spotless, immaculate and beautiful. The pool area with loungers is stunning with much more garden space than other guest houses. I particularly like the thought given to guest room doors - they close quietly - and proper milk in the fridge. The area is also quieter than others and the beds are very comfortable so I got a great nights sleep.

Ideal location with a 10/15 minute walk to the centre with a charming, friendly and helpful host.

Pros: Beautifully clean and ideal for a vacation in and around Stellenbosch.

Cons: As with many properties of this age, some modernisation is needed but I would certainly return.
