  Idyllic at Stellenbosch's center

  At walking distance to the town's centre with all its attractions and restaurants... An oasis of elegance and discretion. Rooms distributed in two small victorian buildings - all can be recommended. Unfortunately, the two pools were rather cold - but not their problem ;-) An excellent breakfast buffet is enhanced by a la carte dishes. To be pointed out: eggs Benedict and avocado toast. Very attentive staff members - thank you! The possibility to park your car in the yard enhances your flexibility and security.

  Absolutely superb!

  We absolutely loved our four night stay and all the staff and the service were excellent. The hotel is situated in picturesque central Stellenbosch which is only a short walk to the numerous restaurants. The staff organised a wine tour for us which we thoroughly enjoyed as we did a late afternoon laze by the pool in the lovely surroundings. Perfect!

  Excellent

  We stayed here for just one night before catching a flight home. We really wished we could have stayed longer. The hotel itself is a nice looking comfortable place in an excellent quiet location on the edge of town with the main attractions and a lot of good quality bars and restaurants only a short walk away. However, for me, the stand out feature was the excellent staff for whom nothing was ever too much trouble. We will definitely come back on our next trip and would thoroughly recommend to others.

  Our Living Journey Journey!!

  Location perfect for a stroll into Stellenbosch. Atmosphere. Very Friendly and Homely. Rooms Bright and airy. Received a very warm welcome. Staff extremely helpful. Off street parking. 2 Pools to relax in. Highly Recommend. We then went to Chapter House in Franschhoek. Which has been refurbished and extended. Central to shops and eateries. Very Comfortable. Then on to the Majeka in Stellenbosch A larger property than previous two. Heated Internal and external pools available. Food selection for breakfast and evening meals excellent. Planned refurbishment and additions to be underway this winter. Highly Recommend. One to watch out for. Our next Stay was the Tree House in Green Point Cape Town. Quirky entrance. But very welcoming and accommodating. Private balcony’s with sea views. Courtesy transport available on request. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay there. Then on to the Zest Hotel which is also part of the Living Journey Boutique Hotel Group. This was our last and was within easy walking distance to eateries etc. Roof top solarium a bonus. That was 5 Living Journey hotels we visited February this year and would recommend any of them. All had there idiosyncrasies, same door bell tone. Above all warm and welcoming reception from all.

  Lovely boutique hotel

  This hotel consists of 2 houses, next door to each other with 2 small pools, with a few rooms in the garden by the pool. My wife and I stayed in room 3 which was fantastic, with my girls in room 7 by one of the pools. Big shout out to Athobile who looked after us during our 4 nights stay. Breakfast was nice, with help yourself pastries and fruit along with a cooked breakfast menu, which can be eaten inside or outside. The hotel is 3 mins safe walk to the Main Street in Stellenbosch where we spent each evening. We found Stellenbosch very busy during the day with people eating and drinking, with most restaurants busy early evening, as they seem to close a lot earlier than the UK. We walked back at 10 or 11 each evening and it felt safe. Parking wise there is space for around 8 cars on the drive in front of the 2 buildings. There is also a small spa room where we all enjoyed a nice massage. Defo recommend !
