The Cultivar Guest Lodge is a gem! The pictures on the website don’t do the beauty justice. The grounds are stunning. The staff was incredible and helpful. We felt safe and cared for. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day out and about.

4 adults visiting wineries in Stellenbosch

Cultivar Lodge was lovely! Hotels.com had placed four adults into a 15m2 room, but luckily the lovely staff at Cultivar was able to organise us bigger apartment. The apartment (Pinotage) was just perfect. The view was amazing, room beautifully decorated and customer service excellent! Nevertheless, it is good to understand that there is no food available after 5 pm. The closest winery / restaurant is within 10 min drive and table reservation is needed.

Beautiful, but let down slightly by service

This is a very beautiful spot. The rooms are very comfortable and it's a wonderful place to relax. But we were given very old, threadbare towels. They were immediately replaced when we pointed this out, but they should never have been used in the first place. The breakfast is also adequate rather than anything really appetising. And the service at breakfast was less than friendly.

Deze guesthouse wordt gerund door een aantal dames die liefde hebben voor de guesthouse. Ze houden het heel netjes en schoon en brengen verbeteringen aan waar nodig. Het ontbijt kan iets beter van kwaliteit en assortiment. De kamers zijn heerlijk met een nespresso apparaat, grote badkamer, goede shampoo en make-up handdoek, aan alle details is gedacht. Iedere kamer heeft een kleine patio waar je heerlijk kunt zitten en genieten van de mooie, goed onderhouden tuin of het uitzicht op het zwembad en de bergen.

Einfach top!

Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Hatten ein wunderschönes Zimmer (Merlot) mit Sicht auf Garten/Pool. Frühstück einfach, aber völlig ausreichend. Zwei Pools im riesigen Garten ein absolutes Highlight. Genügend Parkplätze vorhanden. Super Lage ausserhalb Stellenbosch. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt verlängert, da wir uns rundum wohlgefühlt haben. Top Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis!
