Bonne Esperance Boutique Guest House

Very convenient location. Short walk from downtown. Manager is very kind and helpful.

A charming boutique guesthouse well located within 5mins walk of the main bars and restaurants of Stellenbosch with extremely helpful and friendly staff. We stayed in a double room upstairs which was quite pokey, although we only intended on spending minimal time in the room so that didn't really matter. The bed however was quite short, I'm only 5'11" yet my feet were hanging off the end! The room couldn't really take a larger bed however. Despite the above our 4 night stay really was fantastic. The hotel is conveniently located a short walk from all of Stellenbosch's bars and restaurants. Breakfast was included was was served a la carte style from a rather impressive menu. Their eggs benedict and french toast were particuarly enjoyable. The small pool area out the back was perfect for a short afternoon cool off after visiting the wine estates in the area. The pool is only small but it is all you need for a quick dip to cool off. There were 6 or so sun loungers which were extremely comfortable. What really made out stay special was the staff, from the moment we arrived they couldn't do enough for you! Our welcome was warm and included a small safety briefing of the area which was heartfelt, the staff really care about your safety here. That said, Stellenbosch felt incredibly safe compared to Cape Town, walking from the hotel to the bars and restaurants and back again at night was absolutely fine here. Throughout our stay we had a number of requests, including some emergency laundry we needed doing at the weekend. Despite the hotel's laundry hours not including weekends the staff went over and above to do our laundry, they also arranged us a private transfer for our onwards journey. They gave us their whatsapp number upon arrival and advised we could contact 24/7 should we need anything, another additional touch which you don't get everywhere!

Prachtig en fantastisch. Mooi hotel, vriendelijk personeel. Heerlijk ontbijt. Natuurlijk is de omgeving ouderwets-sprookjesachtig. Dat helpt! Maar alle voorzieningen zijn hier aanwezig en ons verblijf van 5 dagen was heerlijk. Goed bed en schone kamer. Heerlijke douche - wij dronken het kraanwater - geen probleem. ‘s nachts was het heerlijk stil. Airco was aanwezig (niet gebruikt). Er was een klein keukentje, we konden koffie en thee maken. We hebben ons er ook steeds veilig gevoeld. Buiten was er een klein zwembadje- met een aantal ligbedden. Niet groot, maar groot genoeg. Misschien goed om te weten dat wij niet in het hoofdgebouw zaten maar aan de overkant van de straat op 50 meter. En de medewerkers waren echt superlief. Ik heb ze hartelijk bedankt!
