Perfect location, very comfortable accomodations.
My husband and I and two of our daughters were visiting our youngest daughter who is studying at Stellenbosch University this semester. This apartment was perfect! It was right in the heart of the city. We were able to park our car safely in the gated garage below the building. We drove to some places for hiking, but we walked to market, most restaurants, stores, etc. The apartment was well-supplied, nice linens, well-stocked kitchen, plenty of space. At night it was so nice to have the balcony doors open and sit out on deck with a drink. We were very comfortable there!
Impossible to be in a better location if you want to be in the center of everything! There are restaurants, shops and bars all over the street! The host Elana is simply the best! We asked her about wine yards , where to eat and she nail it! Everything perfect!
If you are going to Stellenbosch this is the place to stay. Right in town and in the best position in town. Easy to get to wineries and good food all around
