Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt! Leckeres Frühstück, nette Gastgeberin, nettes Personal! Wir bekamen gute Tipps von Penelope. Nette Wohngegend und ein schöner Garten mit Pool machten den Urlaub perfekt. Viele Weingüter sind schnell erreichbar und auch Kapstadt und das Kap der guten Hoffnung sind mit einem Tagesausflug gut zu schaffen.Wir kommen gerne wieder!!!!!

PENELOPE’S ist ein perfekter Ort, den man jedem ans Herz legen kann. Die Zimmer sind ausgestattet mit allen Annehmlichkeiten und sehr guten Betten. Dazu bietet es noch einen Pool, sicheren Parkplatz und sehr buntes und liebevolles Frühstück. Die Zimmer haben einen Balkon und schöne Aussicht auf die Berge. Das gesamte Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und man frühstückt unter Weinreben. Die Umgebung ist traumhaft und bietet viele Möglichkeiten und eine belebte Innenstadt. Stellenbosch ist eine junge Universitätsstadt mit vielen hochwertigen Restaurants und Weingütern in der Nähe. Penelope kümmert sich herzlich um ihre Gäste und gibt gerne Tipps. Es ist eine Freude in ihrem Haus Gast zu sein.

Séjour de deux nuits très agréable. Dès notre arrivée nous nous sommes sentis dans un lieu paisible et très bien entretenu. Idéal pour se reposer et découvrir la région de Stellenbosch. Accueil très soigné, petit-déjeuner complet, endroit propre et beaucoup de détails qui ont fait de notre séjour un séjour incoryable sur place. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir.

Das Pool ist top, da kann man echt schwimmen! Ansonsten alles nett und sauber, loadshedding wird mit Stromspeichern überbrückt. Hier gibt es nichts zu meckern.

Penelope’s guesthouse is in an ideal location for visiting Stellenbosch and the surrounding wine region. It is a fantastic place to stay. Great room and lovely hostess. The house is beautifully furnished and spotless. Penny made us welcome from the time we arrived until we left, nothing was to much trouble for her. She gave my wife and I lots of advice on places to visit. We will definitely return next time we are in the Western Cape.

Bien mais cher et sans charme

C'est une maison conçue pour être une guesthouse, avec 4 chambres plus ou moins identiques a l’étage. C'est confortable mais sans charme. Et la maison est située dans un quartier banal en périphérie de Stellenbosch. Par ailleurs, j'ai du payer en espèce, notre hôte ne prenant pas la carte de crédit pour des raisons de coût. Pour 115 Euros la nuit, je m'attendais a nettement mieux (et nous avons eu pendant notre séjour des guesthouse largement supérieure pour moins cher, y compris a Cape Town)

Penelope's Guest House - a MUST in Stellenbosche!

Penelope was LOVE, one of the best hosts, ever! She made our stay feel like home. The place is very cozy and comfortable, well maintained in a quiet area so we were able to relax on our vacation just as we should. Breakfast was lovely too. The guest house is accessible via uber and very near the University area as well as other nearby wineries and vineyards. We will definitely come back! I recommend this for groups as well so you can rent the entire guest house for yourselves!

Do not miss this gem.

Aside from the first class accommodations and breakfast, a real treat was Penelope herself. She was warm and welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful, and a guenuinely delightful person. The beautiful gardens and fresh cut flowers in the room made yu feel like you were in an oasis. Thank you Penelope for a wonderful stay.
