Everything was literally perfect!

We had a wonderful stay at this charming guest house located in a beautifully restored old mansion. The interior is stunning, with every detail carefully thought out, and the garden is simply gorgeous. We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary room upgrade and enjoyed a room with an incredible view of the mountains. The guest house is situated in a quiet and safe neighborhood, and we felt very secure leaving our car in the private parking area inside the property. Breakfasts were delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Our overall impression of the city was definitely enhanced thanks to this lovely place. Highly recommended!

Small grouse but thought it petty to charge for water in bedroom given the overall price!!

Lovely setting and location. Fiona was a brilliant host , friendly and informative about the area. Delicious breakfasts overlooking the beautiful garden and pool. Lots of shade from the trees which was welcome. Easy to walk into Stellenbosch . Spacious room and very comfortable. Loved the friendly bunny.

Almost everything was just fine, though perhaps the room furnishings were a little basic.

Overall everything was very well prepared and the property is still in excellent condition.

We really enjoyed our time at the Summerwood Guest House. We have been at many Guest Houses and AirBnB at our time in SA, but this was definately the best. It felt like coming home with modern, comfortable and super clean rooms, cosy lobby, great breakfast and a relaxing garden and pool area. Fiona is an absolute Angel, making us feel so welcomed as friends and took great care of all questions and requests. Can definately recommend as 10/10 stay!

Fiona was a great host, and even though our stay at Summerwood was short, it is a perfect place to rest and recover. We did a long road trip before arriving and this is exactly what we needed to rest and recover for the rest of our trip.

The breakfast was superb, no need to eat anywhere else when you stay at Summerwood Guest House. Beautiful garden and lovely to sit in especially in the evenings with the ambiant lighting in the garden. Quiet suburb but very close to Central Stellenbosch where everything happens.

The perfect place to stay with an easy walk to the centre of Stellenbosch and its great restaurants. The guest house is beautiful, breakfast was delicious, staff are lovely and Fiona is a fabulous host. The free bikes were an added bonus and we enjoyed cycling to a couple of local wineries. We could not have wished for more and we are already planning a return visit.

Fiona & Paulet were very accommodating with the little things I needed to make my stay easier. Also, their extra touches for example tea snacks in the lounge in the afternoons/evenings made me feel most welcome. I had guests over to spend the afternoon by the pool & they were also made to feel welcome. We were even offered an ice-cream treat on a warm summer afternoon - that really made us feel like we were at home. All the practical things were great: room, bed, facilities in the house & breakfasts. The location was excellent with close access to everything I needed in Stellenbosch & I could park my car at the guesthouse. Definitely a recommendation from me.
