This has to be one of the highlights to my trip to South Africa (and I've been to kruger park, so I really mean it). This place is beautiful and the images don't do it justice, you just can't see the tranquil environment and the size of this, the vineyards surrounding, the mountains, it's truly a gifted land. The bedroom is quite sizeable and the bed is very comfy. The breakfast was delightful and the wine tasting was worth it (mainly because of the shiraz). Staff was kind and caring. Would certainly go back and have already recommnded them to many of my friends, this is a true bargain, and if you are worrying because of the distance to the city, think again - I had no issues taking uber and bolt from here or even requesting delivery. Would have added extra days if I didn't have a fixed schedule.

Was not a surprise and I didn't mind much, but be mindful that the room I've booked does have steep stairs. Also I feel the heating of the room during cold season might not be so effective as it is an AC (with heating option), so take that in mind. The wine tasting didn't have the macarons they were always out of stock.

I liked that it was clean and quiet, it was a very peaceful stay. A special mention to the gate guard, the property security and the manger who takes the call request. All 3 were incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating.

The rooms that are cleaned without notice. If there was an option to skip room service for a short stay I would have preferred. I had no idea the cleaning staff would come to my room in the afternoon I was away and while I felt safe and trusted the staff, it was a very uneasy experience knowing your personals have been dealt with while you were away unknowingly. The spare key always also left in my door and the door unlocked when I returned late at night with many valuables in the room. I had to return 2 keys when I checked out after a 2 night stay.

Beautiful setting, great grounds with lots of impressive artwork and a well equipped children’s play area and lovely accommodation where we were well looked after by a great team of staff

Werf cottage: The open shower which flooded the bathroom and even the corridor, the polished wooden floor in our accommodation which was dangerously slippy, the broken electrical socket in the twin bedroom and lack of accessible socket to use hairdryer in front of mirror Jonkershuis: the low glass lampshades over the baby changing table which were low enough for the baby to grab and would have smashed if they’d knocked together

Excellent service - the staff, from the cleaning staff to the security went far above their required duties to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay. Wonderful atmosphere in the very well renovated and spotless old Cape Dutch style buildings - one could feel part of the history when going staying in the loft rooms! The gardens are exceptionally well-maintained and an absolute pleasure to walk through.

I liked everything! However, some of the rooms only have a bath with a hand shower (if I were younger I would have LOVED the beautiful old style bath tub, but I prefer the ease of getting in and out of a shower nowadays!) so make sure when you book to ask for a room with a shower if that is what you prefer.

Beautiful place - no questions about that! Our room was nice and cosy with a comfortable bed! Was fully backed up from loadshedding and well secured! Spending time at Weltevreden Estate will make you feel like you're back in the good times of the colonial era - in the good sense of the word! Great experience! Strongly recommend that place to everybody!

- Restaurant serves only breakfast and light lunch. There is no information both on Booking.com and on your official website that you are not serving dinner. Further, all pictures suggest that it is fully operational which is not true. Please adjust it accordingly as this is very important information. - There was no fridge in the room, only a small one shared with 4 other rooms which was filled with wine for 200-250 ZAR per bottle. - The toilet is located inside the room and is separated from the rest of the space only by a free-standing screen. This means that your partner hears and sometimes sees you doing number 1 and number 2. No privacy in this matter. I am mentioning this point as there is no picture showing the actual toilet situation :-)

Excellent breakfast but since it is served in the same area as the estate also hosts other events, can be (as it was) very noisy. The loft room we stayed in was amazing and very cozy, Mind you there is no privacy between toilet and the room so make sure you are very much at ease with whom you're sharing the room with.

The very limited service schedule - the restaurant and wine tasting opportunities close by 17:00 - prevented us from enjoying one of the desired activities: locally produced wine tasting. Ended up doing that in Stellenbosch restaurants but that was not as intended.

It is a beautiful property and value for money

The restaurant is not available for dinner

We recently stayed at Weltevreden Estate for 2 nights. We had a lovely time there. It is a beautiful authentic Cape Dutch estate, quietly located a short distance from Stellenbosch, with excellent value for money. There is the opportunity to have breakfast (a la carte) at the accompanying Jonkershuis restaurant, a truly fantastic breakfast!

What we did not realise beforehand is that the restaurant closes at 17:00h, so you do have to get in the car for your dinner, e.g. to Stellenbosch, but that's just a short drive. The rooms are a bit dark though, but we liked the authentic style.

"I had a lovely stay just 30 minutes from the city center. The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to assist. Melissa, the manager, is doing a fantastic job and even upgraded my room to one with a bath. The room was charming, beautifully decorated, and spotless. Breakfast is included, and the space is perfect for families, couples, solo relaxation, or even getting some work done."

There were some surrounding sounds from nearby construction and traffic, but that's beyond the property's control.

Tranquil estate , beautiful panoramic views, the gardens are immaculate endless trails of trees. Friendly and helpful staff, Jason the security, the housekeeping and manager Melisa was very accommodative. Fun filled kids carnival. Rooms are equipped, aircon was not 100 percent there was a fan though. Can add a bar fridge. Perhaps a kitchenette A shower for all rooms. Other than that it was a memorable New Year’s Eve
