The guest house is absolutely stunning. Fiona gave us the warmest welcome and made as feel at home from the moment we arrived. Our room was clean and spacious with a nice, big bathroom. The breakfast was delicious and served in a beautiful setting on the terrace by the pool. This place felt special and we can't wait to stay there again!

Beautiful property in perfect location. 15 min walk to downtown Stellenbosch for meals and shopping. Our host was gracious and had communicated dining and wine options well ahead of our arrival, allowing us to book ahead and secure reservations. Breakfast was included and lovely. Room was comfortable and spacious. We had a ground floor suite which was very convenient. Several bikes were available for use, but we did not take them out. Overall, highly recommend this property if you are looking for good quality, personal attention, quiet and safe location, and pleasant amenities.

Beautiful Accommodation in a Beautiful Setting

This is a really beautiful guesthouse; totally in keeping with the stunning Stellenbosch area. We had a very warm welcome and a wonderful stay. The rooms, outdoor space, main lounge and dining room are all spacious, elegant and immaculately kept.

Breakfast was made up of three courses, each with various lovely choices. All the food was very nice, the only downside was the service was very slow and sometimes our orders got confused.

There were a couple of nice extras we weren't expecting such as free bikes we could borrow if we wanted, cosy swing chairs on the porch we could curl up in and read books and little chocolates left each night on our door handle. We were sad to leave after two nights.

Great Guesthouse

We stayed over for 4 nights as we had a wedding in Stellenbosch. The place is well located and is safe and secure. Not far from the Centre with restaurants and shops. We got Uber’s everyone but you can walk in to the Centre. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is great and the staff went out there way to make us take away sandwiches after we missed breakfast one morning. Didn’t use the pool as we didn’t have time, but it looked clean. The guesthouse was peaceful and chilled out. We would definitely stay again!

Lovely B&B in Stellenbosch!

We had a fabulous time at Summerwood as part of our honeymoon trip to South Africa. The inn was lovely with a wonderful manager and was such a great value. We arrived a bit tipsy after spending the day on the Wine Tram in Franschhoek, but immediately we could tell this hotel was special. The room was very nice and modern and that night we enjoyed the \"honest bar\" and cookies! The next morning after a great continental breakfast we borrowed bikes from the inn and rode into town for coffee. All in all a great experience, we just wish we could have stayed longer!

Very welcoming

A great guesthouse - the distance out of town didn't matter as they lend you bicycles for you to use for free. We used the bikes to get around on our own vinyard tour too. The rooms wrre large and the breakfast was lovely. We weren't brave enough to take a dip but we enjoyed laying out in the gardens.

Beautiful home away from home

This property oozes charm and is beautifully decorated with a lovely garden and swimming pool.
We wished we had booked an extra day.It is well situated for the town centre. The bed was very comfy and room facilities were great.
Rodney who took care of us made our stay very special with his charm and hospitality. ..the breakfast and cappuchino were outstanding.
All in all a 5 star place and one we will definitely return to again.

Great! Will stay again!!

Not located in town, but very close which was perfect for me. Staff great, room great, clean, comfortable, nicely decorated and even had extra electrical power adapters! Parking secure and convenient. Nice breakfast. Great value too!!

On,y thing, which is common foe this type of accommodation, no lift---so travel light or request lower level room.

Did not use honesty bar but nice amenity to provide.

Will return 100%

Amazing guest house

Wow....this guest house is amazing. It is beautifully decorated and has a very peaceful theme. The staff were wonderful and so friendly, especially Rodney who looked after us for the duration of our stay and couldn't do enough for us and made us feel very welcome and special.
Our bedroom was beautiful and ever so comfortable. You can tell a lot of thought went into decorating the place. The breakfast was varied with hot and cold food available and a very reasonably priced honesty bar. A nice touch is the free bottles of water in the room and dotted about the house. The gardens were lovely too and we spent many hours lazing by the pool.
The guest house is about 15min walk to town but it's a safe walk, there are also bikes available for free to make the journey quicker.
Simply the most wonderful stay.

Nice Stay

The only con I have about our stay is that we asked to check in 30-60 minutes before the actual check in time as we had a wedding to go to but was told no which I felt was a let down. The rest of the stay however was good experience, nice quiet area to relax, close to some wine farms, great breakfast, rooms and décor.

Fantastic Gem of a B&B Worth a Visit!

Fabulous Bed & Breakfast Guest house. Fantastic room (no 8) Could see 360 round property as top room of B&B. No lift so only get this room if you can manage cases up stairs or bags fairly lightish...but worth it if you can as best room!

Expedia dropped the ball

This guesthouse is absolutely gorgeous! Unfortunately, we were unable to experience what they had to offer because they never received our reservations from Expedia. They did their best to find somewhere for us to stay and they did; however, we were on our honeymoon and it was quite disappointing as we were really looking forward to our stay here.

A piece of paradise!

We loved this elegant and comfortable guesthouse. The staff is attentive and discreet, the breakfast is fabulous and the mood in the place lends itself to relaxing time in the garden by the pool. We visited five other places in our trip in SA and this one ranks top in my mind. The thing to know is that it is best to have access to a car to get to restaurants and coffee places. My guess: 20 minutes walk to the centre of Stellenbosch.

Great Service

We spent two nights at Summerwood while touring wineries. The room was comfortable, and the breakfasts were very good. What sets Summerwood apart is the service -- we had some car trouble while we were there, and the staff went well out of their way to help us. We would definitely return on this basis.

Great guesthouse with amazing breakfast

Very friendly staff and we had a great stay. There is a nice park just down the road that is worth visiting. Lots of wineries nearby and the town center where the restaurants are is about a 15-20 minute walk.

Summerwood was immaculate and very comfortable. Breakfast was amazing. Highly recommended.

Comfortable room but poor breakfast and overpriced

We had stayed at Summerwood when under previous ownership about 6 years ago. Since then it has been modernised but remains a beautiful (if less characterful) building in a peaceful pleasant neighbourhood about 20 minutes walk from the centre of Stellenbosch. The room was satisfactory if not very large and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was attractive with a good bath and shower. Sadly this was not the excellent stay we had experienced previously. This was the most expensive guest house we stayed in while in South Africa and had the poorest quality breakfast (a meal which is almost always excellent in this country). It is self service and bland. There was lukewarm scrambled egg and bacon with a few mushrooms and tomatoes and no provision for any other types of hot food. Some cold meats and uninteresting fruit were provided. All the other guests commented on how poor this was. An additional drawback as the noise during the nights. Each morning dogs woke us with early start to barking. One night had heavy winds and the sash windows rattled throughout leaving all guests looking tired the next morning. Sadly we had hoped for a really good stay given our previous experience but we won't return to Summerwood. It is far too expensive for what is provided and there are much better guest houses in Stellenbosch which we have used before.

Amazing hotel/guesthouse-would recommend to anyone

Booked with Summerwood last minute (6pm on check-in day) on Expedia and got a great deal. Everything was great - grounds, safety, staff, other guests. The guesthouse has an honor code for snacks/wine/beer/etc, in which you pay at the end of your stay that was very reasonably priced compared to places we've stayed at in the past. We had a car rental, so we drove for a late dinner/drinks (9pm) into town, which was very close. Could not have asked for a better stay in Stellenbosch or a better experience here.
