This was our favourite stay on our 2 week SA trip!

This was our favourite stay on our 2 week SA trip! Penelope was extremely inviting and her attention to detail on all the little touches was well received. Well kept guesthouse, with a lovely garden and pool. Great location for a short drive to the Stellenbosch winery's

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 ĂȘtre une guesthouse, avec 4 chambres plus ou moins identiques a l’étage. C'est confortable mais sans charme. Et la maison est situĂ©e dans un quartier banal en pĂ©riphĂ©rie de Stellenbosch. Par ailleurs, j'ai du payer en espĂšce, notre hĂŽte ne prenant pas la carte de crĂ©dit pour des raisons de coĂ»t. Pour 115 Euros la nuit, je m'attendais a nettement mieux (et nous avons eu pendant notre sĂ©jour des guesthouse largement supĂ©rieure 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!

Peaceful paradise with lovely garden and pool!

We are really satisfied with our stay at this charming place. The owners were so welcoming and nice and the place was so Peaceful, with a blooming garden to have breakfast in, and a pool big enough to swim in. The room was even nicer than the pictures described! Highly recommended.
