Amazing estate, renovated from the 1800s with modern plumbing & electric. Good value for money.

After a hectic business trip of 3 weeks, I had the opportunity to spend some time at Weltevreden,before the last week of my trip. The food was great, service excellent, bed comfortable and the shower hot. Just excellent!

Wonderful hidden gem in Stellenbosch area. Beautiful estate with cute and comfortable rooms, good food and wonderful surroundings. Good location for wine tastings!

It is such a beautiful estate and the staff is very friendly, especially Leigh! The restaurant caters for various events from kiddies parties to weddings! The room has a romantic setting with a comfy bed. The Cloetewill rooms are perfect for a group of friends or family as it has a communal section for drinks.

Great hotel! Beautiful setting!

The furnishings are great and the best breakfast, hands down. The grounds are quite lovely. The staff are pleasant. FYI, you are staying in an attic. Thinking cobwebs and bugs, yes there are some. The worm thing in the shower was too much. The hot water is inconsistent. After traveling you just want a nice hot shower. Small garbage bin may or may not get emptied and our matching toothbrushes were moved to be right next to each other. No actual bathroom. Just a screen to separate. Do you move it to shower? You really get to know one another here. You are staying in a thatched roof, allergy sufferers beware. These noted items made for some discomfort, or maybe just a good story to tell. It is a unique experience. Just know before you go. You may just love it.

The welcome and check-in was great. Literally, nothing beyond a big smile and a let me help you. No paperwork, no documents to be signed. Nothing. The room was very comfortable although, being in an attic, beware your head.

The place is gorgeous and peaceful and the manager was very helpful and nice. Unfortunately, our room while very interesting and unique on the 2nd floor, was freezing cold (we were there in August) and smelled like a barn because of the hay roof. There is a "heater" in the room, which just blew cold air on us and made matters worse. The bathtub is beautiful and old fashioned but there's no shower, so you have to sit in the tub and shower manually. This would have all still been okay for the great price, but on our last day we were exploring the grounds and were shooed away. I had seen photos of the beautiful house and paintings on the Orbitz website, so we wanted to see them in person. They are however, on the first floor, and we were told since we were staying on the second floor, we were not allowed in that part of the house. That was a huge disappointment and off-putting seeing as we were made to feel like we were trespassing or up to no good. That ruined the stay for us unfortunately. There's plenty of potential for this to be a fantastic place--perhaps if you get a room on the first floor during a warmer time of year.
