It was a magnificent property. The hosts Linda and Christine were exceptional. The breakfast was great. You had the feeling that every wish would be fulfilled. We would definitely come back again. Thank you for the lovely time.

Ontzettend gastvrije host voor wie niks te veel gevraagd is. Vanuit onze kamer hadden wij echt een prachtig uitzicht over de tuin en de bergen van Stellenbosch. De kamer wordt elke dag super schoon gemaakt. Het hotel is centraal gelegen en vanuit hier zijn gemakkelijk tripjes in en rondom Kaapstad te maken. Wij komen hier zeker terug!

Niets.

Onze kamer was erg groot en ingericht met mooie meubels. Het ontbijt was fantastisch. Het landhuis heeft een prachtige stijl en is heel mooi ingericht. Eigenaar Linda is een hele vriendelijke dame en gaf ons een echt thuisgevoel vanaf het eerste begin.

Amazing stay. The place is even more stunning than I expected. Excellent service and beautiful breakfast.

Nothing. It was truly amazing.

The second room we stayed in (the one I had originally booked) was beautiful and the breakfast was delicious.

Upon check-in, the owner informed us that there was an electrical fault in the original room I had booked and moved us to a cheaper (but still beautiful) room for our first night, assuring me that she would give me a refund for the difference between the rooms upon check-out. We were very accommodating and understanding, and didn't mind being moved to the smaller and cheaper room for our first night. Everything was pretty great until our check-out, when the owner seemed to have forgotten that she had promised me a refund for the first night's mishap. I then reminded her and she only gave me R200 in cash - when the difference between the two rooms per night was at least R1300. Not wanting to cause a scene in front of her staff and other guests, I decided to to ask the owner for the rest of my refund via a message after we had left. She first ignored me until I filed a complaint with Booking.com, when she then accused my husband of smoking in her thatched accommodation - clearly wanting to get out of paying my outstanding R1100 refund. I informed her that was 100% not the case, as my husband and I live in a thatched house and would NEVER take such a risk. Because I was so vocal and continued with my complaint to Booking.com about how the owner was handling us and the full refund she had promised but failed to deliver on, she was then forced to refund me - but drew it out over days of me following up. Eventually she only refunded me roughly R900, when I was actually due at least R1100 (from the R1300 she had only given me R200 cash), but quite honestly, I was so rattled by the whole ordeal and the way the owner continued to handle me that I decided to let the R200 outstanding refund go. We will never go back to this establishment and I will not recommend that anyone stays there either - purely due to the owner's appalling way of handling her guests when she fails to deliver on her promises and tries to get out of refunding what is due to her guests.

The home was beautifully decorated - it felt like we were in a country home in England with its enormous living area, and exquisite decor. The owner, Linda, was especially attentive, welcoming us back even when returning late at night. It was the perfect place to stay for a wedding in the area, but also with easy access into Stellenbosch.

An absolutely wonderful stay. Linda was a lovely, charismatic host who made us feel welcome immediately. And Christine's breakfasts were delicious. We loved our room and really felt at home in our little bubble of joy. And the location! I loved the views that made you feel like you're tucked away far in the countryside, and yet only 10min from Stellenbosch central. I would absolutely recommend a stay at Gemoedsrus, and we'll certainly be back. (Ooh and the cherry on top of our stay was Linda's wine farm reccomendation. The perfect end to our weekend, so be sure to ask her)

setting on a hill , views of the distant vineyards and owner”s warmth and attention to make our stay a special experience. staff was very friendly and caring.

can not think of anything
