Lovely hotel, great dinner and best breakfast ever

Always exquisite service and views are spectacular as well as great home made fresh food!

Main bedroom & adjoining children's bedroom, plus bathroom well appointed, lovely & very comfy. Lovely setting. Shame we couldn't stay longer than one night.

This has been one of our favorite hotels, but I found it not as kept-up, perhaps recovering from Covid closures? Breakfast, in particular, even had not-fresh pastries, which for south Africa, is surprising. Our room was made up between day one and day 2, with the bathroom spotless, but bed covers just loosely pulled up, and no vacuuming

Extremely peaceful and laidback. Fell in love with this place

Aged Hotel with limited room cleanliness.

The property was of a good standard the receptionist was appalling gave us wrong information I.e. when I asked about bringing the car nearer to our room she told us we were parked in the correct place and that she would get someone to help she the took us through a warren of corridors to the back of the Hotel down a path to another block I left my wife at the room to deal with the luggage a very helpful polite young man helped me the car was about 35 meters from the reception then another 45 metres to the room it took 3 rerun journeys to get everything moved. I then discover a parking spot 5 meters from our block Not happy the hotel advertises a gourmet restaurant the only thing on the menu were burgers (we were celebrating our 50 th wedding anniversary) the same person took our meal order I asked for a glass of beer which came half empty I asked if she would please top it up to the correct level to be told to stop stressing she walked off to bring another glass this time 3/4 full and walked off it took 20 minutes for anyone to take our food order. The breakfast selection was very good and top quality but the hot food was cold . We were disappointed with our stay and are still waiting for a reply from the hotel management but are not holding our breath

The settings and area is beautiful. The hotel is a bit disjointed and you have to walk quite a way to get to room. Parking near room was not available. The room was lovely but there was not even shower gel. Only one small bar of soap and one small shampoo. The breakfast was also below standard. Not much of a variety. And the lights around our room were not working so the whole building was in darkness and I struggled to get up stairs in the dark. All the bulbs were not working. Very dangerous at night.

A lovely hotel in Stellenbosch close to everything you need. I recommend staying here.

The Devon Valley Hotel didn't live up to its 4-star rating. Upon arrival, the staff was not friendly, and our bookings weren't reflecting on their system. As a result, a room was offered that was not ready for guests to check in. There wasn't any extra bedding for when the temperature dipped, the fireplace wasn't working, and the telephone, which should have been used to contact reception, was disconnected and non-functional. Furthermore, we stayed in a room where a wedding took place on the lawns in front of our room, offering little to no privacy (This should have been communicated). Overall a 1-star experience.

Warm welcome, fantastic accommodation, lovely surroundings, staff are brilliant

We took a weekend break from our hectic schedules and this was the perfect place to wind down a bit. The view from the patio is beautiful, the food is great and the room with its semi-private access to the swimming pool was ideal (we were in the manor house).

Beautiful scenery from the patio. The breakfast was amazing, the restaurant was great too. Friendly staff and spacious room!

Really luxurious and wonderful place - the staff are so friendly and helpful and the Junior Suite that I stayed in was sumptious and decorated beautifully. Drinks on the veranda by the fire pit was a real treat. The restaurant is also excellent.

The property landscaping is beautiful. The wait staff in dining area are incredibly friendly and polite. The very upsetting and disappointing visit was we had no water one night so we couldn’t shower or clean up after a long days travel. The second day no hot water and then a little warm water for the next few days. Management did not rectify or compensate for the problem they just made excuses. Will not stay there again.

Peaceful and tranquil stay in lovely countryside. Dinner and breakfast service and quality excellent. Was enjoying the views and ambience before the heavy rain. I was impressed that there was an umbrella available in the room to keep us dry walking to the restaurant.

Wonderful location overlooking the vineyards. Large luxurious room. Staff are friendly and helpful. Restaurant food is excellent, only problem is when they have large tour groups, they struggled to cope.

Our only gripe was that they put us in room alongside another which was being refurbished by workmen. This meant we were woken up unceremoniously by workmen dropping hammers and speaking loudly. Just not on, also the air conditioning was faulty!

We stayed for 3 days. Our room was of a very high quality and extremely comfortable. The pool was right outside our room so it was easy to relax after a hard day of sightseeing. The hotel offers wine, gin and whisky tastings at very competitive prices - we did the wine and gin tastings and found them to be excellent. We ate in the hotel each evening and enjoyed excellent meals - particularly the tasting menu paired with wines which, at R650 pp is superb value. Breakfast was also good with a reasonable variety of hot food and an excellent cold buffet, all well prepared. The staff at Devon Valley hotel were very friendly and helpful but specifically we were very impressed with Lydia and Felicity who served us at dinner. Both were knowledgeable about the menu and wines and they had a very positive impact on the dining experience which we thoroughly enjoyed. This was our 3rd stay at the hotel and we would not hesitate to return again.

The hotel is situated in the Devon Valley so you’ll need a car to get to Stellenbosch centre. The views are breathtaking from the terrace. Breakfast is wonderful. The rooms are very comfortable other than the mosquitoes which were unbearable. Friends had another room where mosquitoes were not a problem. Plumbing was their problem but it was rectified. The yard could use a good cleaning.
