Pros: A truly outstanding stay in Stellenbosch. Beautifully located right on a vineyard, this apartment-style guest house combines the comfort and privacy of an apartment with the quality and service of a boutique hotel. The views, tranquility, and attention to detail are exceptional, and everything is immaculate and thoughtfully designed. Perfectly located for exploring nearby wine estates while still feeling wonderfully secluded. Highly recommended for a refined and memorable vineyard stay.

Pros: We loved our stay at Aaldering Lodges. The lodges are huge for two people and very well furnished with a beautiful pool and views. Stellenbosch or neighbouring vineyards are easily accesible by car or Ubers. The complimentary Aaldering wine is also a huge bonus, espcially because of how nice it is. Hope yo visit again one day.

A gloriously peaceful and quiet hideaway.
Pros: I stayed at Aaldering for five days whist I was attending a workshop just outside Stellenbosch. I wanted to stay somewhere quiet and cosy and it looked perfect. The staff were absolutely delightful and Jacqueline is the perfect hostess. I was sick with the flu and her care and thoughtfulness were so greatly appreciated. The cottage was perfect for my needs and the sunsets and view are out of this world. Sitting quietly on the patio, listening to the birds at sundown was heavenly. I would love to visit again with my husband in the summer to enjoy the magnificent pool and the peacefulness.
Cons: The weather was quite fresh for two days and I found the tiled floor a bit chilly. It would have been lovely to have the fire going, but I was not comfortable making an open fire indoors with the thatch roof. If assistance was offered I would have been delighted! I had to leave early every day and breakfast begins at 8am so I sadly didn't have the time to fully enjoy what was on offer which sounded delicious. Fortunately Jacqueline told me about a shortcut and provided me with a remote for the gate on a private road which allowed me to miss the traffic! Not only was it quicker, but it was a beautiful and stress-free drive; the perfect way to begin the day.

We were asked by the owner to be as critical as possible as they only get “excellent” reviews, but there really isn’t an
Pros: Absolutely perfect for a weekend away from Cape Town! The owner, Jacqueline, was present and very friendly and helpful. Suite was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Beautiful views and a huge pool - great for anyone who wants to do laps. Breakfast was also excellent and plentiful - lots of fresh fruit, yogurt, large selection of breads, eggs & bacon, fresh orange juice and coffee. The complimentary wines - 3 bottles (2 white and 1 red) - were also very enjoyable, particularly sitting out on the patio watching the sun set over the beautiful valley. Great proximity to Stellenbosch and all its amenities. Staff were lovely, security good and visible.
