We had a very nice stay. The staff but hot water bottles in the bed as the weather was very chilly outside. Such a nice touch.

This truly is an exceptional place to stay with wonderful charming hosts and staff who are extremely eager to please- Breakfast had home cooked / baked items daily with a choice of freshly made smoothies/ juices daily. I’ve already booked my next stay!! I stayed in Chanel which also had the luxury of a very comfortable freestanding bath, complimentary water / coffee/ fresh milk and a bottle of wine awaits in the fridge in your room. Excellent location too !!?

We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.

Great location away from the busy traffic, but not so far from N2 highway. Great host who went out of her way to allow us to do a late check in way after their cut-off time. Big room for family and facilities well looked after, had a great breakfast also part of the package. Great service overall and quite relaxing environment.

This is the perfect Guesthouse in Stellenbosch with what has to be the best breakfast in all of South Africa. The rooms are charming, well-decorated and with everything you could possibly need. John is a wonderful host and he made my group feel very special. Amazing value for your money. Even if you don't like wine, come to Stellenbosch just so you can stay at Van der Stel Manor.
