Breakfast was excellent - large continental buffet with a wide variety of egg dishes ordered from the menu. Service at the resort was excellent."

"Chapter House was perfect for what we wanted to do In Franschhoek. It was quiet, clean and the staff were very friendly. Well located near the high street too so a very short walk in. Accessible to vineyards too!"

"The setting of the hotel is lovely with great views in every direction. The property is more homely than high quality and although the people serving were lovely, it lacked the quality and finesse that we have seen elsewhere in SA eg Lanzerac and Raddisson Cape Town. The service at dinner was warm and welcoming but the foot was ordinary. The rare steak I ordered was medium to well done. I’d suggest the property is due for a refurbishment as in places our room looked tired. Location 5 stars;...

"This is one of the most beautiful farms if you just want simple indulgence. The food is beautiful and the grounds just delight. I loved walking through. Delicious breakfast and a lovely, cosy room where we lit the fire every night and enjoyed the underfloor heating. Pricey, but will definitely return."

"Beautiful estate in Paarl. It actually has its own vineyards, and wine. Beautiful rooms. Would love to enjoy the hotel in summer. Their pool looks wonderful. Restaurant was superb. Perfect hotel to enjoy the ambience of the Western Cape"

We had an wonderful stay at Le Cle Village. The property is so beautiful and quaint. The pictures don't do it justice.
The attention to detail was amazing - little touches really made a difference. I loved that the wine we had was made on the property. The service was excellent - Melanie and her team were so wonderful and attentive. We had a delicious traditional meal in house one night and it was definitely worth it. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

The property has character. Room was not very big but comfortable. Staff really took interest in what we did during the day and came up with suggestions. Friendly. Breakfast good.

All I can say is wow! We stayed one night in the hotel and it was epic, every attention to detail you could imagine. The staff fell over themselves to be helpful, food was incredible and breakfast in the morning was another level. I wish we had booked for longer but we will be back

We stayed two nights - the hotel staff were very helpful in recommending restaurants, spas, and helping us make reservations. The hot breakfast they made us to order was excellent!

On arrival you would not really know what to expect as you drive up the steep driveway but even then you can see how well maintained the Estate is.
You enter the hotel from the rear, where Reception is located and they then take you to the verandah for welcome drinks and the view is breath taking.
The Villa we stayed in was well equipped and had everything you could require to self cater. The only slight downside was the main bedroom was a tad cramped.
Everything provided was exquisite...

Babylonstoren was one of the best experiences we've ever had. The service is exceptional and the surrounding areas breathtaking. We felt immediately relaxed when we arrived. The attention to detail was amazing and very thoughtful, down to his and hers rain boots. Everyone we encountered from the staff were so warm and friendly.
This is truly a farm-to-table experience with all the produce served at meals from their own gardens. There is so much to do from garden tours to afternoon drives, that...

This is a phenomenal country house which has just a spectacular view and atmosphere. Their morning buffet was the best in all hotels i have ever had in south Africa. It was convenient to all the vineyards yet secluded enough to enjoy the peace of the country. I only wish we had stayed longer but alas could not. When I go back to stellebosch I will definitely stay here!

Excellent location - walk to all major sites in Stellenbosch and around the Univeristy. Perfectly situated for doing the vineyards of both Sellenbosch and Franschhoek by car. Many good restaurants out the front door - but don't need to wonder far when Helena's is inside this boutique inn. I highly recommend it. An easy relatively short drive from Cape Town.
